Website Errors.

[sulfuratus]

Hey, um...
is this the right place to mention that there is a problem with the Disqus comments on the results pages for the Giro? Every day I stumble upon comments from last year. My guess is that the URL is the being reused after the articles of 2016 have been moved to other URLs containing “2016”. Wouldn't it be possible to add a “2017” to the new articles to prevent this from happening?

Yes, this thread was set up to alert the CN website in the event that they make any errors, but I'm not entirely sure they read this anymore.

The problem you're talking about has been happening quite often, I'm not sure if they know about it or not but I'll try to pass this along to the folks at the website.

Cheers

Not really a mistake as such. But it might not be 100% necessary to point out that (some one) the riders on the Belgian National Team - for Belgium Tour - are indeed Belgian...

 

[Beech Mtn]

Stage results pages don't have the year in the URL, so the comments include new ones for today's stage plus a bunch of old ones from last year.

Tour de L'avenir Stage 1 results - you've listed the AUSTRALIANS as AUSTRIAN.

Tacky guys.

I realise it's a bit late to point it out, but on the front page you've written that GP de Plouay is on Tuesday (29th) rather than today (27th).

That address has apparently not been in use for several years. I just use the usual address on my iPhone and get the mobile version of the site.

While Raimondas Rumsas is under investigation, so are another 5 people. Headline is misleading.

How is it misleading when it's the truth?

It implies that Raimondas is soley involved. A lot more to it than that.

Let's hear your headline, that would include everything that you thought it should say.

Personally I think you're nitpicking. Headlines are always written as attention grabbers, with the rest of the facts buried in the story. The headline in this case was truthful, and attention grabbing. Both of which make for a perfect headline. I don't think the author could have written any better of a headline considering what they had to work with. imo

I would've thought the team doctor and the Italian hospital are most at fault.

You want me to write headlines for CN? I will have to charge.

Job's already taken, by the author that wrote this headline...

Thanks Susan. Looks like the redirect was still working until a few days back and it has expired. I have now updated the bookmark from m to www and all works fine.

Isn't it technically wrong to refer to McNulty as "the defending champion"? Surely it's Mathis who was the defending champion...

Couple slight errors here.

Fifth in Dwars. Stage win in Tour of Norway was in 2016.

My post counter seems to be stuck on the same number forever. I refreshed the page but it made no difference...........oddly it counted this post but not the previous many............

Every single freaking time I enter a new page on the old cyclingnews.com (autobus.cyclingnews.com) I get a pop-up from Immediate Media who Values My Privacy, which I have to accept to see the page. Could you please, please make that go away as I have to visit that website a lot of times in the near future?
