MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Tonight I'm back to 6+ floating adverts over everything, and then when you've maybe closed them down, the posting box just covers everything including the post button, and don't get me started on it not handling Flickr pictures.
I'm giving up.
And as if by magic I now have a bell in a circle that does absolutely nothing hovering among the most intrusive pop ups you could possibly imagine.
This is without doubt the worst forum I've ever experienced. It's a complete joke.
And the owners just don't care.
No doubt the usual two or three smug full member posters will be along at some point to tell me it's my fault
The answer to your floating bell issue is about 3 or 4 posts up on this thread.
After all this time I'm currently seeing posting/editing delays (although not as long as previously). I guess that that was never fully resolved.
Oops... wrong thread!
Looks like the Classifieds (and some other pages, including Contact Us) are borked. Just in case you don't know already.
Haven’t been on here for a while 🧐, will have to drop by more regularly!

Once a year, often a day early. Regular but not frequent
When I’m listening to the bbc radio app, the sound cuts off as soon as I venture on to singletrackworld.
How do I get rid of the "you are not allowed to attach files on this forum" message that sits on the reply bo? It's really annoying, I've definitely reached a good number of posts and am not part of a user group. Sorry if this has been done.
Unable to post on the FGF comments, is it just me?
Sorted, thank you Christmas Pixie!
Site becoming unusable again. I couldn’t navigate the Mounjaro thread at all this morning despite refreshing the page etc. it really makes following a long thread completely tedious.
This nonsense in the Christmas travel thread now..
Followed by this nonsense after adding the above pic…
And then look at the horrendous mess the abominable formatting has made of the above post once I tried to add a second pic.
Is it my imagination or is it back to being really slow?
For a long time is was unusably slow, then for a while it was in danger of being almost OK.
But now it's once again slow.
It's the main reason I stay away from the forum - it feels like the site just doesn't value my time.
My subscription is up for renewal and I’m seriously considering not renewing. I’ll not be able to put up with the ads either I don’t think so I’ll be looking elsewhere for bike banter.
@oceanskipper are your photos screenshots, from what device and browser? I am not seeing any ‘nonsense’ from adding an extra photo so it’s a bit difficult to tell what you mean.
@drac they are screenshots from my iPhone and ironically (or not ) the formatting of my post went all jumbled when I tried to add a pic so the post text and pictures do not correspond. I couldn’t be bothered to try and correct it. Suffice to say someone has posted a YouTube vid in the travel thread and it has overlayed a massive “play” triangle in some kind of wide screen format and shrunk all the text to a narrow left margin. I added a screen shot and then couldn’t see the rest of my post to edit it so I screenshotted that as well and added it. The end result is what got posted and is not how I set it out. I had text, pic, more text, second pic which is clearly not how it ended up!
Can't post from iPhone / Safari today, I completed as long post in:"bike" but there was no "post" button
iPhone looks like this - the "compose" window seems to have popped out.
Clicking "done" does nothing
@oceanskipper Cheers for the update. I’ll take a look tomorrow on my iPhone as out now.
Morning, I’ve taken a look but still can’t say the format issues you describe. I may be missing something in your screenshots too though.
@mudfish the done option is local based on your phone. It is an issue I’ve had elsewhere, just a weird thing that seems to happen.
Thanks for looking. It’s still goosed though. There’s a video embedded in a post and it makes the screen format massive. I pinched to zoom it and then it freezes like below.
Morning, had another look this am. It would appear something in Kimbers’ post has broken the format, which is more visible on the iPhone. I some how skipped over it yesterday. I’ll see if I can edit his post and find the problem.
Bit of an update this wet saturday.
I've been looking into the ads and I've made some changes.
If you are logged in (free member) then your first 4 pages should be ad free. Then the ads appear.
They will remain for the next 12 page views.
After that the ads will not reyurn for 6 hours.
So did you quietly turn all those ads settings back off?
Coz none of that works as you've described anymore. And it's constant ad bukake on every page from start to finish.
Many users have told you how awful your forum is to use. And you clearly just don't care. The irony here is that it's always been the user content people come here to read. But nowadays it's such a terrible experience you seem to have about a tenth of the posts and replies per day you used to back when the old forum was busy and what you do have is mainly just boring content from the usual full members.
Talking of full members. Cougar, Drac and a few other full member's repeated condescending replies and poor attitudes really aren't helping you.
Ok @oceanskipper it seems to the video size on Kimbers’ post aren’t resizing to a smaller image for smaller screens. I’ll mention it the team on Monday.
And a Happy New Year to you @gaah
Hi. Would love to update some classifieds ads but this is all I can see:
Back to dark mode this morning. Anyone else seeing this?
