Just the three edits this time.
it's an interesting one. I'm certainly feeling it's quieter. Back in the day a Peaks Pootle mention would elicit a lot of conversation. Likewise Cut Gate. Both formerly busy posts now disappear without a blip on the radar.
It does feel like the atmosphere has changed a lot. Maybe it's me that's changed.
I used to help moderate a forum, and it's a thankless task. As a whole, the folk tend to behave on here, but where I moderated there was a sub-culture of abuse that was quickly picked up on before many of the users saw it (some terrible stuff went on)
People moan about moderation, but seeing what goes on behind closed doors, you soon realise just how nasty some folk are. Mods took alot of abuse as we couldn't just ban someone - ideally many would have been banned. I gave up on the forum for quite some time but it's changed massively, and is pretty quiet now as certain 'parts' of the forum were removed by the 'owner' as it was detracting from cycling (and lead to most of the nastyness and fairly serious abuse).
Forum traffic goes up and down.

That cuts both ways. I've seen some pretty poor behaviour from moderators towards long standing forum members.
It's not just that things are changing, features getting lost and not getting replaced, things are breaking randomly too. So weird. I bet nobody knows why.
Anyone tried posting (embedding) a video since the weekend?
Numbers down?
i blame the lack of poop gags.
and if the numbers* continue to drop, the mods will have us fill out a ten-page questionnaire.
*unless of course, they're number two's:)
If someone can quote this: 💩, then there’s a chance of a very big poo for iPad users
Testing.. 1..2.............

I can't even quote successfully. But apparently I can make a massive poo emoji

Well after a couple of weeks the redirects/virus warnings are back today using this site on the PC.
This is rubbish.
And now on my PC rather than just on my phone.
Never had that before, which is worrying.
I'm going to pop into the office this week and try and take Mark up on his offer.
Let us have Friday Kylie back and everything will be well with the world again!!
You should be so lucky.

No. You're never getting Friday Kylie back. But you can have Misogynist Monday instead. It's a thread wherein you express your admiration for/sexual attraction to members of the opposite sex and in response a secret cabal of PC Priests who frequent the forum will admonish you for being a woman hating Harvey Weinstein-esque serial abuser who probably voted leave in the EU Referendum too.
That’s what will kill this place unless it gets fixed. How many people just can’t be arsed anymore?
Not just the cynical oldies, but new people too.
Yeah, I didn't even read your post 😉
Right, let's try again.
I've mailed markalker@singletrackmag.com.
Anyone know if this is the right address?
It is but he’s not at the office this week. Try Tom@
Ta Drac, will do.
Re: people not starting new threads.
I would have started a thread or two over the last week but I can't figure out how to get pictures to work so haven't bothered! I did leave for a little bit while the updates got sorted but now it's seemingly running ok I've wandered back, that and having a few bits to sell. Will have a go at pictures soon, unless anyone can give a quick walkthrough on how to post form Flickr on a desktop!
If posting was easier with pictures, gifs etc a lot more of the banter would surface.

<div class="bbp-reply-content">the funny new arrangement with post /thread history is a bit of a conversation killer too. You can’t readily see what conversations you’ve been a part of and whether they’ve moved on- I just forget.

Rusty, it's mark@ or if you want to talk to the devs then tech@
@mike I suggested a tricks & tips thread a little while ago and it went down like Gillian Taylfoth in a lay-by, so I never bothered.
On the whole you can generally post pics just by right-clicking the image, copying the URL and then pasting it into the editor. Flickr does seem to be wilfully obtuse though, the simplest way might just be to host the images elsewhere (I use imgur and it's painless).

+3 Some user friendly way of keeping tabs on threads I've posted on is sadly missed by me. The posts made alternative is poor from this users point of view

Does that mean very well or that you are denying it ever happened?

Is it not just one of those things you just do rather than ask?

Flickr was painless for a bit allowing just about any combination of image containing URL, now along with the Video/Instagram features they have all stopped working.
You should be so lucky
Deserves recognition 😀
Have emailed Tom.
I'd post more If I wasn't logged out half the time
Testing.
EDIT. Does seem to be borked now.
I added pics from flickr this morning by just using the BBCode option from flickr. Not sure why its so difficult?

I may have got the wrong end of the stick though as I haven't read this whole thread.
<em class="bbcode-em">Not sure why its so difficult?
The way it worked before now doesn't, it was simpler for a lot of things and worked for other platforms before the last few days.
I wonder sometimes why people get so bothered about the the number of “posts” and “posters” on the forum.
Because I used to find loads of threads on here fascinating, and would contribute to. Most days I now struggle to find anything I'm interested in.

Oh yeah, pics are a lot easier to post than they were before (until that breaks! lOlZ) - plus you can change sizes of the pics, instead of posting huge great jobbies (no, thanks not again) you can edit the properties - unless you're on an iPad whereby the edit dialogue goes a bit random and unusable (although I found last night jabbing my finger in random places on the screen make it available. It's awesome really)

If only there were some other way of viewing pictures of her.

But how would you know other people were looking at the same time, getting a synchronised phwoar is tough

The chances of someone else in the world looking at a picture of Kylie at the same time? Vanishingly unlikely, I'm sure.

true dat!

That statement doesnt really answer the question ...
