what the hell does that mean please?

Do you lot keep banging into things

it puts the post to the top of the pile, aka nudge, gettit?

aha – the penny drops .
I personally much preferred the old style forum – I’m a luddite

me too actually, far too much like bikeradar for my liking!

I thought people bumped on the old forum as well.

nope, didn’t work then, they just re-posted!

bumping worked in the old forum for last post view, not thread view.

wot stoner said

Is threaded view available in the new forum?

It seems to me that forums in general are nowhere as easy to read as usenet groups which are better for the following reasons:-

Threads with unread posts are easily identified
It’s easy to ignore or watch threads
Individuals can be killfiled
Threaded view rocks
Filters can be created from messages to customise the experience
Can be read from a web browser via Google Groups
etc etc etc

Disadvantages:-
Binary posts not usually acceptable which means pictures don’t appear in-line but have to be linked.

So why not start a uk.rec.singletrack group and all move there?

bugger 😯
