How you can help

Woah 😳

*Like*

The subscribe button, is that also new?

So you can like your own posts 😄

Can you see who’s liked your post?

Makes the forum come alive

Sociological experiment incoming

Can you see who’s liked your post?

I tried to like yours so you could test it and it told me I had to be logged in. So guess it’s not quite ready for production 😀

I can not like ….. why could that be ?

Is it for the privileged few only ?

The article says it’s only for paying members for a couple of days, but everyone can share the love soon.

Edit – I see the new desktop text editor is working well 😀  Ah well, maybe one day soon we’ll get a like button and the ability to quote text in our posts.

Now we need a leaderboad of ‘liked’ posts. Daily, weekly annual and all time.

Like Strava but for people who are no longer capable of actual KOM/QOM’s.

Edit. Oh, hang on, that’s sort of covered in the article.

I demand the down-vote function is initiated immediately so I can chastise myself.  Along with all the free members who also didn’t read it properly. 😁

Can someone upvote this on Pinkbike?!

VOLVO FOR SALE

[Redacted] GOES INTO ORBIT

Bollocks to that, I’ve just noticed the “Back to top” button again. When did that put in an appearance?

Tried to like the announcement on the forum and just got a spinning wheel of death.

Inadvertently liked several posts on the way down here because apparently that’s where my thumb normally goes to scroll on my phone.

If you can’t say anything nice… 🙂

You need to enable left-handed mode in your profile.

Does it show GOLD to you members?

Did it break already?

this is nearly as awsum as surfmat!

Does it show GOLD to you members?

Only once I’ve clicked it so I know I’ve clicked it and can un click it if I want to.  Got that?

thats nothing, the paid for classified now say “featured” . which has completely blown my mind.

Thanks. I can only dream of the golden coin of membershipz

We think it looks like a Singletrack gold coin or something. Maybe we will let you ‘spend’ them in the future. Who knows.

That’s not say we won’t at some point enable a down rating

No, no, no, I have a way better idea.  Enable ‘down votes’ but don’t allow willy nilly down voting.  Instead sell down votes in small quantity’s, say £10 for a thousand that any registered member can use as they wish.  You will make an absolute killing in the usual old lengthy threads.

Sorry but this feature really does have to be restricted to those who can handle the power.  It’s not for the riffraff

I still haven’t mastered the art of putting a photo up, so anything else and my tiny brain will explode.

Is that like incognito mode? 😉

Has the upgrade disabled the normal post editor – I’m only getting fancy one now. And it doesn’t work, and I don’t like it! 😭🤣

I’m used to typing in code!

Look on the bright side, probably not enough explosive to even blow your nose 🤣

First tweak. You now CAN’T like your own posts 🙂

I find it a bit of an odd implementation, I would rather it be on the bottom of the post, or maybe the top right hand side, the number beside the first line is just a bit visually distracting, maybe I will just get used to it, could be my dyslexia creating a small additional thought process to separate the number from the actual post.

“Congratulations … you are the like-al legend of forum segment ‘Rishi! Sunak!'”

Erm, like is liked, but the ‘floating’ arrow pointing upwards has disturbed me no end 😂

r/singletrackworld

I really like the up arrow to jump to the top of the page. I’d love a down arrow to jump to the bottom though. That would be much more useful to me (especially since on iOS you can just tap the clock to jump to the top anyway).

Click the minutes ago on the right of the thread for that

Down votes please. I can never remember the user names of the resident conspiracy theorists and tories, so would good to be able to identify their posts easily.

Yeah yeah, where’s the like button?

I love how it makes all posts look a bit like crossword clues. 2 across, 12 letters “Goes into orbit”
