[Mr.Bishop]

Ok, I've been reading through the Support forum, and there's plenty of things that you guys have comments on. It would be really helpful if everyone could take a few minutes, and just rant your brains out about everything that bugs you, is wrong, or whatever else you might need to get off your chest.

It will be really helpful for the developers, as you guys will be more familiar with what is wrong. Also, don't be afraid to make suggestions for what you want to see added - we can't make any promises but sometimes as things are being fixed a little tweak here and there isn't too much extra work.

Don't hesitate to just completely go off either... best to get it all out on the table!

What a descriptive, helpful, and detailed post that is! You could have just said "INTERNET."

-vimeo embedding
-paid accounts
-the abillity to turn avatars off from the control panel (like, disable loading of avatars if you're at work so its less conspicuous)
-bacon smiley
-barf smiley
-I'd like MOD powers

I'm telling you, the forum archives work great as a quick and dirty mobile forum. http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/archive/index.php/

Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? Or more full featured mobile site?

i would like the first bit of text displayed when you hover over a link to a thread.

oh...& maybe an interface that looks like PS cs3 for when i am at work.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I think this site should ban more users.

Me for instance...

 

[Drunken_Ninja]

I would like a forum that is just for the deleted threads...the ones that get deleted always seem to be the most awesome.

 

[sanjuro]

I like to see the Tech Talk and the Mechanic's Q & A forums folded into one forum. We don't get a lot of posts, so having only one forum will be easier for Questioners and Answerers.

 

[DaveW]

What happened to the topic reply notifications?????????

oh and I agree for once with SkaredShtles..... That waste of DNA should have been banned long ago.

We've had multi quote for a while now. It's the button right next to the quote button.

bingo. as i said in my whinge thread modernvespa.com is a great example (go there on an iPhone and view it in portrait and the two rotated/landscape orientations!)

Is it possible to get the search results to show more than 100 threads? I like to click the 'New Posts' link to see what I missed and there are usually more than 100 updated threads over the course of 24 hours. Or if searching for old posts, there can easily be more than 100 matching threads, but it is easy to skim through ones that obviously don't apply.

Quick question - do you guys have any problems with the profile photo galleries? We're upgrading the database and noticing a few errors in there. Not sure if thats been persistant for a while, or if its just a compatability problem with the newer version of VBulletin we're trying to install...

Let me know if your photo galleries seem to be working well, or if you've had a few bugs!

Oh, and please keep the suggestions coming. We're not going to be able to accomplish all of it, but there is certainly stuff in here we're working to address!

 

[Drunken_Ninja]

I havent been able to upload images to my photo gallery something seems like it doesnt work. Other people seem to have no problem with it

 

[lamp]

I dont think the 'search this category' dropdown in the classifieds works correctly

typing '888' while in the forks category returns complete bikes.

test of quick reply: was giving me some authentication token error garbage earlier

nope, is working

Having a 'new post' link on the main page would be nice.

 

[Mr.Bishop]

You mean a list of new posts, or a link to post a new thread?

 

[Westy]

Same 'new posts' link that apears on any of the forum pages. Provides a list of the recently updated posts.

Yep no prob... I think we've already got that in there its just titled "today's posts" - when you see it if its the wrong thing we can change it up.

We're about an hour away from starting the first round of launches. Remember this will be Beta, so expect a few bugs after we do it. Should fix a lot of issues you guys have been experiencing though.

I really wanted to make some joke where I mixed the word Beta and Beer. "Beereta" was the best I came up with, and it sounds stupid. So I left it alone.

Drunken Ninja is still able to post, you'll want to check that out.

edit: I cannot access the Gallery, I get "you do not have permission to access this page..." message.


Hey Mr. Bishop: do you ride, or is your involvement in this site strictly business?

Well I used to ride a lot when I was a bit younger. Did mostly XC and a bit of urban and technical built up trail type stuff. However, I got out of it a bit over the last 5-6 years or so - got really into the ski industry. I more bike for transportation now, but really want to get back into it.

So in short, I guess I came for business, but its a damn good excuse to get back into biking.

I used to have all the north shore extreme videos and watch them constantly... love trials type riding like Ryan Leech as well.

Stuff like this blows me away:

I have serious issues with the screen jumping as the page is loading the rep. it keeps giving the google story about people reaching the golden banana. It is totally annoying. If you dont believe me I can take video of the first 30 seconds of the page loading.

Actually could you do that? It would be very helpful for us to diagnose the behaviour.

 

[Mr.Bishop]

I'm glad someone finally commented. That was the big first step we wanted to fix. Hell I was getting 5-15 second page loads in the forums before... totally intolerable.

Everything else came secondary to the slow page loads.

Your computer is broke.

This is what version I have with no problems:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Avast (I dumped AVG free. It was too much of a hog.)

It might be your cookie thing.

Didn't have a problem before the update.

I *think* we just solved this one. Force refresh (shift refresh) and see if its corrected.

Hmmmm..... weird. Again - we'll check into it. Slowly but surely we're getting them. I'm afraid we might not get this done until next week as we've got a few other things on the list right now. But we'll figure it out. We made a round of browser compatability updates today so double check if that fixed it.

Ok when I click on the link in the new reply email, it takes me to the first post of the thread not the first unread post?

Yeah this and the video at the top I think are related. There's some screwy stuff with the way the site is navigating to later posts. Again - give us some time we've got a few things on the plate.

Plenty more to come - next week will be a lot of bigtime bug fixes! In the meantime... why don't you try out the live broadcast page and give it a go!
