I use “What’s new” primarily to navigate the site. That gives me “Latest posts” which is what I’m looking for and also “Latest profile posts” which seem a bit of a waste of space to me, certainly I never look at them.
Yep - an oversight. I can modify that page to host anything - no one really uses profile posts.
Oh - just one thing. Are you able to pin the forum competition threads?
Done.
If there are more, please let me know.
Maybe having more of a presence on social media engaging in a few topics, mind you, there are some wrong uns on there.
I loath Social Media, but for SEO reasons, it's a must. I think some of those accounts might be Colin's - I would need to check. One thing is that Talking Horses hosts gambling information, and that is a nightmare to deal with in the Facebook, X realm. If I use it, it would be primarily for posting Posts of the Week etc.
Bryan I understand that it is a bit of a niche subject but perhaps a topic on Point to Point racing and Hunterchase's a passion of mine may be of interest to some on here ?
There may be a Forum section for this - I would need to check.
The only suggestion I can think of is to split the Forum threads into Flat threads, Jumps threads, Other threads. I don't know if that has been done, I am not sure how to find them if it has?
This has been done - but you can't see it. LOL
This forum is pretty massive - it's a beast. When I first took this project on, I along side a few veteran members here, populated the forum with a number of forum sections that are now hidden, since they are empty. What I need to do is to start populating a number of these sections with threads from elsewhere - it's just time consuming. I am hoping in the next several weeks to do a bunch of this.
It will make this forum appear massive - but the key to all of this is making sure it is easy to navigate.
That's a very fair point, actually.
I appreciate Bryan wants to grow the forum, but I'd be equally happy to take the opposite John Cleese/Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers route and put a big sign saying: "No Riff Raff" on the door here.
I believe something of this sort is in new sign-up's welcome message.
I'd still like General Racing topics link at the top of the page above newest posts. But not too bothered if anyone else isnt.
Should be doable as a widget. I'd have to check.
Id be happy if the FAQ explained how to delete direct messages.
Ah - that is a tricky one that needs to be explained. When you send a direct message to someone, you are actually creating a conversation. You don't really delete it, but you "leave" it.
Click that and you will be prompted with this:
So when you "leave" a message, it's removed from your inbox. It remains in the other person's inbox until he/she leaves as well. The dialogue box allows you to receive a response in the future if you want.
Thanks folks, keep them coming.
I personally find it works for me
not that am one of those people you understand
as well as I invariably would just like to react in said format!
