This is a thread to talk about the site. Improvements you want to see, threads you want to see sunk, etc. People with mod privileges should read the comments here to make sure everything is working ok.

i agree with bschultz
a link to sheldon brown perhaps?

links would be great. I like how on lafixed they have the sections labeled with the "who's online, links, options, etc." and when you click on them they come down, making them not as in your face but there when needed. I like the thought of a discussion filter, have participated, and your discussions on there, and a whispered discussions and whispered comments. so you don't have to weed through pages to find something or not knowing someone whispered to you cause you didn't check a thread, cause I know that's happened to me a couple times cause I didn't check each one for god who knows what reason.

a staistics one would be fun. Be able to see who the top posters are and top discussion starters. Not to mention see how many catagories, discussions, comments in total, comments made in the past 24 hours, newest user. most active user by login counts, more of a tracking system. but fun nonetheless.

i know I'm taking a lot from lafixed, but it's more to help out with structural/organizational things for the site.

As far as links go my two cents on what should be included is.

What do you think about the stickies... too much, too little?

jvandub:

Too many stickes

completely agree. starting to get to be a little too much.

alex:

Unstickied a bunch.. the top threads should still stay toward the top anyway because everyone is posting in them.

awesome, sounds good. thanks, alex.

Jennx:

i think the for sale one should stay stickied. leave the WTB and trade one un-stickied. but the forsale is always nice.

yup, agreed.

good idea for sure. I got fgg should've remembered velospace although it was 5 am.

oh alex also as I was typing all that last night also I got timed out which sucked having to sign in and retype it. is there anyway to change the timeout signout for longer. cause that's the third time it's happened to me where I'm typing a long comment/whisper and have to redo it, or don't cause I'm just too tired, since generally I'm typing it super late at night.

we're always getting new people, so it's kind of nice, and they're more prone to "introduce themselves" if it's stickied instead of it getting lost in other pages and generally people won't go past the first or second page of things.

oh god it's more than funny it's gut wrenching at times. like I said I was super out of it haha. bike snob = A+++++++++
super good call

freebird:

It would be rad if people used the wonderful world of whispers. Like in the for sale thread. I love you guys, but I don't want to wade thru half a page of chat to look at stuff I can't afford.

I feel like a jerk for bringing it up.

no it's a legit request. and if you sell whatever you sold just edit your original post as indicating this.

Yeah, totally. It seems like half of the discussions here end up with the same few people talking about what they did last night, or what they're gonna do tonight, or tomorrow.

It bores us.

and kind of makes me feel like a stalker while a wade through to find the good stuff.

I'd still really like the For Sale thread stickied.

only three have the hill bombs because cause that was honestly going no where, the new mod one because that's over and done, and stopping what was about to be started and was asked to be by people, and the bored one cause people asked.

Should this thread get sunk?
