Freebird Posted November 17, 2014 #1 Posted November 17, 2014 In my opinion, the new site is pretty much done. NOW is the time to tell me what is missing and what you would like to see added, if possible. I know that it is a little different but I hope that you are all starting to get used to it now. It works pretty much the same as before with just a few little differences. I think that it was a good upgrade and either way, it just had to be done for technical reasons. So what is missing that you truly miss? I know that our flags are gone but I don't plan to include them again. They are fun and I miss them too but to be honest, they serve no real purpose and adding them entails a lot of manual editing of templates that has to be done overtime there is a upgrade to the software. I just don't think it's worth it but if it's something that enough of you feel strongly about, I'll reconsider. So what else? I'm finally pretty much caught up so now is the time to let me know.
rbig1 Posted November 17, 2014 #2 Posted November 17, 2014 links to ebay and other sites with out being able to post and clutter it
Freebird Posted November 17, 2014 Author #3 Posted November 17, 2014 Not sure exactly what you mean. We already have the area "links to classifieds, craigslist and eBay. Links to classifieds are automatically generated when you post an ad in the classifieds. Links to craigslist and eBay are usually just posted there. What are you asking for? There are also automatic Ebay links to Venture related products on the home (articles) page.
XV1100SE Posted November 17, 2014 #4 Posted November 17, 2014 New member posts - include State/Province. Makes it easier to welcome new members if he subject line includes where they are from.
Prairiehammer Posted November 17, 2014 #5 Posted November 17, 2014 I find it difficult to navigate the 'Community' (list of members). The only sortable column is the member username. If I recall correctly, the old community list was sortable by state?
Marcarl Posted November 17, 2014 #6 Posted November 17, 2014 Not all locations show state or province. And cognac, for a color,, can't be that hard can it?
Evan Posted November 17, 2014 #7 Posted November 17, 2014 Not all locations show state or province. And cognac' date=' for a color,, can't be that hard can it?[/quote'] Ditto Re Marcarl's re "state or province" comment.
eagleeye Posted November 17, 2014 #8 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) The default must link the city (in our profile) Can state or province be linked to the city or in our profile, can they both be one line? I added my state to the city line, but that's not really the answer. Other than that, I really like the new site! Edited November 17, 2014 by eagleeye added line
bongobobny Posted November 17, 2014 #9 Posted November 17, 2014 +1 for state/providence! Also, can hyperlinks text be in blue again?
Eck Posted November 17, 2014 #10 Posted November 17, 2014 For a start, we need about 10,000 more members............
eagleeye Posted November 17, 2014 #11 Posted November 17, 2014 In my profile, I noticed that the pictures of my bikes are not there. Is that function still here, and is gallery different, and what is an album, Yeah I know. lots of questions.
SilvrT Posted November 17, 2014 #12 Posted November 17, 2014 We used to have some of the menu choices found at the top of the screen also at the bottom. For example, New Posts.
Guest divey Posted November 17, 2014 #13 Posted November 17, 2014 I find it difficult to navigate the 'Community' (list of members). The only sortable column is the member username. If I recall correctly, the old community list was sortable by state? Ditto this. Also, the Province/State in Location issue. Other than that, the new Site is excellent. Doug
WildBill1 Posted November 17, 2014 #14 Posted November 17, 2014 Great work, "Boss", I've embraced the site change.
saddlebum Posted November 17, 2014 #15 Posted November 17, 2014 Another vote for State/Province in location. Also forget the Congac.......I don't think we should be allowed to trink and dext. :rotfl:
crowrod Posted November 17, 2014 #16 Posted November 17, 2014 Don can you put Cycle World new products & reviews back in?
Bert2006 Posted November 17, 2014 #17 Posted November 17, 2014 Used to be able to create a list of our favorite emoticons. Is it possible to have that again? Also, is it now possible to have the map location function we had for a time up to last year. The one where we could place a pin on the map? Great job on the site though!
rbig1 Posted November 17, 2014 #18 Posted November 17, 2014 well I don't see the link like used to be on here that took ya to the actual ebay page for venture parts all of them half of the ones on this site go no where page missing now have to open another window to go there
Freebird Posted November 17, 2014 Author #19 Posted November 17, 2014 Album is the same as it was before. There are two places to put your pictures. Photoplog and Album. All the old pictures are gone though.
Freebird Posted November 17, 2014 Author #20 Posted November 17, 2014 well I don't see the link like used to be on here that took ya to the actual ebay page for venture parts all of them half of the ones on this site go no where page missing now have to open another window to go there I'm not sure what you mean. Which links are you talking about that go nowhere? The ones on the home page seem to work. Please give me an example. If you are talking about the ones in the "Links to Classifieds, Craigslist and Ebay" then I can understand that. People post those links and when the times expire, they are still there until that forum is pruned. That is why I want them only there and not n the watering hole and etc.
Freebird Posted November 17, 2014 Author #21 Posted November 17, 2014 Don can you put Cycle World new products & reviews back in? I don't think we ever had Cycle World. We had Webbike World. I just added that back to the home page on the bottom right where it was before.
Freebird Posted November 18, 2014 Author #22 Posted November 18, 2014 We used to have some of the menu choices found at the top of the screen also at the bottom. For example, New Posts. Added menu bar to bottom of the pages at the end of the last post on a page, just below the quick reply box. Does that take care of this request?
SilvrT Posted November 18, 2014 #23 Posted November 18, 2014 Added menu bar to bottom of the pages at the end of the last post on a page, just below the quick reply box. Does that take care of this request? Yessireee bob ... errrr, I mean Don!
Freebird Posted November 18, 2014 Author #24 Posted November 18, 2014 I think that I have addressed most of these issues. I've added the Navbar to the bottom, I've added new users locations to the welcome threads (no longer links to their profile though, maybe I can add that back later), I changed the profile bits of a users location to the city/state or province but it depends upon all of you to go and edit your profiles to include that information. Added the Webbike World newsfeed back to the home page. Haven't changed the color of links yet but will look at that next...or sometime soon. Sortable memberlist fields is not done yet. Will try to figure something out.
SilvrT Posted November 18, 2014 #25 Posted November 18, 2014 You ROCK Don... seems it turned out to be more work that you might have expected eh? (most of these things generally do)
