What Do You Want to See on LetsRun.com?

Cutting and pasting a photo directly into a post would be nice but I'm sure it would get abused by ass hats who didn't get enough attention from their parents.

Edit post feature would eliminate the grammarians whom you mentioned you don't like anyway.

Required registration to post. Too many people are addicted to THIS site. Someone could get sued over some of the stuff that gets thrown around on here.

They won't go away, the trolls are way too hooked. Look what happened when the site shut down for a day, people went apeshit. Also the good runners, coaches, etc., might come back, plus it would improve the signal to noise ratio.

Less stories about drug use; more stories about running.

why does the message board look like a bumble bee? Is there any rationale behind that?

Two message boards. One that is strictly running only content. The other with non-running stuff.

Maybe a third entitled "useless stupid garbage". ;-)

Overall very happy.

How about deleting all non athletics postings? Alternbatively restrucutre the message board into 3 areas: athletics, other sports, other topics.

Also stress every so often need to keep language accepatable to all.

Keep up good work.

Only if that high school freshman were being taught poor web design. Letsrun is probably the worst HTML I have ever seen.

"body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0"

marginwidth="0""

"table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" width="100%" height="146" align="center""

Res ipsa loquitur.

I would like to see a message board for registered users that would be serious topics and posts only. Keep the worls famous board alive, but give us looking for serious posts and feedback our own space.

sections.

Shoes

Training

Marathon

Diet

Etc.

Crap like that just slows down the board and makes it more likely to crash when there is a lot of traffic.

Also, people attaching images into messages is a nightmare. Just link to a free image hosting site from within the message.

Keep the complexity and data traffic on someone else's servers.

And don't you people understand how much more work it is to mod a board when you have categories and all that other crap? What's to stop the trolls from going to the "serious" board and posting useless crap? Nothing. It's just more work for the mods. More work for the mods means more expenses, which means more ads. Do we really want more ads?

Some of you are like the people that want "free" healthcare. If you want improvements to the site, think about how much they would benefit the site, and how much they would cost to implement? Think beyond your noses with the changes you are proposing.

The message board is the reason this website is so popular. Don't change it except to improve performance...less crashing, better search.

usetorun says "res ipsa loquitur."

I say "caveat emptor."

The stripped-down, no-frills look of LR is working fine.

For a non-latinate quotation, try "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

You sound like a huge douche. This a thread to generate ideas and make suggestions, that's what we're all doing.

Wejo --

In addition to my thread preview I'll add a webhost / message board that can handle the sites traffic.

How about a Finance / 401k section?

re. T-shirts and registration

Posters who register or stick to their handle for all posts can buy the official LR t-shirt WITH their handle written on it.

Is this a good idea or what? (Send me a check, You know how to find me...)

re. changes

i suggest not to change the message board. It works just fine.

Only thing: a search-handle-function total posts handle search, i.e. anything and everything ever written by the particular handle on LR.

How about professional editing re: the homepage?

Errors on the forum should be ignored. As an example, a lot of the errors are made by thinking "their" and then typing "there" or some similiar typing error. A lot of us don't proof our posts. Maybe we should.

A sign up sheet (web page) for contributors, who plan to be at meets, and can email highlight pictures for the LR home page.

Wejo, if not mentioned previously a TV Guide type area on the front page (or link from), so we can check what running events will be appearing on TV. If this is do-able.

Thanks.
