2022 Is Here- What do you want to see on LetsRun this year?

I agree with those asking for a table of contents page. I recall that the old Runners world forum had a "general discussion" section where all the bickering, comedy and idiocy lived. Then if you scrolled down you could quickly find quality running related threads all categorized together for your choosing. Including upcoming Marathon threads categorized by city etc. They were listed by popularity. This board asks for the category when you start a thread but appears to do nothing with it.

I also wish I could swing by and read the LRC boards without feeling you are in the comment sections of Infowars, Breitbart or OAN.

Actually from 2016; everything was a long time ago, I suppose.

An edti button; sorry, edit button.

It'd be interesting to get these posters' backstories.

What is the 2600 call?

And I'm amazed how many people say they want to hear from sub elites. I'm not sure w a lot people really do but maybe the competitive non elite can relate to them more?

At the onset, he proclaimed that there would only be 2600 deaths from Covid. And if he was wrong, he'd never post again.

Regarding hearing from non-elites... you need to realize you have created a community here, and people are curious of who they are interacting with.

Athlete interviews. I don’t even read your blog posts. Just here for the message board.

I enjoy the prediction competitions.

Not too many changes to the message board.

Coverage of Diamond League.

Coverage of World Athletics Continental Tour (the second league of the Diamond League). This was launched in 2020 and there hasn't been much coverage.

Smaller prediction competitions based on the Diamond League with smaller prizes but more of them. As in prizes under $1000. A league table showing the top 50 people. Could be just prediction of the track events, not field.

I agree. I am just here for the message board. I visit the front page maybe once a month.

Isn't that interesting, that our Ivy League "educated" Brojos have no idea what people want?

Wejo/Rojo why do you tolerate Rojo Bot? It's stupid. He's got mental issues.

But this requires actual, real work.

Rojo would much rather just parrot something he saw on Fox News with the vague, BS disclaimer connecting it to running that, "I talk about stuff like this while I run!!"

I'm sorry that you hate free speech

Less left-wing woke agenda ideology. This is the Number one reason I don't come here anymore, so much cancel culture, censorship and liberal bias.

a 'like' or 'upvote' function for posts

fewer anti-vax posts

A guideline that requires clear indicators as to when a comment is ironic or satire.

A guideline that calls for civil discourse, eg: no labels or derogatory nicknames.

A glossary of words and phrases to avoid--suggested alternatives.

Just to chime in, we'll soon be launching a good overhaul to the forum software.

Including upvote/downvote button, running only filter for the threads, category-specific filters for the forum indices, a more robust reporting system that includes forum rules, public forum moderation statistics, a menu for logged in users to access recently visited threads & replies, a block button for annoying users, a better post editor (scroll the thread while writing, basic richtext), fixed nested blockquotes that are easier to read, long blockquotes getting truncated but can be expanded, posts get ranked in threads, deleted posts show a placeholder, improved forum thread and index pagination, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.

I hope you replace that ugly old logo as well.

Yes, the entire message board will be in the same layout as the rest of the site.

also, improved link embeds that don’t rely on an outside service.

Lots of good stuff in there! Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you, Erik LRC web guy!

Yes indeed, thanks, those changes sound great!
