New Improved LetsRun.com: Share Your Feedback

Please, please, PLEASE STOP with the auto-play video. I don't mind if an ad plays, but I'm sick of the same video automatically loading and sucking up bandwidth every time I open a thread.

Let the ad play, then let the video come up as an OPTION, not an AUTOPLAY.

I think it makes their site appear more profitable to advertisers since they can then show them how many views videos are getting on the site. and please, change the yellow to a grey or other muted color.

I agree with the poster who said make the boards like Reddit so we can upvote or like posts and move them to the top.

Also, make it easier to search the boards and please let us sort by date and search by user. It'd be cool to see what I've posted over the years.

Lastly, I'm in favor of registration because 1) it'll decrease the BS on here, 2) hopefully make some people a bit less overt with their racism, and 3) allow us to track or be notified when a post we've contributed to has gotten a response.

Overall, I like the new homepage look. I don't have a problem with the colors as that's one of the things that makes LRC unique. I do think the columns on the homepage should be set so that we know where to find things. Or, have text links at the top that lead to anchors down in the columns below for sections like elite news, NCAA news, T&F, road running, etc.

Thank you for finally progressing (somewhat)!

Ditto. The font is hard to read.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow us to embed pictures, gifs, movies and sound files on the message board!!!!! LOL!!!

Works great for the mobile user. I like it. Easy to get through stuff and sleek

What happened to all the links that used to be at the bottom? It's good to see that Scott Anderson's journals are still there but what happened to Why I Sucked in College?

I don't care either way about the formatting. If you want to fix this place up stopping the racist comments would go a long way.

I agree about the font. Times New Roman or some variety of Helvetica would be much easier on the eyes.

THIS is responsive. Try it out: notice how it re-sizes (ignore the rainbow thing)

Why do the boards still look like they're straight out of 1998?

does double quotation work yet?

With that said the homepage looks a lot nicer.

Safe web fonts for cross-platform, according to MIT.

We opted to serve different layouts depending on device size. So the site is responsive in that it always serves appropriate layouts for phones, tablets, desktop. For a while we had it so you can drag your browser window around and see the layout change like in the link you provided, But we found that confused ordinary people and only pleased the developer types who dream of viewport a and media queries at night. You can however see that type of behavior on iPads,for example.

But consistent layouts after load, we thought, we're most functional.

Since it appears that the main page is categorized it would be really helpful if you had a tab that was the "most popular" and included the most popular articles from the other categories. It would be really helpful as a one stop click to what is trending in running from HS-Elites.

Cool, looks like it is working. I tested on

Windows 8.1 desktop with IE11 and Chrome

Windows 7 desktop with IE10

Windows 8 phone

iPhone5

iPad2

I tested Windows 7 and IE9 and that does NOT work. The LetsRun page flickers as if it works and then blanks out. When I look at the HTML it is just a couple empty div tags with id "google_temp_div_HomePage300" and "google_temp_div_HomePage728".

I wouldn't bother with fixing it for IE9. IE10 and later works.

IE8 on XP does not work. Chrome does, Safari does.

I read recently that IE 8 leads desktop browser share, with 24%. Next is IE9 with 19%. Give Bill Gates some love, and get it working for the 43% of the world that uses these archaic browsers.
