We've made some improvements to the forums. Discuss here

So far it does seem harder for the sockpuppets to astroturf every thread into oblivion. At least you’re making them work! Congrats.

The white space on the left side of my screen is mostly gone. Looks a lot better. Thank you!

Hell yea for the new search! ;)

I miss the search button. :(

I will certainly enjoy the same person not being able to troll endlessly acting like multiple people.

Big fan of this. Good compromise to the anonymity vs registration debate.

Erik/Brosjo, why did you all eliminate this improvement? It helps prevent threads from devolving like this:

I've been on vacation for over a week so just got home and found that the ADVERTISING is covering nearly a 1/4th of the text when I click on a thread. It is ok on the main board.

The only way I can read the post is hit reply and the quote button.

I am on a home computer using windows.

I'm 100% on mobile. Looks fine. I like being able to jump to the end of a thread immediately.

Thanks Wejo.

A small update on the one user per thread. After internal discussion, we have implemented the following changes to it and reactivated it (we had it temporarily off for a few days):

1. You can post under one unregistered name, per thread, per week. So, in long-running threads, you're not stuck with a single unregistered name for life, but you can't continually change names within a short period of time.

2. If you get an error saying that we think you are posting under a second unregistered username within one week, we will provided you a list of usernames you posted under before, in case you can't remember.

An important caveat to #2: this list of usernames is stored locally on your computer. It is not generated from the server. This is a privacy protection to prevent attempts to deduce any anonymous usernames you've used.

Regarding the forum- I've been trying to change my password. I've emailed two or three times with no response.

How do I change my password!!?????

I keep getting the message "Your post could not be saved" but when I go back to the thread, my post is there.

Is this new this morning or has it been going on? What browser? That would help.

Amen!

Me too

Not sure about that.

New this morning, chrome, Android.

Just speculating, other may be getting too. That might be why there are so many duplicate posts today.

Someone requested earlier to have it forward you to the last post on the page when you visisted, and not just the last page you visited, when you revisit a thread. This is implemented. Enjoy.

1- I'm more interested in seeing administrators of this site limit message board posts to those focused only on running-related topics and not all the other gibberish found here.
2- I'm more interesting in seeing administrators of this site better monitor and eliminate posts containing ad hominem attacks on others as well as profanity.
3- Until then, this is my last time visiting this site.

Adios, muchachos!
Happy 2020

How do I get the Google ads on the right side to quit covering up 1/4th of the text? I click and report but it does no good. I can hit reply and quote the post to read it but if I want to do that for another post, it won't let me unquote the first post. Right now, on my home computer (windows), the message board is unusable.
