I had this platform added to TwoSpoke and in just a few weeks have seen big improvements in activity.

However a couple people have submitted complaints about the complexity of things.

So please take a second and suggest ways you feel we could make things easier or in general things you find hard to use.

Could be in the forum, cycle registry, classifieds, gallery, anywhere on the site.

Not sure how or why but searches for topics seem to be hard to do. If I am looking for something I pretty much have to remember where it was posted to find it. In other words I can't seem to find a "global" search of the forums but a search of each topic has to be done to find. Could be I'm just missing something and in that case if you can just point me in the right direction ...I don't mind the changes!

 

[TxCyclist]

In terms of search, are you talking threads just in general or specifically threads you have posted/replied to?

 

[rola643]

Threads in general. I have a hard time finding things.

One Touch is all I need.

Here are things I miss (or I've somehow missed how to do it with the new forum style):
1. It was nice to have a link to each member's bikes registry on each post.
2. I miss the part of the sidebar that showed recent activity -- so you'd notice if people posted new bikes, etc.
3. I can't seem to find how to "mark forums read" any more.
4. One other nit: I'm not really crazy about seeing things on the home page, then clicking through to find it's a 2 year old stale thread. I can understand that perhaps the intent is to revive old content, but I'm still not crazy about it.

Just my 2 cents!

Oh, one more: I miss (or I can't find) the Unanswered Threads link.
EDIT: except in Dean's signature!

One complaint was you could not find your cycles in the registry, so I had a block added that shows you all your entries.

I will get the Unanswered link added back.

Registry links in the forum might be a little tough but let me work at it.

Although I'm quite pleased with it's present form, I appreciate all your efforts to improve the site. Just a head's up in case you didn't know, the Registry Entries link under member's avatars is not working yet. At least not for me in Safari, Mac OS X 10.6.8.

 

[TxCyclist]

Yep almost done with it, just a couple more hours and it should be bug free.

It would be nice if I could add an avatar. I've tried everything. I am ready to forget this site for awhile until it works. JF is much easier. I've had no problems doing anything there.

 

[TxCyclist]

What error you getting?

It's the exact same system as JeepForum.

The Cycle dropdown will be readded in the morning, had it working almost but have a couple of bugs to figure out.

 

[TxCyclist]

Drop down is back working again.

Ya know, I click on a link, I read a thread, I click reply and reply to the thread.... it seems to be working to me. All of the 'extra' stuff.... well, at what point is whining just whining? "I'm leaving if I can't have an avatar!" You have 2 posts. Many forums don't let you have an avatar until you've posted 10 times or more.

 

[TxCyclist]

Well if one is used to vBulletin, having the Control Panel link in a different place can be confusing. I understand his point. Just want to make sure that he can access avatars.

If you look at the very top of the Twospoke page in the thin black strip you will see: Today's Post - New Posts- My Replies- My Threads and My Account. I think you might find what you need there

Consider a mobile solution to the forum. You would be surprised how many people are doing forums at a mobile-only method. I use Tapatalk on all of my forums. Its free for the forum owner to add it (there is a method for vBulletin, too) but its costs a few bucks for the user which most people have it anyways.

You mean like the one I've been using on my Android phone for months?
TwoSpoke has its own app - no Tapatalk (which I use for RBR but HATE due to lack of features)

There has been a mobile version for quite some time now.
