tweaked web layout
So much better to have the forum recent topics/ posts on the side bar on most pages. Well done!! It almost feels like the forum (one of the best bits of road.cc- taking nothing away from the jounalism of course) is back.
Any chance of getting same on the main front page? Would be even better still.

Excellent - I think I'll replace my emergency tube that is a real squeeze to get into the little Topeak bottle cage bag thingy.

They are ugly, and presumably require registration to use them. But the argument "it should be car parking instead" is absurd. Surely a camera and...

Much improvment lately but still issues with the photo's thread as no matter what I can't see the new photo's newest first doesn't do it trying to go to page 1 well thats just plain frustraating as you can't get to it. So come on guys lets get it sorted so I can window shop again.
The tweaks have been great. Oldest first, no auto-subscribe, latest comments/posts. I still think the home page isn't quite there yet, but this has been a very good start. In any case it's great to see that the site listens to its commentators, and puts in the extra effort after what must've been a lot of hard work with the platform migration.
Definitely lots of improvements lately, but have to agree about the startpage. For me, the varying widths and heights of the story boxes (or whatever they're called) are chaotic, and as a result I tend to gloss over much of the content without really reading it. Maybe I'm boring, could be the result of professional life spent using spreadsheets and whatnot, but I like things in standardised formats and lists, otherwise I find myself getting frustrated and not sticking around as long.
I for one (though I suspect more) am glad "Oldest first" is back as the default comments setting. I suspect most of us on here are not of the twitter/facebook/latest hashtag/ADHD must be bang up-to-date generation, and are quite capable of following through the narrative of the arguments and opinions. And it saves me a couple of clicks.
And commenting on this hasn't resulted in an automatic subscription to spam emails telling me someone else has made a comment as well !!
Okay in that case .... i think helmets for cyclists are <insert opposing view to your own> - discuss....
no! don't! think of the children (and their delicate little skulls)
Hmm... start a helmet debate and see how long it runs for.

Don't, please just don't.
On the PLUS side comments are OLDEST FIRST ! Hurray!!!!
This place is slowly dying. All the interesting commentators have left. Its actually quite an interesting case study in how not to go about a web refresh. Literally every single step of the process has been a mistake. It makes me feel quite sad.
…you're still here though
i think though it ebbs and flows. At least that's my perception. There's a few that have dropped off in the past through one thing and another then suddenly resurface.
we've just switched them over actually so comments is at the top. more tweaks on the way.
fuller comments if you scroll down further
Hmm, just topic headings, and very small, and still so faint. Too little too late it seems. Traffic on the site can't help but be down.
Actually it's up
