    A thread about things that get updated and added to road.cc. or fixed!

    Mon 3 Aug 2020

    • Subscriptions functionality is live, which also affects Fantasy Cycling users as premium membership is now handled by the core subs module. Any issues logging in etc, send an email to game@road.cc

    Tues 28 July 2020

    A couple of updates today. 

    • Posting comments with links, or forum topics with links, now requires authorisation from a moderator. If your comment/topic is approved, you won’t be moderated when posting links in future. This is how the site used to work, but the functionality fell off in one of the core upgrades a while back. If you’re a long-standing user it probably won’t affect you.
    • We’re moving away from updating publishing dates to adding new revisions of articles. You’ll be able to see what’s changed in the latest update by clicking on the info icon in the article header. That’ll show you when the article was first published. There’s a bit of work to do to realign articles with their original publish dates; that will be ongoing.

    At like 14 hours now. Maybe it’s held up for moderation because of the single link I had in it?

    And seeing that we’ve revived this zombie piece, are we going to get post counts and fresh comments on the homepage?

    Is there a delay on new forum

    Is there a delay on new forum threads appearing? I made a new one in Tea Stop half an hour ago, and it said it was successful but I don’t see it yet.

    Not sure if this is the place

    Not sure if this is the place to post website feedback, but anyone else getting the ads that appear periodically, which block most of the reading pane?

    They are a menace as you can’t even close them.

    So again there’s a ‘sponsored

    So again there’s a ‘sponsored content’ article (or should I say ‘article’), and yeah, I get that a website like this needs to find a way to make money. But the idea behind ‘sponsored content’ is of course that it sorta, kinda looks like a normal article. Not allowing comments under such content is a bit weak. Either portray it for what it is, an ad, or not, but then also treat it like a normal article and let people engage with it.

    thanks for the reply; that’s just the kind of thing I’d expect to see, but there’s nothing showing there (I am logged in) –  it’s an odd one.

    Hi all.  Newbie here.  I’m enjoying reading the articles and comments.  I have a Q that I hope somebody can help with.  I see that it’s possible to ‘like’ comments left on articles, but I can’t see how to do it.  I admit to being a techno-numpty but most usually I can manage to at least do that much.

    Is there a way to search the forums only?  I see the little search button at the top left of the page, but that searches the whole site.

    Any idea why when I post to

    Any idea why when I post to off-road.cc it flags me as having posted a link?  (to clarify, I’m not posting any links) I’ve done this twice now and a week later my comments still aren’t showing.  Seems strange I can post here without issues.  Thanks.
