    Looks great, well done all!  A serious amount of work must have gone into the changes.

    Hi Colin, when browsing on mobile devices there’s now a menu icon that appears to the left of the main road.cc logo, click on this and you’ll get a pop out nav with all the usual options.

    Oli, tried that earlier but it doesn’t do anything on my iPad Air 2 (iOS9 installed).

    Definitely shiny, but does

    Definitely shiny, but does feel like a case of style over substance, which has to be an issue a news & information based website. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to offer the easy routes into the information that consumers want… however, maybe that’s just me, and I would hope that your web team have poured over the traffic stats from the last year and done a thorough analysis on where people are going for information… I can only hope that they haven’t biased this towards the 50% of people who land on the front page via Google and never bother to read the content, rather than the 50% who come to the site and spend time reading the content.

    Oh, and sorting the bike forum by Last Reply doesn’t work. The order seems more or less random.

     

    edit: I’ve just realised there are a pile of sticky posts at the top.   They need to be flagged as sticky so we know to ignore them

    Don’t know what you are

    Don’t know what you are looking at Tom, but it is truely awful and I mean truely.

     

    All replies are in a tiny font that is barely readable. All that the change seems to have done is turn it into some advertising mega site. It’s crap

    The lack of a ‘recent comments’ pane allied to the rubbish set up for the forum is crap.

     

    Look at STW for an example of a good, easy to use, busy forum.
