    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    And commenting on this hasn’t resulted in an automatic subscription to spam emails telling me someone else has made a comment as well !! laugh
