Randomguy Posted July 7, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2015 I wanted to search for my description of the Black Label Burger from the LF for the burger thread here, and the search function doesn't seem to work at all, and the avatars, although tiny, seem to be crowding out the beginnings of the thread titles. Not many posts in the last 24 hours, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 7, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2015 Our search her is terrible too. That is something that has received many complaints and will be overhauled soon, hopefully in a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys really suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeman564™ Posted July 7, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Is it because of the hooptie in the parking lot? BTW, this was from Google Street View, Ecorse MI If you do not know Ecorse...you don't want to. Edited July 7, 2015 by bikeman564™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 7, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 7, 2015 Oh boy, another software update to look forward to………..Yup, UPDATE, not upgrade. Small, easy to roll back. I do full backups now. The process only takes about 5 minutes, but it takes an hour to make the backups, hence the longish downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 7, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 7, 2015 Update… upgrade Tomato……. potato. Tech support gibberish. When's the site going to be broken, that's all we need to know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, this was from Google Street View, Ecorse MI If you do not know Ecorse...you don't want to. One of the sites I managed in a previous job was in Taylor, on Telegraph (within a couple miles of where Ecorse Rd. dumped into). After seeing a lot of the rest of Telegraph road, I have to say that section was a jewel compared to the miles of pawn shops, nail salons, liquor stores, and rotting, closed buildings.

I was expressing sadness that the software sucks in a horribly buggy way and and Rodale doesn't care and that people don't post there much now because of it all.

Well, I'm not a software expert (obviously), but I see no problem with it nor do I believe that it hinders people from participating. I think you are amplifying the "software" problem and the supposed lack of posting. There is always plenty of discussion over there about lots of different topics. Maybe you should post over there for awhile and see if your assertions are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do leave quick, though, the display really does give me a headache pretty quickly. Plus, I am not the most popular guy over there with some of the posters these days, if you hadn't noticed.

Pokey Posted July 8, 2015 Share #24 Posted July 8, 2015 The LF is sucky, rude and way to freaking cliquish. Anyway, as I once mentioned, I don't remember my password nor do I care to reset it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 8, 2015 Share #25 Posted July 8, 2015 I like both places, clearly I like here more.I see no reason to knock them. They are great people. I agree their software is terrible, and I do worry that Rodale will simply pull the forum out from under their feet without warning. Go try and find the Organic Gardening forum. Gone!

Gone!You keep using the OG forum as an example. There is a lot of difference in the participation levels of the LF versus the OG. I can't imagine organic gardening ever having the participation level in a forum that would justify it's existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't robust, but it wasn't dead either.Either way, I still like the Bicycling site, I visit it daily. I generally don't participate because I suspect I am not welcome.
