Jett, what is involved with creating SubForums (Like the ones in Riding Groups)?

To me, you can de-clutter if you consolidate the "Freeride Tour" dates/events into one forum with individual subforms for each event. Aside from Daytona and Pismo most are pretty quiet.
The "Events" forum can probably roll under that too?

Personally speaking, I find the "drop down" annoying. I know it is one click, but I would prefer limited use of that functionality.

All in all, site is great.... keep it up.

hahaha. best one i've seen yet. good deal on the update Jett... just scoped it out.

Hey be nice to Suzi! I'm really greatfull for her comments. I don't know if she realizes it but she bumped my "Surf Ski Header thread" like 50 times, and she was against it!

As far as the New Surf Ski Header thing goes, I would have prefered a designated new section, I don't think its to much to ask, especially sense there are so many existing headers that are almost never used, but the drop down will do. Thanks Jett for Changes, I appreciate your hard work on the site also!

Which forums are almost never used? I think you missed where I'm consolidating a bunch, and am not done yet.

:haha:THIS is hilarious!! I LOVE THE NET!!! I JUST saw this thread again (no joke, lol)!!!!!!!!!!

Check your pm, for I fired one off b4 seeing this (funny stuff of course, LOL, yet I did mention this subject, barely)!!! It was too long to text, LOLOL!! You will luv it!!!

I wasn't against it silly (go read it again, plus what I said in this one, duh, lol)! I was against the "preferred a designated new section"! I had thought of this idea (not my site tho, lol)!!

Plus, I liked taking up for those that do not ride surf, while helping to address the "arrogance" issue (needed to be done imho)!! :grouphug:

So Yeah, be nice to me, ha ha!! Thanks!! (I've been receiving friendly/fun pm, text, emails for it all too, lol)

I don't care for this change, but I do enjoy the site in general.
I vote, at least for the 'skis' section, change it back. Make sub-catagories or something.

All of this seems to have started when I asked for a separate Heading for Surf skis. Everyone who posted in the surf ski thread before it was locked where in favor of it (except for Suzi)
In our Sport there are basically three types of riding setups, Freestyle/freeride, Racing and Surf skis. Freestyle/freeride and Racing both have there own headings but surf skis are left out. This doesn’t make sense to me. I know you said the purpose for the drop downs was to consolidate but that doesn’t make sense when threads like “the X video project” which has only 8 threads (and should really be a sticky in the videos sections) and several of the tour threads which have less than 12 threads and are for 2009 dates exist with there own header. Are they more important than the third of us who are Surf Riders? I’m not trying to stir the pot but it seems that most people don’t like the drop downs and would rather have it the old way, and while you’re at it is it really to much to ask for us to get a separate Surf Ski Thread Heading?

There were countless who decided not to post. I believe it may have been because they did not desire drama. It may have also been because many realize I am well versed in debate and discourse.

John, perhaps you can think of another suggestion...one that would be beneficial to all, in all manners.

Freeriding and Surfriding to me is the same thing. JMPO

I had connection issues last night and wasn't able to finish reworking things, I'll try to get it at the airport this afternoon.
