I'm pretty much done with the site footer, I rewrote our About Us, but if someone feels they can put together a better description, by all means have at it. Some of the links are dead, but as time progresses I'll get them up. The Amazon Widget is in the footer now, if you can't see it then you probably have Adblock or something on. Remember, all moneys received from the widget go right back into the site or community. Things to do: -finalize new logo - complete -tweak site colors -add various addons to enhance usability -purchase user image gallery -tweak permissions and user groups -add community mods -add rss feeds -figure out all the miscellaneous options with xenforo - ... lots more I'm sure.
Indeed I just noticed we had a Strava group as well. I can create a social icon on the page that will link to it. Just need some time, but I'll add that to the list as well. For my reference, it's here.
Multiquote is enabled. Simply select the Quote option next to reply on each post within a thread and it'll quote them for you. Alternatively, hitting reply on any one will still quote a post. The big difference with multiquote is it will function through multiple pages within the same thread.
Outside of the Image Gallery, I'd like to install these two addons at some point (for my reference): https://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-ratings-taking-likes-to-the-next-level.410/ https://xenforo.com/community/resources/social-groups.3443/ Those are the only two paid addons that would truly enhance the functionality of the site.
" Makes lurkers useful for something and gives them a means of interaction " Mostly marketing stuff but this....
Pretty much done with everything now. Outside of installing some paid addons if/when we get in new donations, and promoting the new site, we are set. I'll still work on rss feeds coming through, but the look and feel, as well as options and what not are finally done. If you have any ideas to improve the site in any way, or if you come across errors, then by all means post up in the Community Feedback forum. I'll continue to do small tweaks and improvements here and there, but nothing you'll probably notice. If I do something big, I'll post up in this forum to keep everyone abreast of the changes. Thanks again fellas for letting me work on this for ya'll!
Social groups, although expensive, would replace the Team forum, and allow for groups specific to certain trails and what not, I can see that being a big one here. It's extremely feature rich, I highly recommend it if we can get the money. The other one is really fun to play with, it replaces the Like button with a ton of other options, trust me it gets used A LOT more than just a simple like. It gets pretty damn funny too.
Since the social icons at the bottom of the forums work off of Font Awesome, and fa does not at this time have an icon for Strava (they are petitioning to have one made), I did the best I could for the NHC Strava page. Same colors at least
While you lazy bastards were off doing some crazy long road ride, I was busy tweaking the logo (small details but looks much cleaner) and header to optimize site loading on mobiles. Man you guys sure are lazy <sips coffee>. Enjoy your ride bitches, great day for it!
