Forum Features: Your Opinion Wanted!

[Fast n' Furious]

Kneebenderbiker, welcome to EBR. Some of your points of concern/interest might be addressed by knowing more about who you're reading. Click on a members screen name or handle and you can see when they joined and maybe a bit more. Click on it again and you can see what other topics they've posted on, how many posts, get a flavor for if they support and contribute etc. and how recently.

Then put @kneebenderbiker in your text and they will get a notification.

I for one miss you and your posts.
My titanium Cross Tour was delivered and is a real beast.
I wonder about your experiences and developments.
Thanks for helping inspire me. Did the Kindernay work out?
I have a friend looking for a WW ti bike in med or small.
Here's the Happy New Year I didn't get to wish you !!!

I didn't notice when you did it, but thanks for killing off the illegible green for this far nicer blue. It's still borderline not passing WCAG AAA, but it passes AA which si good enough for most things.

I can ignore others but it would also be nice if when I do, they also ignore me. Just ^^^ it says 'Show ignored content.' I won't look.

Ask for the feature to Block users.

Ask for the feature to Block users.

Every family has a mental case. This fraternity is no different. People say what they please.
America's Constitution was partly authored by a rabble-rousing newspaper editor and everyone laughed at the Wright brothers. For us reasonable dissent is a cultural norm.
What a mundane world this would be if everyone agreed - but you can click on a members icon, then click on "ignore".

Virtually any social media service has the Blocking feature. You may Ignore your stalkers but they will not Ignore you. What Uma is actually asking for is the Blocking feature.

 

[Fast n' Furious]

EBR has that as well.
Problem in the past was real or imagined offenses - where it was apparent statements of dislike were mutual combat.
Reasoning "You may Ignore your stalkers but they will not Ignore you" does not support the conclusion we should "Ask for the feature to Block users" as a solution.
Controversy would lead to a melee of disgruntled members whimsically blocking other members - what you lobbied for - not an anti-"stalkers" solutions.
Maybe the 'stalker' gets down first and blocks you?
Bad players tend to have experience 'using the system'.
Perhaps a Thumbs-Down option, clear censure by the community would be useful ?
I support free thinking - not institutionalized 'gang-rule', nor belligerent contrarianism towards 'settled matters'.
Critical thinking - dialectic reasoning - is brutal. Defending a premise and (heaven forbid) being wrong (a large percentage of the time) complicates matters.
Mia culpa, it's totally selfish on my part. You pass wisdom on, an asset and I don't want some creep banning you. (Maybe we'd enact a 'reinstatement clause/ petition', or you could compromise yourself, do what creeps do, use another browser and identity?).
Trusting in letting people make an ass out of themselves (ahem) and EBR moderators to professionally review complaints, I seriously doubt those I find distasteful should be banned, or that my logic is more cogent than yours.
I don't want anybody banning me from seeing anyone.
It's not your (or my) decision to make.

Wow! Just registered on this forum, and the same ridiculous childish stuff seems to follow every forum?! Guess it's the way of the world these days? This is a simple e-bike forum, but there is always that person or persons to start a fire one way or the other?
Biggest turn off on every forum I've ever been on! Nice to meet you folks that are not starters

Not sure how you "registered" but I don't see a positive contribution so far.
Criticism's kinda a loser introduction. An entitlement mentality must be worthy.
You have it wrong. This is a touchy topic.
Eastern Europeans demand authoritarian controls; Western, liberal, even libertarian's see that as inane.
This isn't Candyland with wooden soldier's marching to the same drum, where lost 'Alice' girls fall asleep in poppy fields (damn, fentanyl and all, that's a bad historical-poetic analogy, sorry).
Dismissive snobbery is the main problem I see here. Nothing childish about it. The enemy of such delusions is dialogue and 'Oh nevermind, you wouldn't understand anyway' is only more of the same.

Hi! I participate in another XenForo-based forum and I have a suggestion. I don’t know if it’s a XenForo feature or if the behavior is specific to different revision(s) of the software, but a really nice feature on my other forum is an arrow that appears on the right near the scrolling bar that takes you to the top of the thread. In a long thread with lots of pictures it’s really nice to have.

I realize EBR has a “Top” arrow that appears at the bottom of a thread page, but what I’m talking about is the same type of feature but it is always there as you scroll around a thread… i.e., you don’t have to be at the bottom of the page to go right to the top.

BTW, I’m enjoying being here at EBR. And I don’t frequent other ebike forums, although I have referenced some material at https://ebikesforum.com/

Good idea!

And while we're on the subject of navigational aids, I'd really like to see this page navigation bar repeated at the top of every page within a topic. EBR used to have them both top and bottom, but the top bar disappeared a year or so ago, leaving only the bottom bar now.

We may need a Pinarello subforum soon.

This site is nice and has been a good introduction into e-bikes. I like endlesssphere for a deeper dive. Lots of interesting folks there. A few A-holes, just like any other part of the World Wide Web. Also LOTS of knowledge.

I made a “build” thread there.

Dark mode would be awesome. I can't stare at a white screen for more than a few seconds. Yeah, I know, extensions, but they have issues.
