We'll look into that. Thanks for reporting.

This is a feature we admittedly haven't delved into in much detail yet. The new version comes with a full leaderboard that can be set up to highlight members who receive the most positive reactions to posts in a given period, e.g. day, month, all time. 

For now it has been disabled, but we'll consider how this could work in the Bike Hub context in future.

when I click on Active Topics, it only brings up cycling related stuff. All the Chit Chat stuff is not there. Have to go via Browse Sections - Off Topic - Chit Chat. Then I click on a Chit Chat topic and if I want to go to another Chit Chat, I have to do the whole process over again. Am I being doff? It wouldn't be the first time.

maybe a pair of (elusive, limited edition and only made available to BikeHub Premium members) sokkies for the winner?

Highly unlikey but this is kinda edgeing the site towards people that post for likes , as i said highly unlikely but its the start for sure 

I would have "liked" your post, but just in case...

 

BTW, we post here for numbers. Quantity outranks quality on the interwebs....

That's why we're cautious about how it's implemented, if at all. There's merit in acknowledging those who post helpful, quality content, however if poorly executed it can quickly turn into a "how many likes can I get with this post" scenario. That's not behaviour we're keen to encourage.

we all know that gifs with mooi tannies get a lot of likes.... (until some other kwaai tannie sees it and complains to the boss)

This annoys the hell out of me. When I click on Active Topics Content Type is filtered to "Topics" - I have to click on that and choose "All Content" every single time. It does not remember what I chose

Guys, (TL:DR)

surely there must be a faster way to navigate around this site. Where's the drop down menus gone to?

One can't be expected to load multiple pages just to go from the forums to a specific classified section and vice versa?

Otherwise, it looks okay even though I hate change.

Got you. We'll consider some solutions for this on the desktop menu.

This is not a Gremlin on the new site, but seeing as you are making updates...

Is it possible to have more MTB frame size options, like M/L which applies to brands like Trek ?

I think that this may also be useful on the road frame side too.
For example, Giant/Liv has XS to XL.
I have noted confusion when people list these bikes, they need to somehow convert their Small frame to a CM measurement (is that the seat tube or the top tube ?). So when you see a 54cm Giant frame, its not very clear. Especially if people don't post enough pics.
 

Thanks in advance

Or just the ability to select up to two sizes at the same time?
