    Agree. The whole point of Beta testing seems to have been missed somewhat.

    It's not great, I have to agree that the blanket white background doesn't make it a pleasure to read. It should be fairly easy to change that. I set up up a forum recently, using free downloaded code, and such changes were not hard or very time consuming.

    As I've said elsewhere, to anyone complaining about the font size, it is a simple matter to inlarge the font using your browser.

    I don't like change
    I like it the way it was
    Now I'm NUMBNUTSCP
    CP = Cycling plus, but it could also be Corporal Punishment !!!
    So NUMBNUTS likes his bottom smacked
    This was the first forum I go to in the morning to see if anybody wants any help with bike problems ect, but now it is all mucked up and why should I share my cycling with the MTB boys that could not care a shit about us, I hate it.
    I'm not going to leave, but I don't think I will be posting here as I have done in the past, I have learnt a lot here and I thank the members for that.

    Didn't the legendary simoncp used to get a lot of stick about his spanking tendencies? Now he is joined by many other CP people.

    WTF.. is this for real???

    Newsflash, road bike riders also ride mtbs, mtbrs also ride road bikes, hell Im just about to buy a cross bike too. Something that has happened is that this is now a cycling community, something we should be proud of not whining because the guy over there has wider tyres than me

    Im getting a bizarre image in my head of a bunch of 3 year olds sulking cos their having to share their favourite toy...
    dont knock on death\'s door.....

    Ring the bell and leg it...that really pi**es him off....

    I certainly swing between the two (bike formats that is) Riding solely single speed MTB nowadays, came from a few years of riding fixed on the road. Does seem a bit of a narrow view. You are not one of those roadies who puts there nose up when seeing an MTB rider I hope :D

    That's as maybe, but for those whose usernames have been edited, there wasn't anything consensual about it. :evil:

    The quotes from other posts are very poorly presented.

    Yes they should teach 'dealing with change' in schools. I hate and fear change.

    K, it's only an internet forum but the way they've done the whole amalgamation is pretty pathetic.

    Jibi, most of my job involves "change", some of it relates to "groups" and I am well aware of the work of Truckman. This place, at the moment, does not have an environemnt which makes change a comforatble experience nor does it foster of a feeling of community - I plan to stick it out for a while to see what happens. The longer it takes for the forum "controllers" to create an environment which encourages a feeling of community the more likely it is the community will be considerably less populous than it could/should be.

    Going by comments in the C+ forum office befoare that was finally locked, it would seem that a number of people have already voted with their mouse, as it were.

    I can understand why a lot of people (and from what I've seen, it's not just us reactionary roadies :wink: ) are particularly unhappy - redshift's post encapsulates my feelings, based on the initial impressions that this forum gave as a whole.

    That said, I'm going to persevere - there are times when alternative virtual haunts may not have anything going on that I want to participate in, and I'd like to think that the copious feedback will be taken on board. Before more long-time members of all the former fora jump ship...

    That's alright then, I still wear lycra. More comfortable than baggies in my view and it helps that I look so good in it (although my wife just seems to ridicule me so I may just be looking in my special mirror again!)
