My two cents.
What I love about the taco is that everyone is together. What hasn't been good is that Trip reports have been lost to the way back and so the new Trip report section is great, but I would also like to see them posted on the front page. Let them act on the front page like they always do, and be saved in the Trip Report section.
Plus, I would like a climbing section where climbing post could be archived like the Trip report section, yet have them also posted to the front page, where if they are posted to, then they will be bumped to the top.
This way everyone has what they want. A front page with climbing, and Trip reports, and everything else, but also a Trip report archive and a climbing section archive for those who only want climbing topics.

hey there john moosie... say, if i understand correctly, the trip reports, then, could also be among the climber's forum post (like before), so we can STILL see all post listed?... :)
if that is the case, i would like that very very much (oh my, and i ain't a climber, i know, i know)... but:
i really MISS seeing them scattered among the forum post, cause then, when you get done with shareing "with buddies" suddenly a "trip report" will seem to "speak out to you" and you just "dive on in" and then, you are refreshed and such, and THEN you see a few other post/threads start to move about, up or down, and you get inspired to have a "buddy share" again for the night, and visa versa, etc, etc...
(but yes, still keep them as well, in an easy to find place, all together if BOTH can be possible...
also: for some reason, i can't seem to tell (it could just be me) but i can't seem to tell where the older comments on the trip reports, start or end, and where the newer comments, have joined up (i do see the dates, though, so perhaps i just got mixed up somehow, is all)...
thus meaning, maybe it was easier to scroll through, before... but then, mabye i just have to get used to it is all... (if that is the case, please disregard this last stuff, here...
*say, as russ says, and someone else, did too,once, sure would be nice if quotes were largers .... :)
just trying to help out, too, for this new post...

Good suggestions Russ. I really like the improvements to the forum. Particularly being able to post pictures directly. I never liked having to use a third party proxy for pics. My only other suggestion would be to have links to all the page numbers of a thread at the bottom of the page. It is cumbersome to have to sift back 20 posts at a time.
Kudos and much respect to the ST gang for their great work.

I just noticed an unfortunate change.
Climber's location is the latest one entered, no matter how old the post
is.
It was amusing to see old locations on old posts, for those who actually
changed theirs.
Now, you'll see, for example, that Russ was posting from Poofter's Froth
five years ago, with no clue to the intriguing locales hes has frequented
in the interim.

Like this (repost from other thread):
I really enjoyed changing my profile every few days, making up random places where I'm 'from'. Now, however, the latest 'from' is retroactively applied to every post I've ever made, [long before I'd ever even heard of minitracking] and as well as everyone else's I suppose. Quite a bit of half-clever history is being lost here.
Can this feature be removed?

A very minor thing: could we see the thread topic in the "Post a Reply" window? It's a helpful way to check what thread you're writing about, and spelling names or whatever correctly too.

The other posters have hit most of the obvious things, but I'd add one more: On the Trip Reports section, the blue top bar has four fields - Title, Author, Last Post, and Msgs. If you could make the "Author" button active, so that clicking on it would sort the TRs by author, that would be a Very Good Thing.
An Even Better Thing would be to have some way of sorting TRs by climbing area. That would probably require future TRs to have an "Area" box, but it shouldn't be too hard to do that.
Anyway, keep up the good work -- this place is terrific, and very much appreciated by most of us who frequent it.

Here's one:
I can read and check out images fine on my iPhone, as can drljefe on his phone (not sure what he has). Don't know if anyone else has tried.
I can't log in and post comments though. Neither can jefe. Just wondering why, I can post just fine to other forums, but not ST.
I'm postIng from the iPhone, and I've been doing it for quite some time. ;-)

There is definitely useful historical information/entertainment from the old From: fields... just keep this as a field in the forum DB instead of fetching it from the user profile. Yes it is less efficient for storage, but in the scheme of things this disk space is waaaay less than the pictures.
If you really want to get fancy with optimizing disk space, maybe set up a separate table like (userid, fromIndex, fromContent) so users can have bazillions of different from fields, and you just store the fromIndex pointer in the forum table. Then again, that's more complication to not save very much disk space.
