How about a forum for Buell riders 40 and over?

Move the archives to the end of a thread instead of the beginning, that way you don't have to wait for them to load before you can read.

Patience Grasshopper, patience. : D Seriously though, get cable. No really, unfortunately there is no way to easily move the subtopics listings to the bottom of the page. What we the custodians need to do is to consolidate the archives on discussion pages that develop long lists of archives. (That would be a big hint to some of our custodians.) : ]

Thanks for the idea.

Blake

I just bought a helmet from newenough.com (A site I learned about on badweb). As part of the checkout procedure they offer to donate $1.00 to a motorcycling group of your choice. Badweb isn't on the list! I gave a dollar to ducattimonster.org because Court says they are the sexiest motorcycles ever made. But I would prefer to have given it to Badweb. I don't know what you have to do to get on their list, but it's free money!

Could you have a column for who started a thread in addition to the last poster?

Tim

I'm pretty sure we can do that. I'll put that in the pot for the next major upgrade/recongifuration of the site.

Any chance you could resurect this thread from the archives?

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/122686.html?1119420672

.... it was up one day before getting shelved and for some reason even though it's still being posted to it's still archived.

Done! : )

add a 'home' link on every page, that'd be nice...




Done! See "Topics" links at top-right and bottom-left of every page. : )

Do you use the "Search - Messages since I last searched for new messages:" utility?

just keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it.

Thanks for the sage advice Tramp. : )

Jerseydevil,
As the links page is not a discussion page, intended only for posting links to other web pages of interest, we prefer to have the newest contributions show up at the top. As there should be no date relevance or relationship between individual posts, no interrelated thread of posts so to speak, the order of listing should be of little consequence and hopefully the unorthodox format will help preclude the tendency for us to engage in casual conversation.

Hmmm... maybe we should put the Cool Pics in reverse chron order too. : )

Anyway, if we changed it now, after years of existing in its current form, how much confusion might that cause?

Your request reminds me of the early days of BadWeB when we had a couple requests that all the pages be formatted in reverse chronological order. We tried it. We didn't like it at all, so I understand your view on the issue even for the "Links" page. It is definitely "Different in Every Sense."

How true Blake, I wasn't sure why it was that way, now I understand. Oh, btw, excellent site, there is a wealth of knowledge here. Do you sell stickers or the like to sway the cost of running the site, and for advertisement? Just wonderin' 'cause I want to know where to get one if you do.

You can purchase a calendar for $17 via paypal to calendars@BadWeatherbikers.com . That will benefit our AMA Formula Xtreme racers' award fund.

Blake,

What does BWB "average" approximately on bandwidth per month. Trying to get a handle on what 4.0 gb/month would be. Can't put it into terms that I can relate to.

Don't know if anyone else has suggested this or not, but how about a non motorcycle related section in the Classifieds? I have a bunch of items that I want to sell (ie. auto carb, cell phone, & more) and would like to offer them here before going elsewhere. I don't feel right and won't post them in the parts for sale section. Any possibilities? Thanks...

BadWeB serves up over 90GB/mo.

Eazy,
I think it's best if we try to keep the BadWeB as motorcycle related as possible. Folks don't visit this site looking for automobile parts or cell phones; they come here mainly for the motorcycle content, so it would be a poor marketplace for non-moto related stuff. Your best best to garner a good sale would be on ebay or another similar auction site.

That's cool Blake. After I thought about it a bit, it didn't make much sense to me either.
Oh well... next time I'll just go to sleep. It was late...

No positive suggestion is a bad suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to chime in.

How about a new Topic Thread for 2006 Bikes/Opinions/Rumors? Starting to get a little repetitive between the Quick/XBoards.

No kidding. Am cogitating on the name.

"Dirty Buell Board"?

"XB-Large Board"?

"Big and Dirty Board"

"BadWeB's Excellent Adventure Board"?

For now, we'll probably consolidate all the new Buell related topics into one. Thanks for the suggestion.
