Fellow friends of spray-
I'm in the process of giving the Trip Report system a bit of an overhaul. As such, I'm looking for feedback on the system... specifically how it could be improved, or other hot sexy features you'd like to see in your favorite venue of online armchair-digital-climbing voyeurism.

TIA for any ideas.

timmy

Be able to filter by username and/or route. Make it more obvious that multiple pages exist (I have talked to a few lurkers that didn't realize more than one page is commonly returned).

Great resource! Thanks timm@y!

A "next page" button at the bottom of the search results screen would be convenient.

Pagnation (next buttons) are on top and bottom of the super cool new version already.

I'll add user/route to the list of search options.

No pagination button at the bottom of mine. Just checked. Only one above the search results.

Is it a function of the browser? I'm using Firefox.

not a browser issue, a keyboard->chair interface problem most likely.

Ya, i'm looking into that right now (fixing the pictures), but on the new board only.

Layton: it may be possible via some automated fashion to scrape in some of the old TRs (looks like the TR function go added around Jan. 04?). we'll add that to the list of things to consider doing. I agree if we have content there, it would be nice to have it available to the TR Index.

So what is the best way to get old TRs into the TR index or (in my case) TRs that are from Idaho and Montana that need to be moved? Send a PM with links? Bump them? Post links here?

What if we find old relevant threads that should be moved to the Idaho or Montana threads? Bump them up?

I had a function for moderators to do this, but would be happy to open it up to others if they want to help build the index by tagging old TR's. I'll add it back into the new upgrade we are doing, and put a post out for volunteers to help index the old posts

No, the problem wasn't you, Proc Boy, it was the forum configuration. It was set to only show threads active in the past 3 months. I'm going to check the rest of the new forums as well.
