Not initially, but there's a ten second window where they need to make it count. If they don't impress there's a distinct possibility that I'll highlight that my drink is more interesting and they should take their leave. This window increses to 15 seconds for a lady, 20 for a pretty lady, and about the time it takes summon a taxi for a drunk lady

If someone joined up 6 months ago but hasnt posted anything i can see  a few reasons for it:-
1  didnt realise they could lurk without actually joining up.
2  they dont have much bike knowledge & every topic has pretty much been covered already so they dont need to post( i should just lurk as i know foc all about bikes but i see it as an alternative facebook where blokes & lassies talk about half decent stuff,well most of the time :b )


3  they thought about buying a fazer but then didnt bother but havent deleted their profile 


4 they got a fazer but then failed their test & never bothered to do it again.


5 they got a fazer but got banned from driving or even crashed it or got injured etc etc


Anyway theres lots o reasons & it'd be pretty hard for the admins to tell but who knows maybe farjo & co have a spring clearout now & then.


The member map seems pretty obvious to me but i also agree that lots of bikers,especially the older generation may not find these things so obvious to see or navigate through the site in general but we cant hold the site accountable for individuals lack of computer knowledge/skills.


All of the top menu buttons could be pictures depicting the subject which would no doubt be easier to interpret & stand out but at the end of the day this is a free site & doing all this extra stuff could end up costing money & lots of time & im tight as foc

Tibbs, Chris,
I'm okay, I always was and always will be.  I have just have a 'I give up' approach

I can tell pretty much instantly when you're not going to change someone's mind, so you may as well bug out before the stone catches miss (like it has here).

I preempt that.

I'm Glad Martin Luther King didn't have that attitude. "I have a dream... but I know some people won't agree with me so I'm not going to tell you about it"  :lol

I think he had something a lot more important to communicate than a member map.  I suspect as well that he was a likeable chap who communicated well.

In addition he had loads of people who agreed with him with which  to make his stand on.

All in all, not many similarities at all

Just got round to reading this post and instead of lurking thought i'd better reply.
I checked the map 'cause I wasn't sure if I was on and found I am living in a
tree about a mile up the road from where I thought I was.

I always fancied living in a tree house but it'd need to be a redwood to contain all my creature comforts  :lol

[pipestrangler]

Yeah that's right, I think this ones an oak so I will stick with the traditional
till someone lets loose a disease to kill them then I will move back to where I
think I live.

- i have to agree with Ramey - all this pink and fluffy shite is enough to make me take my pin out the map- anyone would think this was a fooking dating agency not a biking forum!

The lack of stickies is deliberate as it was getting to the ridiculous stage on the old site at certain times, Hints & Tips being a prime example.
IIRC there were 14 or so stickies and only room to show half a dozen odd threads on the first page.
We went for the articles banner rather than sticky threads as a way to keep the pages "cleaner" and less cluttered, I reckon that works.

I see where you're coming from about people perhaps not realising it's there, I'll see about adding a mention to it in the Help section as well.

Calm down wee man - we're just pressing your buttons because your easy to wind up - you have used this interweb thing before haven't you ?

I must be coming across wrong then cos I'm not at all wound up.  I really don't care  :rolleyes.  I thought the smileys would have given it away.

14th+ time someone has posted about how to add pictures.  It gets dull after a while.  Easily fixed with a sticky/help.

You can only get rid of sticky threads if someone is willing to put the work in and make the info easy to find.
