Suggestions for improvement

The forum has been up and running for sometime with over 300 members, 3500+ posts and 300+ topics.  I believe we have a good thing going here, but like my skiing it always has room for improvement.  We would like your input as to what you think will make it better, what can we add, get rid of, etc.  I'll not say we can do everything but we would really like to keep this moving in a positive direction.  So be gentle, but let's hear your suggestions. 

By the way, when you see Joe Lovato at any of the Western Region tournaments, be sure to thank him for his endless support behind the scenes making this all work technically.  It's no small task! Thank you Joe.

Would like to see a way to add jpg's, tiff's and AVI's into our post and messages.

Off Topic

An off-topic section is created.

Hi Dan,

Love the site but thought I'd notify someone that there are a few things that were working that are currently not working, possibly due to some changes (at least they're not working for me):

- The trick points link is missing (pretty sure it was under "Rules-Records" link from main page). The "Start Tricks" link shows point values for BF starts but I couldn't find the trick points. Maybe it was relocated or perhaps there are new tricks being added?

- The "scores/FindSkier.asp" link gives the following errors:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/Scores/findskier.asp, line 60

The Include file '../_fpclass/fpdblib.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

- The "Tournament Kit" link gives the HTTP 404 error (page not found).

I guess I was too tired when I posted...assumed they were somehow related. Apologies. Thanks for passing the comments along.

Hi Andy,
The western pages are fixed.
The web host upgraded the servers and broke all of the web pages pointing to the database.
Most are fixed except for the Entry Page.

Thanks for inquiring.

Joe

Andy,

it let me make a short post and when I posted it...it logged me out...very frustrating

Yeah DMJ I shoulda learned the first time it swallowed my post to right click and copy so you can login again and post what you typed...I am pretty sure this problem is affecting traffic on the site negatively.

Andy

I think it might be something else since I was not on but a few minutes if that, It logs me out upon trying to post if I typed for more than a couple minutes...I was never even close to 20 minutes.

Must be a different problem.
What internet browser are you using?
1.) Try clicking on 'delete cookies from this page' at the bottom of a forum.
       a. This will immediately log you out.
       b. Instead of using the 'Quick Login' try clicking on the 'Login' button.
2.) Go to your profile settings and select 'Keep me logged in'

Sorry for the inconvenience. I can see how frustrating that must be.

Joe

Pro clinics:  I don't always have time to go to Florida and frankly, sometimes I don't want to burn vacation time recovering in a Winterhaven hotel.  In the past I've tried to hit every traveling pro for their clinic schedule but they never know until the last minute.  Clinic organizers are always worried about filling spots to cover the costs.  When I'm aware of a clinic and it's in a place I'd like to visit, pulling the trigger is easy.

There is a thread/topic for clinics under the Announcements heading. Several have been posted there in the past.
