Nozzle Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'd like to suggest a couple of forum improvements:1) have an option to remain logged in by way of cookies.2) have an option to navigate directly to posts I've already made, saves having to remember and having to navigate manually (to see the/any responses3) have an option to turn on/off notifications if a thread that a user has started has a new posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjr Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As Nozzle said, some form of notification system would transform this forum.I dont know if any progress in the technical capabilities has been made since he suggested this in January? I understand its easier for me to say than for someone to do... But if you look at one of the forum hosting apps such as "Tapatalk", you can "subscribe " to any thread meaning you get notifications on all posts made, and you can also subscribe to whole sub forums notifying you when a new thread is created.It would also be useful for commonly used posts to become "pinned/stickies" so that they always appear first in the subgroup so you and new users instantly see the most active and popular threads (and until we have a subscribe feature we can find them without scrolling through multiple pages) Possible a like/favourite button on.posts would be a nice touch in futureKeep up the good work!

homingpigeon79 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think if the forum is to be a place for us all to discuss and drive the engagement with Scalextric it needs to be easier to use, and there are tried and tested platforms out there that will cover most needs. Tapatalk is a great example as Cjr mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicRacer Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I hope its ok to continue to add to this section. An improvememt suggestion is to allow the upload of other document types. In particular, I have managed to aquire and now have scanned copies of instructions for C451 Fuel Tank, and C452 Think Tank. I know many others also have trouble finding such instructions and would be useful to be able to upload the pdfs so others may benifit. Maybe a section for such instructions would be useful, as there are many items that are just not available anymore. I know this as I have contacted the manufacturer a few times, and each time the answer is the same, that they do not have these instructions anymore, and cannot help.

Andy P. Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have uploaded JPGs of instructions before. After the moderater approves them they are avaialble.Granted some sort of library would be good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris99 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Notification of replies to posts and being able to subscribe to sub forums and threads is long overdue. Most forums have them by default and they are very important in facilitating timely interactivity.Sorry for the corporate speak but maybe the suits will appreciate it 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kommandant33 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Practically the forum is useless if you don't get notifications OR if you can't find your posts... I have 4 posts to my name, but no idea where they are! You can't even search your username to find them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P. Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If you click on your name you can see all the posts you have made from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castano Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Maybe do something to increase activity on the forum? This article https://fizzle.co/sparkline/active-community has some useful ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorp Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 In the northern hemisphere this is summertime, when the living is suppose to be easy.But we have the virus to deal with along with politics in the new world and brexit in the old.With many locations now loosening up their restrictions, people are putting away their toys which were usefull during the shelter in place stage to pass the time and instead are going outside.Slot racing normally goes on an hiatus until fall when newbies arrive to ask about which set to buy and then how to make it work.So am enjoying the quiet time again.
