Test thread to try out forum

I think plenty of us are trying to figure out how this new forum works (know I do), and they need a place to put test posting to this forum. If we all put those posts in this one thread, we can keep the mess contained.

i don’t think you’ll be able to put attachments, images, or html in your posts. we could’ve built in the ability to have all this, but we stripped it out. i want to appeal to the lowest common bandwidth denominator that is reasonable, and frankly i’m still on the hunt for ways to make the forum load faster. i expect to keep stripping away frivolous functionality.

if it seems appropriate to add some of this back in, i will.

Good idea. But I did just find out that when you change your signature, it happens retroactively to all your old posts. I guess it reloads that from the dbase rather than it being part of the post.

With regards to images, you mean in the signature, correct? There was an image in the main body in the primate thread, so that obviously works.

this is a test-only a test

what does this do

reddddddddd
what does code mean?
waaaaaaaaaaa???
just practicing…
.

is that “code” indicates a section of the post where you could put a block of text written in a programming language - aka code. This could be html, XML, a C family, perl, lisp, fortran etc…

My guess is that we won’t be needing that little trick either.

My test…

gerard–Welcome to the Slowtwitch forum! What make of bike do you ride? We are pretty partial to Cervelo here, but we do indulge others, in the hope that they will “Come to Jesus”.

Sherpaboy, I did not know that was you. Basically, your store rules. Killer location in Northville right off Hines Drive on one of the best rides in Michigan.

Thanks guys, I have known about this site for a long time…Cullen told me about, but I must have forgotten to register and check it out further. So many forums, so little time…A customer came in the other day and reminded me about it.

I can’t wait to get out for an actual road ride again…it’s been a while. Now I need to decide which Felt to get for myself…Tought choice

Sherpaboy Factoid: The Sherpaboy name came from Dr. Lisa on a climbing trip to The New River where I had all the equip. and basically guided my friends all the time.

Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to checking out the rest of this site.
