... I'd dearly love to have the old groups thing back.
Ah, yes, Social Groups. I'll have a look and see if anyone has an add-on for that.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I'd love to have an ignore list functionality that hides the whole post, rather than just the post content. Certain posters raise my blood pressure too much to bother with them, and I'm not quite strong enough always to avoid clicking on the "show this post" link.

We need an Astrology section so that we can plan our trips.
Sadly I already spend far too much time on CycleChat (and nearly everybody else appears to spend even more time). I'm adept at quickly clicking it out of sight when my SMT appears.
The bottom line is I don't need more features. I need more time. Indeed the finest improvement so far is the death of P&L. That gave me back part of a life I had not realized I had lost
Oh and its wonderful that since the major upgrade (last year?) you have lavished so much attention in returning the look'n'feel back to near the original. It really has a nice appearance and also feels deeply loved by you Shaun. Thank you. Much appreciated!

I'm leaning towards initially just enabling the forums; then once everyone has had some time to get used to them, slowly introducing the extras (I'll need time to convert the data anyway).
The layout is quite different but I'll be creating some tutorial videos in advance of the move to point out where all the main features are. I'll also open the test board to let everyone have a play around with it too.
There will be only one skin though; based on the current Classic one. It's just too much work at upgrade time to re-hash multiple themes.
As yet, there isn't a mobile specific theme, but I am investigating an alternative solution and will post more about that if it comes off.

I shall miss CycleChat. I like the vibrancy of blue and orange. You do need some sort of mobile-friendly skin when you change, I suspect - otherwise a lot of people will disappear because the site's too slow.

The alternative I'm looking at is a free mobile application for CC'ers.
I'm still in discussions about white-label licensing and costs, but am thinking that the savings from not having to commission multiple custom skin designs can possibly be put to better use by providing a solid mobile platform that won't cost anything for you ladies and gents to download!!

I should be able to convert it over to the third-party XF blog add-on, but if you'd like to copy it into a thread feel free.
I am also considering leaving the current software open in read-only mode for a while afterwards in case anyone needs anything from it to re-post or recover or move to outside sources (such as avatars, images, videos, downloads, blog articles, etc.)
It's still very much in the planning stage, but I'm firming things up as I go along and hopefully we can bring it all together in a fast and easy-to-use package that most people will enjoy using.

Shaun

maybe a searchable section or part of the site, where things like spoke calcs, tyre sizes, could run live, perhaps build up some sort of 'toolbox' of cycling related simple programs or dumping ground for good info, if you know what I mean? instead of me going to sheldon's site, it'd be nice to have something similar here.
