    Judging by the number of comments on these pages many do not find posting photos on tc an easy task.

    I don't see how it can be any easier than it already is. It's at the bottom every time someone makes a post. Yes, there are storage limits on non-Supporters, but I don't have Zuckerberg's billions, millions, thousands or even hundreds to throw at resources.

    If pictures could be posted very easily straight from the computer it would be much better to show how something has been made or repaired when asking for or giving advice.

    Can't you do that now? I thought adding images was very straightforward.

    How about making in mandatory that people state what country they are in.  It really would help out with requested advice.

     

    Yup, that will happen. The membership system never passed location over, but with the forums managing things I'll be able to fix that.

     Dennis finished 147th, his son 152 and his daughter 233rd at this years SSDT. She went on to win the 2nd day of the Trial 2 Women of the USA world round. Pretty good trials year for the family.

    From last year. We believe it's the first time a father, son and daughter ever competed in the same SSDT.

  5. I am removing far too many posts offering to sell items. The no selling rule in the forums is the only rule that is firmly enforced. 

    If someone posts a where can I get ????? topic and you have whatever they're looking for then do it by PM. What I dont see doesn't break the rules...

    Andy – Who should we enquire to/Push as individuals regarding a 2019 UK indoor world event? Is it for the ACU to bid, or does it all sit with the FIM and promoter?

     

    Dunno. Neil Crosswaite is behind Sheffield. Suspect promoter would want too much money. That's why Sheffield disappeared from the Championship previously. It does badly need a shake-up and refresh though.

    I'm kinda with Cabby on this. Not into the Indoor stuff at all personally, but I'd say there are bigger questions need answered like how can it be a "World Championship" when five of the eight rounds are in France? Why have they shoe-horned Benoit Bincaz in as a fixed rider, to the detriment of far more capable riders, apart from the fact he's French? Why not Franz Kadlec or Iwan Roberts, Trial2 World Champ.

  7. A few points:

    1) The series now has a promoter in 2Play who are responsible for everything so media coverage is nothing to do with the FIM as the topic title suggests.

    2) From their media releases, the opening round was to be shown live in a number of countries with a highlights programme to follow. See https://www.x-trial.com/en/news/x-trial-vendee-live though I have no idea if that actually happened, which countries it was shown in and if that will be continued for future rounds, but you can contact them via their website to ask. They've been pretty fast in responding when I've had to contact them and their English is okay.

    3) The topic was moved from General Trials Talk to World Championship because it relates to the Indoor World Championship so that is where it belongs, though I don't see why that matters. It's not like it was removed.

    There are two places in the UK that can replace such components.  Easily found by a search as I don't think I am permitted to name them on the forum.

    You are, no problem unless you own one of said businesses

    The trouble with forums like this is that completely ignorant and uninformed fools are free to write any inaccurate rubbish that they dream up or mis-understand and then repeat it as being fact.

    And the upside to forums like this is that if someone writes inaccurate rubbish it can be removed. Try getting Faecebook to remove something...
