ishy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 For some reason it's not loading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That's much better. Not much info on there yet, but its early days. No chat or forums I see, will this change through time. Ceratinly better to navigate than the old site version which I didn't use much as it wasn't user friendly enough. Yeah roll on May, but not too quick as I'm still saving for it!

highland lassie Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That's much better. Not much info on there yet, but its early days. No chat or forums I see, will this change through time. There will be much more info on it as time goes by - we've just started it off with the few articles that are relevant to this year's event, and it will be built upon over the coming weeks and months. However, there won't be live chat or forums for the forseeable future. Live chat is a bit of a waste of space, as it was never really used on the old site so we didn't see the need for it on the new one. Forums are a good idea, but they take a lot of monitoring and maintenance to prevent spammers taking advantage of them, and for a site where the forums are really only used for two or three weeks in the year, it just isn't work the costs and effort involved in maintaining them. The plan is that we'll be able to use Facebook and Twitter for conversational discussions throughout the trial week, and the usual 'forum updates' that I run each day will be online as normal. That may change by the time May comes round, but that's certainly the idea at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianj Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I noticed the new SSDT site is created using Joomla........gotta love Joomla, my favourite free CMS. There's a plethora of modules, plugins & components available to really build up a great site. Good luck!......and see you in May. Ian.

They don't tend to publish their entry list this far in advance of the trial because it's the main selling point for their programme. I'm sure they'll send it across to us once the programme is on the shelves though, and as soon as they do I'll get it up on the site. Cheers! M.

highland lassie Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I noticed the new SSDT site is created using Joomla........gotta love Joomla, my favourite free CMS.There's a plethora of modules, plugins & components available to really build up a great site. Good luck!......and see you in May. Ian. Joomla is fab - dead simple to use too, even I understand it! Mostly....we're still working on getting our heads round all the plugins and components, so don't expect anything too fancy too quickly! Edit : That makes it look like I built the SSDT site...I didn't, Fergus gets all the credit for that one! I just did some research to get my head round it all - I left the real work to him.

charlie prescott Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi Guy's. Hi HL. Thanks for that, Hope to see the list up when you get it. Also the building of the web site is handy,as my eldest lad Lee is building a couple of bike related sites at the moment. Thanks again. Regards Charlie.

jse Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just checked and the new web-site is on 2010 entry list up to.Roll on May. Very nice update for the site! It's in my favorites list and I look forward to it's expansion. Someday I hope to see the SSDT in person. I happen to have a little shop time to watch the last three SSDT's on the video. Great riding, but one area that I must mention is the observers. What a stalwart bunch of volunteers they are! I get the impression from the videos they are well appreciated, as they should be.

highland lassie Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks for that, Hope to see the list up when you get it. Your wish is our command! The P65 committee have happily given us a list of entrants - they've withheld the riding numbers to be published in the programme, but the actual riders are listed on the SSDT site under the Pre-65 tab.
