Since the crash people have been saying the site is slow, but I wonder if we're making it hard for them to

1) realise they have to register
2) get past the NOS question etc

Can we maybe put something on the front page advertising that the site has been rebuilt & they need to re-register and maybe make it a bit easier to get in without compromising anything. Even knowing what NOS stands for I struggled if I'm honest to get past the code thing until I could view it on a large screen, was impossible using the iphone and on the ipad (but that could be my eyes!)

People are inherently lazy and things like facebook pander to this, even Woody has only just been able to get on

I don't know? I was just saying it was suggested a few weeks after the site was put online.
The people that I have met on ride outs tell me they can't log on. I keep explaining to them, even though the site still looks the same it isn't the same, they need to re-regester under their old username with either the same or a different password, Not log on, As the new site doesn't recognise them as they aren't registered. :daumenhoch:

the sections are there, but they're not where they were. They're in their own sub-sections.

Right on top bar on http://www.radbmx.co.uk/ it should state something like this:
"Old members need to reregister - and use same old name and spelling to get old posts back! (..due to site redesign in June 2012 :D)"

I agree. I posted up a topic or a comment about this a few months ago. There's nothing to tell the casual viewer/member that this is the NEW radbmx site, and that members will need to re-register. I'm sure there are still a fair few members who are unaware of the recent site problems and new site creation. Can one of the mods get something posted up on the home page please? Thanks

The front Home page is seperate to the main forum and only Bru/Stodgy/TrickyRich can update it i'm afraid. 

I do find it a little hard to believe though that people don't know they have to re-register  ???  i thought we drove it down peoples throats for long enough to be honest  :-\
