News of Site Feedback

Word from Matt is that various email providers are flagging SP's domain as spam and preemptively dumping emails from the site. So emailing another member may not work, as many of us are already aware. Not sure what to do about that. But for account activation, Matt plans to change from the verification email to a "catcha", one of those nifty graphics that twist words to make them unreadable and make you repeatedly select "choose ...

I believe it's a kind of bug. My birth date is correctly entered, but the member list shows I'm 33, however my birthday hasn't come yet this year.
I guess the algorithm makes only a substraction of the current year with the birth year, instead of the exact birth day
well, this is not too important...
btw, why not implementing a feature like "Today's SP members birthdays" ? ...

when I use the quick search/filter "View unanswered posts" I face to a bunch of selling gear or seeking for partner topics which is NOT the meaning.
So I propose to add a section for this type of demands and remove them from such filters.
another solution is to add a section for such demands and provide such quick search/filter for every section/forum.

When I click on coords to show peaks or ranges in a the vicinity of a certain object, the two greatest distances the map displays are 100 miles and 500 miles. Is there any way to add a choice for 250 miles? This would enable one to look at the greater region or state, without showing things two states away. I don't know if this makes sense of is even possible...

How many threads are going to get locked to prevent people from expressing their disgust with management.

While I think it's a joke to ban anybody for something like that, stating that it "wasn't in the rules" is just plain stupid. It's pretty obvious that when someone is banned, they should not be posting (either directly using a different account or by proxy).

+1! The bullshit has to stop.

Although it hasn't been stated as a rule previously, please note that posting in the forums for members that have been banned cannot be condoned under any circumstances. I saw it for the first time in the Ethics forum and have informed the proxy. I'll add it to the FAQs, but would like to make this generally known so it doesn't become a bad habit as we get more members on the banned list.

Thank ...

The page for <a href=http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/155313/pu-u-konahuanui.html>Pu'u Konahuanui</a> is less-than adequate, plus the owner of that page has not been online for quite a while. I think it would be beneficial for the Konahuanui page to be transfered into the ownership of Sp user <a href=http://www.summitpost.org/user_page.php?user_id=58229>Alika</a> who knows a lot about these mountains, and is in the process of making an area/range page for the range that this mountain is in.

It makes me smile, but on the other hand I'm a bit sad to see that these kinds of keywords generate such ads based on the must vulgar stereotypes...



What do you think ? Is there any way to filter the ads ?

How do we change page ownership?
