News of Site Feedback

Hi:

I had emailed (inboxed) Rob recently with a few suggestions regarding uploading trip reports on SP. He recommended me to write a new post on the feedback section of the forum, where Matt would see it - who would eventually do something about it. So, here it goes - A few improvements, which will help speed up the process of uploading TRs, which otherwise takes a LOT of time....

1 - The "Bulk-uploader" has ...

The auto play pop up ads are less frequent, it seems, and they wait a few seconds before becoming audible so you have a chance to close them. But now I am getting saturated with static ads all over summitpost: above, on the sides, in between features, and below. This is even though my profile says 'minimal ads'. Did a decision get made to allow more ads or has something changed? Any one else noticing ...

I was working on a new page on 16-17 October. It disappeared - the still under construction page and all associated images.

What's up?

Brian Jenkins was complaining about this and now I have discovered that a number of my entries and Moni's entries are gone.

Having a track file for most of not all of the routes here would be incredibly helpful for anyone who wants to try that route.

I have hundreds of tracks that I would be glad to upload and share.

If there is a place on Summit post to upload it tracks and I haven't found it yet, can you please ...

Dear Admins,

I hope this is the right place to ask. Some weeks ago I climbed the Iztaccihuatl in Mexico. Awesome place!
The entry on summitpost reeeeaaally helped me planing this trip...

After that, I created a little trip report in my private blog with lots of images.
Is it possible to link this entry in the "external links" section of the Iztaccihuatl page? I think it could be interesting for some people.

A little ...
