Trip Report Tips for Trip Reports - improvements coming

We have some improvements coming to the Trip Reports section and there a few things you can do to make the most of the updates when they get here in a few weeks time.

The first is to make sure you have a great first picture in your trip report. The first picture will be used as a cover for your trip report, so make it a good one! It can either be an attachment or embedded from a third party as a linked image.

The new Trip Report section is now live. You should be seeing a much more inviting front screen to the trip reports. As a reminder you can control the cover photo by making it the first image of your trip report. Let me know any comments, feedback, problems. Thanks!

So far, not a fan of the new layout! I can no longer tell which reports have new posts that I haven't read, or even when the last post was made in each. Or am I missing that somewhere?

Looks neat but not nearly as user friendly.

AGREE

Is there a way you can still see the # of views?

Also - the "pages" no longer show on the top of the page so you have to scroll down to the bottom to get to the last page because when you go to the report it starts you at page one.

Agreed! It seems very busy and not as simple to navigate as the old way.

I'm seeing a "NEW" button in orange/yellow in left hand lower corner above posters name. That shows me if there have been new posts I haven't read.

Making use of our new giphy function I say this is:

 

[Tuvalu]

Not a fan.

Too hard to find the TRs I have been following. When I do, I cannot find where I left off reading and would prefer not to start over. Even my own TR bounced me to page one.

Clicking on the title or image should take you to the first unread post. Clicking on the "view full article" will take you to the first post.

Yes you can see any report with new posts in it by looking for the 'NEW' badge

Yes, however if you are caught up on a report and you click the title or image you go to page 1. I would prefer to go to the last page ( you did ask for feedback ).

I have sorted it, thanks for that.

I like feedback - I'm always trying to make the forums the best place for everyone to be
