RoadRunner Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Please do your posts in the proper area in the subforums. Thank you. Mid range, I think that is a good idea, to keep the trail condition posts to the regions. I had posted some condtions in the chaudierre and bas st laurent regions last night. One thing that popped up was as I was doing this was that typically many of us run several different regions in one trip. So the challenge becomes when we do extended runs with many regions encountered during the runs. Do we post trail conditions and trip reports in one region at a time and break the trip up in regional segments or do we copy the same report in each segment that we run. It does seem redundant to repost the trip report in another segment but breaking up the report by section kind of looses the flow of the trip? Not a big deal, and I do believe that the trip posts belong in segments not in general discussion, curious if there is a solution to tie segments together for the extended runs?

Best regards RR Good post RR........ I agree it could be challenging when you are covering more than one area,especially with trip reports.Let's use the common sense.Admins have created the subforums.Let's use them.Any post regarding a specific area should be posted in that specific area.But I understand what you mean.I think we are doing pretty good so far. What others has to say??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusand Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 How about a saddlebag forum? (multi-region) Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjack Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 How 'bout post under proper region then post a link to post in general forum if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend700 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 i think some region consolidating would help. Many that ride Bas St laurent for example are heading to Gaspe and many rode Chaudierre to get there so maybe just add in the Eastern Townships and make it a southshore subforum.

The Skipper Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 The reason I put the original post under the "trail condition pictures" topic is that most Quebec riders that are south of the border will travel to where the best conditions are. This way you do not have to look under every sub forum to see conditions for Quebec. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo time Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I like the saddlebagging sub-forum idea. But either way I scower the site every night for fresh updates, but for the most part the pics. Can't wait to get out there and start posting some fresh pics myself. More green indicators on the fmcq site today then there was mid January last year, let's hope it keeps up this way. Here's a pic from last year...just couldn't help myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 The separate forums are a pain, you have to click on each region. Make it simple North and South of the St. Lawrence. I like it simple like HCS just Quebec ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Perhaps Quebec province could be quarted into 4 regions, Northwest of the river, north east of the river, southeast of the river ect. : with the specific sections currently listed under each specfic region. Those that run in the whole region could post their trips in this section, more specific info like club info, motels, specific trail info could be guided into the specific sections uner each region?? Keep the ideas flowing, I think will come up with blend that will work. RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain-rev Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I like the sub-forums, clicking around each one is not that big of a deal. There are some areas that I'm not interseted in. This usually is not a problem, maybe just a link would suffice. Just my .02$ (after exchange rate).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 What about simply a "Trip or Saddlebag Form"?? Members could go there to post about their multi region trips. If you had a trip only in one area ie. the Gaspe, then post it in the regional form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
