Can you please create a catch-all thumbnail on the front page for things like 'Eurobike'?

When you create a new news 'story' for every photo you happen to take on your phones at a trade show, it means the other stuff people might be interested in disappears off of the homepage in about ten minutes!

What if I miss a sick edit from some slopestyle guy doing backflips whilst wearing his disco gear?

Well, yes, obviously. But I am pretty lazy.

Don't worry. There will be another fresher one tomorrow.

If we're making suggestions, then please please please put a "Back to forum" link at the bottom of every thread, so that when I read to the bottom of a page on my phone I don't have to scroll all the way back to the top again to go back to the forum.

@honourablegeorge - on iphone that functionality is built-in: just tap any empty space next to the address bar and Safari will scroll back to the top of the page.

Yeah, worked when I had an iPhone, but not on other phones. Or on PC.

On android/chrome, a quick swipe downwards has you flying back to the top of the page before you can think to look to tap a back to forum button..

It does, but that means swipe, and then click. Or if I'm zoomed in, probably zooming back out to locate th ebutton a tthe top, then swipe, then click

I hate these little inefficiencies that get in the way while I'm being totally unproductive

And jeez, Mark is a grumpy!

I just don't see why every smartphone pic from a trade show gets an individual 'story'. Can't they just be put together in 'day 1', 'day 2' etc?

We are talking first world problems here, of course, but I just thought I'd ask the question.

I'd also like to see a correlation of average bike rating by manufacturer in MBR to advertising income by manufacturer, I suspect the correlation might be quite strong statistically 😉

Probably both. Possibly even radder too!
