You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
T-shirts get packed up and posted this week. There are some extras and they are on sale in the shop here https://singletrackmag.com/shop/singletrack-502-club-limited-edition/
Donations are still needed and are the best way to get one (At least for us) but if you buy one of these extras you are still supporting us.
Now: Tech update.
My weekend was spent trying to optimise and the caching rules and performance of the site. There's a lot to get right there. The voting system for full members seems to be mostly working. We have a lot of file structure changes to make as the way VIP organises files is very different to the way it was on our old Google cloud server. For technical types VIP uses a blob style file storage. This means actual folders and sub folders don't really exist - which is causing us to have to modify how we reference things like where images are stored. This is related to a few issues I know are bugging the hell out of you, like images in older stories not showing and the uploading of images to the forum. The good news is we know why things things aren't working and we know how to fix them. It's just a time issue now.
There's also page loading problem for users with ads that is causing the page to jerk briefly when loading. This is one of those strange ones where it's actually not THAT bad for users but Google is killing us for it in search. This one is involving the engineers from WP VIP and EZoic. We are closing in on that one. It's a priority for us as it's causing traffic loss from search, which is impacting ad revenue.
That's about it from the weekend. I'll keep you updated.
Tell your friends about us. Share what you can and that will do a great deal of good for us.
Oh and the deadline for print subs for the next issue of the mag is the 25th July.

Yay! New tee-shirt for the summer! Now I just need the summer to arrive….
Mine arrived today, cheers.
T-shirt came today, great little logo
Me too! 🙂
Yippee, home from riding Traws Eryri today to find my new favorite tee shirt had been delivered 🙂
Cheers to all at STW.
Just got back from 2 weeks wandering the North Yorkshire Moors to find my tee has arrived safe and sound.
Thanks to all at STW for the great work and the fab new teeshirt.
More t-shirts should be arriving with donators tomorrow/thursday (Posted yesterday). We'll be packing up another big batch tomorrow. We've had more donations coming in recently so we are re-ordering another batch of t-shirts for those.
Asking for a friend.
If my friend (idiot) had been a bit keen on how little weight they had put on recently, what would be the process for swapping or discussing a replacement. My their lad could wear this one and they could order another one?
I forgot about the t-shirt and wondered what the parcel was sitting in the hallway. Really love the nice simple design and not some garish OTT design.
We anticipated some swapsies. As long as you r only worn it the once to try it and it’s clean and you have t washed it. Then send it back and we’ll swap it for the next size up. Contact Zoe first tho to make sure we have a swap ready. Subs@
I've had no t-shirt. Looking through my emails I've not had a response to my original email where I sent my size. I've emailed Zoe but she's on holiday.
I’ve had no t-shirt.
Neither have I 🙁
I’m in the same position as the two above. No t-short here after sending the email about sizes.
Likewise, no T-Shirt. I've emailed Zoe and am awaiting a response
Mine’s turned up and the size is fine for XL
Thank you
My t shirt arrived. Thanks Zoe, Mark and team.
Mine arrived. Looks good. Thanks
