Thinking of finally doing the much dissed Bowderdale route with the missus tomorrow, and wanted to look on the recent thread...

But both Google and STW searches come up with decades old search results and then label them as being 23 May 2023, or 10 days ago etc

Wtf is going on there?
And can anyone direct me to the recent thread

This one?

Just googled it and although dated 1/6/23 it's 10 years old. Weird

It's weird. And a tad annoying.

If the "recent posts" functionality on " my profile" wasn't such a piece of shit I'd be able to find it there.....

But no, rather than listing all the threads ive replied to it lists all the ****ing induvidual replies and then goes into a catatonic state after ive clicked through the first 400 pages of them

Still, reviews of £12,000 ebikes.....

STW is not setting the correct date in the page metadata. Basic stuff.

This one actually drives me potty, it's impossible to find anything once it falls off page one. Search is essentially useless, which is a spectacular failure on a site with so much information.

I've raised this before with zero answers as to what the problem or solution is 😬

Just tuned in live and the 9:30 start was put back to 9:35.

Now just getting a screensaver type screen. So far they are managing to do it just as bad as red bull did and that was free

edit: just gone to YouTube and can see it free on there 🤷‍♂️

Cheers @FunkyDunc 😂
Is redbull giving any view as to whether the return leg over Hazel Gyll Knott via the Dales High Way is a goer?

Seems to make more sense than going east to the road....

I guess I need to tune in for the track walk.
