Fourth Batch of Small Site Updates

Since February of 2009 I have made an effort to update velospace, the places for bikes on a semi-regular basis, and to let you know about it. Update #1, #2, #3, and today we have #4.

In addition to the small site updates, 2009 has brought quite a few anti-spam measures, including: a 60 second comment delay, 15-day wait period for new users to post sales, and a one forum thread per day per user limit.

In continuing the effort to update the site, I have a few small changes to let you know about:

  • The “for sale” button at the top of the site has been replaced by a “buy / sell” button that links you to either the used bike marketplace to browse items for sale or the used bike parts want to buy thread on the forums. Thanks to user eaglerock for the excellent suggestion.
  • The “thumbnails” button at the top of the site has been renamed “photos” to be a bit more clear about what you are getting when you go there. The bike thumbnail photos page itself now has browse by category links at the top so you can easily drill down into your favorite type of bike.
