It took me a few days to figure out y'all were here given that RA already has a trail running party room (but I'm sure you've discussed that somewhere; not here to ask the obvious).  Two things.

1. I've been here forever, so if you have any questions about how to do stuff in the site, ask.  I see that practically everyone has already overcome the "profile vs forum preferences" avatar aha, otherwise known as "why isn't my picture displaying" and some of you have stumbled onto the idea that images in general work differently here.  No, when you want to put a pic in a post, RA doesn't suck up your image and pat your bottom like RWOL does.  On the other hand, you can embed pics already on the internet way way way easier.  If you have a pic on your computer, load it into picasa or tinypic (free, no login reguired, will resize images, and... free), link it and it just works.

2. You can cuss here.  The shit is bananas.

3.  I realize that RWOL "done you wrong" and all that, and believe me I'm in your corner.  But have you noticed that RWOL has not deleted any of the threads/posts where we've been leading people over to RA?  Nope.  They haven't.  The conspiracy theorist inside me says that this was a "don't let the door hit you in the ass" move.  Not so much for the trail forum as perhaps NRR, but still...  Anyway, my point is that they probably don't really care so much that people left because, well, they are Runners World.  With the slick mag.  Their site will backfill with new folks.  (and you can go get them, if you wanna).  So release the angst.

Back to dirt and such.

Yes, I said "two things".  Little joke.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you for the info.  Has anyone told you you look like John Belushi?

I noticed that clicking on a thread title will sometimes take me to the new post and sometimes to the beginning of the thread.  Is there a rhyme or reason to this? 

Someone asked Eric to make a "Go to last unread post" button.  I do believe this is the solution, but I don't know if he's worked out the bugs yet. 

Oh for fuck's sake.  Just when I ask what I did wrong the pic comes through!

Sorry -- I originally was going to post a pic of the swamp I had to run through last weekend, but it didn't appear to come through.  I then thought it might have something to do with the fact it was not one of my pics (I pulled it off FB), so I decided to post foot porn.  Now let's see if the swamp comes through:

Edit:  nope!  Now I'm wondering what the hell I did to get the damn foot pic posted!

This thread has taken an un-welcome turn

Suck it up, buttercup!  Trail running ain't pretty 

Ya I know...I was trying to enjoy a breakfast burrito
