Tonight is my first night on the site/forum, and I just registered because I felt the opposite of your original concerns. The information I had been looking for was all here and laid out clearly. I have experience on other forums, so maybe I just knew where to look, but I am excited to be joining this community and I feel like you guys are doing a good job initially for newbies.
Brian,
Thank you for your response and comment! We sincerely appreciate it. As you continue to navigate the site, let us know if you have further questions or thoughts on how to provide more information in an easy to understand and accessible manner.

I’m not sure if TheColoradoKarter and the ColoradoKartingTour websites are owned by the same group, but I think it would be very helpful for new people who find the ColoradoKartingTour website and might be looking for used equipment if the link to TheColoradoKarter was updated to the new site. Currently when you are on the ColoradoKartingTour web site and you are on the Karts and equipment for sale page the link that says The Colorado Karter actually links to the old site.
Steve,
Thank you for your input! I will see what I can do to resolve that issue. It should be fixed within a day.
Worth noting: The Karter is a stand-alone entity and website. The Colorado Karting Tour is a racing series that had a classifieds section for some time, but user input has always been easier to manage than having an intermediary that can only post at random hours of the day.

I have only ever known the new karter, and I think the site is great! Having been on many forums before, the only thing that I think is missing is an”Off Topic” section where non kart topics can be discussed. A place to post funny pictures, news stories, random questions, or discuss anything else that could be going on in the world. I have been on many forums where the off-topic section is a very large party of the community of the site.
The only other thing I can think of would be a “New Posts” link that shows all threads that have been created in chronological order. Basically, an expanded version of the “Recent Replies” section at the bottom of the page. This may encourage cross forum posting. For example, an experienced karter may never open the “New to Karting” forum however if they login and click “New Posts” they would see all new posts, regardless of topic, and would see the new karter question they could reply to.
Just some thoughts. The forum looks great and the site has been an awesome resource! Great work!
Daniel,
Good suggestion on the “Off Topic” Thread. I’m going to create a forum section for that, and see how it goes. I’m anticipating that is going to go off the rails almost immediately and it will get shut down if it does, but I’m game to give it a try…
**This website is karting centric. I want karters to interact, but there isn’t really a place for politics or arguing about random things on this site.**
I’ll look into an expanded ‘recent replies’ section. I’m not sure how to do it at the moment…

Extremely difficult to add an avatar – I followed the instructions on how to do it, and never got the promised email back to set up the account. Not a huge deal, but I think avatars add a nice touch to the forum.
JB,
100% agree! The avatar issue has been extremely frustrating to me. I have consulted multiple forums, and a lot of people are frustrated by this. So far, I have not found a better plug-in or application to improve the process, but I will continue to look…
