We are thrilled to introduce the new and improved USLMRA Forum!
As the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association strives to remain atop the latest online trends in order to best serve our fans, racers, sponsors and friends, we will periodically make updates to this site in the hopes that it will better meet your needs. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been testing and honing our new USLMRA Forum.
This forum, built on the latest of Web 2.0 technologies, will allow for the sort of in depth, community driven conversation that we know racers & fans alike appreciate, but can’t as easily be held over on our Facebook page or Twitter account, as well as in The Cutting Edge Blog‘s comments section. We hope you’ll join and drive the conversation on our new Forum – we’ve already started threads on each of our Local Chapters and Affiliate Clubs, as well as the 2011 Season, Rules and Tech, and sections for you to sound off on anything off-topic you’d like!
When you visit the new forum, you’ll notice things look a little different. This fresh new feel is intended to ease the experience for our forum participants. Gone is the complex sign-up process that forced you to fill in multiple questions and wait for an administrator to approve your membership… now, you just click on the buttons like these:
Then choose the social networking or email website you use most, including Facebook, Yahoo, Google (GMail), Hotmail, AOL and more – and your account there will grant you access to our forums! We figure, hey, if Facebook has approved you for an account, why make you jump through hoops to get one with us as well?!?
Once you’ve logged in with your social or email account, you are registered forever – that connection will be your USLMRA Forum login for life. That connection also automatically updates your USLMRA Forum profile with some cool information like an avatar picture as well as how you can be reached… and it allows you to share USLMRA Forum posts automatically from your social and / or email accounts! This means that sharing that awesome tech update, amazing photo, or hilarious off-topic joke will take nothing more than a click or two…
Another feature we believe will be very useful is the new “Check this box to be sent email on new replies to this topic” option. No longer will you need to check back to the forum daily to see if your pressing questions have been answered, or if the race schedule of your local chapter has been updated – simply leave a reply to a topic you are interested in, check the “Check this box to be sent email on new replies to this topic” option, and we’ll send you an email automatically when somebody updates the topic. You’ll get the most up to date information as it hits, and you’ll get it delivered directly to your inbox!
As always, updates to the site are sure to generate some issues. If you have any issues registering for the new forum, or if you would like to make a suggestion as to how we can improve it for your use, please feel free to contact us!
