Welcome to the TrainerRoad Forum!

hello all

[Textuality]

Probably a stupid question, which is why I’m putting it in here…

How can I properly quote people when I’m replying to them? When I click reply it’s not inserting their text, so I’m having to go back and select the text / add in a blockquote for the text to live against. I can’t see any “reply with quote” button, and everyone else is managing it, so I’m wondering if one of my addons is breaking something.

This is my referred process:

1. Start a reply from the comment you are intending to reply and quote.
2. Use the mouse or touch to highlight a specific portion of the text in the comment that you intend to quote.
3. Select “Quote” from next to that highlighted text.
4. That should place the selected text into the proper formatting and allow you to comment below it.

For the visually inclined:

select the text and release the mouse/trackpad button, then a "Quote button will appear. Click on that and it will start a reply with the quoted text.

Thanks both. Kinda obvious, but also not particularly intuitive!

Hey, all! Providing an update that we’ve made some changes to our Community Guidelines as part of our continued efforts to ensure the forum remains a positive and inclusive space for athletes to learn from each other, get faster, and keep dialogues moving in a productive direction. Please see the updates below (and in the OP) and let me know if you need any clarification!

@Nate_Pearson

1. Be excellent to each other
2. Challenge the idea, don’t attack the person
3. Contribute Constructively
4. Don’t break the law
5. Keep it tidy

@Nate_Pearson

Challenge the Idea, not the Person

This builds on rule #1. The best arguments focus on the idea rather than the person who’s communicating the idea, whether it’s someone on the forum or a public figure. Let’s avoid making things personal and strive to live in the “counterargument” and above. And opinion is important! This is cycling, lots of stuff is subjective.

@Nate_Pearson

Contribute Constructively

Constructive debate creates a safe place for people to respectfully express their opinions and learn through the process of debate. It is an amazing thing when it works, so keep comments well-intentioned and act in good faith. If your comment only serves to create dissent or inhibit a conversation, please keep it to yourself!

A Note On Flagging and Moderation

If you see a post you believe doesn’t follow these guidelines, flag it and a moderator will take a look. Our policy is to generally not enforce “Off-Topic” flags— good conversation goes off on tangents sometimes, and we’re ok with that.

But we will remove posts that violate the guidelines, and we do reserve the right to use our discretion in doing so. Moderators personally follow up with members whose posts are repeatedly being flagged to help them better understand the forum guidelines. And we get it— sometimes people make mistakes. This is why we use a 3 strike rule before permanently excluding anyone from the forum.
If you don’t uphold our forum rules, we’ll remove your access.

Minor bump just to recognize today (September 18, 2023) as the 5th birthday of the TrainerRoad forum. Small milestone to a place that has been a good place to spend time over these years. Thanks to @Nate_Pearson for making this all happen.

I just want to express how happy I am with TR and this forum. I am only a couple of months into TR and find it both effective and engaging. I am especially excited this morning after getting a very encouraging AI detected FTP bump. It is my highest ever FTP and it is only January And I believe it is accurate. AI FTP detect is really what brought me over to TR as I hate testing and found that it interfered with my training and unstructured group rides, or I just didn’t do the testing because I was too fatigued. With TR, I can just train and ride normally and not worry about it. I love that!

And, this forum is the best I have ever been involved with on any topic. It is truly a welcoming and engaging space. It has enough traffic that there is always something new to read. Thank you to the moderators. While you really seem to have a light touch, I’m sure it’s there on some level. However, what is readily apparent is your taking the time to engage in topics, merge things and move them to better areas, and bring subjects to TR’s attention. In this regard I want to especially thank @mcneese.chad Your consistent effort and terrific attitude does not go unnoticed.

So great to hear that you are enjoying the TR service and the forum. Much appreciated for the props for the bit I do around here.

[BrianSpang]

You are most welcome!
