We all want the way it used to be. The forum format generates discussion, leads to more sales, and just flat out adds a lot of fun to the B/S/T section. No one really uses the current format and I know for myself, get way more sales on TGR (they tried the same format NS currently has and it also failed miserably)

Mods, let's go!

I agree. The current version sucks.

Yeah even though pinkbike isn't a forum-format BST, it's at least super fluid.

The NS is just downright awful.

Holy crap, I've been off ns for like 8 years and just came back to list something on B/S/T. What the hell happened? The new format is super user-unfriendly, and am I missing something or is it impossible to sort by date? Not that you could in the old forum-style, but it was kinda inherently date-sorted.

The map part of the new one is nice, but everything else is terrible. Guess I'll go to TGR...

I feel the exact same way, I came back after years of being inactive (couldn't remember the old password or decades old email so created a new account) regardless, came back to use the B/S/T forum and check back in on what's been going down all these years. sadly disappointed how unfriendly it is to use. *sigh* maybe NS can restore its former glory? Map is cool, not at all good enough to use in place of forum-style IMO

The map would be cool if people's locations were correct, they hardly are

I don’t come on NS all summer, hear about the fact that it’s back run by the people, and yet BST is still garbage.

location is way off on my newest post. Just bring back forum format already.

@Twig @Lonely @Mr.Bishop the people would use it more if it was the forum version.

I 'think' this will happen. We (I say this loosely, I am tech-illiterate) are doing some major stuff on the site's backend this season, it probably won't launch until summer, but this will likely be a part of it. It might be possible to expedite that part but I don't know.
