Paddling Saturday? A friendly reminder... ;)
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 7:39 am
When I checked the board this morning, there were eleven posts with titles like "Paddling Saturday",''Paddling Thursday", "Paddling tomorrow", and "Cossatot Anyone?" (I added the date so your count won't match mine if you look again this morning.)
What's missing? The date you want to paddle!
Please remember this guideline from when this forum was originally established: "Please include a date (not just a day) in your description (because "Let's paddle this Friday!" won't make a lick of sense 2 weeks later when there hasn't been any rain)"
This can be especially helpful when folks come back later to add trip reports to the bottom of the thread, because that "bumps" the thread back to the top. One of the posts about "Rockport next Saturday" was so near the bottom of the page that at first I was assuming it was LAST Saturday, but nope, it was for a trip that might occur tomorrow. Someone quickly scanning for a trip to join could have easily missed it. This may be especially true for those using a mobile device to browse the forum.
Yeah, I know it's not a huge deal. But a few extra seconds on your part can make it a little bit easier on everyone who visits this forum to hunt for a trip to join, so pretty please....
