Cycling Topics

Cycling Topics Forum​

A forum created for cyclists to discuss all cycling topics around the world.

Whether you're into road biking, gravel, e-biking, or whatever - this community is for you.

We use a Pixel Exit theme. I'm a loyal customer of them.

I've added a few addons to enhance the community including User Blogs, Credits/Shop, Media Gallery. and Resources. I've added quite a few categories for the Resources addon with custom fields to make the resources more unique. I'm hoping that takes off.

The forum is new. I'm getting a few members, but no one is replying yet. Going to keep onboarding them into posting.

Interesting topic but atm maybe a bit overdone? With12 Members and 12 Subforums you have as many subforums as you have members. And apart from you only one person seems to have written a single post. So ATM it seems rather a blog than a forum. Maybe in this state selling premium upgrades to see secret subforums and selling on the marketplace is a bit overdone?

As you probably know gaining a relevant amount of members to keep discussions going is the hardest part when starting a forum. The question is: How would people find your forum and what would be the USP over existing cycling forums to make them register? ATM it seems wanting to be a jack of all trades to serve everyone but with the consequence to lack an USP that would attract new members.

Also, something in your Layout seems to be somewhat broken on the right side:



PS: the link you set in your post is broken - it is missing a ":" :

Appreciate the reply and feedback.

I had a lot more boards, but I've been condensing them. I combined all the bike-type boards into one and took advantage of the prefix feature.

Thanks for sharing the theme issue!
