Temporary Closure and Detour of W&OD Trail at Idylwood Park Starting around Feb 24th

[secstate]

“The closure will be for about one week… Cyclists will be directed to Virginia Lane and Nottingham Drive to detour around the closed section of trail. This on-road detour uses the W&OD Trail access at the end of Nottingham Drive.”

You post a lot of interesting links, but only the links. They’d be more useful if you could offer a quick preview or a summary of the most useful information.

Unless one knows where Nottingham Drive is, he/she will likely have to click on the link anyway. Besides, I’m not a movie/food critic, so perhaps it’s better just to let the link do the talking.

In this same topic, I never click on just links. Please kindly provide a synopsis of what the article is about instead of just posting a link. There are some great examples of this elsewhere on the forum. (Besides, I thought that was proper forum etiquette, as those that just post links are typically spammers.)

Be careful what you ask for- I don’t always appreciate the turn some of these threads take when someone else adds their interpretation to a linked article.

Isn’t the thread title the summary?

Some people with older phones may have trouble with some sites, so they can’t click on links, so a summary is helpful.

How old is old? Flip phone old or iPhone6 old?

My older phone as of 2 years ago, had trouble with some httpS sites(not all). Security protocol changed at the time, and one such site I couldn’t access was https://www.rei.com I have newer phone now, so that is not an issue for me, but posting links only reduces the audience.

I *did* edit the title to make sure the key info is included since the full title was truncated.

I would certainly hope this awesome forum of ours do checks for malicious/spam links. Besides, the reputation of the OP and what the title says should be reasonably adequate to determine the legitimacy of a posting, IMO.

Solution: If you are away from your computer, you should be riding your bike rather than attempting to browse an internet forum.

Unless you are on Team Bollard Busters. Then you should take a walk or go for a run instead.

Just to say: I didn’t intend to be negative here, just wanted to make a suggestion for how these could be more useful and maybe stimulate a bit more conversation.

Link away!

I love you very much and think you are cute. Thank you to the benefit of the forum and myself included that YOU only provide interesting links and let others summarize / comment. I think this indicates a high level of restraint and wisdom on your part. And I’m sure if everyone was subject to your piebald commentaries, they would appreciate just the links as well. Love you hon! Thank you for only being a movie & good critic at home
