General format of Beta forum

Before Beta forum becomes full of so many posts/topics and unmanageable as to what/where we should look for posts, would it be possible for some organisation..

Ie: could we have at least a version header so All posts pertaining to that one version are all under that versions header.

I would like to suggest that you make sure all members have access to the Applications page.Then move all TTA posts into the Mobile Apps.This will make TDA Q&A less congested and confusing.

3 pages of 41 reports in Q&A. There has been a fix for many of these reports .It is a confusing mess .If this was a ship it would be sinking.

This Tacx Desktop App forum is now becoming to long,congested and confusing.Sub folders should be added,starting with WINDOWS and MAC.Then a folder for new Versions when the next Beta is released.

Applications already has a folder for mobile Apps(TTA)but only myself and one other have used this for reports?

One of the many things that I do not like about Facebook, Twitter and many other (anti) social media, is they just turn into a continuous unorganized stream of unconsiousness with little content organization. I already see a lot of that here. One of the things I liked about phpBB forums (like the old Tacx forum and the new unofficial forum) is they tended to be more organized and moderator-controlled.

I would like to see more of that here as I have a lot of trouble finding and tracking topics.

As pointed out by David i too test TTAmobile App but do not /cannot see/don't have access to..

the aforementioned mobile app forum..

previous forums we reported in much more organised.. each version had it's own header/forum and within that header/forum where specific topics to post in for each area/part of the TDA application

Ie:

Ver 1:20:2:0.

Install issues

Device Connection

Dashboard

Settings

Films Download issues

Films riding issues

Gps issues

Etc Etc...

I would say a TDA version header is all that is needed unless future updates are going to have a number of new features to test or all the sub folder topics will be empty.

Hi Dave Rowden thanks for the feedback. Are you saying not everyone has access to all the application pages? I assumed everyone has access to all section in the Tacx Beta tester environment. Let me know because I have not seen TTA posts under TDA threads for example?

0 Dave Rowden over 3 years ago in reply to Derck Hoogeboom

I only know Malfukt does not have access to the Application page(see the above post)I may have got confused with the Mac reports in TDA threads.If that is the case then simply add folders for Windows and Mac in Tacx Desktop App Q&A.

I don't have access to TTA page.. i havn't posted about TTA in the TDA forum as wouldn't wish to add to mess it will become
