Travelstories and Blogposts are orphaned!
-
One of the most important USPs of MyRoute-app is: it's not a simply route planning or navigation tool like many others on the market - it's a complete plattform for all things. Additionally to main funkctions like planning and navigation, there are also plenty of routes shared in the community - some of them double checkd by Route Experts. And there is also the possibility to share Posts and Travelstories for each user with the community in a Blog area, to make the platform interesting for many people.
But for some time, Posts and Travelstories in the Blog area are orphaned! Means: if you create such a blog, no one is able to find it!
Since an update, the web page "Activities" shows only "upcomming public events", current amount of Routes and Tracklogs, current amount of users, groups and moments. And populates recent moments.
I created nice informative aricles by big effort - but currently, no one can find Travelstories any longer!In Past, the Page "Activities" offers a select menue to search for Tracks, Routes and Travelstories.
Currently, it's only possible to search for events (and possible limitation of intended vehicle).- Why this has been changed - issue or strategy?
- Why area for Posts and Travelstories is a Directory and not a sub domain?
Because there is a sub domain https://blog.myrouteapp.com which seems to be intended as renewal of blogs with should have been started in April 2024 - but it's empty. It never became new content (only a couple of old posts are visible)
But vice versa, in the forum (which is a sub domain: https://forum.myrouteapp.com) - there are the categories: Rides and Travel stories which seems to be equivalents to main page Blogs area.
- In category Travel stories, there is an introduction, how to create a story in the main page Blogs area and to prepare a link to, here in forum category Travel stories. This is a bit like german saying: "from below through the chest into the left eye"
- by the way: the given link in the introduction
https://support.myrouteapp.com/support/solutions/articles/12000026029-manual-travel-stories-
doesn't work! - The possibilities/functions in forum category Travel stories is very poor in comparison with functions in main page area Blogs!
- deleted articles are still visible (but not readable) in the list, which is not nice
- if you are using a Mozilla Web Browser and are creating a Travel story or Ride articel and you are going to upload it - sometimes an error occures: vorbidden!
May this issues will be eliminated by big rework of web page next time.
Or our powerfull genious developers can mitigate it sooner?
Please @Corjan-Meijerink could you check the issues, and tell us about the future of Blog Posts and Travel Stories and why it's (currently) doubled in forum subdomain.
