Track Posting Etiquette
Should route guides be posted as tracks or as articles? I want to put up the Rome Ridge - Avalanche Peak traverse?
Also, there are some trips I have planned but can't find tracks for: can I post the track and then edit the description once I've completed the trip?
Feelings on the above?
Also, I seem to be having trouble with the Tracks search feature: a search for "avalanche" returns just the search page, nothing saying there are no results, and no results (even though there should be). The regular search at the top seems to work okay.
It used to be that you couldn't post long descriptions for tracks, hence there are a lot of articles that serve as route guides. My feeling is that if you want to write something personal, write an article. If you want to write a general route guide, add to the track notes. You can definitely add tracks with incomplete information and edit later.
OK thanks for spotting that search bug -- I'll check it out.
Just for your reference, many old articles will be merged into tracks in the coming months.
Also that search bug has been fixed.
