Comments and comment notification
When you create a trip on MTBGuru, you can enable other users to add comments by adjusting the ‘Trip Settings’ in the sidebar (see screenshot below):
Click ‘Change’, then switch the ‘Allow Comments’ field to ‘Everybody’. By default, comments are enabled but only registered users of MTBGuru can leave comments, in order to avoid comment spam.
If a trip is public, also its comments will be visible for anyone visiting the site.
You can get notified by e-mail when someone left a comment on one of your trips by our ‘Comment Notification’ feature. Go to ‘User Settings’ (sidebar), and you’ll find the ‘New Comments Notification’ field (screenshot below):
There are three settings. ‘Never’, in case you don’t ever want to receive a notification e-mail, ‘Immediately’, so you’ll receive an e-mail for every new comment that gets posted on one of your trips, and ‘Max. once per day’, then you’ll receive at most one notification e-mail per day. The latter is the default setting.
Leaving comments works pretty much like leaving comments on blogs – you can use html tags to insert hyperlinks etc. Moreover, you can also use Textile to mark up the comment text.
Finally, trip owners have the ability to delete comments on their trips.
