Manchester Depot Board Problems

Depot board users:

Since the FB page died a death, I thought it could be useful to have a public Drive folder to share problems etc. The format I've been working on has just been to draw boxes over a template in Paint (green boxes mean an alternative finish).

Alternatively, people could upload videos etc.

I put a text file in the Drive, but this thread could be an equally valid place to comment on problems.

Hope this is useful to some Manchester people,

Chris.

Is it worth sticking them in graded folders under a board folder (i.e 30/45 > 6A / 6B etc.)?

It'll be much easier to navigate (for me at least). I added two to the Depot page but quickly found it hard to find them (knowing they existed).

I think we need a few solid benchmarks so people stop giving everything 7A!

(I've also found littering my belongings along the LH edge of the board makes people en-route to the loo aware of the person about to splat-down from high up on the board ( :shit: )).

I've changed the folder hierarchy so it's grade based, rather than time-based now.

The folders are now public to edit. If you add a new grade range to the folders, please make the folder public:
-Click "get sharing link"
-Choose "more"
-Change settings to "public"
-Change "anyone can view" to "anyone can edit".

Paul, I'll try your problems during my next board session and suggest grades. I guess one of my benchmarks at the moment is "LH Long" for 7A. It would be good to know how far off I am with that one.

I think people just need to try one another's problems to get some kind of consensus.

Well it'll be good, if someone other than myself adds a problem to the folder!

Tom showed me that if you scroll down on the Manc Depot Board page on FB and click "see other users posts", you then get to see the photos others have added.
