It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Has anyone ever tried one of these?
I use one of these: https://hobsonseats.com/
It's great. I don't ride without it.
Interesting. I hadn't realised these were a thing.
I get sore hips after long rides. I wonder if this would help.
That might just be bike fit. I used to have sore hips and a sore back until I got handlebars that let me have a more upright position and it helped a ton.
Yeah could be. It's something I'm mindful of and is definitely one way to mitigate the problem.
However, it happens with all three of my bikes.
I've seen a physiotherapist a few times who's given me some exercises to do to build up some strength in the right places and take the pressure off the joint - I've been pretty lazy with those though.
If you adjusted your bikes yourself it's totally possible that all of them aren't adjusted properly. Go to a bike shop to get a professional fitting.
I've ridden the Adamo that started the forked saddle trend over a decade ago. They are comfortable but only in the one position. Double railed seems uncomfortable to sit full upright on.
