You are correct. When I originally created the site I was going to allow people to contact other users via the site. I decided against it as I wasn't sure about the security aspect of it.
Obviously it isn't thought to be an issue given the number of people using the forum to search for running partners.
I hope the site helps people find a partner to run with and possibly make their training more enjoyable and successful.
Well done STARKAS (is that another hobby?) I know nothing about web sites. I think it is a good idea, similar in form to FriendsReunited.
For your information since raising this issue I have about an enquiry a day and introduced 8 people. I do not know if they have made any arrangements though. I am to run with a new person on 11th Jan.
Running Hippo, your password should be a word. The number is your authorisation code so nobody else can log in using your name, I think? If you can't remember your password you might have to register again. Good Luck.
If you click on the reset password link and enter your hippo username your password will be reset.
You should receive a new password in an email which will be a number. Next log back in with your hippo username and the number sent in the email as your password.
You should then be able to access the site.
Once you've got this working there is also a link to change your password. Where again you will need to enter your password(number) and a new password.
Hope this helps if not send me an email and I'll try to help further.
hiya starkas. i tried to get in to find a training partner last week but never received my security autho code. ive just tried again today and have waited about ten mins to get my code.....but nothing yet. how long should the autho code take to arrive ???
I have tried out the training partners website:badly trained monkey:I finally managed to get logged in to register,it then came up with a message saying it would send the auth code to my email:But this has not arrived yet! Another question being the email address it sends it to?Is this the one that is logged in your profile for RW?
Anyway starkas I shall keep trying:Because sometimes it just comes up blank!
Its seems to be going well. Daily site registrations are around 30 and running mates is now up to 80ish. Theres also a new running routes facility so you can share you favourite routes with other users.
A lot of the credit for the site's success so far is due to the good work promoting the site that yourself and 1/2M girl have been doing.

It is another hobby/occupation but I don't have as much time to work on it as the running increases.
I'll try to add some more features to the site to allow people to let us know when they have found a partner to run with.

Error 404
I keep forgetting my password after ive registerd too
We now have 20 people registered on training mates (not bad for two days) and over 100 registered on the site in total.
Hopefullly the register problems should now be fixed.
empty hippo - if you click on the reset password link and enter you original username you can receive a password reset via email.
Thanks

Just logged on to the site and it looks great.
Just one concern - when you click on somones username to view their training session it displays their real name.
I am a bit paranoind about giving out my name online, especially when combined with details about where I live etc. Is there any way round this?

Thanks for raising that. I've now changed it to show the username.
Thanks
Starkas
There are 197 registered on the site in total and registrations are around 20 each day.
If you're not registered yet why not have a look at www.badlytrainedmonkey.com

thanks maisy, ill try other avenues.
I've just had a look at your account and I think the problem may be with your email service provider not liking the email the site generates.
I've had an email from another user with the same email service provider and they also had not received an authcode.
Do you have another email address you could use?
I'll see if I can work out why its not working.
Hippo, good luck let us know how you get on!

Bye daisybop.
if you send me an email I'll check what is registered on the site for you against your actual email address.
