It looks like they've taken out the entries on the day line on the events section!
On one event, it lists postal closing date, postal entry? online entry? etc, and others, but takes the very key can you enter on the day part out.
Jokers. Although less and less races like to offer this these days. I suspect a lot of events would allow you to pay on the day, as people would just run for free anyway. That's what one of my old clubs used to do, allow it, but not publicise it.
Hi guys thoughts on new web not 100% convinced bit to much white, so font colour need to be darker and big spaces and looking around on the events page looking for races to enter , miss the option to search for events regional (unless it there and i have missed it) don't really want to go through 5 -6 different counties separately, each time
I was rootling around the events section and some of the races specify entry on the day. Maybe it's an optional line now. As for the acres of white space, sometimes I get them with the forum squished up to the right and sometimes the forum is spread across the page (like now). I wonder if that's the ad blocker at work.
For those who find the default font too small, you can use the screen font size in Firefox under settings (hamburger menu), and it applies to just this site even after a reboot. I've got it set to 110%.
My home page hasn't changed since the relaunch. "Ten long runs to make you better, faster, stronger." If the poor design, confusing navigation or limited functionality don't kill it off, the lack of content certainly will.
So is there a 'new threads/new discussions' section any more? Recent discussions seems to consist of threads started in 2014 or thereabouts. And why have they given me such a horrible-looking face?!
We have stopped using this site for paid entry as Eventbrites terms and conditions are to draconian and your data is not safe I had our legal guy look at the T&Cs not good I wouldnt recommend entering any events on that site
They really need to define what the levels are, or what the point of these badges are.
I suspect that if we've reached level 3 after about 2 weeks of this site being up and running in this format, then there might be about a 1000 more levels.
Just so you guys don't think you're special or favoured, I've been promoted to level 3 as well. And RW have sent me 4 emails and 4 notifications to let me know!
Edit: it's up to 5 now. Enough already RW, I get the picture.
Also, quite often when I visit the last post under each forum is a spam for passports or driving licences. And next time, they're back to proper posts. So clearly someone is working hard to keep the spammers at bay.
I
really don't like this new Events page, seems very non-intuitive,
much harder to simply scroll through and find a race, and as for
entering through RW.............
I'm still getting notifications and emails about level 3. On the verge of adding RW to the spam list in my email prog. I have already unticked all the notification options yet still they come.
Edit: as I typed that, another two arrived. Getting rather pissed off now.
I'm still getting level 3 notifications. Seems like RW is now being run by robots. Agree about Events Page too, very user unfriendly and search engine produces all sorts of rubbish.
on the events page, if you select 'triathlon', then the next drop down still only lists running options like 10k and half mara..... not impressed... I'll look elsewhere.
lets be honest.... its all prep for an Ironman on my 100th birthday
Our 13-year old thread has become impossible to find..........sad to kill off what is obviously a bunch of long term clients.......... complete muppets at RW Towers it seems.........
I'm level 3 too. Given the notification shows a podium, the only way to go is level 2 then level 1. Would be nice to know what it means, as it's probably the only chance I'll ever have of getting on a podium.....
I've become a level 2. I don't know if this means I'm going forwards or backwards. Why is everyone else level 3? You lucky bastards. Is this like the levels in Scientology? When we reach level 8 do we get to meet Tom Cruise?
Wouldn't you know it just this minute I've been promoted to level 3 - Operating Thetan. The icon on the message though is a podium with 1, 2, 3 on it. Surely from 2 down to 3 is a demotion? And apparently I've got 92 points. Am I a hedgehog?

It appears to now be independent of RW. Seems daft though to have no link to it on the site.

And like others have said, I worry about all that white space soon becoming all that ad space...
I expect that one day, I might even find out what that is, and how much I was suffering only being level two previously.

not good

Ditto to the "level 3" business.

Like those 5 likes and suchlike...
