Sorry, I have been away and missed this discussion. Let me have a look and see why you are not appearing. The Meterboard is very temperamental when it comes to duplicate names etc

Give me a few days as things are quite busy at this end.

Just comparing your profile to mine, your team is set to FS but your affiliation is not - try the above link to see if that shows you're part of the affiliated team members.

Ian

Thanks for looking into this. You are right - my profile is set to "Free Spirits" but I am not appearing on the affiliated list. Do you think the problem lies with C2 or am I missing something?

Rewgards,

Richard

If you have leave affiliation (like mine), it seems like a c2 query to me.

Good advice - I have emailed C2 and we will see what they say.

Thanks again

While you are doing that I will check to see if the Meterboard is at fault. When you say you "rejoined" the team, did you create a new C" id and/or a new Free Spirits one?

Richard when you edit your profile on C2 (https://log.concept2.com/profile/98729/). Have you set Free Spirits to the team on the "affiliation" tab of your profile? If so, have you tried changing it and then changing it back to Free Spirits?

In answer to JonT my C2 ID is the same as ever and I have tried exiting "Free Spirits" again and then re-re-joining - to no avail! I have emailed C2 and await a reply. Thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Richard

It now appears that C2 make a distinction between "Team" and "Affiliation". Apparently I had joined the team but not altered the affiliation in my profile. I have now taken care of the latter so we shall see if it makes a difference.

Hello from Bay City MI

Post by johnzilla »

Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself. 🙂

I'm a beginner that caught the rowing bug in January 2021 while living in Kingston, WA. I've since relocated to Bay City, MI and am restarting after a year-long hiatus. I'm glad I found a group of like-minded individuals, I am hoping I can contribute and that it will help keep me motivated. I'll be tackling the Concept2 "Dog Days" challenge beginning Aug 1 and I need to work up to 5k/day at least to meet the last week of August's goal of 40k. It has been fun reading some of the forum posts, it is really cool to see how supportive everyone is! 👍 I think I have the link to Free Spirits set up correctly in my Concept2 logbook, I will keep an eye on it in case I messed something up.

Feel free to rummage around the forum and if you have any questions, don't be shy...

Welcome John. Things like Dog Days are a great motivator to get on the rower and put in some distance. Good luck with the challenge :fswink:
