Nonathlon 2024/5

[dansims22]

I have a workaround, but I'm not quite sure why it works or is necessary. When you're on the 2025 Ranking page, the URL is "https://nonathlon.com/ranking.php". When you hover your cursor over the Show Times button, the shown URL is "https://nonathlon.com/rankingswitch.php". If you just add the "switch" text to the URL you'll be able to switch back and forth between showing/hiding times.

I have to do something similar when looking at my scoring page. The Edit Scores button doesn't do anything but I can change the URL from "https://nonathlon.com/scores.php" to "https://nonathlon.com/scoresswitch.php" and be able to edit my times. Weird...

Many thanks Dan, that is the only thing that works for me. I am amazed others don't use this, perhaps I am just more of a stalker than most users, but I am always looking for another "target" whether it is another Athletes time or my time in an earlier year.

Now that helped to find the culprit . Chrome or Chromium try to prefetch the page https://www.nonathlon.com/rankingswitch.php when clicking on "Show Times". nonathlon does not seem to like it and sends a 503:

Disabling prefetch does help. You can try it out by visiting this URL here : chrome://settings/?search=preload . There, completely disable "Preload Pages", and the "Show Times" should work (it did for me).

That's a impressive piece of detective work Kay

Thanks bierik, that fixed things for me.

Glad to hear that it helped you fix the problem. Note that the change does affect all sites viewed in chrome: no links on a site will be preloaded into the cache anymore. Personally, I'm against prefetching contents of links. If I do want to follow a link, I'm happy to click on it and then wait for it to load.

It's been a while since we looked at the Nonathlon scores. I have to confess I had completely forgotten I had a score for all events except FM.

[Iain]

Jon, you don't seem to be in Peter's Nonathlon team list at the moment which seems a bit depleted at the moment compared to those on your schedule above.

I've registered for the 2025 season for what it's worth. Could I be added to the team for filtering etc?

I've never seen the point of the list held on the Nonathlon site when we have our own tool. Am I missing something? Happy to put my name down if it would help.

The reason I use it to loomk up performances is your analyser doesn't have times.

Yes I get that Iain, I just never saw the point of the ‘teams’ feature.

At some point maybe I should add a feature to toggle between points and times/distance.

[Iain]

The teams feature just lets me see the FS people I compare myself against without having to pick through the longer list. As it is ranked on total points, people who have only completed some of the events don't get ranked in a useful order to compare those with similar times.

Dave, I've added you (and Jon Taylor) to the team filter.
