Welcome Ron.

To get added to the Metreboard, you need a Concept2 log (linked above) and just choose Freespirits as your affiliation when you click on the Team Tab.

Looking forward to watching your progress, hope the new start goes well.

Thank you, Iain.

So, I’ve set up my C2 log with Free Spirits as my affiliation and my team. I see my rows listed in Free Spirits on the C2 site, but not in the Meterboard.

Ron, you may well be the first new member of the team since we made some changes to the meterboard. let me have a look and see what is going on. Don't worry, all of your rows for this season will be counted once the tool picks you up.

Welcome aboard.

As I suspected, the code to add new rowers is not working properly. I owe you one for pointing this out. I have sort of found the issue but it looks a bit tricky to fix. I'll let you know when it is working properly. By the way, I have things half working on our development server and can tell you that you immediately jump above me on the Meterboard....so it may take longer than expected to get things fixed :lol: :lol:

Jon

P.S. If you have some time to put in a session today than why not register at http://www.c2ctc.com/ making sure you select Free Spirits as your team and row this month's event which is 4x1000m with 2 minute rests between them. You register using the link towards the top of the page. Quite a few of us compete in this event each month and we keep a table of scores each year to keep track of each other.

Thank you much for working so quickly to fix the issue. I’ll have a look at the challenge you linked too. Unfortunately, I’ve already rowed an 8x500 so won’t be able to handle an additional session today. I trust this goes into multiple days and I didn’t lose a good opportunity to compete.

Also, HA! No worries about the total meters I log, the numbers don’t reflect just how terribly slow I am. I’ve never been one for speed, so I’m not sure how valuable I’ll be in speed related challenges. But I do enjoy the competition, so if you don’t mind a slow rower, then I’m game.

Thanks again.

The 4x1k finishes today, but don't worry there is the theoretically easier 4min row event starting tomorrow. Just follow the same link.

Ah Ha! That explains a lot. We (Aussie battler and Tina Gallasch) are back after a hiatus of several (many) years. Really looking forward to getting onto the meter board again. We’d forgotten how much fun training is! I’m known to be a masochist.

Welcome back Tina. Can I just check something with you, did you re-register with Concept2? I can see you on the meterboard database but the concept2 id on there is not the same as the one you currently have on the Concept2 website.

I have put what I think is corrected code into the live website. This should show up any new rowers who have never rowed with us before (welcome!). This has involved some changes to some of the most complex meterboard code, so please shout if anyone sees something which doesn't look right. Fingers crossed I haven't broken anything. [-o< #-o

So, I see me in the meterboard, thank you!!!

^O^

But, I see a bit of a problem. The meterboard is showing my actual meters rowed. You don’t have a Double() function you can throw in there, do you?

Hi Jon, Concept 2 have just amalgamated my old log book with my previous log book; my logbook ID is 1694180; and it shows all my recent meters as well as the historical records. User name is belairtina. I;m not sure what I should do to change it; or if I should change it.

I see you haven’t looked into the Premium membership option. That service is available for the bargain, introductory price of $999.99 per week. Let me know if you want to know more.

No need to change anything. Let me figure out how I get you back in the meterboard from this end.

That's great Jon, thanks - and the same for Wayne Gallasch (Aussie Battler). Greatly appreciated.
