Lobby: [Sink] New Page Design

When will we see it?

hi great idea was asked to put in a map to our event so traced out a map and the expected to see submit or similar-could not see how I could download the map I had just created into our race event. How do you do that?

cheers

Hi Danocal,

Once we update the group page we'll be displaying this relationship in a more cross-linkable good way.  We're going to be rolling out the new design over the coming couple of weeks.

I preferred the old workout type calendar icons.  The new ones look kind of freaky to me.

I like it

I did not like the action figure used for yoga.  It looks more like a person playing soccer.  Why is there a ball in the picture?

The calendar is too small, I agree, too much real estate given to the apps (which are not functional on the site, just links really). Calendar should be bigger than before.

The new icons are a step back in terms of artwork. Although they may seem better, from a design standpoint, they look more stock and gimmicky.

Plus, I redesigned the logo - I'd love for you guys to maybe use it. What do you think?

 

i like the layout just fine, but i cannot log a new workout into my calendar

it tells me i am not logged in, and i must be to log a workout, so although i am already logged in, i go through that step again, and it still won't let me log my run. i don't know if this is due to the new design or what, but i am not happy about it. 

First - love the site, been using it for 2 years, recommend it often.

*  I liked the old icons better, especially sports/activities [the new one looks to much like the runner]

*  calendar too small in my opinion

*  too much space devoted to the apps on the right.  would be great if I used an iphone, but I don't

*  Nice touch to have today's workouts! 

*  Perfect for me would be:  1]  bigger calendar   2] few pages to input a workout  3]  customizable workout input fields [give us ability to remove fields]  4] return to my training log view after inputing workout

*  Overall still awesome!

I do NOT like the new figure icons (ie- run icon is too similar to sports icon).  calendar too small also.  otherwise not bad.

i like the old logos better, they were simplier and more stylized. the new logos need more color to distinguish the different activities types from one another, they are a little more muted and monochromatic now.  also, new calendar is a little smaller and more condensed, so things seems a little more squished together.

Uggh!  Why do you keep changing something that is working just fine!  Leave it alone already.  I hate the graphics and the squished calendar.  It was easier on the eye before an simplier to differentate among the icons.  The biker looks like a deamon on a motorcycle!  Overall the entire page looks way to busy.  It was much cleaner and clear to read before.  Bring back the old please.  Also, I tried to log my workout today and it's not working. 

Ditto Musicwife.  Same things happening to me.

The calendar is too small, and I don't use an iPhone, so I don't care about that stuff.

I quite like the busier dashboard approach.  

 I have a couple of longstanding gripes though that still exist in the new version.

1. Because I'm in New Zealand it always shows the current date as yesterday (some sort of timezone function required?)

2. The daily log always defaults my AM/PM weights to 355.29257 - very annoying!

I agree 100% with what CFF said: "Uggh! Why do you keep changing something that is working just fine! Leave it alone already. I hate the graphics and the squished calendar. It was easier on the eye before an simplier to differentate among the icons. The biker looks like a deamon on a motorcycle! Overall the entire page looks way to busy. It was much cleaner and clear to read before. Bring back the old please. Also, I tried to log my workout today and it's not working." It worked just fine before. Now my bike rides aren't even showing up. The same is true of the new mapping utility. The old one worked perfectly for me, not to mention the fact that it did most of the training log automatically. Now I have to trick it to work like it used to, and it's still nowhere near as good. I used the oldest mapping utility up until the day that the "create_old" link no longer worked, and I can clearly see why. Please stop 'improving' all of these things when there was never anything wrong with them. The new calender is way to squished and hard to read. The new icons also are nowhere near as good as they were previously. I don't use an iPhone, so the app lists are just a huge waste of space for me. Please bring back the old training log, and the mapping utility while you're at it—I don't even care if it's not supported—it was still much easier to use.

I am confused!  I just started using this, so maybe I have just forgotten what I was doing before.  I my first two workout entries it put an icon on my workout calendar.  On my third entry, it doesn't look like the workout saved - no icon.  It is recorded in the miles and on the main page though.  Is this me or are you tweaking the way this works? 

New layout is fine.  Looks slicker.  I've had no probs using it to view or log events. 

I did notice that naviagting between pages required a refresh yesterday.

However I'm waiting for the Windows Mobile compatuible verison of the site so I can log on the move rather than wait to get to my desktop PC.

Much easier navigation between my main pages. I'm starting to use the daily log and it is pretty useful.

i dont like the new icons used on the calander. it's hard to distinguidh between some of the activities at a quick glance. I would recommend changing the color of the icon at the very least. I would also like to chose simple icons for each sport/activity. something just like stars or balls to keep all the sports that are lumped under the broad sports category seperate.

Well, the calendar does not show my current ride that I did this morn on Fri 17th. I logged it as usual thru "my rides" then add to training. Then I goto calendar it says I am not logged in, so I go to log-in page & it automatically says I am logged in then I go back to training log it says I am not logged in... a circle... bogus. It is not logging my rides. SO far I DONT LIKE IT.

I'm pretty neutral about the new design, but I do appreciate the effort of developing the site further. The only comment I have on a level of specifics is that I would prefer if the iPhone stuff was slightly smaller (I don't use an iPhone, but even if I did, it does take up a bit too much space on the screen).

In the training log:

 I get a message that I'm not logged in despite the fact that I am indeed logged in and I can see my training log.

 All in all, thanks for the effort put in developing the site. It is a highly appreciated tool.

 Best Regards

 Jonas

 

The three-column design on the training log page (with the calendar) is too cluttered.  I think you should switch to two-columns or make one of the three columns narrower.  (Right now, two are fairly wide and one is skinnier... it really should be the other way around.)

 Also, (new feature request?) it would be nice if we could make our own workout templates to save into our training log.  For example, I know that I often run the same route (with the same distance, time, etc) several times per week.  It would be nice to not have to enter in all that info every single time.

The calendar is too small... can you make the ads on the right side smaller?

In general I like the new layout. I agree with the non-iPhone group. A lot of real estate given up for that. Maybe base on preferences?

The new icons do seem a bit bulky, especially on the smaller calendar. Different icons for planned vs completed workouts would make it easier to see at a glance.

I like the Today's workouts and Today's log below the calendar. For site performance it would be nice to edit the workouts in that space rather than load a new page, then have to reload again to come back to the training log.
