We're starting to roll it out on our event pages first and then will be testing it across other profile pages, etc.

I sent an event to my group but I don't see it displayed in calendar view?

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.

Love the new design! Very professional...but I submit an event in Buenos Aires and I can't see it online....it's about Urban Running Tours, could you please tell why could be?

Cheers,

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

wbogaardt — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:15:22 -0500

The calendar is a smaller, but is showing all the integrated applications off to the side necessary? Why not make it a side tab which can slide over as a user mouses over that section. That way you can maintain the larger calendar format. Add to this another tab that allows you to select charts to view your weekly/monthly stats.

Do like the mouse over popup summary of the workouts and journal as it looks better than the old one.

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?

I think we need more action figures depicting the true event!

CT7 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:16:55 -0500

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?

New Page Design

attemptation — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:39:40 -0500

I like the look of the icons and layout...much more cleaned up and less confusing. However, I noticed that after I have added my workout or Daily Log through the Calendar on the Training Log or the sidebar on the Calendar Training Log page, the summary at the bottom where it says Today's Workouts and Today's Daily Log remain blank.

New Page Design

musicwife — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:55:24 -0500

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.

New Page Design

xcspirit — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:23:02 -0500

like the new design but I DON'T like the new size. the old calender was bigger and the new one is this tiny thing in the middle of the page. the old version was better i think.

New Page Design

awilsontriguy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:31:47 -0500

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!

Umm. where are my runs logged? Don't see them listed.

pnice — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:07:48 -0500

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

waynefj — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:20:31 -0500

I have edited, and added 3 bike routes I did the last three days, but althouhg it says success, they are NOT registering on my logout caledar. I hope this glitch is fixed soon! I found them listed , and they are incorpoated into the totals, but the bicycle logo links on the calendar were much better. Can see in anstent when worked out for the month and each bike was a link to the workout details. Please put it back.

alove — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:23:57 -0500

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.

New Page Design

betzgoering — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:37:18 -0500

It's not working! I logged today's run twice just like normal and it's not showing up. I wish you guys would just leave well-enough alone! Quit changing stuff when the old stuff works fine and the new stuff doesnt work!

New Page Design

CFF — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:58:26 -0500

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.

pvarosy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:01:58 -0500

A moment ago I just logged a workout for today, and it doesn't show up on the training calendar for today, but it does show up in my total miles for the month.

Any ideas?

Same for me about not logging my workout! Calendar is to small and all the IPhone crap could go away!

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

KaiserWilhelm — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:41:22 -0500

too much stuff going on on the page... i just want the simple calendar to be able to log my workouts easily... the other stuff just crowds the page

jhmelliott — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 23:01:54 -0500

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!

New Page Design

fatchipmunk — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 23:41:40 -0500

I echo a lot of these comments about the training calendar icons. They look too much alike now in color and form. And it is so strange to see my morning yoga routine show up as playing soccer. Please bring the old icons back!

jr98664 — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:15:33 -0500

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.

kaflurbaleen — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:27:54 -0500

There's too much space at the top of the page. That blue bar with the lonely ad sitting in it? It's pushing the calendar too far down on the page so that I have to scroll down to see it... users HATE scrolling! It looks like I'm not the only one who'd prefer the calendar back to being big and better positioned.

New Page Design

kdt3 — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:37:43 -0500

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 Page Design

anthbailey — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 03:23:06 -0500

Icons - cycle icon looks like the person is riding a BMX as opposed to a road bike that most people who log on this site are probably riding - needs bigger wheels. The icons should represent more accurately what you've done. Swimming and running are ok. Things like Yoga, martial arts, football etc should have their own icon as opposed to a general one of a weigh lifter or a footballer.

Colours of the icons aren't as clear as they were before. The more colours the better. Bring back the green bike rider!

I don't like or ever use the odour logging thing which is clearly just a bit of Fabreeze marketing.

Cheers

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.

New Page Design

tiffer — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:19:45 -0500

I like the new swim and run icons. Not so sure about the cycle icons.

However, I think the calendar is too small with too much screen space being taken up by adverts (even for Champions)

The page also does not will my whole screen (my resolution is 1280x1024). I know this may be quite high but I would expect the page to fill the available resolution.

Also, the heading information for the training calendar does not format/look right and may need adjusting.

I like the new (?) feature under the calendar displaying today workout and log. A useful addition.

On another note I would like to see an icon for a rest day and also the ability to say that I did not complete a future workout. At the moment I just leave them there as not completed but I cannot see at a glance that this is the case.

Keep up the good work though.

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

anthbailey — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:25:21 -0500

The month timetable is too squashed - it was better when it was wider - much easier to use and understand.

New Page Design

trickwon — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:36:04 -0500

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.

New Page Design

willreekie — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:37:56 -0500

Looks like your new design doesn't work. I just tried to log a workout twice and it doesn't show up. The whole thing looks too busy. If it's not broke dont fix it.

cmdrfish — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:46:29 -0500

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.

jonas.bergstrom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:09:12 -0500

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

Is the function that automatically calculated your avg. pace, avg. speed, etc. now gone? I always liked being able to scroll through the calendar and see pace and speed at a quick glance. This no longer shows up when I scroll over my workouts. I realize I can monitor and put in my own pace and speed, but that's more difficult when running multiple different routes. I miss the autocalculate of those items for a quick reference. Otherwise everything seems to work okay. Keep up the good work.

joni_h — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:34:11 -0500

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.

dmalana — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:36:59 -0500

I liked the old calendar where you can just scroll forward or backward to find a specific training month. Not really too crazy about finding a workout the new way.

joecyclone — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 08:11:17 -0500

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.
