Concept2 Forum

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area - I may have missed an entire discussion that asked and answered this request already.<br /><br />Would it be possible to add an icon of some type next to personal best times / distances in the mylog section? It has a spot for me to click to "rank" a time, but I'm forgetful and I don't necessarily remember which is my PB - I'd hate to rank a non-PB time and remove a PB time due to my addled brain. (I know that I've just started and have few times, but I anticipate this problem in the future - I have a feeble memory ).<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />-John

John,<br /> You could click on the link to your rankings, which will show you all of your ranked times for this season.<br /><br />David<br />

Please understand, I'm not saying that this is some critical feature that must be added. Clearly, the ranking section would show me the times that I've ranked.<br /><br />However, remember that it won't show me my <i>fastest times</i>. It will show me the times that I've <i>chosen to rank</i>. I just thought it might be nice to have to software do the thinking here. I'm new to erging, so the PBs can come pretty fast. Frankly, I had a PB earlier this week and didn't even realize it until a while later. The feature that I described above would have highlighted my new best time and I would have been quick to rank it. (I take my motivation where I can get it. )<br /><br />I thought it might be a simple programming addition - something like <br /><br />if newtime <= SBtime, then show SB icon <br />and<br />if newtime <= SBtime then SBtime = newtime<br /><br />I'm the first to admit that I know nothing about programming and I might be suggesting a beastie that would only benefit... well, me.

I wonder why it shows rank next to slower times in the first place. I assume this was easier to code. But I would think the best/easiest display would be for the rank button to only appear next to qualifying distances that are faster than any previously ranked time for that season. <br /><br />Then "rank" would only appear when you have a new PB for that season.

That wouldn't, necessarily be a PB, it could just be a SB (season's best).<br /><br />Take my 500m time, for example, I have a PB of 01:39.6 (set 12th Oct 2004, last season), but a 2005 SB of 1:42.3 (set on 4th July 2005). [Yes I know it's time I worked on improving it, but I'm concentrating on getting to exactly 1,000,000m by 10th Sept 2005, at the moment.]<br /><br />If the website wanted to stop me ranking any time worse than 1:39 it would need to hold all my PBs (from all earlier seasons) in a database record and compare new times against historical times. [This would be possible, that type of programming isn't rocket science.]<br /><br />On the other hand, it could do this for a 2005 season's best, by just comparing the new time to earlier ranked times (which it already holds in the current season database record). So when I pull better than 1:42.3 it recommends ranking the new time. I like that idea, I end up keeping an Excel spreadsheet with my SBs/PBs. <br /><br />I'd also like to see 1609m (mile) as a official ranking distance.<br /><br />
