It's that time to begin beta testing of our new running log. It isn't completed, but the basic functionality is in place. I anticipate it moving to our server over the weekend and ready to be beta tested.<br><br><b>Who qualifies to be a beta tester?:</b><br>
1. You must be at least a 'Member of the Board' to beta test.<br>
2. Any data put into the beta version <i>may be at risk</i> - do not depend on the beta version as a reliable source yet.<br>
3. You must be willing to regularly communicate on your findings, problems, results, comments, suggestions in a forum environment.<br>
4. The basic version will be running only.<br>
5. You should be running at least 25 miles a week or logging 4 to 5 times a <b>week</b> (to get a good test of the functionality<br>
6. We'd like beta testers who use all the major browsers - when you sign up, please indicate in the pm what browser you'll be using.<br><br><b>How to be selected as a beta tester.<br></b>send me a PM stating you meet all these points. AND an email address where I can contact you. Once we get the log moved to our server and ready to test, I'll send you an email and you can then begin the process.<br><br><br><b>What to expect:</b> A beta version of a running log. This means the log is about 80% ready and you will help design and determine how the last 20% goes and where we end up.<br><br><br>
Thanks<br><br><br><br>

<b>Jill</b>: we're aware of the Firefox issue already - if you click on the tab again for whichever field does it, it'll straighten out. Still working on that.<br><br><b>Joplus:</b> As to the other questions and features - different ones will be added in the final version. We'll discuss that as we get there.<br><br><br>
As far as bugs - I'd actually prefer - IF Possible - to have your browser and OS on every post (perhaps small print on your signature?<br><br><br>
thanks

browser: IE 7<br>
OS: Windows XP v.2002<br><br>
ISSUES:<br><br>
Calendar page<br>
No grid lines on the calendar cells that have dates. When you enter an event a grid line appears on the left side of cell only. (They do appear at all times in Firefox)<br><br><br>
NOTES:<br>
Would be nice to see weekly mileage total in a column in the calendar view.<br><br><span><br><i>I'm downloading Netscape to test in that browser as well.</i></span>

rich, so far so good in firefox, except for the display issues previously noted.<br><br>
I will take a look at IE later on today.<br><br>
I like the way you can see you runs as a monthly view in the calendar. Since I'm rehabbing, I'd be happier seeing my runs in minutes instead of miles (since that is so paltry at this point), but oh well! This isn't meant to boost my ego, right? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
If I am recalling correctly, we will have the option to add other exercise modes in later versions, yes?

I'll post a thread later that will allow us to post some changes for the next cut.<br><br>
Beta testing will continue all this week as developer won't be available until 17th to do any changes. Continue posting problems - observations, etc here and try to work with each other in resolving any quirks.<br><br><br>
You each can log in to one anothers log - so feel free to ask for assistance or input.<br><br><br>
Watch for the Ver 1.2 punch list thread later today or this evening.<br><br><br>
Thanks all!<br><br><br>

hey Rich,<br><br>
I will be using 2 computers (work and home). Is that ok?<br><br>
Just logged from work. XP, IE 7.0<br>
First entry didn't go through. Didn't show on the calendar, but I tried again and it worked out.<br>
I could use the run type as "Training Run", but my schedule does have different types of training runs. My EZ pace is not the same as my recovery pace. I suggest that we add Recovery as an option as well (??)

let me clarify... work is XP and home is Vista

Ah, I input Saturday's run, then logged out after a delay (a long delay, really) then logged back in and this is how my calendar page displayed:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2228/2100392739_299b4c6272.jpg?v=0" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
And nothing is "click-able" on this page. I'm going to close the tab in my browser, then try logging in again to see what happens.<br><br>
Using IE 7, Windows XP 2002 SP2

Ah, all better after closing that tab and opening a new one by clicking on "Running Log" at the top of the fora page.

what happens if you 'refresh'?

altoids

· #40 · Dec 10, 2007

Testing in IE7, I also observed the lack of calendar gridlines.<br><br>
I was able to add, edit and delete entries easily in both browsers with no issues so far.<br><br>
Did I mention I like the monthly view? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> I like how easy it is to see you've added a run to the wrong day, and edit it.
