UPDATED FRIENDS LIST!!!

Love, love, love the changes! I've been hopping around and sending inspires all morning. I have gotten used to having  friends on their own page so that does not bother me at all anymore. I see your point about those long lists in the training log that went on forever. And I just realized how much easier it is too add friends. I quit adding people as friends on the old BT just because I never wanted to take the time to do it. Now it is just one click - awesome. AND viewing who has me as a friend is so easy too!

Agree though that the inspire box popping up first thing is a bit annoying. I also like to read about a persons week before I write anything in an inspire or it would always be the same generic "good job on your training" thing.

Really, really happy with the changes though!

I don't have a direct link in my training log. I just use the friends tab under community and it takes me right there. You can also click that big blue heading in Ron's message marked "Direct Link to Friends".

THANK YOU!!!

My only comment is that when that inspire opens up it can cover the workout / blog comments that are there and it isn't something we can "drag" to another part of the screen so we can actually look at what we may want to comment on.   Otherwise--A huge THUMBS UP!!

One of the reasons that BT is one of the best sites around is the responsiveness to user needs -- Ron, it really speaks to what you're trying to build here that you're so good about taking suggestions and turning it around and giving us even MORE than what we wanted.  

I second absolutely LOVING being able to see the number of inspires on a persons log!

I would agree that the link underneath the avatar to "Go to Training Log" should just go there and not open the inspire box.

And a question about inspires:  when I add one, there's now a date at the top "5/24/2013 : 5/24/2013" ... not exactly sure what that's denoting?  If it's the day the inspire is on, then why not just one date instead of repeating it?  

Ron, I noticed that if I click on the person's pic in my friends list that I get the Training Log, Album, Race Log, etc. list and the ability to see their profile by hovering over their picture on the right. But it took me to my profile when I clicked it. I agree with the inspire box covering the training log that was mentioned by others as well.

However, I also echo the statement I've seen here a few times, Thank You! Both for your willingness to listen and for acting on the wishes of the users.

THANK YOU RON!

Another vote for not needing/wanting the inspire box to automatically open. 

I like the changes and also one more vote for not having the inspire box automatically open.

One more suggestion - when you click on someone's pic it takes you to their profile page. On their profile page, could you include another link to take someone to his or her training log? When I'm at someone's profile page it seems like a dead-end.

Or just have the pic link take you to his or her training log?

Yes. This is a big thing. it is happening, especially to someone who is not your friend. It seem the Profile page is a complete dead end. The only way I have found to get to said persons log, is to look at their 'recent posts' in the forums, then go to that post, THEN from there, highlight their name to get the menu box to pop up to click on their training log. Way too many steps.

Clicking on the username below the pic takes you to log and opens up inspire me

Clicking on the icon with number opens it up directly on the page without going to freinds log.

I may need make that a little more clear somehow as avatar name don't usually work that way (going to log and opening up inspire box).  But I do have to ask, aren't there cases where you would want to 'just view the inspire box' and not go back to their log?  Stay on the friends page and just view/update inspires? Example, it's later in the day, you have been there...you just want to get caught up on any new inspires...?

I think that the RED icon for the new inspires is great! It brings up the inspires without the whole log. Love that.

But in general, if I'm clicking on a friend,or friend-of-friend, I just want to read the log, then decide to inspire. I really do not like the automatic inspiring box popping up.

Can we get a "Friends list" tab/button and a "training log" button on the profile pages? I feel like it's a dead end.

Totally agree with this.  It's really weird to just have the inspire box open up without being taken to the log to see what's going on.
