Subtle, incremental changes to BT site appearance

Hi, Alice. Thanks for the heads up.

It's been a very long time since I've been an active user of the training logs and participant in the forums. Can you tell me where I can find information about privacy of my data and profile? Is my information sold or shared with vendors, advertisers, anyone? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thanks for the head's up -- I definitely noticed and kept trying to see how I had inadvertently changed my browser settings such it was looking different. It's nice to know that it wasn't me.

ETA:  the font in the inspires is awfully big now. I'd love to see it return down a size or so.

Whoa, big font alert!!!  I won't need my reading glasses anymore. 

Actually a lot easier to read, but looks like a square 1997 website now.  Doesn't render to the monitor size at all.

I dunno - maybe it's just me or the bigger font makes it feel a little more narrow.  It's not a deal breaker.

The font goes outside of the margins in the Power/HR section for cycling.  See below.

Thanks for the changes. It's a nice look.

I think that maybe the notifications aren't notifying properly? If I have inspires or PMs waiting, it still says zero in the red bar.

Came here to report the same thing -- its says "0" but the drop down tells me I have 1 inspire.

My $0.02 -- I liked having the inspire notification broken out and always visible instead of having to go to a dropdown to see if there are any new ones. If you need a screenshot, let me know. 

Also - the inspire font looks great, thanks!

Agreed, I'm not sure it is notifying properly:

Do not love that the inspire notification was removed. As you know, inspires are a huge part of what makes BT go round and round. If you can't see that you have an inspire at first glance (like you could up until now), that's a step in the wrong direction, IMO.

I get the same thing. Like others, I'd prefer not to go to a drop down just to see if i have an inspire. Though I do realize if you are in your log, it shows the same way, so it is obvious.

im seeing the inspire #s again!

Yup - seeing the count again. Thanks!!

Now, just being a bit picky...

It used to be that the count that was always visible, would update as you read your inspires if you clicked on that link. So - let's say I had 4 inspires waiting for me, 1 on one day, 3 on another day. I would click on that (4), read that first inspire, and when I closed the inspire dialog box the (4) would update to (3). I could click again, it would bring me to the next three, I would read them, and when I closed that inspire dialog box, it would update that main count to (0). 

Now - the main inspire number (the "(4)" next to the envelope) does not update until I refresh the page.

The dropdown inspire count updates, but after I read the first one, there's a black box at the end of that line. I didn't get a screen shot, but it's like:

3 new inspires _

And now I can't get the background color to match back up, lol, but just wanted to report that. It's not a big deal, but I'd love to have that main inspire count automatically update after clicking on that link to read the inspire (if this all makes sense....)

I've noticed this as well, the Inspire count does not update until I refresh BT.

Alice,

In future updates, IMHO, I think it would be much better to organize the access to the calculators that BT has for users to be available from the TRAINING LOG drop list, e.g. add "My Zones".   Scattered about BT here are two calculators to organize:

1. Cycling Critical Power(FTP) (and HR MLSS) here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/cycling-zone-calc.asp
2. HR Zone calculators/zone manager at: User/Setting/Training Log Setting/HR Zone manager (never understood why this had to be 4+ levels deep)

Then perhaps add something for swimming such as a Critical Swim Speed calculator like here http://www.swimsmooth.com/training.html but with adjustable yardage setting.

At the very least it cleans things up a bit for people to use.  Just a thought...

This has happened again? I had been seeing this on my Chromebook at home, but since it didn't happen on Chrome on my Windows machine, I decided it was a personal problem. Now, I'm seeing both on the Chromebook and on my windows machine running Chrome.
