Website Downtime

As some of you probably noticed, the site was recently down for roughly 24 hours. This had also happened in early January. The good news is that the root cause of the issue has been identified and, I believe, fixed.

As always, if you see that the site is down or having any issues please use the contact form or email feedback@running-log.com.

Update: It appears I didn't actually get to the root cause of the issue. Figuring this out is one of my highest priorities right now.

Update 2: With some help from the fine folks at Joyent, I think I've got this tracked down. Time will tell, but if there are more issues it will be my #1 responsibility.

Release Notes - Running-Log.com: v1.2

This release really focuses on the team functionality. If you have any ideas for future improvements or see any issues with the updates, please let us know.

423: Teams | Roster: Implement the basic roster page

The team roster has moved to its own page and is much cleaner, sticking to our design philosophy of simplicity.

424: Teams | Roster: Implement management features

Team administrators (coaches) can now manage their roster much easier. All roster management is done directly on the roster page. You can bulk approve pending join requests and bulk delete members who've left the team. The experience is very intuitive.

444: Teams | Team Overview Page: Implement the Team Overview Page

The team overview page has been completely redesigned. It keeps the popular "recent workouts" and adds a similar "recent forum posts". It also has a "featured member" that changes each day. You can easily get to all the other team pages directly from the overview page.

431: Teams | Workouts: Implement the workouts page

There's a new team page that shows you all of the workouts of all the team's athletes. You can filter and search the workouts, just like your personal workouts page.

427: Teams | Forum: Make thread page prettier

When viewing a thread in the team forums, you'll see an updated layout. Names are now linked to the athlete's log and post times are shown in your local time zone rather than the "3 hours ago" format.

408: Month Calendar: workouts in last week but next month get counted in totals

On the monthly calendar page, workouts in the next month were being included in the monthly totals if they were in the same week that the month ended. This resulted in inaccurate monthly totals.

410: "Remember me" doesn't work on production server

The option to remember your login is back, so that you don't have to enter your password every day when you come to the site to log your workouts.

392: Update browser history when searching workouts

When searching your workouts, the browser history now gets updated properly. You can now go back and forward through your searches.

441: Nav Menu: Sort teams by name

The navigation menu previously showed your teams in a random order. They're now sorted by name.

430: Workouts: Doesn't show duration

The main workouts page now shows duration in addition to distance.
