Feature Requests

MarkyMarkMark (3M) says: I'd be very happy with "Conditions", "Surface" and "State of Mind" to be editable in the same way? Would be much easier to use on my mobile phone. You could probably loose the "Edit" button, then (almost). Or shrink it?
fetcheveryone says: FYI if you click the surface, it turns into a dropdown?
MarkyMarkMark (3M) says: Except I don't even see the other fields to change unless I first click on the "Edit" button? At least, not on my phone & tablet. (Both Samsung.)Should I?
fetcheveryone says: Yeah, I didn't say anything about the other fields
Nightjar says: Voting yes on the basis that the 2nd edit screen out to be retired.

Bright Strider says: Or a check box to include virtual races.

CrispByNature says: This would save adding a separate mile in the opposite direction I think
Bright Strider says: Bidrectional would give one Fetch mile each way.

um says: I've voted no to this, but would support (vote yes) for something along the lines of 'ability to flag a zone to be notified of all visits'
AndyS says: FWIW, I voted yes to this - but in a choice between this and um's suggestion, I'd vote for the latter.
AndyS says: FWIW, I voted yes to this - but in a choice between this and um's suggestion, I'd vote for the latter.
ChrisHB says: I think that is a fine suggestion and itwould be better still if notifications were only once per year for each visitor.

fetcheveryone says: Confused here. Doesn't the trader portfolio show all this?
Salty Dog says: like a 'trading history'?
BarefootEm says: Sorry Fetch, I mean after you've sold them... Like I bought ishep this morning, sold for 3 points, but I've also bought and SD others today, it would be interesting to see who earn me what points and what my profit per day is
BarefootEm says: Yes, a trading history! Much better more concise answer!

Rosehip says: Yes please - I was about to suggest the very same
Sharkie says: It puts me off following anyone.

AndyS says: I like the injury reminders - but I also have a couple that aren't likely to improve. I'd like to be able to upvote this a kazillion times.
HappyG(rrr) says: Yip, agree Elsie. Had fed this back to Fetch, but not via Feature Request. Good suggestion. Will Yes this.
HappyG(rrr) says: Yip, agree Elsie. Had fed this back to Fetch, but not via Feature Request. Good suggestion. Will Yes this.

AndyS says: Given my current level of "fitness", I'd also like badges for demotion
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: UTMOST seems like little more than a passive league table - does anyone "play" it?
MisterTea says: I’m playing it at the moment - see some of last weeks blogs

Fragile Do Not Bend says: Yes, or just a way to list threads that I want to find again but I don’t necessarily want to go back and read all the unread posts. Often I can’t remember exactly what the thread is called in order to find it via the search box

CumbriAndy says: Believe this is in hand

cerid says: Yes please
Eynsham Red says: This would not stop replies to that user’s comments being seen, so muting would not necessarily remove further dialogue on that post.
Nightjar says: That's the Internet for you. Better you ask for private forums where an admin chooses who takes part.

njosmith says: Copied from comment in 1113 to mark it an actual request (but I was going to add it anyway promise!)

Pothunter says: Not a 100% solution but on a PC holding Ctrl when clicking any link opens it in a new tab
paul the builder says: Does that work for you in the gallery? Doesn't for me.

The Mussile says: Even just a pause until further notice option would be good

Snoot says: Also a little corner maker to show a zone has a photo when your looking at map view?
westmoors says: That's assuming the photo was taken in the area and not a McGoo special

CrispByNature says: How about the ability to send a big thumbs up when your opponent updates their score?
BarefootEm says: As your current opponent, thought I should say hi! 👋 Also think this is a great idea, sometimes posts can get lost on the main forum thread unless you both happen to be online at the same time.
iwaswill says: Shall we mark this feature as complete yeah I did like Crisps idea, some sort of small interaction to say hi / enourage but maybe chat is too much.
iwaswill says: ...I better get planning my routes you are doing well Em.
BarefootEm says: I like the thumbs up idea, or maybe a series of a few emojis you can can pick from?

fetcheveryone says: Please, what is an Olympic lifting PB?
ITG 🇮🇸 says: Max weight you can lift, e.g., a deadlift, power clean, etc. We can put in our own labels.
ITG 🇮🇸 says: So my (sad) current max deadlift is 57kg, push press is 35kg, back squat is 40kg, etc.
Ness says: Is that for recording one rep Max lifts? For my deadlifts I regularly lift 54kgs for reps but have lifted more when I did a one rep max test.
Corrah says: I like the 1 rep max idea. Notes could include any other info.

Bright Strider says: Wrt to lack of local knowledge, the players might be on holiday or visiting for work, both of which might mean that the territory is unfamiliar and that their time is not theirs alone.
StuH says: Too tempting for some to bump a bug because the CBA to go down that cul-de-sac. I was shocked at the amount accessible points blocked when I scrolled around the map.
Bright Strider says: Well, completely. This feature would avoid the CBAers 'polluting the pool' by abusing the inaccessible option. If they CBA, then any hope that they will remove the inaccessible marker having marked something accessible as inaccessible is probably vain. Ho
Bright Strider says: However, a 'bump' link would give them a quick way of not polluting the pool.
Bright Strider says: 'Your circle, your rules,' is oft repeated in the context of marking bugs as inaccessible. However, there is only one set of inaccessible markers, not one set per player; the maxim is not 'your circle, your inaccessible markers, your rules'. Playing by 'y
Bright Strider says: Playing by 'your circle, your rules' does not have to pollute the pool, and 'bump' would make keeping it clean a bit easier, so more likely to be done.
Nightjar says: I'd say lack of local knowledge could be considered the same as temporarily inaccessible. How long do you want it marking for though?
Nightjar says: The algorithm for marking any area ought to be somewhat temporary so that eventually bugs creep back but if you are actively playing then you would mark any new ones too.
Bright Strider says: There are two mechanisms: mark it as accessible or go through it. I’m not sure the second method always works. Expiry would create more work for Fetch and his server, and local players.

Nightjar says: You need to sell this better!

Steve NordRunner says: I agree - if multiple runs on fifferent days are aggregated the result is an inflated WAVA, UTMOST league position, and other effects.
Autumnleaves says: Yes please - Tour of Merseyside good example
Sigh says: Yes, if they're called 'challenges' and not 'races' and listed separately.
Autumnleaves says: Oh - not quite the same thing as I need then! ToM is 6 races making up one event.
Sigh says: @AutumnLeaves, I think we need that as well, but that's different again.
The Mussile says: voted yes but for multistage races rather than challenges

iwaswill says: To make this more flexible, what about the ability to group / categorise your holdings? Or even just a notes field for each runner?
iwaswill says: ...I meant to add, as there is kinda accidental delete UX already in place with the confirm to delete, and I wondered if what was really need way a way to annotate the individual runners? Hope that’s helpful.
Dillthedog says: Iwaswill, I see this and feature 1101 going together. If you have a sell all button, you will need some way to not sell the runners you want to hold for a longer period. I'm sure Mr Fetch can magicate something up to make it happen

Bright Strider says: Or, set personal preference between imperial & metric.
Dave W says: Can only see where it says "Miles or Kilometres", and it's already set at miles. Please point me in the right direction if there is another way.

rhb says: I'm walking uphill, running downhill & flat. Minimal stops at aid stations. Standard Ultra strategy, shouldn't impact on results if miles are walked or run.

Salty Dog says: Yep, like the time I Garmin tracked a flight back from Italy and it kept uploading over and over again every day even after deletion from Garmin account and hard reset of the watch. Took Fetch to step in and alter some of his coding. He's a star!

ChrisHB says: I notice that the very top line, above the URL, contains the user's name, so I have no need of this suggestion.

Sigh says: On any training entry, use the drop down box in the pace section to adjust; the split table will then change to suit your choice.
larkim says: Not for the variable laps though; a mix of 30s, 1min, 2m30, 8min for example. e.g. see fetcheveryone.com/t-18827393
larkim says: I know I can use the "by time" laps, but would have to set for lowest common denominator which isn't particularly quick or helpful to review
larkim says: And doesn't work when run laps are of uneven distances that don't match the predefined splits.
bja61 says: It would be nice to be able to see the recorded laps in the drop down box as an option
SPR says: FEATURE 925 by me which is similar has a lot of yes votes

cerid says: Not everyone can have it, so suggest no.
BarefootEm says: Not everyone can run 200 miles in a month or more but there is still badges for those? I think it's a wonderful idea!

EvilPixie says: a very positive thread which is what we need in these times
Pothunter says: Wouldn’t be too different from the 12 days of Fetchmas challenge and badge

chunkywizard says: what a fabulous idea!

geordiegirl says: I have no idea what badges are available or what I need to do so this would be fab!

CumbriAndy says: See also request #615 - similar thought process?

Snoot says: If in a break week WSW still shows up in route planner. I’ve voted yes though as it would still be good to be able to move it to plan ahead.
AndyS says: When you look at your training entry, you can click on the button that turns on the WSW grid
chunkywizard says: It would be good to have the grid in the training entry coloured to show the squares you travelled through. I believe there is a feature request for this somewhere!

Elsie Too says: What do you mean by section breaks?
njosmith says: I mean some formatting to make the table easier to read. So it is easier to see which races were 2017 and which were 2018 in a long list
Flatlander says: If I look at someone else's race portfolio, that is split into years with a year header. If I look at my own portfolio, there are no breaks, it is just a long list.
SPR says: If you do it via your profile it is split with year headers.
Flatlander says: So it is. Thanks SPR

chunkywizard says: One of mt feature request was on each activity, when the WSW grid is overlaid, to highlight the squares that were passed through. This could be incorporated with that, ie to give you a count for those squares as well.

fetcheveryone says: I haven't stored them anywhere, sorry.
JCB says: I have some of them. (Maybe all)
JCB says: Listed here amongst other things. I need to update it a little: fetcheveryone.com/forum/who-squares-wins-wsw-records-and-trivia-60896/

fetcheveryone says: Looks like notification is used about 50% of the time. So I might annoy the 50% who don't use it.
minardi says: Thanking you
chunkywizard says: I'd agree on this. I'd like to always be notified of a comment on any thread I've commented on. Perhaps the 50% who don't use it might come to like it?
Drell says: the usual reason I don't use it is because I forget to check it before hitting submit.
Angus Clydesdale says: Please don't. Maybe allow people to set their own default?

Salty Dog says: The 'Brass Monkey' badge maybe?
westmoors says: Garmin pull in weather data for time and location. Not sure Fetch would want to do that.
Night-owl says: Ah thanks didn't think of that

Drell says: Yes. This. So much of the site is focused on times and PBs. Some of us will never get a PB again, even if we massively improve our performance.
MisterTea says: Doesn't UTMOST only take times from the last 12 months?

JK *chameleon* says: You can pin the pictures you want to see, then view your pinned posts. Job done.
HappyG(rrr) says: Good idea JK, thanks. That's good for going back to, but going to a new thread with 1000 pages but just want to see the pics wouldn't work. But yeah, good suggestion, thanks. G

HappyG(rrr) says: I sometimes do it just by stalking - go to profile, look at clubs, local parkruns or races etc.

HappyG(rrr) says: Probably related to the run time being logged with minutes not just hours larks?
larkim says: I'm sure there's a solid technical reason, but it still (very mildly!) irks me. A GPS watch knows the millisecond it starts, but I guess the rounding to nearest hour is hard coded into training log.
HappyG(rrr) says: It's on his list to fix I think. As you say, I think it was quite a big change (from feedback received previously, I think)

HappyG(rrr) says: I think I do get notified of buddy only. Is it poss that it's one that has changed to buddy only after writing or something? Maybe send it as a Feedbag/bug?
fetcheveryone says: If it's buddies only, and you're on the list, you should get a notification.
fetcheveryone says: As Happy says, possibly written as private, then changed to buddies = no notification

westmoors says: A personal scribble pad!
HappyG(rrr) says: What about using the Goals westmoors? I put stuff like "run a marathon on continental Europe" and things like that?
ChrisHB says: I think Goals might be adequate. I'm "sure" I checked that out before making the suggestion.

Velociraptor says: Yes! And I would like to be able to set mileage targets for periods other than a calendar year.

chunkywizard says: one persons worn out is another persons just bedded in. I do 800 miles in most of my pairs

Night-owl says: Great idea
westmoors says: I'm nearly there so would need it to be created quickly!
Steve NordRunner says: Could have a series of these: milliped badges. I would like to see a badge for 1000x marathon lifetime distance.

Diogenes says: (P.S. I now know that the quick way to find it is via my watch list, but this used to cause me much grief.)
HappyG(rrr) says: And my Feature 192 full Search capability would enable this by having order by option in the results, and saving personal searches etc See Fetch - you'd mop up so many feature requests by doing something with 192! G

Snoot says: Buffs please
HappyG(rrr) says: There are already Avoid Everyone masks, aren't there? I've got one! They're ace!

ZenTaoPlurp says: I'm puzzled by this. Why would you expect everyone to be living in England? What difference does it make to what you might say? How would a flag stop you from putting your foot in it? Out of interest: did you want St. George's Cross or the Union Jack for
ZenTaoPlurp says: yourself?
larkim says: It's because I'm instinctively English-centric and made the mistake earlier!! I'm as far from a flag waver as you could imagine, but on the Covid discussions for example there are lots of differences between the nations which were a little less prevalaent
larkim says: ..than once upon a time. I am conscious of flags equating to nationalism etc so perhaps not the best thought through suggestion!!!
ChrisHB says: some already have 'GB', 'EU', 'IS' next to their name. I don't know how they do it, but that would be good enough, don't you think?
HappyG(rrr) says: It might be quite useful if someone was e.g. Australia or New Zealand just to be aware of time zone etc. Agree that a GB, NZ, type notation might be clearer.
um says: Isn't that available already if you edit your name on a phone? eg ITG

Sigh says: Good idea!
westmoors says: I'm unlikely to get the thoroughbred let alone higher increases, but I've still voted yes!
Ocelot Spleens says: yes, but one day, you might just have to have a break from running....

BarefootEm says: Yes please!
Gooner says: I prefer the bare bones of the figures so if this does happen, can we please keep the ability not to see the route thumbnails

ZenTaoPlurp says: I pictured a numerical entry box in the training log: type in a number and that number of press-ups, sit-ups, or other named exercise would be logged and added to the cumulative monthly and annual total.

AndyS says: Or at least a way to mark them as cancelled
Garfield says: You (or the person who created it) can amend the title of the race to mention cancelled.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: People may want to keep it in their portfolio as a record, for example if they've paid and haven't yet got a new date or chosen an event to transfer to. I don't think you should be able to delete a race that has participants.
AndyS says: ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ makes an excellent point that I hadn't considered.

Brother Iron says: You may already know this but you can nip to settings and change your units to miles, then set your 700 target and then immediately set your units back to KM. It's not super user friendly but not too much of a burden
chunkywizard says: It would be nice to have it easier than the switch your units method, but it’s only once a year.
Daddy Shark says: I can see rounding errors (or other conversion errors) being an issue. This could be solved by grouping tables with some tolerance, say, 2miles / 3km

chunkywizard says: You can get this on strava and Garmin and as they have more users it’s potentially more useful. That’s not to say Fetch shouldn’t do it, just saying.

chunkywizard says: Like streak watch? fetcheveryone.com/training-analysis-consecutive.php
BarefootEm says: Yep, but that only shows your best, not your current... If like to see what I'm up to today easily
BarefootEm says: Unless I'm missing it....
Fragile Do Not Bend says: The streak count ends at the end of the year so it doesn’t display the total streak
chunkywizard says: Ok, just changed my vote to yes as I’d like the steak to show for all time not just years
PCleasby says: I’d like current streak too, especially if it spans the end of a year.
PCleasby says: I’d like current streak too, especially if it spans the end of a year.
Mascott says: yes please, plus its nice to see other streakers progress!
BarefootEm says: Oo maybe a streak league table, to opt into too? So you can see who else is streaking?
Fragile Do Not Bend says: I like the idea of a league table

chunkywizard says: Retrospective of course,
SpeedySloth 🦥 says: Yes! Getting it twice is pretty good going!
BarefootEm says: Yes please!
westmoors says: Voted yes, although I've never seen it anywhere near me!
Gooner says: Yes, but only if it's not retrospective

Eynsham Red says: I created a very short route for my swimming lessons and Pilates classes and just add that route into my logged training

Steve NordRunner says: Fine, so long as it works on touch devices that don't have a hover.

rf_fozzy says: This is likely to be an unpopular request I realise, but there are just too many of these to keep track of
George Smiley says: Or at least somewhere else for badge suggestions
rf_fozzy says: Yes, a separate badge suggestions stream would be good. But I do think that there are already too many *existing* badges too! Perhaps we could include badge removals too! (highly controversial for some perhaps?)
BarefootEm says: Feature requests aren't for us to keep track of though, they are for Fetch, if you aren't interested in badges, don't vote for them or vote meh, simples

Angus Clydesdale says: Cheeky bugger!

JCB says: Great idea!
Sigh says: Actually there's a lot of badges that have the potential to be awarded numerous times; Garmin do this (e.g. 50 miles in Oct, 50 miles in Nov etc)

chunkywizard says: I think you can yo any JG on a watch face by using FaceIt which is part of the CIQ app
StuH says: Could work well for Fetchpoint or WSW
Pothunter says: Someone did try a WSW app. Can’t remember who...
AndyS says: I was working on a WSW app, but put it on the back-burner due to a combination of tech issues and real life. Hoping to get some more work on it one day...
geordiegirl says: Oh now I would love a fetch watch face esp if it told me stuff!
Eynsham Red says: I might use my Garmin for everyday use if it had some Fetchiness about it.

SPR says: If you need a a FIT file using strength, let me know. I haven't used yoga yet
fetcheveryone says: FYI, yoga is already picked up.
HappyG(rrr) says: Strength isn't yet. Nor rowing/canoeing. It comes in as Cycling or running! G
chunkywizard says: A while back Fetch asked for fit files of various activities so he could make sure thy worked. Maybe send in some you have issues with?
HappyG(rrr) says: I offered to send one but perhaps I failed to do so. Sorry if so.

ZenTaoPlurp says: Cheating and adding an additional feature request to this: the ability to log more than one pair of shoes in the same training entry - with the total mileage dividable between shoes. It won't be useful for everyone but I often change shoes during a treadm
ZenTaoPlurp says: ... treadmill session and keeping track of use is tricky. It would also be useful for tracking items of kit that aren't used over an entire training session.
HappyG(rrr) says: You could use the Training Split function ZTP? Realise that might not be what you want to do though. I'm same, for ultras or even training shoes are swapped. Also when I run barefoot, I wear shoes to get there! But just log as one run. G

Autumnleaves says: I already move too many by accident when scrolling, I know I would delete by mistake!!

Autumnleaves says: Would like the option for this.
HappyG(rrr) says: What I had previously described was a single calendar of planned and done. Toggle for which to show. Forward and back. When session done option to link or combine it to the planned one to show done. Anyhoo. G

Autumnleaves says: Yes me too! See comment on feature 1002!
SailorSteve says: Me too👍
Cheeky’s Dad says: Me three!
Badger says: Yup I've had that a few times too
Steve NordRunner says: Yes, i've done this and it is worse if you don't remember where the plan came from to reload, because it has no title!

Bright Strider says: Or any period, which would allow focus on a season.

Bright Strider says: I think I've done this already. It came out with a gpx.xml extension.
larkim says: Ooh, tell me more?
Gooner says: The .xml part does stop it importing to garmin connect for me though. I have to use a file converter
larkim says: Hope do you get the gpx.xml file though?
Gooner says: Save the gps trail of your activity as a route and then export the route to gpx.
larkim says: Ah, that's a bit convoluted. Will have a go but if it just exports the route rather than the performance info then that's not really what I was suggesting.
larkim says: Yep, just tried that - it strips the timing data from the GPX file so that's not what i was suggesting - I'm looking for a way to export the activity including pace / hrm etc
Gooner says: Ah, I know how to import activities, but not export I'm afraid.

fetcheveryone says: If anyone has done this for malicious reasons, I can kick them off.
fetcheveryone says: And I haven't seen it happen by accident yet.
geordiegirl says: I think it happened once many years ago and we started to protect our original names I doubt it would be malicious if someone just joined and happened to pick the same name
fetcheveryone says: The case I remember was done on purpose
geordiegirl says: That is naughty!! It came as I got the email asking if I wanted to keep the pretty dormant account I don’t want to overload the system if an alternative would be possible. Maybe we need to be brave... 😬
Sigh says: Could we not have a second nickname field on each account, and choose which one is operational, swapping them whenever?
Trin says: I like Sigh's suggestion
geordiegirl says: Me too!
BarefootEm says: I like Sighs Suggestion too
Night-owl says: Sigh you are brilliant
larkim says: A solution is easy to design - but is it a solution looking for a problem?
chunkywizard says: i'd like this as well
paul the builder says: I think if you want to festive up your name, then it should come with some jeopardy
gardengirl says: I think Sigh’s idea would be good
JCB says: Just one alternative name, or several? An Easter one, a WSW one, a hide and seek one, etc...

HappyG(rrr) says: That's not 3 different requests, Fetch, honest. It's just one with options!
Oscar the Grouch says: Good idea. Think I was 2007ish, possibly 2006.
fetcheveryone says: Trouble is, if you're pre-2017, I don't actually know.
Oscar the Grouch says: The Great Oz, doesn't know!! Yikes
HappyG(rrr) says: Whhaat? This has shattered my world view! You didn't date/time stamp the account creation?! Oh well, what about "earliest date that a thing (race, train, blog, thread post etc.) was logged against that account"? G
Autumnleaves says: That's really funny Fetch!
HappyG(rrr) says: Actually Fetch, you could just do an extrapolation / interpolation thing of people saying roughly 13263 = Nov 2007, 9803 = whatever Oscar thinks he is Dec 2006 etc? Then guess every other ID number from there?

BarefootEm says: Or Kms?
Snoot says: Would need to set goals within a time window to prevent ‘massaging’ the numbers 🤔
BarefootEm says: I agree Snoot
westmoors says: Or maybe have badges for x miles in year, similar to the monthly ones. Otherwise, it would be easy to set a low target at the start of the year.
BarefootEm says: Or for beating your previous biggest annual mileage
Jenelopy says: I like the idea of a badge for covering 2020 km/miles in 2020
gardengirl says: Yes please!
geordiegirl says: This would be great it’s amazing what we will do for a medal!
StuH says: ...and if people want to change their goals to match their achievements, that's up to their conscience

theOtherRichard says: Maybe once a week, you can re-centre a bug somewhere within its existing circle of influence?
JCB says: Try moving your home point. The bugs will respawn 😉
Oscar the Grouch says: That was a top tip!
Autumnleaves says: Or open shortcuts at the top of the screen, add training second option down.
Autumnleaves says: Sorry wrong feature!
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Marking a circle as inaccessible isn't nuclear, as it gets reversed next time someone goes there.
cerid says: No, it’s not a badge factory
theOtherRichard says: Thanks all. I'll carry on as we were then. And use JCB's top tip.

Sigh says:

StuH says: prefer the old FB sharing which used photos
Maclennane says: I'm trying to wean my club mates off strava but they share their training activity, with map, from there

McGoohan says: How about allowing side by side photos?

Andy_208 says: If it's "one in, one out", why not lose 20s? Surely 10s splits will do, won't they?
fetcheveryone says: If you look at the URL when you change divisions, you can put in anything you like.
Andy_208 says: A-ha! Perfect! Thanks. May as well close this now. (BTW, who votes no on these things? What skin is it off their nose if there's a feature in Fetch they don't use?)
Badger says: I think it's because they'd rather Fetch was spending his time on something else!

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Or at least put them in order of date acquired or maybe alphabetical order?
Chrisity says: I agree, it would be very helpful if i could group my "keepers" together at the bottom of the list.
GimmeMedals says: My daily list is a muddle - there's no rank order or order of when runners were bought - so yes please, separating long and short term investments is a great idea!
Snail says: Would be good if could sort by options of date acquired order / current value/ name (similar to button on Tradeable Runners). This a feature that as the oportfolio increases you really would appreciate - as currently doesn't appear to be any
westmoors says: Voted no, as that is part of the game.

MisterTea says: But surely that favours those who have 100% coverage even more. I have access to about 50% of my grid so need to move the grid to be competitive as you move up the table
cerid says: It would only affect your score, not your ability to win matches.
Snoot says: Gives advantage to people in large town / cities surely? Even if I move my grid I still can’t access 100%
cerid says: It doesn't give an advantage. It just devalues the win. Yes, it will affect some people adversely, but no worse than losing points for a taking a break which doesn't feel like "cheating" at all to me. Moving grids does.
BarefootEm says: I think of you could move your grid as many times as you like, maybe, but given it's only once a week then no, I don't think it gives any further advantage, both players are able to do it, therefore there is no advantage
cerid says: I agree that there is no advantage against an opponent, but in the "league" it feels far more of an advantage than taking a week off. Others clearly don't agree, but systems do tend to reinforce themselves, I guess.
Gooner says: This just disadvantages anybody in a rural setting, not only would they have a harder challenge to win matches (even with a grid move in some cases) but then they also climb the ladder slower too. It's a no from me.
cerid says: It doesn't make it harder to win matches.
MisterTea says: I don't see how you can say it doesn't make it harder to win matches. If I can only reach 40% of my squares then my opponent only has to run in 41% of their squares to win the match - even if I run every day and they only run once
cerid says: Changing the score you get for winning doesn't change what you need to do to win. It's the difference between betting £12 on the outcome of a coin flip vs betting £10 on a coin flip.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Agree with VJ (and others). I can only reach ca 110 squares and this would penalise me from doing a midweek move.
cerid says: Yes, it’s intended to

StuH says: Tags
larkim says: Meh, tags are a bit pointless when you want run categories summarised in the monthly totals etc.
SPR says: Wouldn't each club run end up being a certain type of run for you?
larkim says: That's the thing, they are a bit non specific. Not easy, not a tempo, not at a pace of my choosing. Hence the request for a specific category!
Gooner says: You might even say, running - general?
larkim says: Maybe I should have suggested Running - Social? For me (and I think others) "general" indicates "not yet categorised" so I don't want any entries in that category!
geordiegirl says: It would be quite nice to see how many club runs we’ve done but then would we want - club run, club intervals, club hill training, etc may make our lists long unless we had a 2nd option to say solo run, with a friend, with club? Mmmmm 🧐
RBanksy says: Social Run would work for me.

Sigh says: We have a chat poll responses thread: fetcheveryone.com/forum/chat-poll-responses-61519/
Sigh says: You could also use it for other polls if you like
Serendippily says: It would be handy to link a poll to a thread and vv
Daddy Shark says: I'd only support this if the poll-creator could turn it off. For fun one's this could be good. For ones trying to actually find people's opinions, seeing others' comments right there would be biasing (like having a politician talking in your ear inside yo
Daddy Shark says: ...inside your voting booth just as you're placing the cross on the ballot paper.

Drell says: tbh, some of us have enough trouble getting bug free for a single day...
Night-owl says: Think my record is about 2 weeks but some managed it lol
StuH says: I haven't managed 30 days, but those that have managed a whole year certainly deserve a badge.
Gooner says: Maybe stages up to it too as 30 days to a year is a bit of a leap!
DocM says: would be good to have a few badges for more than 30 days
MisterTea says: Need some more badges to get me back into this game. Yes to a year - but only if 2, 6, 9 months added as well
Bright Strider says: The game cycle is 30 days,; it used to be a year. Let's not take it too seriously.
Bright Strider says: The game cycle is 30 days,; it used to be a year. Let's not take it too seriously.
geordiegirl says: I can’t even be bug free for a day 😂
Night-owl says: I admit Bright Strider has a good point

Snail says: I'd better vote yes for this though the squares visited perhaps might make it busy?
Snail says: Could perhaps just do it when ownership has changed eg " has turned B1 into cake" "Runner A has captured C2 from Runner B"
Gooner says: I voted no, I like knowing my score has been updated but think if somebody did an activity with a lit of squares that notification would be huge. Also, I would still have to check the map anyway so it would accomplish nothing for me.
BarefootEm says: Snail, I think it would be more useful when a square is being attacked but ownership has not yet been taken, early on in multiplayer it can creep up on you!
BarefootEm says: Gooner - yes, I'd check the map too... But at least you'd know which squares had been attacked to look at, this suggestion is specifically for multiplayer don't think it is necessary for 1v1 matches

fetcheveryone says: On which page please?

Funky Chicken says: Can't you view it by selecting 'Routes', 'Add A Route', and then clicking 'WSW'?
P.DuB™️ says: indeed you can, i thank you muchly

chunkywizard says: says the person with the most investors! I vote yes

SpeedySloth 🦥 says: Yes! I only walk and sometimes cycle, but id love to be involved. I cant run. As much as i would like to. I still want to play though!
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: I was going to suggest something similar: "Fantasy Cyclist"!
says: I'd be up for fantasy swimmer...
Raggedy runner says: Yes please. The game intrigues me but only run 3 times a week now but walk most days.

StuH says: Hoover
Sigh says: So, to keep it brand neutral, a "You Suck!" badge?
Bright Strider says: What sort of cleaning? Total bug squashing? Marking several 'inaccessibles'?
JCB says: My mind thought getting all gems, bugs, etc. I did this once and hoped for a prize of some sort.
P.DuB™️ says: i was thinking more like getting all bugs and gems, just bugs is too easy

MisterTea says: If only there was a list
Angus Clydesdale says: There is.....but it's a secret
Chrisity says: do i get a badge for knowing where the badge list is?
iRicey says: boooo... where is the list??

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Happy with ince a month tbh
Alice the Camel says: I quite like it being a once a month game rather than ongoing
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: ince a month *and* once a month!
Alice the Camel says: Snap, Synge!
rhb says: Just seems the balance is wrong, 7/31 days seeking and this game is over for the rest of the month. Maybe fortnightly could be a compromise?
westmoors says: Monthly gives players a chance to cover a decent amount of their grid for hiding. If the game started as soon as the previous one finished, there would be limited hiding places for most people.
rhb says: ^ wasn't that the point of hide & seek as a game, count to 10, find everyone, repeat. I'd be interested to know how many players are covering new ground specifically to hide in during the last week of the month.
JCB says: I can see both sides.... Hmm, what about 2-3 rounds of it at the start of every month?
Angus Clydesdale says: I lvery much like the fact that this is played over just a few days at the start of every month. This suggestion would spoil the game for me.
JCB says: If one hadn’t hidden for the start of a new game, that would be like taking a break?
rhb says: There was exactly 21 days of inactivity on the forum thread. Interesting.
JK *chameleon* says: I agree with this one - half the people are found in the first day or two, meaning there's nothing to do for the vast majority of the time. Maybe start a new game a week after the last finished?
Raggedy runner says: I tend to forget about this game once I’ve picked my hiding place. I feel the game needs more frequent reasons to revisit.

says: You might want to sell some of them in a few months funkyPOM - most runners will plateau or fall after a few months
Sigh says: An annual dividend, only credited if you've kept hold of the runner for a 12 month period.
FunkyPOM says: good alternative views there
FunkyPOM says: should also introduce a 'comission' (%age/fixed fee) for selling. Possibly interest for cash in portfolio too

Chrisity says: starting after this one
Gooner says: Only if you count past features 🙈
DocM says: what gooner says
westmoors says: Definitely need retrospective awarding
chunkywizard says: I think retrospective would be difficult for Fetch (but I reckon I'd get a badge!). Maybe you point to the feature you suggested for the award?
BarefootEm says: Just checked, I'd be eligible, so definitely retrospective awarding please :D
Chrisity says: On reflection vote no, or nobody will ever catch fetch.
chunkywizard says: I think there should only b one badge, not one every time you suggestion gets implemented!

fetcheveryone says: What *is* maximum training?

BarefootEm says: Oh that would make for an interesting quandary! A badge, or tidyness?
DocM says: or 199
geordiegirl says: Oh heck a badge I’d never get 😳😬🥶
Minnie Mad says: That happened to me in June and I still think about it! A badge would make it a bit better 😀
Raggedy runner says: Great idea. Reins in our OCD tendencies.

Kanajlo says: I've quit Swiming for about 18 years, can I get a badge for that?
AndyS says: I haven't run since October - can I have a badge?

ITG 🇮🇸 says: Part 1, ok; Part 2, no because it is a disincentive to train! We shouldn't reward people for training LESS!

BarefootEm says: Yes, brilliant!

westmoors says: I think they are in WAVA order. Maybe have the option to display in WAVA or distance order.
BlueArmy says: Thanks. I did wonder on the order. An option makes sense.
Sigh says: They're shown in distance order on the annual summary, if that helps.

westmoors says: Just don't read them!
cerid says: Not the same, would rather remove them from view entirely. Will stop me dropping back in and having pointless arguments.
SailorSteve says: Agreed cerid. Removing unwanted threads would make more of the stuff that is of interest visible on page one
um says: Maybe rephrase to a positive? Add the ability to filter the list to just the watch list?
cerid says: Hmm, but the watch list would then have too much on it. Frankly being angry about parkrun is not good for me, so I'd like to pretend it doesn't exist. I'm sure others have other things that make them emotive, but I could be wrong.
larkim says: Agree that an affirmative "I don't want to see this thread" action is better than a "I only want to see these threads" option. I can see other use-cases for the block - they get too time consuming, they appear too frequently, they are pointless wastes of
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Agree with westmoors - just don't read them.
azx says: See #737, #637, #295
cerid says: I really really could do with this. Coming to this site is affecting my mood at the moment.
The Mussile says: Just avoid the parkrun thread

BarefootEm says: Dot wouldn't have to be blue of course
cerid says: Feels like cheating / too much advantage for us nerds
chunkywizard says: I think this would be great. I think it definitely needs to be blue.
BarefootEm says: Maybe it could be turn off and onable Cerid?
SpeedySloth 🦥 says: oooooo i like that idea. Wouldnt it be magic..
JK *chameleon* says: Couldn't disagree more. The dot should clearly be green...

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Or just be prepared to lose a game occasionally? There's already a Break option for anyone keen on curating their stats
flanker says: Not sure this makes much sense - if you opt out of muti-player you jus t won't get through to next round, whereas if you just don't actively take part and not make the cut you don't get through to the next round. Opting out and receiving a "by" into the
flanker says: ... next round isn't a viable option for this sort of gameplay.
MisterTea says: Presumably this is a request not to be entered into round one of the MP and therefore take up a space that you have no intention of using...which I agree is a good idea but
MisterTea says: I don't think you should be able to opt out of 1v1 and focus on the MP - that is a part of the challenge of the MP, keeping one eye on the 1v1
Gooner says: Agree with VJ
NDWDave says: I only really play the 1v1. I’m not fussed about multiplayer as my current training means I usually crash out in the second round. I couldn’t really care less about losing but someone else might value the multiplayer place more

Gooner says: Cycling streak badges whilst you're making some too please
chunkywizard says: I think Illuminati is the biggest wait!

chunkywizard says: yep, I always go in via the thread!
um says: Added #908 - which I hope is a more general case for this?

StuH says: #750 + #29?
Sigh says: It is possible, because Runalyse do it.
Sigh says: From today; that's sleep and resting HR from watch plus weight and body stats from scales, all imported in the background automatically.
NDWDave says: RHR would be a good one to bring across too
EvilPixie says: oh yes RHR!
Sigh says: The reason why I'd like to see all this data in Fetch, is because Fetch usually then finds a way to present it which is far superior to others; just look at how easy it is to manipulate the data for a single run compared to any other site.
EvilPixie says: totally agree Sigh! Fetch has much better data presentation
chunkywizard says: yep, I'd like all my garmin data across as well

fetcheveryone says: I will vote yes, but no sign of an API on their site.
fetcheveryone says: I've emailed their support. If anyone has heard tell of their API, let me know.
Snoot says: Thanks 😊
SPR says: Runalyze apparently use their own API for Coros which suggests there isn't one from Coros themselves
fetcheveryone says: Response: "Thank you for the email and interest. Unfortunately COROS isn't ready to integrate with Fetcheveryone.com. We may revisit this request in the future."
SPR says: Disappointing. Their new pace 2 watch is impressive at a great price but they won't convert as many Garmin users as they could if they only work with a limited number of sites.
fetcheveryone says: I'll plug away
Snoot says: Thanks for trying
SPR says: I've just seen a post by Runalyze saying Coros now have their own API
JoeCarr28 says: SportTracks has just added COROS integration. Love my new Pace 2 - the only niggle is the lack of automatic Fetch upload.
Steve NordRunner says: Indeed, SPR: blog.runalyze.com
fetcheveryone says: Last time I checked they weren’t offering me access.
fetcheveryone says: I emailed them on May 27th, but they haven't responded. Just followed up.
Snoot says: Thanks for chasing 👍

JogWalker says: I am currently doing a LEJOG. How would Fetch know this and to award a badge when I’ve finished?
chunkywizard says: The badge is for cumulative walking miles. When you have logged 874 miles of walking in Fetch you get the badge. Are ok of your walks logged as crossing training - Walking?

Sigh says: + can this be awarded retrospectively please
BarefootEm says: Sigh, yes, brilliant idea!
chunkywizard says: couple be gamed though, ie rejoin to dive to the bottom then you would havea good chance of a long win streak. Still, good to love a badge!
BarefootEm says: Hadn't thought of that, but it's a big thing to do, quit and rejoin, lose all your past history, not sure anyone would willingly do that for a badge?
Sigh says: "I would do anything for a badge, but I won't do that"
BarefootEm says: I would pretty much do anything for a badge, but I also love my Fetch stats and I would hate to lose all that data... but you are right it is a loop hole... now wondering about other badge loop holes...
chunkywizard says: you could game as well by losing on purpose until your score is much lower to get easier opponents, but you'd have to be pretty dedicate to the badge cause to do this
JCB says: From what I've seen, the match history is still there when you rejoin. (Vancouver Jogger, etc)
AndyS says: Yes if backdated, Meh otherwise
JCB says: Hmmm...

Serendippily says: I really wanted to add some photos and a comment when I shared the graphic so I’m voting yes. It is a fab graphic btw
Maclennane says: I'm trying to wean my club mates off strava but they share their training activity, with map, from there

fetcheveryone says: What about the people who travel about *and* have reliable location data?
Bright Strider says: Can you turn the VPN off? My employer is reducing the number of programs that need its VPN.

FunkyPOM says: 31k at the end of the month is achievable if it includes biking.Longest month is therefore 496km.
fetcheveryone says: Have a look at fetcheveryone.com/ruyd
fetcheveryone says: And fetcheveryone.com/thon.php
FunkyPOM says: Not seen ruyd, this is more run, walk, cycle having a cumulative daily target
BarefootEm says: Could we have RUYD running as well as RTS? Every month? And with a badge?
JCB says: Wow! Another part of the site I haven't seen: Run Until You Drop (ruyd).
Sporty2010 says: A walk the sum would be good
Fragile Do Not Bend says: I’d quite like a ‘run or walk the sum’

fetcheveryone says: Would be 'people you follow' rather than buddies - but I can start adding this in.

Pothunter says: I think the service which identifies your location from GPS only goes to country level. We can’t identify constituent countries of the UK either.
fetcheveryone says: It *is* possible to see counties, states etc - but would be a LOT of badges for me to make.
FunkyPOM says: Maybe start with Oz then :-). Good, if the borders ever reopen..
Sam Jelfs says: Given that US / Oz states are often bigger than most European countries I think this makes sense, UK counties less so.

fetcheveryone says: You could indicate this using a tag. Send me feedback if you don't know how to tag a training entry.

MisterTea says: But isn't the point to stay hidden for as long as possible - I've never found anyone because I've always been found in the final hour or so of the game
chunkywizard says: you could also have a badge for being in the last 10/5/1 people to be found
Snail says: Ye agreed chunky - that would be good too

westmoors says: I'll never achieve it as too much of my grid is inaccessible.
chunkywizard says: westmoots, you can move the grid to get round this issue
westmoors says: I would need multiple moves to cover the whole grid and I'm not sure if even the lure of a badge could tempt me to be bothered!
chunkywizard says:
JCB says: I doubt I’d ever achieve it. 1600 different squares in a month. Even with unlimited grid moves it’d be a feat.
chunkywizard says: do you know how big area that is?
JCB says: CW, the lure of a badge though... 😉
chunkywizard says: absolutely, I would give it a go, but just trying to work out how big the area it is so I could work out if it would be possible.
JCB says: 3 miles by 3 miles. Not to be sneezed at! The individual squares seem smaller than for WSW
chunkywizard says: well if there's a badge for it I will give it a go. Should be possible in a month, especially if you can do unlimited grid moves.

StuH says: Came across github.com no idea if it has any bearing on the way FE uses OSM!
um says: StuH - have you got location where OSM shows drinking water? May have a play.
StuH says: The church in Bicknoller, Somerset, on the western side of the Quantock Hills?

chunkywizard says: This would be quite easy to do if you were registered but nor actively playing Fetchpoint. I wondered how to get around that?
BarefootEm says: Maybe it needs to be specifically asked for? Look what an idiot I've been Mr Fetch... Oh dear, haven't you just, here, have the dufus badge...
Chrisity says: Maybe you should have a random badge removed to make sure you don't do it again.

chunkywizard says: Not sure what that is, but a badge is always a good idea!
Oranj says: In the spirit of Thingython it should be for more than one different activity every day of the month (otherwise it'll just overlap with the new RunTheSum badge)
Gooner says: Only for those that run every day, us cyclists would only ever get this and not that
Juliane Fuchs says: definetl! Completed the challenge today and was a bit disappointed that I didn't get a badge or notification..
Gooner says: Thingython would mean running/walking/cycling/yoga-ing a bit a day, run the sum is harder and more focused so if someone puts the effort into a run the sum, I see no harm in them getting both rather than limiting this one.
CumbriAndy says: +1 for Oranj suggestion that there should be more than 'just' running during the month
MisterTea says: Isn't this just a 28/30/31 day streak badge - but for activity rather than just running? Agree that at least one activity should be non foot based
westmoors says: But its easy to complete by logging Other - Bugger All or Other - Rest
MisterTea says: Maybe make a series of training streak badges rather than just run streaks

chunkywizard says: Must say this would favour people who have easy access to the water, but if someone puts in the effort then fair-dues.
Juliane Fuchs says: maybe some badges in between? Like 25 points, 50, 70.
FunkyPOM says: Bat shit crazy, I'm in! Just looked at my grid and I could technically do 8 ochos in one day

westmoors says: Should incentivise you to be first to claim it.
CumbriAndy says: part of it could equally well be someone else's home circle - this is the whole point of the traffic lights
Bright Strider says: Westmoors, 4-5 am tends to reward insomnia. I don’t think we should encourage it.
Bright Strider says: CumbriAndy, completely.Hence, immunity not possession.
chunkywizard says: its a no from me, I think it's part of the game and as westmoors suggests just make sure you claim them before anyone else
BarefootEm says: I only get traffic light income from the other players in my house, if we all had immunity the traffic lights would be useless, I couldn't even coax people to my traffic light with the one true ring!
Bright Strider says: Chunkywizard, the trouble with 'just...' is that it becomes an alarms war, escalating towards 3.30am in order to be out at 4am. It is not good for players, even if it is light enough. Finding your way in the dark has hazards.

Gooner says: I voted no because I feel it's part of the game. They can be a valuable resource in busy areas so they should require a little work to maintain. Can't make everything too easy.
westmoors says: Agree with Gooner
Mr Stick says: @Gooner - Surely the effort is in the running / riding not in clicking on the map.
JCB says: Voted yes

Bright Strider says: camcycle.org.uk
Bright Strider says: A Dutch roundabout is a people-friendly traffic calming measure suited to residential areas, such as Fetchpoint players' circles.
Bright Strider says: The player chooses one, or none. It is not random.
Drell says: I'm not sure about the orange skin, but I like the idea of being people friendly
Bright Strider says: Thanks, Drell. The orange skin could be voluntary, or temporary. E.g.
Bright Strider says: • Do you want to turn the Dutch skin on?
Bright Strider says: • The Dutch skin has been turned on for an hour. Do you like it?
Bright Strider says: Using the Dutch skin could earn you a 'Gone Dutch' badge.
Bright Strider says: Cambridge has the UK's first Dutch roundabout, as the article that the first comment links to says. There will be an item about it on BBC 1 TV channel in the 'One Show' on Tuesday, all being well.
Bright Strider says: It does seem reasonable to me that people should be able to move around their own circles without being congestion charged.

compartmental says: and WSW please!
AndyS says: ...and training entries

Trin says: Or even 'Socially Distanced'
Mark J says: Some brimstone, hellfire, carnage type skin, I reckon. What a truly horrible year for many. Stay safe, stay kind everyone.
StuH says: Or 'Avoid Everyone'?
AndyS says: The existing "Brazil" skin is similar to the #AvoidEveryone shirts (and very attractive)

geordiegirl says: Not that I dive as much as I'd like but that would be a fab option for the ones I do do.

Bright Strider says: I see the same thing, but I don't see it as a problem. I choose the route according to the main map. That route probably won't be a saved one. What would be nice is a route plotter that maximises your points for a given distance or predicted time.
Big_G says: Yes, I was just thinking the same. When creating a route, being able to overlay the current WSW game (for example) would be really useful.

Gooner says: You can see if you click on the square in question. I quite like the fact trying to find unvisited squares takes a bit more work, makes it all the more exciting if you do find one.
Juliane Fuchs says: yes I know, and I agree that it might be more interesting in the UK to be surprised by unvisited zones - but abroad 99% of zones are unexplored, so the surprise isn't that big...
Gooner says: Fair point, hadn't thought of that
Juliane Fuchs says: maybe it would be a good compromise to make unexplored zones only visible outside the UK? Because I understand your point too...
Paul J says: When abroad, the surprise is finding an explored zone. And the interest is in going there to see who visited. So yes - great idea.

BarefootEm says: I can't beleive there isn't a Higgs badge!
SpeedySloth 🦥 says: Me neither! 🤦🏻‍♀️
geordiegirl says: What Higgs? Although a badge would be good anyway.
Gooner says: Higgs Boson in Fetchpoint. The little rocket looking thingy.
BarefootEm says: The HIggs Boson appears on the map once a day, in a new place, completely randomly. If you find it and collect it, it squishes all your bugs, gives you 400 points and turns all your traffic lights green! Its a tricky little thing, and doesn't appear nearb
FunkyPOM says: Are there Higgs outside of the UK?
BarefootEm says: I think it's only in the UK
geordiegirl says: Thanks Em, I did have to go and have a look on the game guide, I will have to keep my eyes peeled
geordiegirl says: While any new badge is a great idea, if it is a random placement is it 'fair' on the bigger game that it is accessible for only a handful of people at a time?
BarefootEm says: It moves daily, to a new random location, so down to luck in spotting it when it's near by, and it landing in an accessible spot
Gooner says: Even though I've said yes, I've never seen it by me so it's not a badge I expect to ever get.
StuH says: Saw it once, about 15 miles away, in a business park I wasn't sure I could access so left it.

StuH says: Could be useful, but there are utilities to do this with the original files such as fitfiletools.com
BarefootEm says: Or if your watch runs out and you need to switch to logging on your phone?
GimmeMedals says: This would be helpful for longer activities, as Em says, when your watch runs out of battery and you switch to a phone App.

fetcheveryone says: You can use 'Go to location' box (top right) to jump to wherever.
geordiegirl says: Thanks Fetch I can do that but it’s a faff getting it set right - so yeah being lazy I guess thanks for response.

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: Liking this, though probably not cost-effective for Fetch to do. Are there any sites where you can order a badge based on a jpg?
AndyS says: I'm with Synge here - a great idea, but probably not cost effective for his Fetchness.

Mark J says: Good idea but I think there should be a fairly high over threshold as , for example, I will do a lot more running and cycling at different time of the year, so I may well be well over for a couple of months but then back under before you know it.
LindsD says: Not the running (ongoing) target, the final target for the year.
Serendippily says: Zactly and as a toggle rather than a blacklist please
Snoot says: With the toggle sounds good
Serendippily says: And cut off being above target that will add to challenge: you have to run 700 exactly to top the table briefly
Daddy Kong says: And/or perhaps the option to sort the league table on % up / down as well as just total distance, so -15% actually gets you closer to the top than +187%
Drell says: I agree that the people who've done 150% of the annual target by july shouldn't count. They set the wrong target
ZenTaoPlurp says: Brilliant idea. An added feature could be to cast them into the pits of hell for blocking the top and stopping earnest runners from moving up the table.
Badger says: I like this idea. Why vote no? It isn't terribly complicated & you don't have to use it, after all.
um says: I voted no because I think it needs a bit more thought & definition. Opting to see no-one over the target means you never reach the top?
um says: I voted no because I think it needs a bit more thought & definition. Opting to see no-one over the target means you never reach the top?
um says: Maybe, for groups like the 700, better to have an opt-in league table, so it can be monitored & controlled, and we all know & agree to the 'hit the top and move on after a few hours/days of glory?'
alpenrose says: KISS - the best things are the simplest, why try to make it complicated?
Badger says: Good points, um, but if you’d just voted no & not commented, we wouldn’t have known
photoset says: there perhaps needs to be a delay as most people like to see themselves on top for a day, and are then generally happy to reset,its those that never reset and sit on top for over 6 months of the year
Cheeky’s Dad says: Great idea! I love the idea of a toggle. If that meant you could switch between the original target and a “Hall of Fame” for those who have gone above and beyond. Then the high mileage types could continue to stay with the group and keep their friendl
Cheeky’s Dad says: *sigh* keep their friendly rivalries going and the rest of us can keep in touch with their progress and cheer them on

BarefootEm says: I've had this thought so many times! Well done for putting it forward 😁
Juliane Fuchs says: . Same here! Would be nice to have other distances too, like half mile, 5miles, 1k etc.
MarkyMarkMark (3M) says: In fact, segments, even.... Would probably need a different name. Although I know not all the segments in the other place are even distances, but tend to be linked to landmarks, corners, lamp posts etc..

westmoors says: You could just use a tag.
Angus Clydesdale says: I agree. Rowing and canoeing are nothing like each other. Kayaking / Canoeing would be a better pair, but why not have a separate one for each?

HappyG(rrr) says: Wot? No love for tables?! Where is larkim. He would love this one!
JCB says: Count me in as a Yes. (Voted so long ago I don't remember!)

Kieren says: Inspired by 10k / marthon case studies of some of my club members that feaature in book "Improve Your Marathon and Half Marathon Running - David Chalfen" who coaches at Serpentine. Names I can relate to somehow make goal setting more relatable but also dr
Kieren says: My previous comment on this was a mistake - intended for feature 831

Kieren says: Inspired by 10k /marathon case studies of some of my club members that feaature in book "Improve Your Marathon and Half Marathon Running - David Chalfen" who coaches at Serpentine. Names I can relate to somehow make goal setting more relatable /realistic

westmoors says: No to where they were found, not bothered about the grid numbering.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: No to location, yes to grid refs. Did, could you post two separate suggestions and comment under this one to say so?
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: "Dio" - sorry!
Angus Clydesdale says: No to location. Yes to renumbering the grid references.

chunkywizard says: they are a bit easy to get IMHO. I'd prefer badges to be a bit of challenge
Ocelot Spleens says: I think most runners don't stop at x.9 whatev, and carry on to x, it'd be a nice surprise, unless you make them 4.99 km, 9.99km
George Smiley says: I think a 42.1km badge would show dedication to badge collecting
Ocelot Spleens says: so would 42?, or 39.9, or 29.9
SPR says: Not a badge collector but I have a few .9 runs, lol.

chunkywizard says: Where’s my badge?
westmoors says: I always wear club vest for races as I enter as an affiliated runner.
Chrisity says: i would include parkruns.
Lip Gloss says: I usually wear my fetch vest when racing if it’s warm enough
Strutbrother says:
becca7 says:
Kanajlo says:

SPR says: Logged a long jump using the current fixed time set up: fetcheveryone.com/races/brat-club---open-t-f-series---long-jump-4676412
SPR says: Could help the site FETCH FIELD ATHLETES? 🤔

MarkyMarkMark (3M) says: e.g. I don't do WSW and have no real interest in it (yes, really!) but my vote ("Meh") still influences (however slightly) the decision around whether Fetch works on them for those of you who do care!
SPR says: Fetch has said Meh means no interest and doesn't influence decisions.

Daddy Shark says: 27th Oct: recent forum was in favour of something like this. Simpler if a fixed small points cost per week. I'll try to se-up a poll to find consensus on size of cost
Gooner says: I was a no but when it got brought up in the thread, it did make sense so I'm now a yes.
cerid says: I don't agree with disincentivising people from taking breaks a) if they need to avoid overtraining and b) while there is a global pandemic and the vast majority of advice is "stay at home"
Gooner says: There has never been advice against exercising outdoors as long as social distancing is maintained.
unsliced says: In the UK that's true, but many countries have had rules on distance from home.
Serendippily says: It is a bit of a relief to go back a step if youve had a break
cerid says: There is exercising and then there is going out four times a day to log scores on a game.
Bazoaxe says: I think this would be beneficial. I am in week 7 of taking a break which has protected my score and prevented a walkover result which wouldnt be great for my opponents. I think a longer terb break that say protected score for 2-3 weeks and then started t

chunkywizard says: great idea. This week's match has been great thanks to all the posts but it would help cut down on the work needed to track
Boycie says: they could also be applied to singles matches too...

BarefootEm says: Yes, I like this - could be on individual games and/or multiplayer
Ocelot Spleens says: Very good, I'd have a go at that, and you can watch it unfold, the current racing betting thread works off of PBs which is a bit odd as a lot of us get nowhere near a pb anymore

Sharkie says: MIne is one of the no votes
Serendippily says: I’d like the sprint distances for my own purposes

Ocelot Spleens says: Very Good

njosmith says: I don't understand
Gooner says: I think it means breaking the types of training in to main categories and sub categories so you could change the sub category independently and thus have a shorter list to look through
Nightjar says: Indeed. Why didn’t I just say that?
njosmith says: okay - I get it now.
chunkywizard says: good idea. It annoys me with the current implementation!

Rrunner says: I'd buy another FE buff!
Wombling Plodder (Welsh Womble) says: I like buffs
BarefootEm says: Me and Ishep were talking about this yesterday
Bright Strider says: Being multifunctional, you can use buffs as face masks. No one objected in the Coop, anyway.
geordiegirl says: Oops sorry Fetch I knew I’d thought about it forgot I’d done it. 🤣
Gooner says: Lol, the UK Buff website is down atm. Looks like they've abandoned the UK for the pandemic.
geordiegirl says: Pretty please???
Cheeky’s Dad says: With a cherry on
sparklecloud says: I'd love a buff too
Snoot says: You can never have too many buffs 😊
EvilPixie says: Definitely can't have too many

chunkywizard says: av and max HR dpend on peoples max to determine the effort. If you wish to see effort then I would suggest %MHR

JCB says: Maybe the pairing process could put ‘inactive last week’ players together? So more likely for active players to get a better game?
Chrisity says: Then you play every other week and always get a weak opponent?
Gooner says: But lose points every other week to so gain no advantage

MisterTea says: Isn't the purpose of this game not to be found and therefore not to spend time seeking?
MisterTea says: Unless of course there were badges for being in the last 10, 5, 1 when hiding
Chrisity says: It would encourage hiding in the centre. You need a game of Seek and Hide.
DocM says: But once you are found you'd get out there and find as many as you could

Rrunner says: +1 you can never have too many graphs!
JogWalker says: Yes, and show more than just last few attempts

Pothunter says: Tags?
Autumnleaves says: That wouldn't narrow the drop down menu though

Serendippily says: This would be a shame. I’m not sure who walks if they could run - but I am motivated to try and run more through WSW and there are a few people who’ve found it a great way into running
Sigh says: +1 for Serendippily's comment. Plus, walking and running involve different levels of exertion, road biking & MTB are broadly the same (assuming performed in the same location).
rhb says: I can run to shop though & walk back, so scoring twice through those squares. If I ride there I can't score again through those squares on way back. Would make sense to allow one "on foot" and one "on wheel" score per sq per day.
westmoors says: rhb, you could walk back with pushing your bike!
Velociraptor says: I think that's a reasonable request, BUT if it's granted I would like walking to earn the same number of points as running.
Serendippily says: Also I don’t have a bike so I will lose my chance for evening cake
Angus Clydesdale says: Oh, look at yourselves. It’s a game FFS. If different types of biking are allowed then surely different types of hiking (and running/walking/etc must be allowed too. Surely.
Angus Clydesdale says: Which is why I voted NO.
rhb says: A.C. different types of cycling don't count though. Agree it's just a game. Perhaps every Training category could count once per square per day, to make it fairest.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: The rules will always favour some over others (I'm never going to win!) and any change will benefit some and disadvantage others.
Boycie says: I think the adjust to two points walking and one point cycling evens up WSW nicely. The final I just participated in wouldn't have been close at all if only running or walking counted, as I would have risen away into the distance.
Ocelot Spleens says: I think the 2 points fo walking has muddied the waters somewhat, Leave it as it is for nw, and see how the game pans out now, but in principle, I think this might be right.

Autumnleaves says: I have no idea how to make use of this!
Flatlander says: I think fetch introduced the Borg RPE several years ago because he wanted to analyse what kind of effort we were making in our exercise sessions.
Flatlander says: A new system would need to allow spilt efforts - e.g. intervals where recovery = 3/10 and the sprints 7/10 with nothing in between.

Gooner says: All or nothing!

jennyh says: Love this idea Fetch!
FurryH says: I have an app for this already. Very useful for monitoring mental health.
boyband6666 says: It's supposed to be one of the best predictors of many things, from injuries, etc. Having a validated questionaire built in would be amazing, as then I'd do it
BarefootEm says: I think this has the potential for incredible help. Could it be possible to have the individual 1-10's private, but the option to have your overall 'how you are feeling' visible on your profile? Maybe in the form of an emoji? So if someone is looking at a
BarefootEm says: Profile they are able to see a Fetchie is feeling a 3 today, and can send a virtual hug if they want to? But they don't need to know the detail?
jennyh says: I like that idea Em
BarefootEm says: I'm glad it made sense Jennyh!
geordiegirl says: Garming connect has added this and I love that I can put in my perceived effort and how I felt so I would love it here too esp expanded

Snoot says: Agree with this although I do have to admit to just moving the grid to my advantage 🙈

Elsie Too says: How would that work - if you run from home every day and show your training it will be obvious where you live? I don't use strava so no idea what they do?
larkim says: strava basically adds a "fuzzy" area to the place you've identified as home so that no map traces appear in that zone - it tends to start about 200-300m away from where you live, thus disguising your actual home if that's where you run from
larkim says: In support of mercilessly stealing their idea - it's documented here support.strava.com
Rrunner says: I'd prefer the map to be made available on an activity by activity basis and still have the ability to let buddies see everything if I choose.
Flatlander says: I support larkim's and Rrunner's comments
Angus Clydesdale says: Where I live there’s only us so it’s pointless. I can see how it works in the city though.

ChrisHB says: ceremonial counties, not changeable administrative counties
chunkywizard says: reckon that would be a lot of work to implement. It might be good to have a badge for the set
Pothunter says: Fetch has previous
Pothunter says: Oops! Meant to say: previously said the GPS software he uses can’t even identify Eng, Sco, Wal, Nir so counties will be nigh on impossible I guess
ChrisHB says: agree about the techical difficulies, though
ChrisHB says: IIRC it is possible to work out the postcode town using post office data.
JCB says: What are these things called counties? 🤣😛
ChrisHB says: the data appears to be available here geoportal.statistics.gov.uk or a page not too far away. Not ceremonial counties afaict.
fetcheveryone says: It's possible, but am just concerned about the number of badges I'd have to make
BarefootEm says: I'm happy to help make badges (If that is helpful!)
ChrisHB says: For Cheshire you can have an invisible Cheshire cat - that should be easy.
BarefootEm says: I was thinking the cats smile...

Serendippily says: This may be complicated where blogs are buddies only so would link nicely with the request to “limit” the views of the pic when it links to a private blog
um says: Or a search for the [image ref] as an enhanced blog/thread search?

Pothunter says: Until this feature request I had never even clicked on the shortcuts button! Good idea.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ says: #69

Sampson says: All gems could be for runners/walkers/swimmers(?) only. Most of the leaders have relatively few points from gems.
Bright Strider says: When cycling, I tend not to take footpaths, on which tokens do appear. I also run, and this provides an opportunity to collect those tokens. Nonrunners will find such tokens less appealing.
MisterTea says: The top players have hardly any gem points so won't make much difference.
MisterTea says: 13 out of the top 15 have more flower points than my highest ever score. The only way to balance it up is to do something with flowers
JCB says: Anyone interested in flowers, I made a suggestion about them being dropped at different rates: fetcheveryone.com/featurerequests-open.php?sort=id#feature194
Drell says: I agree that flowers are where change might help
Heinzster says: Flowers drop every 5 minutes? That way faster cyclists would plant flowers much further apart.
Badger says: The every 5 minutes idea is a good one I think

rhb says: I put meh but I guess there may be commercial value in attracting new audiences by developing this?
paul the builder says: Reckon "IFTTT" might need explaining. Perhaps I'm the only one who didn't know what you meant, but I doubt it.
larkim says: Be worth expanding on what you use IFTTT for with strava - what sort of triggers would you like to be able to hook into on Fetch, and what would you like to happen as a consequence?
gradgrind says: Yes, good point Paul . ifttt is a service which allows you to automate 'things' on the internet. For example, every time I go for a run, it goes to that other site with a paywall, then IFTTT notices and transfers a small amount of money from my spending a
rf_fozzy says: I'm not sure I understand what this would be for?
Big_G says: Not sure how IFTTT could be used in conjunction with strava and Fetch.

MazzyH says: yes please!

Bright Strider says: How about default kit set for the activity?
RunningRonnie says: You can already do that Bright Strider
Angus Clydesdale says: Not completely. I asked ages ago if we could have different default kit for different activity sub-sets (MTB, Road Bike, Commuting Bike etc). Hasn’t happened yet.
CogNoscensme AHA says: With you on that AC. I suppose I only need to log shoes and tyres but I keep logging all my kit anyway and default by subset would really help.

JCB says: Could we have time back please?
chunkywizard says: that would be neat

Serendippily says: I stopped using the fetch app because I lost entries so often

chunkywizard says: Same here, it would be nice to have that data n FE but I am not sure it is possible
azx says: Says so here: developer.garmin.com
chunkywizard says: Good link, the FAQs are here and it looks ok developer.garmin.com
Sigh says: I have a Garmin Index scale, and manually add here every day. Looking at the FAQs it looks like steps, sleep etc can also be synced, which are in other feature requests.
azx says: I see there's an API to do this fetcheveryone.com/api-doc.php . I actually import from withings use a script and upload it to garmin. Guess I could just upload it here too
chunkywizard says: it would be nice to have it invisibly automated though!
ishep 🇪🇺 says: Withings is also on IFTTT, so that might be a quick and easy way of Fetch implementing a direct(ish) import from Withings
cerid says: This would be a real boon for those of us currently frightened of scales

chunkywizard says: As I haven’t been first to get a badge I’m going to have to vote no! You were first to get Ocho, weren’t you?
ITG 🇮🇸 says: Yes, and I suspect a coupe of country badges

chunkywizard says: gets my vote!
ishep 🇪🇺 says: Badgeception!
cerid says: That means you can’t have 100 badges. Badge 101 does sound cool though
Ocelot Spleens says: superb idea. meta.

ftrobbie says: It reduces the multiplayer game cycle by a week and starts the competition of needing to own squares rather than the number you go through closer to the competiton start. It then also maintains the competitive element to qualifying.
ishep 🇪🇺 says: This was posited by Fetch when he was first designing multi. Don't know if it was ever ruled out or just shelved
Gooner says: I like that idea, gets more people into another part of the game for longer.
Snail says: Sounds good. Makes the event seeded so would give more people a chance

Pothunter says: Didn’t the orange place prevent segments on downhills for safety reasons?
chunkywizard says: sounds sensible
Gooner says: It may say it does, but it does not.

Gooner says: Just infect everybody else's bugs, then you cover all bases
Flatlander says: This suggestion seems like encouraging vindictiveness.
Bright Strider says: I'm with Flatlander on this. Let he who seeks revenge first dig two graves. One for his victim, and one for himself.

ishep 🇪🇺 says: cf. #295 & #637
azx says: "so good they suggested it thrice"
SailorSteve says: It’s a good suggestion and deserves repeating😎 At any time there seem to be about a third of the threads that I’d like to ignore/banish, in order to make the stuff that I am interested in more visible.

MazzyH says: ++ please
westmoors says: You enter in pounds and it displays at the top in stones & pounds so would make sense to be able to enter as stones/pounds
