Crash Hamster Dec 2011 9:59pm, 27 Dec 2011 33 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster OK, I switched my home point as we're on holiday, but <cue dramatic music> no relays appeared at my new home point... Are no new relays being added?
Ultra Sparkly Bridget Dec 2011 10:31pm, 27 Dec 2011 11,405 posts	Quote Pin Ultra Sparkly Bridget TD - I had a bug almost on the circle but that was inaccessible. I don't report these bugs until I'm planning my run to avoid increasing the penalties and it turned out that this one was far enough out not to lose me any points. In other words you could just leave it!

There'll be a few tomorrow and more the day after. If you've got a bug near your 1 mile line click on it, I've left those as they say they're 1 mile away and don't think they take points.

Yorkshire Mince Pie Dec 2011 8:06am, 28 Dec 2011 9,543 posts	Quote Pin Yorkshire Mince Pie Just cleared a load of the bugs which have built up while I've been away - 10 miles on the bike and only a tiny little bit outside the circle to dump them, the rest was weaving around all over the place. It gave me an opportunity to play with my new toy though - I got a Garmin Edge for Christmas so I decided to let it navigate me round to see how I went

Who the heck is 'system' and why are they stealing my points? why have my points been at 0 forever and how do I tell which things I've hot or missed on my map? Basically I'm completely flummoxed by the whole thing.
