I know I often feel as if vast chunks of my life have moved on while I've been oblivious, but still, based on my points below after two prelims in the last 3 months I reckon I'll be ready for the FEI World Cup @ Olympia this year :D

Lol!! Whereas I'm still missing the results from my first Elementary a month ago.

I see there's a new schedules page now. That was the one bit of the website that I found quite easy to use anyway!!

Yes, I noticed that yesterday. I don't like it - the other one was easy to use and the layout worked. I don't think this one does. But I guess it will just need to grow on me :D
 
Lol at your record :lol:, but the new schedule page is such an improvement to be able to search by multiple county, test, level, weekday vs weekend days, etc. Have a play with it as it is really good once you've figured it out (a 'how to' would have been be useful from BD but lets not get to optimistic hey ;)).

Oh no!! Agree, the schedules page was fine as it was.

On another note, is there a quick way to access one's own BD record? Because it's really not obvious to me! :D
 
agree Alex, I prefer the new schedules page too :) Straddling 3 counties, this makes it really easy to find shows without scrolling around ;)

Good luck at Olympia, OP, can you get us some VIP tickets since we've been following you from your prelim days? :lol:
 
Haha love it, BD strikes again - they had my horse out competing on his tod. I've seen him load himself on the trailer but he's a clever clogs to drive himself there too :D

Ah, now searching by test is a good thing. I will have to investigate that!
 
Got to love the BD IT incompetence! You really couldn't make it up.
I've had 2 records for ages, despite me telling BD. If I were the dishonest sort I could probably engineer it so that I could go back to prelim/novice bronze/silver!
 
They have been saying for the last 12 months or so that they are getting a new IT system or something. I have to be honest i nag them a bit when my record is wrong as it frustrates me. Every single time i compete (which isnt all that often) my record then goes horribly wrong.
 
Have just had a play with the schedule page and I see what you mean about the county search - that's quite handy. I was searching yesterday for a specific show to do an entry and it felt a lot more long-winded than the old page!
 
So the saga continues...

Having emailed a couple of time, and then speaking to someone who advised it is a clerical issue and they would sort it it seems that BD's idea of removing points is a bit different to mine.

They have removed some points, but I seem to have gained quite a few more medium, and somewhere, in amongst my nerves the other week at tushingham, I appear to have completed a respectable advanced medium test to gain a point.

This has just made me laught out loud at my desk. I have a friend who's horse came up with a letter instead of a space, and when ringing to correct, ended up with just simply a different letter...
