I have just done the Thursday night ride this morning but do not appear in the rankings
Does it take a while for the results to show up?

Andy

Hi Andy. You will show up but because of a Bkool technical glitch related to disconnection time during your ride (which happens to everyone), Geoff will have to approve your ride first this time. I think for future leagues and Thursday rides this will not be an issue.

Geoff, would like to suggest a velodrome session in there. Could become tactical and learn to use the drafting features. Say 80 laps

That's exactly what I ended up doing last night. Was fun trying to draft people. Makes a huge difference!! Could be fun doing it all together.

1. Settings. 2. Log out. 3. Session types. 4. Session card. 5. Session filter. 6. Devices (those detected are shown in green).

My new theory but not had a chance to test yet as I'm at work:
I think those of us who couldn't get into the session last night had our Session Filter settings to filter out the type of session we were looking for. In the lower middle of the screen (5).


edit: just noticed but that guy up there in the top left with the BKool shirt is almost as fat as Add.

Thought of that last night Bill. All my filter were off, which is the default setting, so it shouldn't have blocked the league ride from showing.

Aw darn. I also deleted and reloaded my Bsim last night to see if that would help but no difference. So it must have come back in with default settings.

Have you managed to find any 3d rides in Live apart from the velodrome ones?

I just looked and there are a few that have the 3D option, I also noticed one that had a padlock on it so you can obviously lock people out if you want to.
I just went in and watched Gloknerkonig and that was in glorious 3D

 

[BILL S]

Interesting. Must look at that asap as its bugging me.

Not the lost signal this time, that was actually pretty good (c. 4 seconds total).

You failed the "did he go slower than me" test!

Actually, it was a bkool glitch, for some reason your expected weight value was zero, and it didn't like the fact that you weigh something. I think this may only happen for new members, as it happened to Richard as well, shortly after he joined.

I have accepted the ride, so you should show up now.

I intend doing the ride over the next couple of days - is there any way that I can see 'the competition' when doing the ride? Do I have to use the 'challenge' function or will that not count in the league (plus that will only show one rider surely)?

I like that idea, we may see more of each other, at least when being lapped by Add...

How about a velodrome next Thursday, then a slightly longer Christmas ride the following Tuesday (but we may have to rename the group)?

Unfortunately, bkool is refusing to accept the approval, and it is still showing up as needing approval.

I'll report the error to Bkool, and try again later.

I'm cool with whatever people want to ride! Never tried a Velodrome, so yeah, give it a whirl. Is it like the Olympics where we all crawl around, nearly falling off for 79 laps, then go berserk for the last lap?

I am an Adam btw, Adski and Add were the closest it would allow me to get! Adski being my 1990's original Playstation International Track and Field handle, as I was always left with the Russian fella!

Haha Bkool must love us Brits

@ Rayvon I know your commenting on Bkool rides but as we have mentioned in here before (for any that don't know) you can only see 2 messages on your rides, or anyone else's. Any comments after that do not show...Bkool again I'm afraid, so I'm not ignoring anyone....honest.

what he said! Thankyou for your kind messages on BKool, ( giving you the benefit of the doubt) but I too can't read them. So best to post your abuse on here!

Hi Darryn,
Thanks for your message. We forward the incident to our software/web developers, we hope it will soon be fixed.
See you at Bkool
Bkool Team.

They seem to be aware of the issue I guess??

 

[Runexeter]

Well done, we have all done the same so hopefully they will get a grip on it, but I wont hold my breath.
In fact it's a shame they don't have someone from Bkool that are members of the forum, a lot of forums on other products do, like mobile phones etc. They would soon see how their subscribers were getting fed up with all the glitches and try to sort them out, or at least just hear us out.
