How the endurance ride calendar is formatted



In response to:

Yes, I hate it this way, and have told them so , and will continue 
to do so. They said allot of people like it, but I have yet to hear of one
who does. It is a pain to have to go looking on the following pages 
for the rest of the days of a multi day. and some of the 3 or 4 day
rides you never can find out if they are 5 or what. They said it is 
allot of trouble to change it back. So I guess all the trouble it causes
the several thousand members of AERC , the REAL owners of the 
organization and the Magazine is less important that the trouble of a
few paid employees to change it back. It falls on deaf ears.

*******************
Anne,

Although I don't speak for the office - I would like to respond on this
because I think understanding what the situation is will help.

First - the office says they did ask for feedback on this before making the
the change and felt they got enough positive feedback to make the change.
This one may not have had a large enough sample could be possible.

Second - the way the calendar comes out is set by the new software used
in the office.  It's not just someone moving a few lines to make it the 
way it used to be.

Third - changing the format is something that has to be done by modifying the 
software - then testing and making sure it works. It's not a trivial 
change but can be done with some programming effort.

Last - the office is aware of the general unhappiness on the issue.  It has
been discussed on the Board of Directors email list too.

I would think that the office is deciding what to do on the issue and we 
will hear from them.

I personally prefer it the old way myself too.

Let's give them a chance to respond on this  before making it a big issue on RC.

Mike
