In removing the activity type dropdown from gpx upload page most (not all) of my bike commutes are being determined as runs. I edit them back but this is screwing up the game 'checkpoints' as that doesn't seem to recheck & adjust scores after editing activity. E.g. fetcheveryone.com/checkpoints-pair.php?pair=11983_2950

Dvorak Sep 2018 5:06pm, 2 Sep 2018 16,621 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Checkpoints - an idea which I never felt quite worked. The forgotten child of FE games, dressed in rags and usually locked in a cupboard, occasionally being tossed some stale bread and water. Er, ;-). One of the reasons being that many of the checkpoints and sections don't make a lot of sense. I believe that in somewhere it might have drawn inspiration from, users can set segments themselves? I wouldn't go to quite copy that (because, Strvawnkrs) but if someone who knew an area could set sensible nodal points to base sections on, it could improve the game immensely.

Dvorak Oct 2019 8:23am, 13 Oct 2019 18,090 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak On the map shown if you link a new pair/ beat a time they are shown as A and B. At least, they were for me. On the master map, they show A and B if you click on a connecting line. Although, on my notifications since the change, my As and Bs have been the wrong way round.
