MyCyclingLog down again?

[ColinJ]

@ColinJ - how do you do a back-up from there?

My concern is that I've got all my maintenance records for every bike on it, which is really helpful.

I have to remind myself every time because it isn't obvious.

D'oh - the reason you are asking me is because MCL is playing up, so what do I do but try to log in to check which page the backup link is on!

There is a link on one of the pages to save a CSV file with your data in and the link is in the top right corner of the page. I think it might be the 'View' page, but I won't be able to check until MCL makes a comeback, assuming that it does!

It's in the Report page - but doesn't include tags in the CSV file annoyingly.

Also, annoyingly, doesn't include "which bike".

Tyke site is back up but the tags are not working giving an error message but updating your distance despite the error.

Can't set a default bike at the mo.

I've set up a new account on bikejournal.com, not sure if that's more reliable or not

 

[derrick]

Mine has not updated for weeks. At least strava logs my social ride, did not want to use it for commutes.

 

[potsy]

Struggled to log a ride earlier but managed it now, seems that the tagging feature is still broken but at least the mileage is still there.

A good few Cycle Chatters used to use Bikejournal a good few years back, but most got peeved with all the ads.

If only there was a cycling based website, say a forum where there was a new feature of mileage logging

Ah. Didn't know that. Will do double entry for a bit and see which I prefer.

C'mon @Shaun! There's got to be a few geeks lovely people on here who would be up for the challenge of developing one?

Yes, I second that, @Shaun. This would I think be a very popular addition to the CC site .

Personally, I got fed up with MyCyclingLog a few years ago, when I had technical issues with it. I tried contacting Michael Watts, the site's owner, on both the MCL site's feedback form, and on Facebook (where Mr Watts claimed he would respond to any feedback), and never got a reply. It's clear this guy couldn't care less about the MCL site any more.

Well, to be fair, we don't know what is going on in his life ... He might be seriously ill (or dead!), or he might be caring for an elderly parent with Alzheimer's, or something else which is preventing him running MCL properly.

He might care about the site a lot but not have the time or energy to maintain it. If that is the case though, it might be better to just hand it over to somebody else who could keep it running reliably, and maybe even develop it further.

No excuse. Some of us have paid money when he asked so he could keep it going. It doesn't take a minute to let people know when it will be fixed. Of course.. if he's dead.. then there you go.

He's a senior software engineer at Strava Inc., so whatever his personal life is doing, it doesn't seem to be preventing that job. I'm justifiably annoyed with him, because he could have given a response to my numerous contact attempts, even a short "sorry, don't have time to attend to your query", but instead I just got no response at all.
