Why am I not on the leaderboard?

[cvcalhoun]

Obscurerichard has now fixed the problems with the leaderboard that we were having yesterday and earlier today. If you’re not on it, please try these things before contacting him. (Note: obscurerichard is in charge of this. I am not in charge of anything other than getting you registered in the first place.)

1. Have you ridden yet? You won’t be on it until you ride.
2. Was your first ride within the past couple of hours? If so, please wait a couple of hours. The leaderboard does not update in real time.
3. Have you joined the Freezing Saddles 2019 Strava club? If not, or if you’re not sure, please click on this link and go join.
4. If none of the above is the problem, please go to https://freezingsaddles.org/authorize. Choose whether to authorize Freezing Saddles to read only your public Strava miles or both public and private miles. When you click on that, you will get to a second page. You can see on the screenshot, below,what the second page should look like if you authorize both public and private miles. You don’t have to give Freezing Saddles permission to read your private miles, but you do at least have to give it authorization to “View your complete Strava profile.” Once you have all the boxes checked that you want, you’ll need to click “Authorize” at the bottom of the page. That should cause you to appear on the leaderboard within a few hours. (This problem arises because Strava changed its authorization code in the middle of registration, not because of anything we did.)

Thank you! I feel whole again…

Thank you for this!

Unfortunately I believe I’ve followed all of the steps (have data from the 1st out there, joined the FS group on strava, checked all the grant access boxes, etc) , but still get an error when doing the oauth for the site. I had this issue when I registered, but thought maybe it was a hold over from last year’s data or something, if I was premature.

Authorization Failed
There was an error authorizing the Freezing Saddles application to access your Strava account.
Error code: ATHLETE_NOT_FOUND

No urgency from me, I just want to make sure I don’t get bumped out for lack of participation

My strava account number is 643261.

I’m getting the same error message.

Strava #7353524

Well, in case Strava hasn’t caused enough problems already, the Strava site has been up and down today. Their status page says everything is fine. Their status page lies. We can’t get Strava to authorize when Strava itself is down, but I seriously hope they will get their act together soon.

If you get that, please try registering for the site with this URL:

That seemed to work. Will begin obsessively checking leader board soon. Thx.

Hello. Thanks to everyone involved for setting up the user interface . The Freezing Saddles Leaderboard identifies me only as “David”. Would it be possible to identify me more specifically?
How about David P. or FFG. The way it is now, even I don’t know who I am) Thanks again.

Who should I ask about this?

Obscurerichard. He’s head of the backend.

I have a similar issue: I am showing as “Eric” instead of “Eric P” I thought I knew who i was, but now I’m not sure. I guess if all of the other Eric’s have a last initial, it is ok, but in case this is a symptom of a larger problem I thought you should know. Thanks

Yeah, this is a bit weird. In prior years, if two people had the same first name, they both had a last initial shown. Otherwise, it was just first names. However, this year, we have people who have the same first names as others without the initial. And Kris N gets a last initial, in spite of being the only Kris on the board.

However, it looks like obscurerichard is already on this one, so I’ll leave him to do his job.

The current algorithm in use is to use only a first name if it is unique among the participants, and to disambiguate using one or more letters from the last name.

I think it would be good to allow logged in users to update their display name without having to get the administrators involved.

The issue is, it’s not working that way. See my comment, above.
