5/10/2019 Updates and fixes of note to the US Handicap site as of today. (Mobile Apps to get updated next week.) - Posting images in forums will not create a new topic - We swapped the "holes played" and "tee selection" for clarity. Tee selection is automatically highlighted once the course is selected. - When entering in "FIR", Left and Right are ordered in front of Long and Short - Score / stats entry. Tab order will go from hole to hole by default. Users can change this in Preferences - set the "Vertical tab" to On. - Score detail page - added the display of the gross score. It will be displayed inside the Par/Bridie/etc "donut" graph. - ESC hole score displayed if ESC applied - Re-added the option to mark scores as "Played with a Club Member". Select the "cog/gear" icon to see that option. - Score posting errors - If you started to post a score, then saved the score, then returned to the score (through Incomplete Scores) there was a chance that score would not post once completed with an unknown error. This issue has been corrected. --Jim, GolfNet / US Handicap

Here is another suggestion @Jim - The ability to trim quotes in the forum. It'd be very convenient to be able to trim the quotes in forum replies to only the relevant part that we're replying to instead of the entire post(s) like most major forums allow. Even more convenient would be a quoting system where we could take a multifaceted response and thread our replies in the quotes, but that is a lot to ask for.

These changes are just stupid! Now when I enter my gross score instead of the cursor going to the next hole, it drops down to the block below the gross score. So, to enter my data I now have to enter my score, reach for my mouse position the cursor on the NEXT hole so that I can enter my gross score and again the stupid cursor drops down to the block below the score and then I have to reatch for the mouse again and repeat the process. This will take an inordinate amount of time and inconvenience to enter scores. Either go back to the cursor stepping to the next hole so we can enter all our scores in sequence, or restore the previous system that worked just fine. This method is just insane! By the way, you use two different methods that also make it more difficult to logically enter data. Why not let US use the tab key to step to the next hole when entering data. When entering gross scores the system automatically steps to the right when a digit is entered but on the rest of the data, we are allowed to use the tab key to step to the next hole. Why not just allow us to use the tab key all the time. It is inconvenient to have to remember to do it one way for the gross scores and a different way for the rest of the data. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I would have to agree with always having to hit the tab button to advance. You can change the tab order in the preferences. We did this so people can tab the way they want to. Go to your preferences and turn off the "Vertical tab" option. --Jim The tab feature now works correctly; it tabs horizontally. Thank you for the help. Now if we can just be allowed to tab from cell to cell ourselves, the process will be much easier. Otherwise, we have to pay attention when the software automatically tabs us and when we have to manually tab to the next cell. When entering putt distances, the tab is automatic when the distance is greater than 9 feet; less than 10 feet we have to manually tab to the next cell.

Even more convenient would be a quoting system where we could take a multifaceted response and thread our replies in the quotes, but that is a lot to ask for. Agreed, that would be useful. JD Jim, while we all can appreciate your efforts to "put out fires", I look at the forums and more than half of them are regarding problems with the update to this site. I'm not a genius when it comes to web design but have an e-commerce site for my business www.drmulligans.com that I run and make weekly design/sale changes to. Changes need to be subtle and they certainly should have been tested over and over before publishing them. This update has been nothing short of a train wreck for both the ones that use it primarily as a social site AND for those that use it solely for keeping stats and a handicap in their club that does absolutely nothing for it's members other than "exist". I have come to know, befriend and personally meet MANY people on this site over 11 years. This update has driven away MANY members. Many of them "Legends", and many from my own club. They've simply given up in frustration. As an active club, we have no way to communicate to our membership because the ability to communicate with them via an email notification to their PERSONAL email address has been taken away. Unless someone logs in to this site and checks their feed (of which many do not even know about) they know nothing of our clubs upcoming events. You've also taken away the ability to manage or membership and make it increasingly more difficult to control everything a club chair should be able to control. Most recently, you've been requested to remove Arizona Blue, one of the few chairs of an ACTIVE club and a defender of the site changes from his chairman position. Where do you go from here? I don't know, but I do know that many are choosing to leave in frustration.

The sinus infection I was hoping I was over wasn't as over as all that. The fancy colored doughnut says I had 4 pars!! Huzzah... The heck of it is, I no longer care. This site has a sinus infection of its own. It's all just one big runny, drippy, headache. Fix it, don't fix it, so what! I'll play out the season with the club and figure it out from there. The whole thing stinks of somebody in charge running roughshod over the people who actually know what they're doing. I also detect a hint of low bid outsourcing... Ya got what ya paid for!

I would have to agree with always having to hit the tab button to advance.
