Hi all,
Quick progress update to confirm things are coming along, but we have struggled over the last week as the amount of racing at Easter borders on ludicrous!
Of course the priority has to be maintaining the existing service and keeping the database up to date so other items have taken a bit of a backseat during this busy time. Nontheless as each day passes we grow closer and Im hopeful my next blog will confirm a date to put through some changes.
I shall keep it at that for now and carry on with the work behind the scenes, when this is complete we will be in a much better position to advance.
Cheers
Chris

Dull but worthwhile
Hello
Just a quick update on the progress we are making behind the scenes. The ratings backdate option is coming along but I have no realistic timeframe yet to give in terms of when they can be added to the Builder. Will keep you updated but its a slow process and we are trying to test every eventuality to prevent a future repeat of it having to be pulled like last time.
In terms of the site restructure, with improvements being added to areas as we do them. This is proving to be an extremely tedious (and to be honest dull) task. Yet, even as we make the small steps along the way we can see how worthwhile it shall be.
The aim is to offer a far more user-friendly layout and provide better tutorials/explanations/examples of all the facilities plus get all the upgrades on we have pending. The outcome will provide a platform to really progress to the next level and utilise the hugely powerful potential of the site for the benefit of us all.
Im really hopeful it will be done in April, but as most of you will appreciate, it is a very very difficult task to get everything just right. We are having to hold back certain pages that are ready, because other areas are directly affected by them and need altered to fall in line, so in many cases we will need to just put it all through at once.
Anyway, thanks for your ongoing support. We will get there and it will be worthwhile. I have promised a loyalty bonus and this will be forthcoming to everyone who has been fair to HorseRaceBase and understands the donation policy exists to encourage honesty, good relationships and long term partnership.
Cheers
