Possible Arderin Beg in the Derryveaghs
Context of comment:On the way down Drumnalifferny and its NE Top on 25. November I started my descent towards the E down to Lough Maumbeg (Loch an Mhama Beag). There is a minor top just E of it (approx. grid ref. B 93955 16182) which could possibly have the prominence to be an Arderin Beg, although this did not sound obvious from below. I stopped for a few minutes by the lough and then for another few minutes at the top for the GPS to settle and the height difference suggested was 16-18m.Message:Maybe it could be worth measuring with proper instruments one of these days ? Note that the col with Drumnalifferny NE Top where I stood to make an estimation of the prominence is actually on the N side of the lough (not visible on the pic). |

Waterford & Wexford Coastal Hills added.
Context of comment:We are glad to announce that we have added 14 further coastal hills this time for the counties Waterford and Wexford. The new hills include Knockavelish 124m just south of Waterford town which is the highest of the new additions.Additional points:As usual we would say it is likely there are errors in the new data. Position for example or names. We are also interested in finding Irish names. |

Introduction and Help
Context of comment:Simon, you have asked for feedback ref the new website feature and here's my twopence worth.First you note that new users find the site hard to get into. It's no easier for the rest of us: it's just that we've got used to its ..... idiosyncrasies I promote it to any poor soul backed on to an arete and have done so for all the years I have been on board; and to a man/woman, they revert to me with how very good the concept and info are but also how very user unfriendly it is. It certainly doesn't have the slick urgency of high end perfume advertising or cars or exotic hols - but maybe that's not what you want. On both your and my experience of feedback it is definitely high time there was an "intro page" at very least and with the basic offerings on show - and that's what we now have. So initiative 100%, concept 100%, direction 100% - but application ... ? The new menus came to me as an overlay to an already very busy and complicated page - and made me reach for the Annadin. Frustration more than migraine - because really all it needs is for the site to open on a simple still background of some mountain icon with these overlays on it. A welcome to mountainviews before you go burrowing into its entrails. So in conclusion, albeit just mine, a very good thing but realised to its full potential perhaps with some tweaking. Lastly - not sure about your observation that the experienced user does "not always realise there are easier ways to do things". It is my long experience in the communication industry that if the target doesn't get it, it's not because the target is dumb; it's because one hasn't communicated it as effectively as one could. |

Introduction and help.
Context of comment:.Hi, you will find a new feature shortly which Introduces and explains MountainViews. It appears automatically when you start using the website and hopefully will shed light on how to get the best out the system. A. If you are an experienced user. Experience has taught us that even people who have been using MV for years do not always realise there are easier ways to do things. Have a look at the explanations and the detailed tutorials. You can close the introduction with a single keystroke If you are logged in you can close the introduction for 30 days at a time. Let us know if the tutorial can be improved. B. GUESTUSER First time users have often told us the website is hard to get into. We hope this introduction will make it easier. There are short introductions to the main things you can do on this website and some longer tutorials. You can close the introduction with a single keystroke. We would welcome feedback. You will need to create an account (very easy), login and post your suggestions in this forum. Restarting Introduction Click on Home => Display INTRODUCTION Thanks Thanks to magicstep for work on this introduction. Correction made If you used this feature and found that the "Close Introduction for 30 days." didn't seem to work, then note: it's fixed now. |

Track markers
Context of comment:Adding markers to descriptionsMessage:In some track descriptions, I see reference to locations that appear on the map as markers (e.g. park at point A, ascent to point B, head towards point C). Is there a summary of how to specify these when writing descriptions (my attempts are failing)?? Thanks! |
