Version 1.4.0 is out!
We've fixed a bunch of things that broke over the past year, and added a badge for the parkwalker volunteer role: https://t.co/Y269YIFywn
Thanks to everyone who submitted fixes to help us out!

@rknanda It's relative to your average location, not your home location. See explanation at https://t.co/bFpAQaMhR5 if you're interested.

Coming soon to a browser near you ...

@HelenHeat0n It will probably move the av position a little but unless they're a long way away (will depend how many you've done and where) it shouldn't make that much difference.

@normal_danny Fun fact, while developing the first incarnation where it was centred on a configured home parkrun, if I set your home to Bushy you hadn't completed it!

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@jeanpaultanner As far as we know Firefox on Android still only supports a very select set of extensions that have been specifically vetted, so we don't expect our extension to reappear until their policy changes - who know when/if that will happen.

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

We've fixed a thing: https://t.co/a9Kvek28gf

plus, the extension is available on Firefox again, and it even works!

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@StephenRDawson I'm afraid you are on your own there, we've never tested that.

@mattdarnley You don't even have to be an uber-tourist for the average parkrun location to be some distance away - I'm in that boat. I've done 224 parkruns, including 134 at Winchester, but already I haven't done any of the parkruns within the 33 or 45km circles of my average location! - Andy

@DEvans_Media We'd like to but that information isn't available on your parkrun results page so we can't do anything with it.

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@JoggingTeacher Counts each consecutive different parkrun location until any one parkrun reoccurs (not necessarily your home parkrun).

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@andytuna Different problem there. A Firefox reviewer appears to have rejected all versions of the extension. It's not clear what, if anything, needs to change, and we can't resubmit it for reviewer until we have a new version (with changes). So we unfortunately can't fix it immediately.

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

I hope everyone is enjoying the clean lines of the new parkrun website, unadulterated by random badges from our extension all over it :)

We'll fix it when we can 👶.

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@tushar_pai @xcurlytwigx @parkrun Is it displayed on your parkrun profile page (when extension is not enabled)?

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@Milton1Dave Please also show your appreciation to @russellb , who contributed many of the required fixes!

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

@micksuv @cjurecki It's possible it is only fixed on English-language parkrun sites, so we won't make a proper announcement until we've got it working everywhere, and it is published in all the usual places

@jonathansc When the extension is back working again, try going into your preferences, changing your home parkrun to something else and saving it, then changing it back and saving it. See if that helps.

[Running Challenges @RunChallenges]

Is anyone aware of a list of buggy-friendly parkruns?

@jonathansc Really don't know. Maybe.
