I'm not really happy with this. Shouldn't the relevance be counted on how often (i.e. number of days) I used one postcode or one comment? Now it's counting how many notes I entered with it (perhaps it was only one day with one brick). :roll:
I mean, every second day over the whole year I get one bill in a certain post code. I will never have a chance to get this postal code in my top ten list, because there was one day in the end of January when I got 3 bundles in the middle of nowhere.

Um, you are mistaken about the "now". The ranking method has always been like that. Your example shows exactly why the change was necessary - a location where you once entered a lot of notes would stay in your top 10 forever, "now" only for 12 months.

Sounds like you're confusing something.

Also, yes, if you really enter thousands of notes from 10 places on one day and then never again but 1 note a day from that other location in the next 364 days ... I guess you'd just have to use the "Last 10 locations" list? Or set this daily used location as your default?

Any chance of getting a per-forum RSS feed? Google points to this phpbb mod to enable RSS. I don't know if it supports one feed per forum, but IMHO even a single catch-all feed would be better than nothing (by means of client-side filtering). Thanks!

It seems to me, that there's a little bug.

To show: This new user has two hits with Tjariet.
In this list the distance of both hits is 0 km. But if you open these hits, the distances are shown (148 km and 36 km) correctly. So it looks like a bug these distances aren't shown in his list of hits. It's not because of caching, because it's so for a few days already.

But I'm wondering, why my top-10-list consists of only 5 locations (allthough I've entered from a lot of more locations, not only this year, but even in this week) ?

Yes there's still a small bug which I will take care of later this week.
Odd, it now is corrected, but still shows the name, and only the name, of the country of Ireland in there.
My NIG stats have finally disappeared. My EBTST stats are still available.

Bugreport:
If I select 'Top 10 locations' from dropdown list within 'New note' page the list will be filled with 10 German top locations. But there is also an additional 11th entry: :flag-it: Italy without any city name.

Not sure this has been suggested before
I was wondering when entering a note, how long it was already circulating
You never really know if you're the first to enter it

An indication could be if it were listed for a note, from the shortcode or serial number, some sort of "first spotted on EBT" of similar notes would be displayed

I like that "first spotted" idea :) !
How about adding "national" in the droplist together with "international, moderated, all" ?

First I thought it was an old Dutch translation, but it's in English, too:

If you click (in the list of your notes) at [edit] (to the right of the note, you want to edit), you'll see in the "Help-section":
Correct note data
You can edit any note you entered in the past 7 days exactly one time. If you wish to make additional changes, edit an older note or have the serial number of a note changed, please contact the support team: Send an email to the contact address (see the bottom of this page) containing the following information: serial number of the note, your username, your email address and the changes you'd like to make to the note data.

Please note that this feature is primarily intended for correcting mistakes you made while entering note data, like a misspelled city name for example. We also encourage you to use this system to add additional information to a note if it became a hit, e.g. describing its condition in the comment field if you didn't enter this information already.

However, please refrain from using this feature to get in contact with your hit partners by editing your comment to something like "I'm so glad you entered this note, <user>, where did you spend it?". Use the forum or IRC if you want to get in touch with the community. Editing the location information of a hit note to prettify it is of course forbidden, too.
Is this information still correct?

For example:
In the first part, it says, you can only change it within 7 days. If you want to correct older notes, contact the support team.
But I can also change notes, I entered a few YEARS ago. Or is it still this way for "new" users?

Second: to contact the support team send an e-mail to the contact address (see the bottom of this page) containing the following information: ......
Is this still a necessary rule, while there's a "support link" in the menu in the left column?

And finally: I wonder if the last sentence ("Editing the location information of a hit note to prettify it is of course forbidden, too.") is correct. Several times I've changed notes after becoming a hit. I know "to prettify" is still forbidden, but if you want to it IS possible.

As far as I know it is indeed for "new" users. (=users with less than 1000 notes)
Please correct me if I am wrong.
