Hi Eric,
Wondering if you've ever considered adding the ability to comment directly to somebody's training log, similar to the way people comment to a blog. Thanks! |

Personally, I don't want anyone putting anything in my log except for me.
Aharmer - If you have a training question or a question about a particular workout of some one you could just put a post in a forum with thier name in the title. |

| maybe if you could approve a list of users who could comment. I have friends/running partners IRL that I'd be happy to have comment on my log. And I'd like to comment on theirs when they say something funny! |

"If you have a training question or a question about a particular workout of some one you could just put a post in a forum with thier name in the title."
No offence, but that's a horrible idea. The forums would be littered with garbage posts that mean absolutely nothing to 99.9% of the RA community. Can you imagine? Posts like "Hey JoeBlow-sorry to hear about your stomach 'issues' on your run today!".
Commenting on someones log is a great idea and one I've wished for the past 3 years on here. All there needs to be is a privacy box you could click so noone else can comment on your log, just as there's a way to only let certain users see your training log. It's surely easier said then done, but still something that would be great to have. |
Nobody cares what you didn't do.

| I believe (he said, with fingers crossed) that a private message system is in the works. When and if implemented, you could simply send a PM to a user if you had a question or comments about their log. |

You realize this already happens right? It happens more so in the User Groups, but it happens in the general forums as well. Sometimes those threads are the most informative b/c we get real-world expereinces explained/discussed. If there is a thread that doesn't interest/apply to you just don't open it.
As I said before I don't want any random person commenting on my log, it is my log and mine alone. If, as some have suggested there is a private message feature or something of the sort then that would be fine

I agree that you (and anyone else) has the right to protect the log from comments posted by strangers.
It is different though, to compare personal notes, comments, motivators that a person might post on another friends log entry, and can't be compared to general postings in the forums section. I used a very PG example above. I don't think the forums need new topic after new topic of comments that are geared towards someone elses workout that day, and likely are fairly private.
The key is having a checkbox option to have the choice of whether you want others, others in your user group, or noone to have the ability to comment on your log entry. |

This is my vote as well.
The only way I would like it is if it were a separate message area not conflicting with training notes, and a person had to be authorized by me to post there. |
Sometimes it doesn't matter where the train is going, just that you get on.

| This is on my wish list (as opposed to must have list). I won't be able to do this until I get GPS import completed. I might fast track private messaging, depending on how complex GPS import is. |

I think a group of users that are allowed to comment would be good. I have a couple of teammates and my coach on here, so I'd like to give and receive feedback. Also maybe a "public" and "private" running description section? That may keep some embarrassment out of the way..  I guess you can make a private note already, so something like that.
