Also, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT EVERYBODY.
Almost every single post we receive has incorrect formatting. Our updating program doesn't parse your times correctly, and we always have to rewrite your posts. It takes you one minute to write a well-formatted post, it takes us much more to fix wrong ones.
Use Lee's first post on the first page to get the correct format for your submissions. Do not copy the last post before yours, since it's almost always incorrect.
PLEASE RESPECT THE CORRECT TIME FORMAT. This is what everybody gets wrong. Don't omit the year, the commas, or whatever. Please write it like the first post does.
Also, avoid spaces between words and double dots. For example, writing "Date :" instead of "Date:" is incorrect. We know Frenchmen are used to this because their language has crappy grammar rules, but avoid it.
We've been repeating this countless times since we started using the forum to update posts, and the updating team is starting to get tired of fixing 90% of the posts that are sent. Please help us keeping the site updated without having to go through unneeded work every time.
THE UPDATING STAFF APPRECIATES YOU USE THE CORRECT FORMAT FOR TIME UPDATINGIt is only two lines long, and should take as much time as it does opening a new tab to access your email:

You can submit like this or list all full track names or abbreviations if you wish.
NEW PLAYERS CAN REGISTER ON THIS THREAD. HOWEVER, THEY MUST SPECIFY THAT THEY ARE A NEW PLAYER AND MUST SPECIFY THEIR COUNTRY.
You can also add your town/region, email and any additional info if you wish, but these aren't necessary.
The Yahoo Groups page can still be used for sending times, but this is
NOT recommended; times sent there may not be updated for weeks.
FAILURE TO OBEY THESE REGULATIONS MAY MEAN YOUR TIMES WON'T BE UPDATED!Please use the
Site Issues &&&&&&&& Suggestions thread for questions.
Thank you.
Original thread info (ignore this if you want)
Due to the fact Yahoo Groups has been "&up"&graded to its Neo version, the parser is no longer able to recognise the format used to make times updating a lot slicker. It has now made times updating incredibly time consuming to do, as I've just spent the past 20 minutes updating 23 submissions inputting certain information to get an update for you and Rookie for the news.
So, the updating staff are trying to solve the problem, at least temporarily if Alex is able to reprogram the parser, by diverting the traffic of submissions onto here and submitting times onto this thread.
