Recently deployed updates

The following items have been deployed to the website and Walks Manager in the last month.

• My Account Cards: Volunteers will now find new links on their "My Account" page to take them directly to the Ramblers training and document libraries
• Improved Copyright Information: Guidance for photos on Walks Manager's walk creation has been improved with resources and clearer guidance on copyright regulations.

 

 

Walk times appearing an hour later than they are

After reports of this occurring to a small number of users we have found this is an issue caused by Apple's operating system on a small number of older iPads and iPhones. The affected devices are iPads and iPhones still running on iOS 12.5.7, which Apple stopped updating and supporting nearly 18 months ago and are typically circa 10 years old.

A few months after iOS 12.5.7 reached its 'end-of-life date', a bug in how browsers on these devices display time zone conversions became apparent, displaying times that have been adapted for BST with an additional hour added. While not widespread, this issue with 12.5.7 is not Ramblers specific and given the age and unreliable nature of third party end-of-life operating systems, it is not possible to develop a fix for this on the Ramblers side.

We recommend users of devices running iOS 12.5.7 to not use them to view walks on the Ramblers website, and either use the Ramblers app on these devices or use a different device.
