Site update

Tue, 6 Sep 2011 23:19:22 +0000

The site has just been updated to support a wider range of mobile devices. Everything should now flow seamlessly between smartphones, computer, and even tablets. Please use the feedback link if you have any suggestions or problems!

Breakpoints are in!

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:46:24 +0000

The updates are finished. Next game you add, you'll see a couple of new checkboxes - you can now decide whether or not you want to track "actual" boards hit, breakpoints, both, or neither. You can also set defaults for your future games by editing your profile. Use the Feedback link in the menu if you have any ideas or problems related to the new feature, and thanks again for using BowlSK!

Update Coming...

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:51:58 +0000

I'll be updating the site momentarily with a long-awaited (by some) feature. If you experience any problems, please hit the Feedback page to let me know right away so I can take care of it. Thanks, and I'll let you know when it's all ready to go ;)

A Quick Intermediate Mode Update...

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:00:18 +0000

Just a quick note, a few of you had reported problems with the statistics in Intermediate mode not generating correctly. Thanks for the error reports! Everything should be in working order now - when you save a new game in Intermediate mode, your stats for that series should update right away.

4 Months Already?

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:52:52 +0000

4 months since the last news post... it seems more like 4 days. Several small improvements has been made to site in that time, but this one is big enough that it deserved a fresh post!

Drumroll please...

Introducing... Intermediate entry mode!

Next time you add a game, you'll see a new item between your old favorites, Simple and Advanced. It's still officially beta, but it is pretty solid, and I couldn't wait to get it into your hands. Please let me know if you have any problems with it, or if it's just what the doctor ordered - either way, it's your feedback that drives the site! (P.S. if the game stretches way across the screen, try pressing Ctrl+F5 to completely reload the page.)

New Features

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:27:58 +0000

It's been a while since the last front-page listing that detailed new features going into BowlSK, so here's most of the stuff that's happened since the last time. In no particular order:

RSS Feeds - we now have RSS feeds for news posts, and new series. You can subscribe to them with your favorite RSS reader, or just keep coming back to the front page to check :)
Lots of flow enhancements when adding scores and games. This should be especially apparent when using your mobile device (iPhone, Smartphone, etc), but everyone's life should be a little easier.
Added the ability to retire old bowling balls, patterns you don't bowl on anymore, and centers you no longer visit.
You can now comment on others' series!
Statistics display has been updated to more clearly display useful stats, and hide useless ones.

Have good ideas about what we should work on next? Use the feedback form!

Another Update

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:43:24 +0000

Another round of updates was just finished. This one contained more behind the scenes stuff, but it will eventually allow for more fanciness, mainly in the area of improved statistics reporting. More to come...

Update

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:16:31 +0000

Well, the first major (ok, not that major) update has just occurred! New features include:

This handy news section you are reading now
The ability to mark oil patterns as Sport Compliant
Tournaments

There's probably some stuff that slipped my mind too, so poke around, enjoy the new stuff, and keep letting me know how I can make this better! 2 of the 3 features above were requests submitted by users! BowlSK delivers.
