Air travel in testing

It's been a while coming, I know, but air travel has finally been uploaded onto the site. At the moment, it's only open to testers (if you want to become a tester, let me know). It needs a bit of use before I can confidently release it generally, but rest assured that it won't be long now. Also, in the same update, there are a bunch of changes to the profile page and calculation engine. It now takes into account up to a whole year of data if you have it, and it handles inactive accounts (i.e. old cars) much better, so in general the figures should be more accurate. You can also see a list of your top actions on the profile page, so they are a bit more accessible and obvious. I hope you like the updates, and as always, please send feedback through the forum!

Todays updates

More updates today for your delectation. Nothing huge, but a bunch of little things. Various pages now display a yearly tonnage for your emissions, and now you can enter the number of people in your household to work out the share of that per person. A problem with the action page display in Internet Explorer has been fixed, so everyone using IE should now be able to see what actions they can take. There are a whole load of minor graphical/textual tweaks as well.

Oh, and I added fun transitions to the graphs, simply because they were fun and made it look more interesting :)

Take Action!

Today, I've made the action system public. This is a new part of the site which makes suggestions, based on your personal data, for how you could reduce those emissions. There are a bunch of suggestions in there, and if you have any ideas of your own, then if you post them in the Forum, we'll add them to the list!

The release of the action system brings version 0.7 to completion, which was my target for this week. Next week I'll be developing the bit I've been really looking forward to - the social side of the site! This will allow you to view each others profiles, share data, and generally compete to be the greenest!

Action Testing

Calling all testers: I've uploaded some new functionality which only you can see for now. There is a new section on the site which makes some suggestions for actions you can take to reduce your emissions. We're still adding content, so there might not be many ideas on the list, but all the functionality is there now. It needs a good test, and hopefully I'll be able to make it public by the end of this week.
