Launch of the new Speed Leaderboard and My Sails Dashboard

If you look at the site today, you’ll see there’s a new menu called “For Members” at the top, and underneath there are some new sub-menus for “User Registration”, “Speed Leaderboard”, “My Sails Dashboard” and “GPX Upload Form”. Basically , you can now upload your own gpx files using the form, look at them in the leaderboard compared to others, and have you own dashboard for all your sails (like a logbook). And for each sail session, you can look at the details and a map. To upload a gpx, you must be logged in (to avoid spam), and the gpx file should be unique. The code will pull all sail details from the file. The leaderboard will only show the quickest speed for a given member, and anyone can click on that speed to show the sailing session’s details and map. There’s been limited testing so happy to receive any feedback on bugs etc in the Forum that’s linked on the leaderboard page. The gpx file uploads should not be date sensitive, so you can upload much older sails if you want. Apologies to those that cant produce a gpx file from their smart watches or other tech.
