A sane Forumite ... quick, Shoot him and Stuff him! Happy

Thanks GashMark6 ... i never thought of looking on the Footie pages ... I was looking for it on Horse Racing, where it seems to be absent (tho I am in the Beta site, I think ... god knows actually) and I'd been hoping to be able to set Horse Racing as my fav, not that important  it was just bugging me that I couldn't see what everyone else apparently could.

I don't like it that 'Horse Racing – Todays Card' now seems more difficult to get to.

Still stuffed here as when I click on Sports it takes me to Beta and loads a list of sports by name but no race cards etc.

The "fix" I have found is to go to a sport heading at the top of the page, e.g Horse Racing.

Click on that and you will now have all options for all sports available in the side list,
plus you are out of Beta!

Yep, getting to that quickly and easily (like i used to be able to using My Marketa) was precisely what I was hoping that Star thingy would let me do.

Most of the time I'm using the API, but my Bot is designed (on purpose) to stop running as soon as the Race has finished (to avoid it betting on Stewards Enquiries, photos etc), so the one time I want to use the website for is when there's a photo or whatever so I can Green / Red Up if the Bot has layed one of the Runners involved and i think it made a bad call.

Now I have to go via 'Horse Racing' > 'UK' (or 'IRE') > 'Sandown' (or whatever) before I can get to the Race, by which time the Result has probably been called.

Progress!

... one of many lurking in the Forum woodwork, but i'm the good looking one Happy

Aunty Post is right tho, if you click on 'Horse Racing' in the top menu bar, then you seem to get the old-style Menu that still has 'My Markets' and clicking on that gets me 'Horse Racing - Todays Markets', which is all i was after.

Just hope it isn't improved away if/when the Beta becomes the Alpha.
