Hi @Dizzycap

When you open a new thread on the challenge board, it defaults to the standard 1p challenge template - It seemed a good idea to make that the default to make this as simple as possible.

But the tools on that board are looking at any table and calculating what £s you've crossed off compared to the total amount. So you can actually delete the default and make any tables you like as long as the money is in £x.xx format!

I did a quick test here: £59.17 test.

Note that it might not be perfect. Possibly a bug or two if you veer of the standard - My goal was to get the default tested and find out here what members wanted before getting it finalised

@ MSE_Stephen - That's absolutely super! I love the idea overall for the 1p a day challenge and I think it will inspire more to participate in the challenge, especially if all they have to do is mark off the amounts online; rather than a printout which some may not be able to do/obtain, and the system calculating it all. I'm giving this idea a 100%, YES! It works well 🤗🤩.

this looks really complicated now - it was a simple format

Hi

Could you try creating your own 1p Challenge thread, by clicking the button below?

Create 1p Challenge Thread

Simply use the strike-through option to mark some amounts off - as seen in the gif in the opening post of this thread.

There’s no downside. This is just a testing board and I can delete your test thread any time.

It’d be really helpful to get your insight as someone who thinks it’s complicated. Give your honest feedback on how complicated/confusing it is.

Hi Stephen,

I've created a test 1p thread and posted but it doesn't seem to have been posted on this board? Maybe it was a direct post to you with some observations and comments included. If not, then I'm more that happy to complete another test run 1p page and post.

Hi @Dizzycap

I can see it at the top of this board:

That's great that you were able to customise it to your needs.

But I can see that adding 'Total' has also added that to the target in the progress bar.
A simple fix would be to add that below the table because the calculator was told only to look in tables.

I would like there to be checkboxes available, rather than crossing things out - I've made a feature request to our provider for checkboxes. Checkboxes would be useful for loads of stuff in a forum so I'm hoping they'll consider it even though our particular use case would be very niche.

Hi Stephen,

I did wonder about what would happen when I added the total. It seems fair to just add a seperate total on a seperate line at the bottom of each month. I'll give it another go using the strike through……

I can't see any option to just click/tick on an amount box to colour it out; which would be even better as it would be much faster and perhaps less confusing, but might need some programming / background html jiggling for it to work? Just a thought…….
