data that doesn't show

[the Ol'Line Rebel]

Hi, another question.

Why do many of the things under the "editing" section for changing info on a horse's entry NOT ever show up for the DB entry?

E.g., "conformation notes" NEVER shows up; neither do foal data/stats. etc. You can type in things for these but they never appear.

As a result, in case someone might have entered it in the editing blanks, 1 has to go into editing mode to see them! They don't appear in the actual entries.

Just something else that bugs me.

Foal data does show up in the pedigree displays, though not on the horse's individual page. Subscribers can see that data, along with the race record, for every horse in the first three generations.

As for conformation notes....I have no idea. Perhaps it was intended to be part of the display at some point, and was just never activated. I heard that some horse owner raised a stink about a less-than-flattering depiction of his horse's conformation, perhaps that is why....or maybe it's just an oversight.
