Dear Zwift, this one is easy. When I join an event I am registering for that event. This is my expression of interest in participating, nothing more. I absolutely do not want to join an event TWENTY MINUTES before it begins, I would rather be, you know, riding. Under no circumstances do I w…

:100: ICYMI this ride-destroying feature came up yesterday as well… [image] Ability to go back to whatever you were doing before the auto-join feature Feature Requests Because Zwift’s events are so hard to filter / look for, I often click ‘going’ just to ‘save’ an event …

The Auto-Join feature can be useful. I would not want that to go away. It’s not terribly difficult to un-register for an event if you’ve decided not to go. However, I completely agree that the constant nagging needs to stop. It used to be that if you clicked the [X], the nag window closed and di…

I find it pretty difficult to unregister for an event in some situations. For example, I am smashing it in a race and I keep getting alerted about joining some other event. I can’t take focus away from what I’m doing to unregister or my ride is ruined. Why is auto-join helpful? I mean you can always…

[image] Paul: I am smashing it in a race and I keep getting alerted about joining some other event I can see how that would be challenging. :slight_smile: I try not to register for overlapping events. Auto-join is useful if, say, you’re trying to unlock your club jersey, but the ride s…

Many people want the ability to join an event 20 minutes early. I do it all the time to grab a front-row spot, and then leave the event and go ride somewhere else until 5 min to or so. There’s a fine line between nagging and reminding. The ‘too many reminders’ issue could be solved with a ‘Set Remi…

There’s an enormous difference between getting a reminder and auto-join where if you fail to dismiss the reminder, your current ride is ended. Some kind of reminder is fine. Auto-join should die in a fire, IMO.

Agreed. Defaulting to not joining is better than leaving the reminder up until you click a button, which is better than automatically sending you to the event.

Auto-join should be an option rather than the default. And if a user chooses to have it off, they should have the option to turn it on for a single event. It’d be interesting to see the figures on how events are entered. Directly from the home menu, auto-join from a ride, or manual selection from a…

I sometimes let the autojoin do it’s thing at the 5 min point. As I mentioned, I’ll go into the event 20ish min early, grab a spot, and then go ride somewhere else. I’ll cancel out of the earlier “Hey buddy do ya wanna join now!?” messages, but 5 min is about when I’m heading back to the event anywa…

[image] Tony: When I join an event I am registering for that event. This is my expression of interest in participating, nothing more. When I register for an event, it means I intend to ride it. Sometimes my intentions change but - once I’ve declared an intention - I’m happy to be encouraged …
