Was this redevelopment contracted out to a random consultancy? And was there any input from actual users of the site? It's absolutely horrible to use now, so much so that the other day I went to check a couple of stats and then immediately closed the tab as I couldn't face it.
Not only is the new Po10 dreadful and not fit for purpose, they are now advertising for a "Marketing Executive", which indicates they plan to monetise it, even though they said they wouldn't (surprise).
Comments disabled on this IG post advertising the ME role, I wonder why?
Can someone explain park run culture in Britain to me? We have park runs in the US, but they are usually like 50-100 person affairs. They are used as workouts by school age runners in the off season and the rest of the field seems to be people just getting some exercise in - the types who only do turkey trot and the big local races. No one is obsessing over it or worrying whether it does or does not show up on results pages - and its kind of assumed you might not be able to find any given week's results in 2 years.
Some of my results have disappeared altogether, as have rankings for actual events that I was ranked highly in all-time lists for. If I'd know, I would have taken screenshots of the old version. It's just a joke and they don't care what people think about it.

A lot of it is on Internet Archive still. You might find your AT positions there.
Thank you so much, yes nearly everything is there. The last capture was taken in 2024 so some is missing, and the extended rankings don't work. I'll let other people know about this.

Seems to be the way to make money in the UK now. Monetise something that was previously free. Offer a basic free service then charge for the full service, or for upgrades to keep it working. Better still, make it compulsory. I suppose with Park Run, said marketing executive or some business advisor will suggest making it compulsory for affiliated running clubs to subscribe to, or race organisers, or whatever. After all, you now have to buy recommended software for the privilege of submitting your own tax returns 3 monthly. And look at the utter s*it s*ow that was the Post Office accounting software scandal - STILL not resolved.
all it needed was a little adjustment for readability on mobile. bizarre bit of ensh*ttification here really. it's just rubbish.
world athletics changing their athlete pages to a much less readable layout was the same sort of nonsense. what is going on?
would love to see any kind of explanation of how this is a "big upgrade". also, why did they have to take the old site down while the new one was being built?
I used a run Britain link to one of my results to get me the right pen for Valencia and they’ve come back to say no because (obviously) the link doesn’t work any more. I’ve got ages to sort it but it’s still annoying to just swipe the old site at a moments notice.

It's a community event as much as anything. It started as a time trial for good club runners but now it's a social enterprise to help bring communities together. I've never seen anything like it in the UK, it's genuinely bigger than god. Societies need more of these things

You might find some of the extended rankings from the links in the side bar of your athlete's page.
I was able to automate scraping the original site really easily using codex ai. I’ve tried to setup an alternative uk based rankings and analysis website
truepb .net
dont want it to be deleted by the mods hence the space between truepb and .net
basically the best thing about powerof10 is its db. It looks like it’s an msql db. I would happily help uplift the front end/add features for free but they don’t want to know. Just want to employ marketing people and waste money.
Well the good news is some legend has recreated the original version of Power of 10. Straight forward common sense in action. But it's still disappointing that some random dude had to take it into his own hands rather than the governing body listening to feedback.
Just a note to say how bad this site still is and that it is seemingly being abandoned already. I did Manchester Marathon and the results are nowhere to be seen on this dud of a site.
