Did you guys fix this? On Chrome it now loads almost immediately and sorts by distance without a hiccup. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm still having massive issues with shipping on Firefox (desktop) and it's only occurring with the shipping page to the point that it freezes my other tabs too. Might have to start using Chrome just for the SIM.

Sorry, don't want to moan or complain! Everything else is perfect!

Is there a way that Location could be a higher priority for display on the barn pages than other items (equip, soundness, weather, etc.) having it be lowest priority means i have to click into every horse to see if they need to ship back to the farm after races... Which is a pain. I know prioritizing will be individual, but I feel like location is higher than last...

And yes, i realize I can "solve this" under manage barns, but it still requires eliminating over half of the other sort fields just to get location to show up... Maybe even a "Farm/Track" Info tab would be helpful in the future. IDK, just throwing out ideas.

Thanks for all the work you have done on the new SIM and being quick to respond!

I wonder how hard it would be to add something allowing all users to choose a their own ranking of priorities on items to display

I fiddled with the column priorities slightly so that Location has a higher priority.
To answer Pete Vella's question about how hard it would be to let each player choose their own column priorities, that would be a big pain. And, it would likely snowball to a bigger pain as soon as everyone realized that they want different priorities on each barn. Currently, the priorities are set for all horse listings and the only influence you have over them is turning on/off columns in custom barns and your screen size.

If there is consensus among the players about how to improved the global priorities, then that would be an easy change.

We may regret this, but here is the current column priority order. Remember that this list applies to almost all horse lists (barns, sale page, search, adding to auction, stallions and stud book). Remember that many columns apply only to certain types of listings and some are always hidden for non-SIMperior players. For example, "Train" is always hidden in a breeding barn.

Let's see if there is any agreement on changes that should be made.

Name
Special actions like Purchase, Races for horse etc.
Price
Entered For
Ran Last
Stud Fee
CB Stud Fee
Races
Train
Location

Bred
Type
Breed
Owner
Stats
Earnings
Last Work
Sire
Dam
Equip
Gallop
Soundness
Condition
Flat Rating
Chase Rating
Booked Stud
Barn
Horse-Type

Location would have a higher priority for me. I'd have train as a very low priority as I don't use it.

I vote that there is no way to make everyone happy, sim 7.1 is amazing, and admin deserves a vacation while we take some time to actually play around with all the changes and see what really is annoying vs what just requires getting used to or can be worked around by doing things like changing columns in custom barns, once we've given things a chance we can start whining in the one small thing thread for future improvements months from now after aforementioned admin vacation.

Please Admin, do not limit the width of the screen on the barns pages. Actually, the default racing barn is the only one who use the whole monitor and where we can see most of the columns. The use of "hidden columns" make that columns unusable and that should be minimized. And thank you very much for the travel miles column, that was neat.

For me, the most important columns to prioritize are the ones whose information can't be easily filtered for using the drop down boxes or quick filter. Though I occasionally do sort by age and gallop in the racing barn, the ability to sort by location, earnings, and most of all ran last/entered for is important. Ditto last worked in the training barn.
Location should be a high priority in all barns as it's the best way to find out if you, say, have any mares or yearlings or whatever scattered around the globe instead of living for free at your place. That sort of thing.

Experimental new thing...
On the horse page of a horse you own, the Owner Actions are will remember whether you had it open or not and will retain that setting until you change it. This will apply to ALL your horses.

For example, visit a horse and click on "Horse Owner Actions" bar to collapse that section. Then click on other horses you own and you will see that the Owner Actions is collapsed on all of them. Then, click the bar again to open the section and you will find that all horses you load will have the Owner Actions open.

Do you like it?

Hey guys,
I assume "worked/ran/entered last" -columns in the racing barn are hidden for non-SIMperior players?
