Equipe Online: Enhanced notification control and account management
Two new features that improve user experience and system efficiency on Equipe Online.
Enhanced Notification Selection - Now Opt-In by Default
We've improved how notification subscriptions work to reduce notification overload. Previously, all notification types were enabled by default when subscribing to a rider or horse. Now, you actively choose which events you want to be notified about - starting with none selected.

When you click the notification bell to subscribe to a rider or horse, a dialog appears titled "Select notification types" where you can "Choose which notifications you want to receive":
- Start list published: Get notified when the rider/horse appears in new start lists
- Removed from start list: Receive alerts when entries are removed
- Results published immediately after a rider finishes: Be informed of individual results as they happen
- Final results published once the competition is complete: Get updates with final placings, typically 15-30 minutes after the last rider
You must select at least one notification type. The system reminds you: "These settings can be changed later under Me, following".
Benefits
- Less noise - No more unwanted notifications cluttering your inbox
- Intentional following - Subscribe to final results only for some riders, start lists only for others
- Better user experience - You're in control from the start
- Flexibility - Tailor notifications to your specific interests for each athlete
Automatic Inactive Account Management (only Equipe Online)
To maintain system performance and data hygiene, we've implemented an automated process for managing long-inactive accounts.
How It Works
- Detection: Accounts that haven't been accessed for 2 years are identified
- Warning: These users receive an email notification about pending deletion
- Grace Period: Users have 30 days from the warning to sign in
- Prevention: Simply signing in resets the inactivity timer
- Deletion: Accounts that remain inactive after the warning period are automatically removed
What This Means for You
- Active users are unaffected - If you use Equipe Online regularly, nothing changes
- Simple reactivation - Just sign in to keep your account active
- Data privacy - Unused accounts with potentially outdated information are cleaned up
- System performance - Removing inactive accounts helps maintain fast, responsive service for active users
Important Notes
- The 2-year period is counted from when you where last active
- You'll receive the warning email at your registered email address
- All account data is permanently deleted after the grace period
Conclusion
These updates demonstrate our commitment to providing a better user experience while maintaining system efficiency. The notification selection feature gives you more control, while automatic account management helps keep our platform running smoothly.
