A while ago a number of people said to me that they were annoyed that they had to put their phone number and address down even if they didn’t need a lift. This surfaced when we added the checks to make sure we were getting valid phone numbers etc, since you could no longer put “077URMOM” in the phone number field. Mentioning no names there, except Robbo’s.
In actual fact you never had to fill in these fields, even if you asked for a lift, for this very reason. When we designed the system we knew we wanted to, at a later date, allow you to sign up without these details if you didn’t need a lift but require them otherwise. In the past week this has now been finalised, and I’ve learnt some new 1337 javascript skillz and it makes the fields disappear when you don’t need them – sweet or what? I know, I know, you can shower me with praise in the following ways…
I’ll understand if you want to switch between the different lift options a few times to witness the magic (I certainly did) but just make sure you pick the right one when you finally submit
