Knowing that Wordpress is so awful about iframes, I totally appreciate that you did as much as you did. Having it up there and updating at least is awesome. THANKS!

In the meantime you could embed just a thumbnail of your graph. For example, here's mine: https://www.beeminder.com/d/goals/mass/graph?style=thumb Could you email us at support@beeminder.com and we'll help figure it out? Thanks so much for showing off your graph! @Wife#1: Ooh, we’re very keen to make sure people are able to add that widget (for obvious ulterior reasons!) so if it’s that it doesn’t like iframes we’ll make a version without them.

It seems to strip out iframe code each and every time I save. I suspect I need to do something as a site admin to enable that (plugin or such) but have no clue what. Do you have any documentation you can point me too? Thanks! Beeminder peeps I have a question… my Wordpress blog is not letting me add your widget (or strava’s dammit).

If it looks clear that you would've chosen to retroratchet on Tuesday then that'll probably feel fair to retro-retroratchet you. :) @Tom: 100MoN? @String-of-question-marks: what a data indeed! @Tanner: Email us at support@beeminder.com and we’ll look at your graph.

@Tom: 100MoN?

@String-of-question-marks: what a data indeed!

(I.e. I just now saw this post and I'm still stuck on a flat goal line for another week.)

So you can make it easier a week from now but not sooner. I see what you mean about how that's maybe unfair for the contest since we called it a practice week and everyone who went below the road got to ratchet it down when the contest started for real. Let me check with our Arbiter of Fairness, aka Bethany, and we'll make the call. Could you email us at support@beeminder.com as well so we know which is your graph? @Liz M: No, part of the idea of Beeminder is that it always has you locked in for the coming week.

I believe this is a temporary anomaly because I've been doing what I know I need to do, I understand fluctuations are part of the process . . . but does Retroratchet work for those of us with the opposite problem? (Note: I'm still on the yellow brick road, just not under the hashed line).
