If I load up the new beeta site my reading goal looks like this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/4/4916a53c1545600505b0f19389a6112f105787e0.png) Which is a lot less helpful than the current version, which displays this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/b/b869bf22177fc8865dea82c6ba50761b227dcd26.png) I know odometer goals aren’t that common, but it would be really nice to see the useful information. ---

If you click on “X total due” I think it will toggle from the cumulative view to the incremental view. My guess is that odometer defaults differently than Do More? ---

@drtall is correct - once you change it, it should persist for that goal and always use the “+112” format. We default to the total for odometer goals since that’s what you have to enter. ---

> [@apb](#): > > since that’s what you have to enter I guess it’s a little more nuanced than that for odometers which have had a counter reset. e.g. if this is a reading goal and you’re on page 100, you need to get to page 213, not page 121909. 🙂 ---

Exactly. I thought the entire point of odometer goals was the reset feature. If I actually enter several thousands, then i would expect it to assume I read several thousands on top of what I had earlier. Anyway I dig that I can change it, but could it please be made so that this is somehow shown as information to the user? I hadn’t a clue this was possible. ---

Ah okay so it sounds like the bug is actually that we’re showing the “total total” for odom goals that have been reset, instead of the “total since reset”? ---

> [@apb](#): > > sounds like the bug is actually that we’re showing the “total total” for odom goals that have been reset, instead of the “total since reset”? But this isn’t a beeta (new design) issue, is it? We also showed either the delta or the total-total, never the total-since-odometer-reset, right?
