Note: I also [mentioned this yesterday,](http://forum.beeminder.com/t/beeta-backburner-goals/2577/8?u=grayson) but here’s a little more detail.

The goal description and fine print are now only available in the `Settings` tab of active goals. This means:

1. **I can’t see my goal description / fine print _and_ my `Statistics` at the same time.** That’s a real bummer, and frustrating. The parameters I’ve set for a goal are often an integral part of meeting the goal—I’m akratic, after all, and it helps to have `Only sessions of 15 minutes or more count` up front and center. Please don’t make me click around for it.

2. **Even though I’ve checked `Make fine print publicly visible`, it isn’t.** (Nor is the goal description.) It either shouldn’t be an option any more, if you don’t plan to show other people a user’s fine print, or it should come back somewhere in the goal’s public display. (I fervently vote for the latter; I very much appreciate seeing other people’s thought processes in setting up goals.)

3. **I can’t access the description and fine print for archived goals at all.** This is frustrating, because the parameters I used in setting up the goal may be useful in the future, and are still useful in understanding the past goal when I refer to it.

One possibility: move the graph legend out of the `Statistics` tab, and use that space to display the goal description and fine print. (The user would still set these values under `Settings`; here they are just displayed.)

The graph legend is purely informative, and really only something new users need. **It is wasted space for seasoned users.** You might put a `View Graph Legend` toggle beneath the `Advanced Entry` toggle on the right side of the graph.
