stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 As per the title, I'll be installing a major upgrade from about 7pm this evening, the site will be unavailable for a period of about 2 hours or so.
Dr Octopus Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Just heard the club to make an anouncement at 7.01!
saintkiptanui Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Baj needs to be dropped, he's a f*ckin lialbility.
Colinjb Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 This will take a bit of getting used too. It just seems so much more.... elaborate. Not sure if I like it. Ce la vie!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Reminds me of Football Manager for some reason. It's good though. A bit like when facebook changes, in a couple of weeks everyone will love it and not remember what the old one was like.

Smirking_Saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Dont like it ................But i might get used to it. Looks swish
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE MOTHER F*CKING ARCADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously ?
S-Clarke Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Like it. The new features are nifty, esp. the squad page and the ground guides. Nice additions...good to have everything in one place.
stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE MOTHER F*CKING ARCADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously ? That'll return shortly - the existing arcade is incompatible with the new version of the forum, but I think there is an updated arcade that does work - just haven't had time to put that in place yet.
Draino76 Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Who have we got in the cup? It appears to be empty.
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Does this give me a chance of getting some high scores ?? Liking the Whats new option
Ludwig Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Is it possible to revert to a 'work-safe' (less garish, nothing to do with 'work') skin? I don't like different colours all at once. Fighting for a homogenous forum (Britain).

Fighting for a homogenous forum (Britain). good shout. Hopefully one that hides avatars as well, the amount of times i've been caught at work looking at this...with MB's old avatar bobbing up and down on the screen.

Fighting for a homogenous forum (Britain). The best way to get a work-safe view of the forum is to use the "Archive" feature, which you can find from the footer menu bar. I think this new look is an improvement in terms of the garish colour use, there's certainly not as much colour used overall.
stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 Oh, and there is an option within your user control panel to turn off the display of avatars (and other images, if you so desire)
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Oh, and there is an option within your user control panel to turn off the display of avatars (and other images, if you so desire) And lose out on SNSuns offering ?
sydney_saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 can see this cheeky little fella been quite popular
Micky Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 I no like, but I'm old and grumpy, can't stand change....
saint_stevo Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 (edited) do NOT like............ especially do not like how the players don't quite fit in the banner at the top.... i also do not like having over 10,000 posts, expecially since i got to about 7,000 before and got them wiped back to 0. I need to get a ****ing life. Any chance of a bullet pointed 'what has changed' or 'whats new' like the coloured envelopes, what they all about? Unread, read and replied to? In what order? Granty out! Edited 13 June, 2010 by saint_stevo
It's There Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Change is good...so I keep telling myself! Seriously, big praise to all who run this site- I read it every day.. several times a day in fact! keep up the good work!
St Marco Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Good job to those who did it. I think it looks great!
Matthew Le God Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Reminds me of Football Manager for some reason. That's a good thing then.
Pilchards Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 I like it as its growing on me like the new kit but Im not sure on the banner, its more the players and its a little too plain for my liking. The DATM one is total class though.
trousers Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 Not working on tapatalk - says forum not registered on tapatalk...
stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 Yeah the tapatalk integration needs to be re-done, Baj will do that tomorrow.

stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 especially do not like how the players don't quite fit in the banner at the top.... Looks fine to me... any chance of a screenshot to demonstrate? Any chance of a bullet pointed 'what has changed' or 'whats new' like the coloured envelopes, what they all about? Unread, read and replied to? In what order? The read ones are in red, unread in blue (although I find it easier to spot unread threads because the thread title is bold). Replied threads have a green arrow in the bottom corner. Other new features: :: Better news functionality (I don't have to force Wordpress to work with vBulletin) :: User blogs for full members (with a "Blog This Post" feature which allows you to convert a forum post directly into a blog) :: Stats section with player profiles, fixtures, results, lineups, league tables and ground guides. Those are the main things, I think.
saint_stevo Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 in google chrome, Lamberts shoulder is out the red bit ill screenshot but cant attach on ere can i?
hypochondriac Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 nooo! I lost my arcade high scores??? Damn you Grant. Damn you to hell
stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 in google chrome, Lamberts shoulder is out the red bit ill screenshot but cant attach on ere can i? Do you have quite a small resolution screen? It should fit in most windows comfortably (think it's 1200px wide). nooo! I lost my arcade high scores??? Damn you Grant. Damn you to hell They're still in the database, hopefully the new arcade software will pick them up.
saint_stevo Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 1024x600.......on the netbook........... It has all grown on me a bit already, so i take it all back! Just need a new signing to kick it all off!
Matthew Le God Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 It seems you can no longer go straight to the latest post in a thread. It just goes to the opening post and you have to scroll down.
Bailey Posted 13 June, 2010 Posted 13 June, 2010 (edited) Didn't take to it initially but like people have said, it's similar to the changes on Facebook etc. Once you get used to it, it's really quite impressive. However, I have some reservations about the new banner too, just doesn't look right for some reason, not sure why!? Edited 14 June, 2010 by Bailey
stevegrant Posted 13 June, 2010 Author Posted 13 June, 2010 It seems you can no longer go straight to the latest post in a thread. It just goes to the opening post and you have to scroll down. Should still work fine, if the URL has something like #post757304 at the end, it should jump to that post once the page has finished loading.
