Despite being given an "elite" rating (the highest possible) by UEFA? Aside from the fact that the top division hasn't been called the Premiership for at least two years, you're kidding yourself if you think we've got a fanbase that could consistently fill more than we have at present, investment or no investment. Any money invested into the football club will be with a view to earning a return on it, there won't be any money chucked at things without a clear idea of how it's going to earn more money for Liebherr further down the line. That may be the case, but it seems to me like it's "ambitious" posturing for the sake of it. Jackson's Farm is in an inaccessible location miles away from anywhere with one road in and out. Given how much of an absolute nightmare the Rose Bowl is, with crowds of about 3-4,000, relocating to Jackson's Farm would be an unbearable situation. What is more likely is that Jackson's Farm has been earmarked for a development sale, which will enable Liebherr to get a sizeable return on his investment quite early. I certainly wouldn't begrudge him that, after all he rescued us from oblivion a year ago and it's not as if we've been using that land since we've owned it...

Of course, St Mary's has never fallen into that category...

85 (I think?) low-paid staff laid off, one (presumably) expensive CEO recruited - despite the CEO duties being what AA is supposed to do as administrator!

Dunno if you've noticed, but Saints play in red and white as well

No, you'd have seen all kinds of mess if you were on IE6. All flavours of IE have a slightly different way of interpreting the layout stylesheets, IE8 should (in theory) display the user menu at the top of the header bar, but IE7 probably won't.

It depends on what you've got set in your user settings... scroll right to the bottom of the General Settings page (http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/profile.php?do=editoptions) and you can select which type of edit box you see by default.

I'm guessing MB is using Internet Explorer. IE6 is all kinds of ****ed with the header layout - fortunately it's a very small minority of people still using that browser, so I'm not overly concerned about that

Not just you, Baj did the Tapatalk integration, he'll get that working again today. Seems the smileys are working again now, which is strange as I've not actually changed anything!

Yeah I've just noticed some of the newer smileys don't seem to work, will look at them tomorrow. In the meantime, my bed is calling!

Harsh

The original submission fitted into the given dimensions. Each of the three shortlisted were asked to make - and made - modifications to make it wider, as they had all used transparency to decent effect to ensure the user menu at the top of the page wouldn't get lost.

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.

Do you have quite a small resolution screen? It should fit in most windows comfortably (think it's 1200px wide). They're still in the database, hopefully the new arcade software will pick them up.

Correct

Looks fine to me... any chance of a screenshot to demonstrate? 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.

Yeah the tapatalk integration needs to be re-done, Baj will do that tomorrow.

That won't come back to bite him in the arse, oh no...

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)

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.

Should be fixed...

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.

We're back! What do you reckon then?

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.

I'd press delete, to be honest

No you didn't.
