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.

If in doubt, look at each of the squads on paper. France's squad looks excellent, they're just hampered by a retarded manager.

Hence why I've gone for the Goliath with the same selections as well. I'm very confident that at least 7 of the 8 group favourites will do enough to win their group, and if that's the case, that'll give me a decent profit. France are the only slightly dodgy one for me, but it depends on Uruguay performing, and they're just as inconsistent at the moment.

The background is sooooo last season

You appear to have made a rather obvious faux pas there, Daren

Fair enough. The traffic stats from the SFC corporate network shows that there are a hell of a lot of people from the club reading the forum on a regular basis (although that might just be one person constantly pressing F5, to be fair ), so I would be amazed if they didn't use the forum to gather a subsection of opinion. Clearly it won't be entirely representative, as Stu pointed out the 3500 who logged in in the last month is only 8% of those who got tickets for Wembley via the club (and it's an even smaller percentage when you consider how many got tickets via Club Wembley and the Carlisle ticket office), but that's still a much larger group of people with a collective interest than most opinion polls. Yeah perhaps, although I would argue that as long as you have a half-decent grasp of a) how the media works and how your words can be twisted to suit whatever angle the press are trying to portray, and b) how to avoid saying things that are going to wind people up, you won't get too much hassle.

Sorry, are you genuinely suggesting that the club should be allowed to control what the press (whether it's the Echo, Radio Solent, the national press, whoever) write/say about the club and when?? Our own little Pravda... excellent. Doesn't this rather go against your liberal roots? I'd be resigning from the Lib Dems if I were you, I'm sure there's a communist party out there who will be more aligned to your views. And to keep it vaguely on topic. really like the kit. Gets the thumbs-up from me, although the design was hardly much of a secret

The Echo goes to print at 11pm, therefore they can't put it in the paper tomorrow.
