Morning everyone, good to see you all here.

I'll try and work on a few navigation issues as and when I can; newest answers now appear at the top, and I'm working on adding the time/date to each posting.

As I said, there's no charge to anyone for this, and this box can handle thirty simultaneous requests to the database per second, so we shouldn't choke.

If we decide to go elsewhere in the future with a better option, that's fine; I can close this down whenever.

Hope you all enjoy it

Dunx

Answers

Right, some navigation issues; I can add a bunch of categories to make things easier; from what we do, it looks to me like the following categories make sense

Match reports Match preview Pre-match team pick Pre-match meet up Tickets sought/offered Reserves reports Transfer rumours Competitions General footy talk

Suggestions for others please

i can set these up so you add your message into the category. Newest message appear at the top of the category, and the cat list retains all the posting within it; a good way of having the message history.

Comments please

News was always my favourite thread ;))

1. Why do we need to type in out email and name every time we post?

2. Could we not use frames to make navigation smoother?

Like the speed though.

GAV and NICK,/font>

I thought your fave was the superstitions thread Gav. News wasn't bad when we had somebody like you with nowt better to do!

Nick - you can set your system up to keep the e-mail and username. You need to have "cookies" enabled but I'm b*gg*red if I can remember where I set it! However, it works, and it does allow you to delete the coolies so you can set new values.

Isn't it typical Dunc? You go to extreme lengths to set up an alternative BBS and make it as user friendly as possible and STILL some turnip head from Warrington has to come on an mess it all up!!

Thanks for your efforts Dunc. You'll never know how much we exiles appreciate it. Are you married incidentally?!!!!!!

To Jacko: 'am I married' well that depends doesn't it; a holiday snap to my mail box secures the definitive answer....

Hey Jacko. I have to agree. Living near Warrington, I see a lot of turnip heads there. I'm sure one of them must be responsible. Could be Pilgrim - he lives nearer Warrington than me.
