Website and forum changes

Postby Madfrog on Fri Sep 04, 2009 6:04 pm

Hi all,

The forum admins so far:
Joe (jsc)
Stephen (Plastic Puller)
Craig (BUZZ)
Loic (Madfrog)

Regarding the website, I've just requested a transfer to another hosting company and as the transfer happens, it will be unavailable for a period lasting between a few hours and up to 24h. It should start shortly this afternoon (04/09).

Following the end of the transfer, there will be more suprises. But I'll let you know on due time.

Yeah, the transfer completed last night. Everything's being displayed fine in my browsers (FF & IE).
When did you last try to access the website?
Try emptying your cache? Tools->Options->Privacy->settings

I'm a lillte confused.

On the meet list (on the very nice website) it states that campsites need to be booked, are we booking our own pitches this year?

The note to say busses need to be booked suggests this might all just be a reminder for the committee, not too clear.

OK, that's now sorted. Cheers for pointing that out.

I copy/pasted the list on the website like a decent machine would do. Sorry for the confusion...

Just so everyone knows I'll be doing some tidying up of the forum this week.

I'll try to only delete things that are no longer relevant but if there's anything anyone particularly wants kept could you PM me please.

would it be possible to make it so that the latest news boxes are entirely on the screen? I've never been a fan of the '...' links to see the next few words.

Otherwise I think the new layout looks great - nice job Loic!

Just wondered, is there any chance we can add a calendar to the meet list - something like http://www.meetup.com/Detroit-Live/calendar/ so we show all events happening and when - meets, socials etc. Anything that helps my diary planning better!. Also, could the link to the forum be set up to automatically open in a new tab? Just a couple of suggestions...

A google calander would be good, as it could be made available for anyone using it already, to add it to their current calender. What would be realy good would be if the latest news actually reflected the latest club news - about ab evening navigation talk on monday and free climbing on wednesday (which nowhere specifies the date or that this is a one off just when it was posted)

I'll have a look at this. There's a google calendar I'm using already, but it's full of committee stuff so it's not that amazingly useful. Integration with the meet list would take some time which I don't think Loic or I have at the minute, so we'd need someone to make sure it's kept up to date.

For the link to the forum, which one? Or all of them? I generally not a fan of links that always open in new windows, because then the user doesn't have a choice, and like Andy says, middle click normally opens a link in a new tab/window. This isn't the final word or anything though, just expressing an opinion as the person who's most likely to make the changes...
