have only general chit chat section as open to guests so people who have problems logging in can tell you as a guest on there so you can 1st message them to see if it is genuinly them and tell them to say something like for example jes on the general forum to confim it's really them and re-activate their account?
keep the rest of the forum like brewers chat etc members only

Just to say that I have removed the advertising posts that appeared on the board today and have removed the new member from the forum . In one respect I suppose it is a compliment to Burton Albion that we are now important enough to have people doing this... Thank you those who reported the incident.

Ok, I can appreciate that it looks a bit confusing as the sub boards appear above the main one..I can't see how to change this... but....... this is new format is a trial one which hopefully will.... Allow those using mobile apps to get notification of all subjects and therefore promote all aspects of the board. If this works then there will be less problems non Burton Albion threads being posted or kept up with as they will be on the main boards opening page. Feedback on this thread please. I will merge this with general forum thread in a few days... My one (?!) remaining problem is how to get rid of the old League one section...which I have done Can I have feedback on what you think... Most importantly. can those who use the mobile app give me feedback as to if they now do get notification of the sub boards.

Looks good to me. Didn't like the hassle of going into navigation on my mobile to get at the sub boards but this fits the bill nicely. Only other thought for debate is whether there should be some editing of long threads. Do we really need 18 pages of Ex Burton Players dating back to July 2012. Or even 8 pages of potential new signings which soon become non topical - they either sign or they don't.

I like the long ex player thread, that keeps all that in one place. As for more topical threads, I think they have a shelf life and it is probably better to start a new one every so often.
As for they layout, not keen, seems a bit unhelpful that you have to scroll to find the main board.

They could have at least attempted to post it in the "general chit chat about stuff" part of the forum!
Lol

I agree. ideally I too would like the boards the other way round, but on reflection I do see some advantage to them being like this. Basically by having the sub boards first they are in your face and so people might start posting on them more often... Right that's it for now in terms of tinkering... I am going to amalgamate the Brewery talk thread into the non footie one so that should also help. JUST KEEP POSTING> A FORUM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS CONTENT!

1. Ex-Burton Albion Players Thread - I think this has to be in one in one long thread due to the name of the thread if nothing else. I can't see the point of a thread for every player. 2. Topical threads - I think they would naturally have their own life length. Eg: Potential and New signings thread would start and end when a transfer window opens and closes. 3. Some people are not fans of change, and I furrowed my brow when the new format hit the screens, but you get used to things after a few days.
A more important point to me would be to try and get the board to be a more enjoyable experience for members (and guests who read) and to try to attract new posts and new members. People have different opinions on things, people report things differently, and everyone will never agree en masse on everything (how boring would that be). But to search for a typo, a mistake, a train of thought that is not as verbose in writing as it could be, to misinterpret that and then go out your way to highlight it is childish at best.

Not being funny but I am wondering if there is, or if we can get, a clear-ish definition of what the Press Links thread is all about, for everyone's benefit.
I saw a post where all media stories would go in one thread (although I do not think that is 100% achievable mostly because of match threads and related stories! videos etc.). We had a thread going with Potential signings...etc., that included talk of Butcher signing. But I posted the new story this am about Butcher possibly signing in this thread because I thought that is what this thread was for, new media reports (then an admin edited my post to add several more stories, which is a a bit of a concern as I didn't post those). And we now also have a thread specific to one player signing, Callum Butcher, with several media links in it. We have a new thread about the new fixtures that includes media links. If Higgy signs after his medical where does that media report go, in here or in a new thread?
To me it is a tricky one, I wasn't in favour of the one Media Links thread when it was brought up and I'm still not, and I just wonder... - what goes where - is this thread idea achievable
Again, just looking for clarification or thoughts on this.

Well I just found this thread very useful to get upto date with all the latest stories about us in one place
I think other threads will develop in their own way and will naturally have reference to media stories that are relevant to that thread only
So there is bound to be duplication but this is the thread that you can come to for all the media stories
Some we will be interested in and some we wont
I don't think it would be good if this were the only place to post media link - but it's a good place to come when you want a catch up?

The press links thread is a 'part two' of the old press links thread that ran for months but nobody kept up with it when I went on my round the world jaunt. I couldn't find the old one and so I have created a new version. The same rule apply, just references. Perhaps I have confused people by putting the whole story on there, but because I have had time I did. The idea of it is to create a sort of archive..
What I did do was to post a couple of the stories in full on the main board which I thought would provoke a reply/ comment. I think it is there that I have caused the confusion!

There I was censored.word on a beach in a swanky hotel, relying on a dodgy internet signal, when a fellow League One supporter, a Scunthorpe fan came up. He challenged me to a game of heads or tails, I won, he was a useless tosser.
I looked at my wristwatch and realised the meltwater from the glacier would be running down the cliffs soon.
There was the almighty of fuckups I realised on applying for my last job I had bastardised the language on my form. I censored worded up my ears when I heard a call from the hotel, I ran there and pulled on the door knob. What a sight, 3 chickens, one of them a cock were inside the hotel trapping a waiter against the wall.
I went mack to censored.word on the beach, I felt cheated out of some relaxation. An American went by wearing his fanny pack, he was clearly and Arsenal fan. It then started to rain, at least the water butt got filled.
I felt entitled to more sunshine, but it wash't to be, I went to the bar and asked what beer they were supplying.
Attempt at 17 here!

Haha - The inclusion of 'l y I n g' must be because of certain accusations.

Note to do with Jimmy but wanted to put this at the top without starting a new thread.
What has happened to the sort order of threads. Normally they would be ordered by the one with the latest post but they seem to be jumbled up now?v
"From Norah.... pm me and I will explain...

Norah, if you or admin are putting words in a list to block then this might work.
If you want to block the word green try entering it into the list with a space at the beginning and at the end. That way green might get blocked bur evergreen would appear normally as it is...Maybe?

Sorry, been away from the forum for a bit, so not followed all the changes. Remember on the old CTMD forum where "Gresley" was automatically changed to "whippets"?

Ha ha, yes, I has forgotten that, now that was funny!!! Especially when someone (I may have tried it too) tried repeatedly to get around it and of course it just kept putting whippets!!!
