Mentioned it on another thread but it was in Off Topic.
I have planned:
- Migrate to a new forum software, think I am going to be using something called Xenforo, it is a lot faster and newer technology than the current platform
- It will have a new theme, so will be the same sort of colours but look slightly different (If people are interested, I am thinking about this theme- https://pixelexit.com/demo/?theme=Flat Awesome Plus)
- It will be fully responsive, so people using their phones won't have the editing issues. It means the site will just re-size to fit nicely on your phone and tablet without being completely different.
- It will run a lot faster than the current site.
- I am going to split off the football forum and create a seperate section for the politics / court case threads.
- Most important of all, there is going to be a massive cut down on the "beef". Myself included as one of the worst culprits, I am going to look into getting a couple of moderators to help and will try and encourage things to be nipped in the bud earlier when things are going off topic or somebody is kicking off.
Everybody has their views and they are welcome to share them, so hopefully it will be a bit of a "fresh start" where everybody is a bit nicer and hopefully can be more about the football!
Good luck hope it goes wellJust bought the forum software and trying to migrate now. Going to take a while....
That's good news as I hate Tapatalk.
That will still work if wanted, but it also has a responsive theme so you can just use it in the browser.
I'm the opposite, much prefer Tapatalk!
Just run a speed test to load both versions, this thread on here is 5.6 seconds, new site is 1.6 seconds
Will also have Twitter / google login to make it easier to signup / login!
I can but it would be fixedCan we have an automated league table showing us top each week .

Ignore my private message this morning Nick, this will be why I had issues. I think it's because I had SBT saved as a favourite and the link didn't work. I had to search via Google and come in that way.
Oh...and all my likes I've worked hard to accumulate have disappeared. Sh*t job Nick, sh*t job mate.
Can we have some sort of IQ test before people are allowed to post :laugh:
Ooh, we're all members...
Anyway, as an aside never got the concern if things go off-topic. If they didn't, threads would be two posts long!
The endless Grendel v Tony v SBK is indeed worth nipping in, if notthe bud, the massive great tree it's grown into, however...
Totally agree with the "off topic" point. I've never managed/moderated a forum, so I guess you could get people complaining etc. but I've never really got why people take thread management so seriously. Well, when it's connected to a hobby.
I totally understand if it's a professional forum.
Truth told we'll all eejits with too much time on our hands when city aren't playing!
I don't think there is a way at the moment but looking into it.Hi Nick! Just like to thank you for your diligence in administering a very well run site. Will I be able to auto sort the threads from newest to oldest to save having to keep scrolling though especially if there is a well responded topic.
Many thanks once again.
P.S. Do you think there is any merit in having a thread that allows the members to score each player after every game regarding their performance which is then displayed as a table after an update of all that weeks results? I know quite a few players come on the site and I think a table without all the insults would give the players food for thought in how the paying public thought they did. Footballers are competitive by nature and a table could/may give them a kick up the backside
