Tippett?

Only if he gets injured.

I think the downtime was probably a healthy break for most of us!

Agreed!

Thanks for your work guys, it's a thankless and stressful task that you handle very well.

Thank you Dan, and Scott. Always appreciated.

How is the money situation? Do we need a bit more?

Money situation is fine, thank you for asking though Server upgrade only added $8USD a month. I'll probably put a call out pre-season or mid-season I reckon.

Hilarious reading these posts here though.

Bear with me guys, there are a few issues happening with our cloud host, rackspace, as well as the database. If RWO is down, just check back shortly. Apologies.

[Danzar]

Ok, we're finally all fixed up here. Should be smooth sailing! Apologies for the issues.

Hi folks, have updated the RWO banner to a new design Let me know if there are any performance problems. Thanks, Dan

Hi guys

If you notice appearance changes, that's deliberate. I have a colleague testing the site with different images banners etc.

Also, I think the new like button is not functioning like it should, is that the same for anyone else?

Yes Dan, same for me. Seems to want us to upgrade to get more than one button per page when we would have a dozen per page or more sometimes.

Ok, time for a new button, will work in this tonight

I think you had a trial version for 7 days.

Like button fixed

Hi folks, I've increased the maximum number of characters you can use in a thread title to 120. Previously it was 85.

[Danzar]

Hi folks, when quoting posts in your reply, you'll now notice that longer posts that are quoted will be shown within a scrolling box that limits the space it takes up on your screen. To read the quoted post, you can scroll using the bar on the right side of the quoted box.

This should de-clutter your screens.

Hi guys

Thought I'd post a main thread here so you can see it. A few changes you might have noticed, but here they are:

Mobile site - I've switched off the default mobile version of the forum, which means if you access RWO from a mobile device, you will always see the full site. This is important because it will let you post pictures from your mobile and vote in the TLM. It should also fix the issue with RWO not displaying on iPhones. Tapatalk remains unchanged for those who use this app to access RWO.
Like button added - I've fixed it up so it applies to each post. Please use it!
New forum created - buy, sell, swap, trade. Check in there every now and then, folks are often looking for old matches, footy records etc. It will not replace the finals forum, which I activate for September.
Quoted posts - these appear in a box that you scroll in order to save you time sifting through posts and to keep the threads tidy.
Thread prefixes - using one is mandatory now. It was the only way I could merge the Swans forum and the General footy forum.
Thread titles - increased the maximum number of characters from 85 to 120 to give you more room if you need it.

There's also some general appearance changes, which are ongoing.

Any requests, issues or suggestions, please use the feedback sticky.

Thanks all

Dan
