Its true, we had personal blogs and nobody really used them to be honest.

They're a good idea, but its a matter of trying to get people to post in them thats the tricky bit...[/b]

Its far better to have a select number of blogs from staff, and possibly members (at a later date) than everyone writing a blog... The idea we are trying to get is to make it more of a magazine basis on the forum, but with the interactivity of the forum still..

I suppose the idea you're using is a bit better, then. Putting blogs on the portal page for all to see sounds great, as long as they're regularly written.

 

[Prestwick]

Don't worry...

 

[jonathanumpherville]

I think it's nice, though like others have said a few more templates / layouts could be used. Is this software similar to phpBB? You can import regular standard templates, rename them and have them as an opinion in ones profile, if it is similar to that software. If not, I think a change of colors, something easy on the eyes but something new would be cool. The standard blue forum software templates are somewhat boring.

 

[getofmeland]

The problem with more templates means any modifications we do, we need to replicate over, which is a lot more work, I may eventually get round to it, but ideally at the moment want to keep it basic, so we can iron out any problems, I won't rule it out tho...

But cheers for the suggestion

I'm getting quite excited about the changes. So far it's starting to offer an opportunity for new ideas and direction. It's not just a visual overhaul.

 

[Prestwick]

Yeah, we actually do need someone to do a regular SH/S14/3N Blog. Any takers?

I was wondering what you were talking about first. But I agree with that; my idea was to use a gun, rather than a whip, but a whip is far better! >.>

First thing I thought when I read that was "Gay-Guy".

I'm thinking about maybe myself going turn-about with an aussie? That'd be a good blog surely?

 

[Prestwick]

If you guys can get something together down there, maybe even getting a Saffer on the job too to ease the work load, then that'd be great.

 

[shtove]

Has it been a year since I spent money on this site?

Done and done.

Great value.

Yes I agree. Our local paper does something like that with columnists in the sports section. A different one each day, so it's not just one persons tired opinion after a while. Three would be good, unless we can find an Argentine, lol.

 

[Prestwick]

More the merrier, if you can get something together before this weekend coming I can get the ball rolling for you. We desperately need a SH blog and remember, anything will do for posts. Allot of blogs tend to use links to news articles as starting points for discussion for example.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

CA, Please do a blog, stuff like that would be fantastic.

 

[C A Iversen]

I'm keen for that. I'll probably post opinion pieces on any major sporting event, but try to keep rugby front and centre most of the time.

Cheers Dan. I'm thinking that it could be a hell of a lot easier if I'm sharing the load with a Saffa and an Aussie.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Well, the more the merrier, as Pete said earlier. B)

 

[InsaneAsylum]

new forum looks awesome, good work guys

so i tried to +rep someone and got "Your group has been restricted from changing members reputation" ??

Anyways a think its a good change. Bit more modern and convenient for the user, which for me will take getting used to having gotten used to the old'ish one. Kudos!

I've a feeling that hiccup will be sorted out soonish.
