If you've got any (useful) feedback about the new site, feature requests or any issues spotted, reply to this message and we'll investigate!

New site is looking good. You've done a great job 

A few things I will say is these Google ad popups are a bit annoying can't you use banner ads in the sidebar instead of the header and footer sections? 

 

Thanks for the feedback, It's all very useful.

Re the ads. The side bar ads might actually generate more. My view was the pop ups on the top/bottom were less intrusive than side bars so I went with those. If general opinion is that adverts in the side bar were less annoying I can switch to those on the desktop version at least. I think it might be a big ugly though? Happy to hear what the consensus is though.

Have you considered using the affiliate program to monetize this site? Google search whufc affiliate program looks like there's a program for the club shop that you could use on here. 

Also when trying to send direct mail the auto username search function doesn't work for me if I type in a username ie if I type in stub there are no options that show up to choose from I have to type the full username in and hope the message arrives to the user.


 

To find a member click on the 'Find a User's link above the name entry box in direct message....you'll get a window to search username. It should give you 'type to find' on username, or you can use wildcard (e.g. stub*) and search....once found choose 'select user'.

Wils is the Google Ads man...we'll see what our options are...North Bank is looking at options with a contact if his...we're trying with the Amazon Affiliate approach to avoid being too intrusive...but as with any affiliate scheme if no one buys from it doesn't make you anything and we need to cover costs...the idea with the Amazon link is whilst it only makes 1% if we could get users supporting NT us by using it when going to Amazon, it doesn't need to change their shopping habits but does us a favour....Google Ads is currently the most guaranteed way of achieving the income needed to cover costs. But we're still looking at options.

Appreciate the feedback.

There’s an ignore function? How do I add Hammer and Pickle people to that? Can’t see anything obvious when clicking on a profile. 

Just click on my profile name and then add me as a foe. That’s your ignore function.

I’m always here to help.

I know I've mentioned it before and I understand the reasons you gave for disagreeing with my suggestion.

However, I honestly think that, given the reasons you gave, we'd be better off without the WHO News panel at all.

It consists almost entirely of Hammers News items and basically he's a prolific and spammy, click-bait cսnt whose blatant profiteering and lack of any actual insight is obvious to all. His lurid headlines lead to rehashed press articles of no substance whatsoever. I actually object to this site unintentionally helping this prick out. Also, the attempt that site makes to get hold of all your cookies is close to, if not actually illegal. You have to be very careful not to give it permissions - I think they are legally obliged to default to essential cookies only, you're supposed to opt in, not out.

Rant over.

Better?

Can someone make my avatar taller? It’s a drum, not an old mug.

[Hammer and Pickle]

I believe double posting was only a thing on the old site because it was so slow, Gank.

Would you like this site to be half useless for everyone just on my behalf? Or was that some kind of especially hapless attempt at humour?

[stubbo-admin]

I'll investigate if I can get a meaningful alternative up and running this week...even "good" services like NewsNow include them though. Agree with the clickbait view on it. Claret and Hugh are frankly the same now too.

Can we have one RIP thread pinned and every day the nerd cunts who love this shit can post faux-solemn condolences to the latest obscure musician to have died?

Bring back accidental double-posting but only activate it for spastics like H&P to further enhance their “figure of fun” status.

It hardly matters what you call it, it will still be a thumbs up. A dislike button would just be more clutter.

[Mike Oxsaw]

How about "Salute"/"Swerve" for "Like"/"Dislike"?

[stubbo-admin]

Hello,
I find this likes thing a bit gay. Can we change it to something more appropriate, like "you cսnt"?

I can change the verbage if we can come up with something a bit more 'WHO' that makes sense instead of Like/Likes.

Yeah, well done to all with getting this site up and going.

Thanks for sorting out the new site and the prompt login help. 

Hopefully this puts some life back in the old beast

I *may* have a solution to filtering to view 'Off Topic', 'Football' or 'All'. Have spent two days developing it with ChatGPT as a 'Partner'.

The trade off is an icon (representing Football or Off Topic) will be placed before the Thread Title (and you'll be able to filter them away). 

You'll identify which type it is when creating a new thread (I'll go back and add it to old threads). Or we could just add the icon to football threads, so you can filter to view all or just Football.

What's the consensus on whether this is needed or not?

I don't like it. It would add more clutter to an already cluttered UI. There is no need for a 'football icon' to denote football related threads in my opinion.

I tend to agree. Think I've found a way to do it without needing to add the icon...just classify when the post is made and no visible indicator, but with the filter option to filter the posts displayed (so no more clutter, but with the extra functionality of thread filtering).

I think that could work.  I never used to filter anything (football/off topic) on the old site, so I might not be the best person to give advice though.

Shut the fuck up Vexed you angry old dirty bald impotent virgin nonce cսnt

I mean the amount of cunts will soon be back to full strength I'm sure which will be good, but christ it's nice actually being able to post something within 10 mins.

Still pleased with it.  COYI!

[stubbo-admin]

This is a great addition. 
The Biden thread only has about 20 posts visible for me now! 
​​​​My God the constant bickering and point scoring is tiresome. 

Ha, I've not tried out that function at all as of yet, but good to see someone found it working
