Some more news for you guys, most of which you've already picked up upon but I might aswell announce it amongst the new stuff, so heres the latest changes on the forum:

• EURO 2008 Forum, for discussing the next major international tournament and it's qualification rounds. The old EURO 2004 forum has been included in this forum, as a sub should you wish to relive the last tournament.
• New Moderators
  Gunning4Glory - Arsenal forum
  Hippy_Kitty - Australian forum
  Chazo - Video Forums

And thats your lot for now, be rest assured plenty more will be happening in the future to ensure the forums of SP stay as good as ever

SP Mod Team

thanks for the updates
EURO 2008
i might as well make the England vs Portugal thread right now

Please don't.

Anybody else notice England v Portugal notched up many more pages than the actual World Cup final did.

Hmm good to hear than the Euro 2008 subforum has been made and congratulation to all the members who became mods... hope that you do the job as expected.

Remember girls and boys, Euro 2008 is under tight moderation. One little screw up or insult will be noticed and dealt with. Just a heads up, but have fun anyways.

yeah i did, hence the joke

anyway just browsed the euro 2008 forum, nice job, well organised

Nice updates

Congrats all new mods.

I can't see the Euro 2004 forum by the way, was it took back down?

Would be fun to read back through it.

Great idea keeping Euro2k4 as a subforum.

Since members can't make topics in the announcements forum I thought it applicable to announce here that SP has 55,000 members. That is an extroardinary feat!

It should be included as a subforum within the EURO 2008 forum Marc, I'm pretty sure I've set it up right as Oranje seems to be able to see it.

Hmm it should be here above the pinned topics right?

Am i the only one who can't see it?

nope i cant see it either

Must just be Gunners then eh?

should be visble to everyone. the main forum had been set to allow members to view, but the not the 2004 subforum..

All fixed now.

Feature/Bug fix - Supporters no longer see the promotional message in the forum updates about joining the group.

It has been a little bit since we've had any serious forum changes. With the WC now being a few months behind us, and the Champions League underway, we've made changes to further enhance those sections.

The World Cup subforums have been reduced to a single read-only archive. The primary WC forum is still open for posting as usual.

The Champions League forum has been expanded to include an archive for previous years, and new A-D and E-H group forum during the tournament. Please be aware of these changes, as many topics have been moved from the main Champions League forum to suit these new sections.

Has the literature sub-forum dissapeared for good now?

I believe so. Any topics you wish to start on an arts, Literature or magazine basis shall now go into the Lounge, or so i am lead to believe!

has a new member group been created? And is the admins colour a little brighter red ?

Books & Magazines forum is gone. It averaged something like 2 topic views every day. Such topics should now go to the Lounge.

Yes, there is a new member group. The new group is automatically assigned for new registrations, but has no effect on members registered before the new group was created. The purpose of the group is to eliminate PM spam. So far it has been rather effective.

Admin group color has not changed.

Guys the user legend you'll use is too 'ekh' for my liking.

I could give ya'll a new legend, which I had previously made for my forum.

Here is the screenie:



It has a rollover effect, so when you move the mouse over any of those colours, it will show the name you have set for it.

For example:

If you move the mouse over the red colour, it will show 'administrator'.

Like this:



It is very simple to change the colours and the relative titles on them and even the background image.. So let me know if you'd like it to have it.

I like that user legend, I think it should be used

little too "fisher price" for my liking.

Those colours are just images. It is 100% editable. Including the '+' signs, the colour images and the bg.

I thought that was an exclusive to FF bitch!

I'm going to close this down now as the topic has turned to suggestions and idle chat. Please use the appropriate Suggestions forum for any new ideas. A new topic will be opened when the next major updates take place.
