    Since the maintenance I have been unable to post from my laptop - I get a forbidden message.

    As @No-Quarter said, try a hard refresh or clear your browsers cache. Your browser is probably running older cached code or there is a session mismatch

    There's been a few more issues this time because the software hadn't been updated for ages and there were loads of changes

    Cheers. Worked.

    On the plus side - we use SquarePOS for our club EFT, and I've figured out how to set up a shop online.

    Processing fees go from 1.9% to 2.2% but it is a handy option rather than just running around on game day. Tracks inventory too...

    @duluth nah is usually only when I am posting a reply, I click refresh, the text is still there but if I have uploaded an image it has to be re-loaded.

    Never logs me out.

    @hooroo said in Maori characters - ū etc:

    [edit -split from a match thread]

    @stargazer How did you get the line above the U in Manawatū (I copied and paste from yours)

    If you have a Mac you can select the Māori language keybord and you'll get a United Tribes flag in the corner where the language flag is (usually it's an Oz flag for NZ based Macs). You can find it under keyboard preferences.

    Then you just hold down option and the vowel and you'll get the macron.

    Might be worth clearing the browser cache too

    I feel like you should start every thread with this, it's such a...

    And I still don't know what a "hard refresh" is.

    @taniwharugby

    Thanks

    I don't get the issue myself. Does anyone else get it? I presume it's a recent issue?

    As usual it's worth clearing the browser cache. There were a lot of changes early last week

    Think I msy have had the issue previously, but not recently.

    Well that was a waste of time

    An error on the last step which I can't fix right now. So we've rolled back to the 3pm backup

    On a positive note - the backups work

    Thank Christ for that! Imagine if @MN5 had to repost his entire meme collection.

    again.

    Doing it manually is possible, but it's more work. This is from that same webpage, and shows you how to do it:

    SR Results Page SR Results SR Results

    Search every Super Rugby Result since 1996

    Aussie Teams and Super Rugby AU are searchable

    No one was asking for this

    Eventually I assume the two comps will combine post covid. So I'll keep the results in one place now.

    Match Details

    I realised we were capturing a lot of info about games. So now that is collected on a single page.

    On the SR & NPC results table recent matches will have a View Details button:

    view details.png

    Clicking on that opens a new page with teamlists, highlights and the top 10 liked posts from the TSF thread.

    The teamlists were correct when they were named. I wouldn't rely on them being correct though.

    Currently the details go back to last years NPC and SR Aotearoa. Over time it should become a reasonable reference of what inane jokes were upvoted in match threads
