What changed?
A new 'Rugby Matches' sub forum below sports
Easier to find threads by team
(see the categories page)
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/categoriesVisual changes to make tags more visible
Why?
It was getting too hard to find match threads
Every week there would be multiple thread merges as people were creating duplicates.
Or no one would post in a match thread until it was bumped to the top then there would be a flood of comments.
There were even arguments about where certain match threads should be.
Last year there was 3 match thread for one game - bop sub forum, northland sub forum and sports forum.
That's all a bit silly
NPC is 7 games a round.. then add in the RWC matches.. It seems like a good time to put the match threads in one place
What goes in the Rugby Matches forum?
Main match threads and 'man of the match' threads
Basically, if it’s a thread about a single rugby game and contains 'vs' or 'MOTM' in the title then create it in that area
-
Tags
This is how we can easily find threads related to a team
Most threads won't need them
The ones linked from the category page are:
allblacks
cricket
SR teams
NPC teams (not nick names)If you want to add new tags, go for it, they just won’t be on the category page
-
Dark Mode
In the header (or sidebar on a phone) is a light icon to toggle between normal and dark mode
It remembers your setting per device and you don't need to be logged in
-
No more custom skins sorry
Any change (such as the tags being visible on mobiles) had to applied to every skin. Thats too much maintenance
-
Ok, I see a few visual errors. Nothing too bad.
Will fix them over the next couple of days

I see no change at all. Is all the writing now blue for you in the quoted part?

The whole quoted part/window is blue and the writing is black.

@Hooroo This is how it looks on my desktop computer:

@Hooroo I'm on an android device using chrome.

Wicked. I haven't refreshed or anything but it has just changed now!
It looks great!
Although I prefer the black back ground so am going to have to re-read what @Duluth said regarding backgrounds
-
Yay! Dark mode looks good again. Less in your face like the white
-
here to change colour to the darkside
-
Looks great, am using the dark option now. Good move on the rugby matches and province links
-
Have to say well done too. I know first hand the amount of work that's involved in maintaining this website, and since Duluth has taken over he's done a great job.
Nice timing on organising the match threads too, should make following the WC games more entertaining.
If you've not looked at the front page in a while some great stuff on there too. (Hint, click on Match Stats buttons when you see them). Great way to see highlights, match details and team sheets.
