    There's a few new features on the website

    1. Update main page with more useful info on it
    2. A searchable Highlights page
    3. Match Details page to give a TSF summary of games

    Main Page

    Screenshot 2024-08-16 at 2.59.51 PM 2.png

    1 Articles

    Four most recent articles

    We have less of these nowadays.. More people posting from a phone/tablet means less lengthy posts etc

    I'll add a link to Article archives soon


    2 Upcoming Matches

    Similar to before.

    Clicking on a match will take you to the match thread


    3 Interesting Posts

    Because we have less articles. Here's some of the better forum posts in recent days

    It's limited to Sports/Match threads

    Clicking on them takes you to a larger view and you have an option to navigate to the post in the forum


    4 Recent Highlights

    Recent Match Highlights

    Click on the match names loads a different highlight video


    5 Current Topics

    Just a list of recently replied to Sports/Match threads.

    Clicking on them takes you to the thread in the forum


    6 Featured Poll

    A featured 'Man of the Match' Poll

    Normally this will be the most recent AB poll. It'll be SR polls at the start of the year

    Highlights Page

    Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 12.57.17 PM 2.png

    It shows all the Highlights videos from youtube that we have in our DB

    So that's every AB game from the 2015 final onwards. Every NPC and SR game from ~2020

    Use the search field to filter by your team. Click the thumbnail to load the video, click again to play

    Note the 'Match Details' button..

    Match Details

    Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 1.01.38 PM 2.png

    Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 1.02.09 PM 2.png

    This is a TSF snapshot of a game

    We had a similar page before but there's more useful stuff on here now

    • Team lists (accurate when they were named, if you need 100% accuracy sites like rugbydatabase that are better)
    • Any related videos
    • Related TSF articles (more likely in the last few years, older articles probably aren't linked correctly)
    • Any related MOTM Polls
    • 20 highest rated posts from the match thread (min votes 3)

    It's surprising how good the 20 most liked posts are for giving a TSF feel for a game


    There's 3 different ways of getting to a match page

    • The 'Match Details' button on the highlights page mentioned in the last post
    • The 'Details' button on any of our AB/SR/NPC Results page
    • From a match thread. If a details page exists there is a green american football rugby ball visible on the thread

    This is probably the busiest match page:

    Awesome stuff, love the polls and the grouping of all the highlights. Great to be able to go back an look at that in the past too.

    Stats?

    Reckon we should just start our own, everyone on the fern picks a player and does their stats.

    I'll take Proctor or Finau.

    @Duluth that's fucking ace, great job. No suggestions as I couldn't have even thought of half of that.

    A couple of style changes on the forum. They should show up with a refresh

    Hopefully I din't break too many things

    Wanted more structure around the posts. Attempted to tidy up the quotes.. I've always hated the way they look.. I'm limited by how much I can change though

    Every post looks like a quote to me now. 😉

    Not complaining, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

    What's that font style? I like it.

    Why are there check marks appearing in each post? What does that mean?

    Mona Sans

    Tick has replaced the up chevron icon. It makes more sense for liking a post IMO

    I like how each post looks a little more distinct and separate. Well played, Duluth.
