Now if I could respectfully ask MT to mention this major development on twitter with the appropriate link (cos I've got no idea how to add links on tweets) it would be very much appreciated  :cheers

Definitely an improvement, but I think you should change the font to the same one from the forum (and in the footer on the main page)
That current one is a shocker

Edit - Just found out that it's not compatible with IE9, I have to run it in compatibility mode to get the proper font.
Given it's release is imminent and it's more compatible with internet standards than any browser, it's probably not a bad idea to get it working with it
I also checked on Google Chrome and had the same issue

If you're redoing the site, you may as well do it right so you don't have to redo it again soon

Thanks for letting us know Infamy. At the moment we mainly just wanted to have the main page back up to date.

Excellent effort guys! It looks fantastic! One-Eyed, I still reckon my idea of a CMS for the main page with select members contributing would be cool. It would keep the page dynamic, up to date and interesting.

Great effort Guy's, I was wondering when it was going to happen?? Seeing the artical on Cog's comback brought a tear to my eye every time I logged in   :( :( :(

A few more updates to the other OER pages that you access via the main page

We've updated the Stats page in readiness for season 2011 - our plan is to have all player stats updated on a weekly basis

The "Match Day" pages has been updated with the 2011 fixture added

The "Inside the Club" has been updated with the exception of the players. I need Mr OE's assistance with that one  :wallywink

The "On The Prowl" page will be updated within the next few days (read before I head off next week with the family for a holiday  ;D)

The "Live Wire" on the main page is being updated every 24-48 hours

And BTW thanks for the stuff folks  :thumbsup

Hi All,

I am after some stuff please

I've just updated the "on the prowl" page. I admit the contents of the actual page itself is pretty lame (Can guarantee no pullitzer prizes coming my way  ;D) but the main purpose was to try out different font sizes.

I was hoping people could have look and let me know what you think

Font for the body text is a bit small/close from my perspective WP.  My eyesight is such that I use reading glasses for any computer work but it is still a bit hard for me to read - like it is 'cramped' or something.  Might be the font type rather than the size maybe?
