What is wrong with them. Is the AFL and associated web sights run by a bunch of mental midgets. How hard can it be to take 50 photos and place them on a web site. I could ask my 5 year old daughter to do it and I could guarantee they would all be updated at the same time. I'm not even going to think about the quality of the thumbnails. It's not that hard people. How unprofessional. I suppose it's the club who is responsible for updating the photos. If so someone needs a kick up the butt.

LOL using jpeg images which can't be compressed without distortion instead of gifs  ;).

They might also want to check that McMahon actually plays for us now or did we gain Lindsay Gilbee too as Jordy has him as his most annoying teammate  :wallywink.

WOH!  IM A GEEEEEENIUS!  I RE-SIZED A JPEG!   :o    ;D


Seriously,  Irfanview (WHich is about a 2 meg program btw, high tech  :wallywink) , re-size and re-sample to remove destortion and 30 seconds later its  a winner.

stuff they're hopeless. :shh

Whoever it is building our site they are an absolute joke! Always complete a page before making it live! :banghead :banghead It says in Jordy's profile that he will thrive this year under Rodney Eade!  :banghead :rollin Even I could have completed the player page with correct graphics (as MT highlighted) in under an hour. I say we give the Big "T" the big "A" like the Bombers did and outsource to someone who knows what they are doing.

I guess you've got to ask what revenue are we missing out on due to such a shambles of an official website. The site should be the shop window of the club especially in terms of merchandise, latest videos, etc.

It really truly is a disgrace the state of that site, if I need info I usually look and find it here first.

The thing is it is really not that hard, but because of the standard of the site I just couldn't be bothered even trying to go there sometimes (I am sure that goes for more than just I)  :banghead

And ur right MT if it worked correctly more people would go there more often and sponsors would get good value for money.

Anyone from Richmond read this and want to pay me 60 K+ a year to run it properly feel free to PM me.

The sad thing is it's not like they have to re-create the wheel. As Ramps has shown there's plenty of well-made official sites from the around the world to get ideas from. You have to be a dill to stuff it up like the RFC's site is. What's the point of having all this fancy memory intensive slow loading flash stuff if the site is practically useless and so user unfriendly it's not funny  ???.

All the photos are finally up now including rookies. Still no numbers for the newbies and the player info is still outdated.
