website imptovement thread

I realise there are some flaws with the site, and I'm working to fix them, but is there anything else that you think needs changed, or you think should be included? If so, post here and i'll have a look at it!

Working on at the moment:
main page blue is too dark
members only photo gallery (for the photos you get warnings on facebook for...)

Right, I've updated the background colour on the main site, is it any better?

Also, on the suggestion of Eddy, there is now an article comment system (well, it uses the forum), so when someone puts something on the main site, a thread will automatically be created on the forum, and you can comment there. I'll open it just now, but there is one or two wee bugs in the code i need to sort first. If you see a topic named Test or something similar, ignore it as it'll be me playing around.

cheers,

Player profiles
Usual Past Presidents & Captains lists
Austin memorial winners/player of the years
Boaby Dazzlers and Apprentice Dazzlers

Maybe set up a poll for player of the year...though that could be contraversial

the player profiles are there, i just need to add some info to them :)

The past presidents/austin winners are there too (linked from the club history page), should they be made more prominent?

If someone sends me a list of boaby Dazzlers then i'll put that up too! :D

I Khalid's comment gets a vote of confidence 4rm me. Would be good 2 c stuff like that up. Even the poll thing would be a laugh and give the winner 1 of the DL special raffle gifts - 2 cans of Tennants. Whoo hoooo!!!

an archive of old photos would be good too. the one's that have been dragged out every now and again of the hairy 1xv squads of yesteryear are always a good laugh!

AND if you interview vic it needs to be down the gym!

I thinks important to recognise that Nial has done a fantastic job with the web site and his all his efforts don't get the priase enough.

Well done Nial.

yeh i know, and it will once I get round to it! Initially i didn't have a nice copy of it (it was a bit blurry), but I managed to get a good copy a few weeks back (which has since been put on our wikipedia article) so i'll fire it up at some point.
