Erm, that's where I put it didn't I?

I thought I put it in the Premier League one? It was above the Liverpool one...


Arsenal
Barcelona

That was my fault Arsenal. Fixed now.

[arsenal_2111]

That was my fault Arsenal. Fixed now.

Oh right, ok then. Where shall I put the Barcelona one? There isn't a La Liga section.

[ftg87]

Oh right, ok then. Where shall I put the Barcelona one? There isn't a La Liga section.

I would make a La Liga section then mate. I am sure other people will want to do other La Liga clubs in the future

[arsenal_2111]

Arsenal
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Benfica

As I have no idea how to make groups etc, I would appriciate it if someone else could do that for the above.

[jod123]

Arsenal

I mean it was directly on the main page as well and the Liverpool one wasn't.

[rancer890]

Nice to see the updates to the wiki page. Great job with all the additions.

Now, since I'm finally home after a snowy day, time to update that MLS page to be the greatest piece of English written since Shakespeare!

[hamilton162]

Just started making a Wycombe Wanderers page. Nobody edit it please as i will finish it tomorrow. I'm really tired and i'm going to bed. See the updated site and you guys in the morning. Feel free anybody to create and edit pages for other League 2 sides, but DO NOT EDIT WYCOMBE WANDERERS PAGE AS I WILL FINISH IT TOMORROW.

[arsenal_2111]

Aberdeen
Arsenal
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Benfica
Cherbourg
Getafe
Sunderland
Udinese
Watford
Zenit

As it stands they are the only threads I have permission to use, but if I get permission for more I will add them.

Well considering that Shakespeare hardly created his own work, basically cut and paste, with some edits, kind of reminds me of some essays I have done in the past, he hardly can take much credit. He could be considered a playwright.

I guess we have something in common then. (wikipedia thank you )

[peter-evo]

Well done lads, great work. Looking better and better, we've out-done the last one in turns of simplicity and accesibilty so well done

[ahmufcwafc]

Peter, did you change the colour scheme a few minutes ago? I changed it back just for now.

I thought I ought to ask what colour scheme do you all think would be best? If we can reach a general agreement then we'll change it. If not, we better leave it as it is for now.

So, what's everone's opinion on the current look & feel of the site?

[peter-evo]

May have been Jod, I have give him as much freedom as you. Maybe we should discuss before editing?

[jod123]

Yeah, that was me. I was wondering how it went back. The colour is fine the way it is in my opinion and not really the most important thing to me anyway as long as the font is legible. I was just checking to see what other colours would look like and I don't think there is a preview button for that so I had to save it but was going to put it back. I wasn't going to change the colour without asking first.

[the man]

Count me in too CP

I know, I hate that there's no preview button. If you al noticed, I wasn't able to get it back to the exact same colour, but it's similar enough now.

[arsenal_2111]

Is there a more Sports Interactive colour? Like, blue, white and black? That would be good. Although it may look like Estonia's flag.

[peter-evo]

Count me in too CP

Ehem, it is my Wiki, CP has nout to do with it Just kidding, CP is my inspiration and I hope he is happy with how it is going.

[jod123]

I don't think you can combine colours for the background. I was messing around with selecting a colour from the Football Manager logo and seeing what would that look like.

[small Mac]

Just an idea for this thread; maybe put the link to the wiki in the opening post? Therefore people who look at the thread can quickly see what we're talking about and hopefully generate a bit more interest.

[ahmufcwafc]

Well, I have the option to select a background, menu, text & link colour. One colour for each. If I tried to make a SI themed colour scheme, I'd probably muck it up.

Good idea. Hopefully CP will agree to it.

[peter-evo]

Yes, CaptainPlanet, would you mind. I hope you noticed in the Wiki that I mentioned that you are the reason this was set up

[jod123]

I'll try changing the colour scheme if you and everyone else like and I'll note down what the current hex values are so if I make a mess of it (which I might ) I can put it back.

Although you or Peter can change it as well and put it back if some of us aren't happy.

Go on then jod, mess around with the values a bit & we might find a colour scheme that we can all agree on. Or are people happy with the current one?

I'll mess around with it then and if people are happier with the current one then I'll put it back.

[peter-evo]

YOU WILL ALL LEAVE IT ALONE, DO I GET NO SAY.

Seriously though lads, do what you like and we can always change it back and discuss the reasons here

[arsenal_2111]

I don't really like the current one, looks very boring. Would change it to a darker blue, keep the background of the writing white and the writing black.

There you go, SI colours

[arsenal_2111]

That yellow is hideous

[peter-evo]

That yellow is hideous

I don't really like the yellow lads.

[ahmufcwafc]

That yellow is hideous

I have to agree. Sorry jod

[small Mac]

Is it possible to put security on the wiki? What i mean is that, for example when a colour scheme is decided upon, is there anything to stop Joe Bloggs coming along and changing it (as well as other things to the detriment of the site)?

Only the wiki admins can change it. That's me, Peter & jod.

[jod123]

I have to agree. Sorry jod

Don't worry. No need to apologise.

I was just picking a colour from the logo and seeing what it would look like. I don't like that colour either to be honest and I was trying different shades to see would it make a difference. I'll try something else.

By the way, is everyone happy with the theme. There are 4 different ones so will I change that or leave it as it is?

[rancer890]

Who made the page yellow?

Added some competition info to the MLS page.

The big one (CONCACAF Champions League) will be written at a later date.

[CaptainPlanet]

First post updated.

Blame it on jod It'll be changed again soon enough.

Nice one

First post updated.

Nice one

[ahmufcwafc]

The dark blue is an improvement, but it isn't exactly easy on the eyes.

[peter-evo]

Thank you CaptainPlanet, you're a legend.

[rancer890]

The dark blue is an improvement, but it isn't exactly easy on the eyes.

Yeah, it isn't the best colour. Better than yellow at least.

[jod123]

As I said above (You might have missed it as I edited in after I posted) is everyone happy with the theme. There are 4 different ones so will I change that or leave it as it is?

[ahmufcwafc]

Just get rid of the green & I'll be happy!

I think we should go back to the original colours.


Edit: The light green isn't great either.

[rancer890]

I prefer a dark blue. Please, no green.

I second ahumfcwafc, original colour was fine...

[peter-evo]

Bit bland though in my opinion... too 'the same'

[arsenal_2111]

Pink?!

You big girl

Btw, why aren't I an admin Peter? Bit rude, don't you think?

[jod123]

Pink?!

You big girl

Btw, why aren't I an admin Peter? Bit rude, don't you think?

Pink is my favourite colour.

No, that was a mistake (I would say that ) I was having a look what a very light red would look like but it was pink I got.

Arsenal, you are not even a member of the wiki.

[small Mac]

As I said above (You might have missed it as I edited in after I posted) is everyone happy with the theme. There are 4 different ones so will I change that or leave it as it is?

I've got no idea what the other themes look like so wouldn't mind seeing the different themes if you wan't to give them a try.

[peter-evo]

Pink?!

You big girl

We decided to keep it at three for the moment mate.

[arsenal_2111]

We decided to keep it at three for the moment mate.

Well get rid of Alan and get me ffs


Btw, I was joking. I don't expect to be made an admin any time soon

[jod123]

That is the Aquafluid theme. It also links the pages at the side.

[rancer890]

We decided to keep it at three for the moment mate.

Can Canadians be admin for the wiki too?

Looks pretty good now.

[ahmufcwafc]

I don't expect to be made an admin any time soon

Well at least you won't be disappointed then

Never disrespect someone in a higher-up place than yourself. I might as well just ban you now

[small Mac]

That is the Aqua theme. It also links the pages at the side. You could probably change the colours I suppose if you did not like them.

No, you can't change the colours if you use that theme.

Ooh quite like the look of that!

[jod123]

Ooh quite like the look of that!

I'll try a different one and see what it looks like.

[peter-evo]

The thing down the side looks a pile of rubbish in that one, navigation looks mucked.

I got rid of the navigation thing down the side, is that alright with everyone?

[ahmufcwafc]

The thing down the side looks a pile of rubbish in that one, navigation looks mucked.

I agree, I prefer the theme we were using before.

Edit: How would you get rid of that Peter?

[jod123]

That is the Bubble one but it is nearly the same as the first one.

[small Mac]

The thing down the side looks a pile of rubbish in that one, navigation looks mucked.

The navigation is still there but the stuff down the left is just all the articles put in alphabetical order aswell.

[peter-evo]

I agree, I prefer the theme we were using before.

Edit: How would you get rid of that Peter?

I've done it, it shouldn't still be there.

[arsenal_2111]

Can Canadians be admin for the wiki too?

Looks pretty good now.

What, are you Canadian?

[jod123]

I've done it, it shouldn't still be there.

It's gone but by the looks of it you could edit it if you want to use it and put whatever links you want on it.

I think it looked bad to begin with mainly because there was too many links on it in my opinion.

Anyway, the last theme I'll put up now.

[small Mac]

That is the Bubble one but it is nearly the same as the first one.

Yeah looks really similar to the original. Anymore?

[rancer890]

What, are you Canadian?

Why else would I not post when most of you are awake? You're all posting and helping members on GQ while I'm in my beauty sleep.

You can ask jod about my Canadian-ness.

[jod123]

Yeah looks really similar to the original. Anymore?

That is the last one. Ironically it is called original but to be honest that is my favourite anyway but it is up to the rest of you as well obviously.

Which one does everyone want?

Oh yeah and rancer is very Canadian.

[ahmufcwafc]

My favourite is the one we had before all the changes.

[peter-evo]

I liked the original best. I also like the layout of our links at the moment. Well done again lads for all the work.

[arsenal_2111]

In that case, no. No Canadian's allowed

[jod123]

I liked the original best. I also like the layout of our links at the moment. Well done again lads for all the work.

I assume by original you mean the one that was one before I changed it and not the current one as the name of the current one is "original".

I'll put it back.

[small Mac]

The themes all seemed pretty similar anyway so i think, like the others, the original one was best.

[jod123]

Everyone happy with that then?

I mean colours and theme.

[peter-evo]

Am happy

For people that add the leagues, could you add it to the front page using the formula 'country - league' to keep it neat, thanks

[arsenal_2111]

I like the theme, but I still find the colours a bit dull.

Then again, I'm hard to please. The girlfriend will tell you that

[jod123]

The only colours you can change as far as I can see are the background that I changed to pink and so on.

The links, text and menus like where it says manage wiki at the bottom.

You cannot actually change the white part behind the text.

And you not joining the wiki, arsenal?

[ahmufcwafc]

I have sent out invites to everyone that edited or made an article. You mightn't get an invite if you haven't validated your account yet by clicking the activation link you get in your e-mail.

Please tell me if you haven't been given an invite, or just request one through the site.

[arsenal_2111]

And you not joining the wiki, arsenal?

I thought I joined when I edited on tbh. But I requested a join now. Please let me in

I didn't get an invite!

Peter did you beat me again or was that Alan?

I was approving your invite arsenal, but it said that somebody else got there first.

EDIT: I see it was Alan.

[peter-evo]

'twas Alan, the attention we are getting is good, hopefully we can get a link somewhere more noticable.

[ahmufcwafc]

One problem we have is that our wiki doesn't come up when you Google it. I suppose it will only get up to the first page as soon as we get enough views.

[arsenal_2111]

Could we ask Neji to add it to the Notice board at the top? Just to get more people alert, when it has more views it could be taken down.

I guess we could all be super cool and put it in our Locations

[jod123]

One problem we have is that our wiki doesn't come up when you Google it. I suppose it will only get up to the first page as soon as we get enough views.

Yeah I tried that as well but that may happen in time as it gets ranked higher.

[ahmufcwafc]

We've had over 800 viewers today, not bad at all

[peter-evo]

Definitely not bad, I would put it at the top of the page.

[jod123]

Are we going to add links to the other club articles to the home page?

[peter-evo]

Are we going to add links to the other club articles to the home page?

The relevant league would be fine, wouldn't it?

[jod123]

The relevant league would be fine, wouldn't it?

Yeah but there are some articles and their league is not on the home page. Bayern Munich has an article that is not linked for example and there are others. There is no link to the German Bundesliga on the home page either. Is there a reason or did we just forget? There is currently no way of getting to it from the home page without going into recent changes.

I said earlier, I made the posts for clubs but I don't know how to make groups e.g. Bundesliga for them. So I had to just leave them there. I said it somewhere, iirc.

Oh ok. I'll add them then.

[small Mac]

A little help please. I just created an article about CA and PA, but not sure how to put it into the Editing section?

[peter-evo]

A little help please. I just created an article about CA and PA, but not sure how to put it into the Editing section?

Edit the homepage, and then place a link of your file in the relevant section. Any troubles, and I will do it

[jod123]

A little help please. I just created an article about CA and PA, but not sure how to put it into the Editing section?

Edit the home page and then under the Editing section type the name of your article and highlight it and then at the top of the screen you should see a little globe icon. Click that and link it to the article.

EDIT: Peter, you can change your location to twice now.

But yours had twice as much detail

[ahmufcwafc]

pnefc22 said that he has already done articles on CA & PA, & that it was only a matter of just postng them up. Maybe you two should have a look at both of your articles & come up with the best article combined?

[small Mac]

OK thanks guys. Also what is the standard font used?

[ahmufcwafc]

OK thanks guys. Also what is the standard font used?

Normal, that's all it says I think. No need to put the link on the front page, I just updated it, including your link

[peter-evo]

I didn't know we could change it?

Nice article btw

[small Mac]

Thanks although i had already put it under the Editing section

I'll delete it from there, i think it is probably better under general.

[peter-evo]

Good article mate, if that's yours

[jod123]

Just made all the club articles so there are links to their leagues from the home page now.
