Jimbokav1971 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yes there is, but I can't work out what's what. There is a light grey circle, and I have posted in them. There is blank, and I haven't posted in them. There is a darker blue ring, (hollow circle). There is a dark blue circle, and I think I have posted in them too. [Edit] Linking to twitter is decent for signing in at least, but I'm not sure what other benefits it offers. [Edit1] I am encountering 2 issues. 1 is that the forum seems to be remembering old posts and wants ton start off new posts with the old post, (as above).n The 2nd issue is that it seems as if Kubi made a post in this thread approx. 1 hour ago, but when i click on the last post in this thread then it takes me to a post by withnail316 that was made in November 2015 and is on page 126 of 126. #confuddled [Edit2] But when I actually make the post, then all the posts miraculously appear and there are now 134 pages.

dafuge Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hopefully this 'background indexing' won't take much longer, the longer threads (like this one) are all over the place at the moment. It does make use of the feature where you hover over a thread title to read the latest post though, which is pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I can now see that dafuge has posted 57 minutes ago, but when I try to click on the 57 mins ago, it instead takes me to a post made by Makoto Nakamura in this thread on Wednesday at 21:15 [Edit] Interesting. When I actually make the post then everything becomes visible and I can see dafuge's post and all 152 pages of the thread. Yes, bold seems to be working fine for me.

deltablue Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thank goodness the thread seems to be complete now. It was frustrating seeing there were new posts over the past day or so without being able to view them. It looks like the process of adding everything back is going nicely (and it did make sense to leave the older threads and posts until later rather than spending a lot more time offline by trying to move everything at once) and the new forum software is shaping up nicely after the early issues.

interesti88 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I wish I can enjoy a small club save but I watch too much football and don't know anything below 2nd divisions, so trying to find an FM story I can relate to is difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All clubs are relevant to somebody, no matter how small they are. Personally, I've rarely got any interest at all in taking charge of "big" clubs, whether they're a fallen giant or not. I'd rather overthrow ALL of the big clubs with a small side I've been in charge of for years and built up. The beauty of FM is that it allows all of us to play the game in our own way.

ManUtd1 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 2 hours ago, withnail316 said: The beauty of FM is that it allows all of us to play the game in our own way. This, a million times over. There are larger clubs in this subforum (and some I'll be taking on in my save, over the long term). For me, the joy of the game has gone through phases over the years -- from managing big clubs, to dafuge-esque challenges, youth academy only saves...now, what I enjoy is the narrative in my head. A long-term "story" that can be told that has a life/world beyond the pitch. Whatever makes you happy -- that's all that matters! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, playing with those lesser known teams on FM has broadened my interest in the real world game - I would never have watched any South American or African club football in real life, for example, had I not visited those regions in the game. The same goes for Europe too - when visiting Czech Republic a few years ago, I impressed a few locals with my knowledge of Chmel Blsany and the story that I had completed Gundo's challenge with them on FM08.

noikeee Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There's nothing wrong with a big club save, but after you've played FM for a while, specially a few particularly easy versions of FM, you start finding that very boring. I remember winning the Champions League with Real Madrid and feeling no sense of achievement whatsoever. This is why I avoid taking over clubs which are on a high (even small clubs which are over-performing), I'd rather take the challenge to build a club myself. It doesn't really matter to me if I have zero knowledge of the players or the league, that's part of the challenge too. I haven't started watching Bulgarian or Slovakian real life football just yet, though... Sorry, that sounds even more boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they lose the Playoff, (very likely considering who are available in that round,), then they are still guaranteed Europa League football. Champions League would be astonishing!

Bedese Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 BATE aren't pushovers, either. Such a good win for them. Does anyone remember an Irish team ever making it to the groups of the Europa League?

Jimbokav1971 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I remember Shamrock in the Group stages because they were in the same group as Spurs and I'm not sure if they held them to a draw in 1 game or if Spurs sneaked it in the end, but I think it was level until late in the game.

Maw74 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah at White Hart Lane Shamrock took the lead on 50mins but Spurs hit back to lead 3-1 after 65mins and that was final score, Spurs then won 4-0 in the return fixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
