Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Re: New Direction on CSC
Well said Raydan.

We understand that people will disagree with each other and that debates will rage but what we have experienced lately has been counter-productive to the overall vision and purpose of what this site is all about.

This forum is for the enjoyment of everyone, Blues fans and opposition fans alike. We openly encourage new members to join and trust they will be made to feel welcome regardless of their opinion or view. Alarmingly, this just hasn't been happening enough and we are poorer overall as a consequence.

For Blues fans, this next four to five year period should be the most exciting and rewarding ever in the history of the Carlton Football Club. There will be some tough times ahead whilst a premiership winning player list is built but it will be worth the wait.

Everyone is strongly encouraged to embrace what is going on at the club whilst discussing it rationally and maturely. Personal agendas, railroading of threads and dogmatic views will not be tolerated and there will be consequences for anyone who continues to behave online like this.

Let's move on positively from here and for the long-term please.

Spook,

Why did we move you ask ?

The answer is quite simple, you may recall that we were experiencing server problems in peak traffic times. The site either shutdown completely under the strain or just ran very slow which was not only frustrating for everyone, but created extra work for those people behind the scenes.

We consulted with Spanner who is our IT guru who not only explained the reasons why these problems were occurring, but also strongly recommended a changeover to this new format which is more robust as well as having more features all-round.

In the end, moving sites became a necessity, it wasn't an option for us.

Mr. Mantis,

We are discussing numerous ways of educating the members regarding the many new functions and features of the site. It is anticipated that there will be regular newsletters which include one

We are also reading through the manual to find out how all of the many new features can be of benefit to everyone. As quickly as we get a clear understanding of them, we will endeavour to pass them on to everyone.


There is nothing to stop you from having a play around with things too. As an example, might I suggest you push a few buttons around your page to see what they do to the look of the layout ? The three buttons on the top right really change the view and it is all up to your personal taste how that is set.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: I like the like (Karma) function !!
For all the FB users, this new site has a 'like' (Karma) function where it's possible to 'like' (applaud) or even 'dislike' (smite) a post !!!!

Personally I think it's a great idea !!!


Thank-you for the positive feedback Mr. Amers, we are pleased that you are in favour of this new feature on the site.

You have actually beaten us to the punch with your post because there is a discussion in the Staff Room regarding some promotion & education of the Karma system. We believe that once everyone is aware of its existence and then understands how it works, they will enjoy it even more.

Folks,

There are some regular members from the old site who have tried to log-in using their existing Username & password which they thought automatically got carried over to this new site.

Unfortunately, the carrying over of all registration details was not possible which means that ALL past, present & future members of CSC have to re-register/register to gain access now.

Also, as a number of people are taking this opportunity to register a different ID (and avatar) to what they have used in the past, we do encourage them to list in their profile what they were originally known as to assist with moderating duties.

If you are unsure of what we are referring to there, please look at Dirty Harry's profile and you will see how he has listed 'Jamie007', his old ID in there for clarity.

Best wishes & positive posting.

Here we are in our new home and we must thank Spanner once again for his hard work in making this happen very quickly.

As you may have noticed, this is a different format to the one we have been using for many years which may take a little while for you to become fully accustomed to. The good thing is that there are whole of new features which were not previously on the old site so you will certainly enjoy playing around with those.

If anyone has a question about where to find things on the site or has had trouble with registration or needs to know anything in general, please post it in this thread and one of the moderating team will address your issues as quickly as possible.

Please take the time to look around the site and bear in mind, over the coming week/fortnight, we will be making some minor adjustments so if you notice something different from the day before, don't panic, it's just us working behind the scenes.

Get posting and enjoy the new site.
