Ladies Lounge / Re: Blues v Doggies - R4
Disproves the notion that the girls can't kick decent scores. And the Doggies haven't really been all that accurate.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Another School Shooting in the US
Not sure how arming the teachers helps, but it is the US after all. Way back in the 80's when Peter Garrett still had some cred, he said something like "guns are the American solution to everything."

Is this Darcy's graphic design work ?

It's not that great IMO. Feels a little crude.

I'm not sure what it's trying to suggest. The rainbow emanates from the CFC logo - are we the originators of gay footy ? Is the CFC logo a source of strength for the LGBT community ?

IMO, leave the logo as is, and work on something groovy elsewhere on the jumper, like the indigenous round version.

There are a few suggestions for site enhancement.
I doubt anyone would be resistant to changes that make the site more user friendly and increase traffic.
I think it's a case of Spanner finding the time to implement any such changes, so it may take a little bit of time.
If we have a consensus though(no objections or problems with an upgrade) can we say that he has the green light....at his convenience... to proceed with any adjustment that improves access to the site.

Yes, green light from me, and from all of us I'm sure.

Ok gents getting back on topic  C:-)  :P I have spoken to Spanner and he has said there needs to be some sort of consensus and if the members are on board with a change then they would have a further look into it.

There wouldn't be a change to the desktop site as such ? The thing on which we need "consensus" is whether we want :
a. a csc app for ios and android, and / or
b. for the site to be both "desktop friendly" and "mobile friendly" ?

Is that right ? If so, I think all would in favor of one or both.

Agree...I use my desktop for banking/investing, paying bills etc and while I have the bank apps on the smartphone I rarely use them...maybe when travelling.
I try and use my phone as a phone although I do like the alarm/torch features and have a couple of business apps.....much prefer the desktop and big screen so I'm not squinting at a 5" screen.....
Mobile phone use is something I try and avoid to be honest, having a microwave oven to my ear doesnt grab me or strapped to a belt near my orchestra stalls.

Yes, agree EB. I'm one of those dinosaurs that still has a working landline, which I prefer to use when possible.

We're a dying breed, Durante Koala. We're headed for a world where our phones do everything for us, even think. Good chance that in 30 years or so there will be record levels of Alzheimers/dementia! I shouldn't admit this but my phone is for text messages (spelled out!!), live calls and photos. I disable data. And I do all the banking and serious stuff on the lap top. eeeekkk.... :o :o :o

Yes, the Alzheimer's / dementia is a serious issue. There seems to be a fair whack of evidence coming out that "use it or lose it" applies to the brain as much as the physical muscles.

I also send fully worded and punctuated texts, but I do use data for very simple web surfing and checking emails. I've posted a few things on here from the phone, and it works ok, but I wouldn''t like to do it all the time. So Blues15 does have a point IMO.

I remember back in the early days of personal computing, I started on one of those small, all in one Macs, the ones with the tiny 9 inch b/w screen.  Whilst it was quite a thrill, I remember many thinking how awesome it would be to have a bigger, colour display. As time passed, we got up to 23, 24, 27 and even 30 inch screens. And now we're back to screens on phones that, whilst clearly of higher quality than those old ones, are even smaller than my old Mac SE and Mac Classic. I use a 23 inch screen on my current computer and love it.

I guess compromises need to be made if you want to carry chunks of your life with you wherever you go, and not have to carry an anvil. But I find those small screens of strictly limited use.

Yes! That is something that is annoying my browser doesnt autocorrect nor does it put punctuation in where it needs to be. I never put punctuation in my messages because im so used to my phone doing it for me and im not particularly interested in doing it now

Ive also sent a msg to Spanner, hopefully he can do something about atleast giving us the option.

Unfortunately, those stream-of-consciousness posts can be hard to read, and one is sometimes dissuaded from doing so. In order to optimize communication with the other humans, a little extra effort is occasionally required.

Or as I like to say, "Camarades, encore un effort !"  :D
