It worked!!! Although when I first went in it said tracking but after I clicked it came up with the normal option and now it appears automatically. Never mind, it got rid if them, I owe youā¦but then so do most of us who follow the VFL.
Your blood should be bottled!!!
Iād prefer to keep it bottled within me, thanks.

Rolo,
Personally I think itās worth ensuring that Blitz stays up in moments of heavy heavy traffic. For instance if we win a final, I donāt think anyone wants to be in a position where weāve been Blitzing for many many low years but arenāt able to do so in a moment of triumph.
I remember many years back you had a donation drive where people could give what they could to keep the site up and running. I remember donating. Iād do so again if it could be used to ensure Blitz stays up in big moments. I reckon a lot of others would do the same.

I kind of agree with Rolo here. We only need the space maybe once a year?

Yep, but at the most important time (probably a few times a year not just one)
If the members of the forum are willing to pay then all should be good, right?

What does the invite button, invite to?
I wonder how Blitz would go if we ran it for a while with no names, no avatars, and no profile to see who posters are?
You and I would have to change our posting habits so no could work out who it was.
The VFL team never win the premiership, stuff āem.

I trolled the Richmond site many years ago, in better times (sigh), which is why I got this email.
I share it here for your very limited interest.
Hi wimmera1,
As mentioned in my last post on the site:
I am aware that some on the site have concerns about the number of times that Iāve changed the software that runs on this site. I have made no secret of the fact that I like Yellow and Black to use software that I can learn from and perhaps use elsewhere.
With this forum software (Discourse) I have to admit that Iāve bitten off more than I can chew, thatās for sure. While I believe that the software itself is superior to other forum software that is currently available; for a ātinkererā like myself, itās driving me crazy! There are restrictions on many aspects of the software and I am unfamiliar with the programming language - Ruby on Rails - and even less so when it comes to the ācontainerā on the server in which it runs. The software doesnāt even have a setting for closing the site!
Needless to say, this has reduced my enjoyment of the site as I no longer have the same control as I once had. I have tried offering to pay programmers to migrate from this forum to other software. The response is the same - itās too difficult and nobody has ever moved FROM Discourse rather than TO Discourse so they arenāt keen to take it on.
I have decided to move to new forum software which I think youāll like much more. I know that itās certainly much more easily tweaked, thatās for sure! Youāll find the new site here: https://yellowandblack.com.au
Things to take into account:
-
2018 posts wonāt be found here. Iām working on a way to get a read only or to migrate the discussions.
-
Your E-mail address is the same as what it was before the last software move ([email protected]). Iām working on updating them, so if you donāt have access to your old E-mail address, send me a PM with the details and Iāll fix the issue.
-
Iām working on the colour scheme
-
Please donāt log any issues (other than you canāt login)
-
If you canāt login, do a password reset (remembering that itāll go to the last E-mail address you had in December 2017). If all else fails, send me a message
-
Enjoy!
Trolling as Pimpinio_Tigers ??
