GIFs get posted as images. You can post the link to your gif file in the image interface or use image tags (wrap the term IMG in square brackets, paste the link right after then close with /IMG also in square brackets).

Try it with this link: https://media.giphy.com/media/t1i8KZ7momVs4/giphy.gif



Remember when posting images the caf only accepts links from secure https sites not http ones.

You're sure that image is suitable for a 5 year old?

How do I put the match day forum on ignore? I don't want to be reminded of this season every time I'm on the home page.

edit: Don't bother. Solved!

I'm not sure thats possible. Last year we had to look at the Europa league final score all Summer long. Would be nice not to have to see it.
Yeah, I found that pretty annoying.

Actually you reminded me we could ignore threads. Now all I see is "ignored thread" since that game stays at the top.

Consider the matter resolved moddies :)

It's this I'd rather not see all summer.


Ignoring the thread doesn't seem to do the trick.

:lol: Forgot about this, I'm mostly a desktop user.

The "let's get down to business" handshake pisses me off even more and for some weird reason reminds me of:

Should we have a separate ‘Travel’ sub forum? I love travelling and have had the privilege of travelling for many years…have also noticed the amount of threads popping up for people wanting to travel and asking for advice / recommendations.

Just a thought.

Keep getting a access denied page when trying to put some posters on ignore. Help ?
This has been coming up a lot the past few months. :D Apparently that has something to do with profile visibility settings, but you can ignore posters anyway by copying their profile url in the address bar and adding '/ignore' (or just 'ignore' if the '/' is already there). Try this, for example:

https://www.redcafe.net/members/sweet-square.77931/ignore

Hiya folks.

Just a quick question. I'm unable to use the smilie function or able to highlight text etc when replying or posting. Any reason for this?

Used to be able to do it

You've probably pressed that cog thing below and to the left of the smilie icon. I've no idea what it's for but if it's highlighted yellow and all the other icons are grey, press it again.

Why was the fridge deleted?

Surely a place for non PL discussion should be allowed in the transfer forum just separate to the main tweet thread?

At the moment we are deciding what is the best course of action for the thread to take. We may revise the rules, or not.

Ah ok I made that thread so we could keep them separate as I do understand it’s annoying for some users.

Personally I’d keep the main transfer tweets as bigger news and United based and then maybe have an “Alternative transfer tweets” thread where you can post lower league stuff? It’s only really Fridge who posts the lower league stuff hence naming it the Fridge thread

Apologies if I'm being thick but with the new Transfer Tweets setup does the original aggregated type thread remain?

I just like Transfer Tweets regardless of League, Country etc, do I now have to check all 4 threads?

Use the Transfer Tweets feed to see the tweets from all four threads in one place. But if you’re into discussing the tweets yes it is now more segregated.

Great work on the tweet feed.

In relation to that poster's question, was it not possible to link back to the post in the particular discussion thread from each tweet or would that take a lot of work/make the feed messy?

It was a nice feature but I appreciate the new format might have made it unworkable.

They feature is still there. From each tweet in the feed you can jump straight to the post and reply directly to the post.

Is that what you’re asking?

Can anyone help me out with an issue on the Tweets thread that's got out of hand recently?

Once I open the page and the Tweets begin to load, it errors out and shows: A problem repeatedly occurred on "https://www.redcafe.net/transfer-
tweets/"

The issue is on IOS Safari.

When did this start happening exactly?
I've had it a while come to think of it but usually it'd just refresh the page and work. Now since the new transfer tweets page had arrived, it refreshes a few times before giving up and displaying that error. Reckon it could be to do with extensions or anything like that?
