Niall do you/we need any donations to make it happen?
Site changes coming this Summer
- Thread starter Niall
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Sounds great.
huh?You're such a homophobe.
No, just buy me a beer sometime
will we be able to show video/media from more sources other than youtube something like a [media][/media] tag, to cover music, videos etc
The Na'vi are are an honest and peace loving race. I'm sick of all the bigotry towards them.
Sounds great. Looking forward to the real time chat in the match day forum.
Maybe we could have a section dedicated to Status Quo to

looks slick and the new additions sound good as well.
wouldn't mind the skin being changed to your personal preference but I'm not sure if that's even possible - otherwise the default as and probably will be just fine.

Yes, XenForo supports embedding media from Dailymotion, Facebook, Liveleak, Metacafe, Vimeo and YouTube.
No like/dislike function please. If you want to express approval/disapproval of a post, get off your arse and reply!
And please don't interfere with smileys. I love smileys.

Brilliant, now which poor sod has to transfer over the php database of members to the new site.
Yeah, the embeding feature on XenForo is gun. Just copy paste the link and it embeds the video automatically.
For other links there is a extract the heading option too.

Looks good
Looks great. Probably been suggested but it'd be good if there was an option to tell you if someone has quoted you.

It's not far from the truth. In fact baz's role was so pivotal that when Niall broke the news to the modmins he wanted to change the site's name to bazcafe but Wibbs and Livvie were against it. As a team we like to have 100% agreement on these sorts of decisions, so the idea was shelved.
World class stuff. I've been worried quite some time we would end up with an old site seeing other pages pop up and take market shares (users) away with a more modern site.
First of all I would like to congratulate you on taking this step. I can understand it's been a hard decision knowing users are very fragile and sentimental when it comes to their sites. A small change and you could pretty much lose your whole base of users.
I think most people know me as a friend of Facebook and I still hope we will be able to implement that feature one day. It's definitely the best way of communicating and secure future growth of the site. Fresh blood is very important as studies shows an average users life time on a forum is about 5-6 years. Most people who joined us in 2005 have now moved on from their boyhood room to being potential fathers of 2 and all the other priorities that comes with it.
Once again, excellent decision and congratulation on a new site.

Oh please!! Where were you when we had this discussion? I was pretty much alone on the front line.

Will there be automated meltdown thread updates?
Never heard of you.
It's all in his head
The most important question is, will '
' remain when the changes happen?
' remain when the changes happen?Like/dislike is one of the most childish thing, and I hope that we will never have that here.
The new changes look good.

I love this old site, it's like a comfy cosy home with a creaky old settee and worn carpets...but very functional. However, there is always a time to move on and with our 20th coming up it makes total sense. Looks very slick and more up to date, but at the same time..pretty familiar. I suppose really its more like the old house being modernised...
.....ah enough of this sentimental tripe....
Thanks so much Niall for all your hard work in making this the best place on the net to discuss anything united....really looking forward to the new look...

Also, I rather like that each poster can add something in the 'location' box, I have an easier time remembering people by their 'location' than their name. In the working version it appears to be missing.
XenForo, yes!
Ibra is that you?
Long as the
I like the new features but don't like the new look.
Out of the two I prefer the current one.
That's all.
Please no ROFL symbol like RAWK has. That is as obnoxious as RAWK itself.Ibra is that you?

CafeBaz was a far better idea of mine. Not to mention the wall building forum got voted down as well.
That would have been plumbing new depths.
I sincerely hope that Niall chooses to keep this site a million miles away from FB. It seems to be doing an excellent job of retaining current members and gaining new ones without having to trawl the depths of social networking sites. Its reputation as a top-quality football forum is paramount, not "Roney u r boss of red devilz. Sir Forgie iz legend. Y no buy Messi?"
Spot on.
This. Leave FB to the teens and attention seeking twats (ok ok, we got our special people here too
). I like the new look and I hope it keeps it's shape where you can have a proper discussion, that's what it's all about in the endLooking forward to the update!
You don't see the irony in the fact you just posted two words to give your approval to that post, do you?
For parts of the new Match Day section I'm creating avatar like images for each United player, mimicking the back of their jersey. Something like this:
It'd like to make it look as accurate as possible but have no idea what font is used for the current United home jersey. Anyone know? It may well be a custom type face so any recommendations for close approximations would be welcome too.

This seems to cover it
Seen that but it's a couple of years old and not the same font. See the image I added to my original post.
I have no intention of plumbing anyone's depths. I'm flattered but .....
I'd like the option of more smileys....A wrestling forum I'm on has Phil Mitchell smileys.
