I am glad to announce that a stripped down version of the new site is now up and running!

Feel free to post any issues, suggestions and any other bits of feedback you wish here.

[EvertonFan]

Fantastic. I'm in awe of your work.

I've checked every other day for its release and just spotted the announcement on Twitter.

It hasn't let me down. A massive very well done sir.

If you ever move on from it, please sell me it for my site!

I'm going to hang out a bit to see what kind of Barca fans there are and discussions but also wanted to point out there are some other good Barca & football sites too

nice mo

[LaFuriaBlaugrana]

I know you must be busy starting school and all, so props for all the work you have time to do.

[chucka]

Very well done!

[FCB-Mo]

Glad everyone is liking it so far even if quality wise and aesthetically, it's nowhere near as good as the latest build of the site I have...

That said, I do need people contributing news onto the site as I cannot do it myself.

Also, I'd love to hear your suggestions for intuitive ways of getting traffic onto the site like, for example, posting headlines and links to stories on Twitter.

Oh, and please do make use of the new predictions league

I'd like to take a more active position in posting news but I'm already spending too much time on forums as it is, I'll try to motivate myself to do it occasionally though. A good main site is a key to bringing people to the forum, especially if linked with a facebook and twitter page.

Any idea when we'll see that?

Are you on NewsNow?

Personally haven't found Twitter to be of any worthwhile use.

Anything will do. I'm not asking for 2/3 articles a day. 1 article every few days would do the world of good.

Nope, not putting any dates on this build as it's the "final" build with all the new features i wanted to incorporate initially on the launch of the new site.

Yeah we are. Twitter has been good as each article seems to be getting dozens of hits which is more than what i expected seeing as we don't have that many followers on there and it's a good way of letting people know we're back after a long period offline.

Any contributor would be of great help, but are you sure you can help seeing as you have your own site to run?

Wise, but no indication?

Judging by your comments, "nowhere near as good as the latest build of the site I have..." I'm assuming the new build is quite different to this. If thats the case, if your prepared to sell the current design once you move on for me to customise, please give me first refusal

Have you sent a mailing to your forum membership? I never received an email....

Your right it does eat up fair share of my time and theres no doubt others on here will be better suited than myself, but if your struggling I can always find the time to put together some basic news updates.

Nope, none. It'll be ready when it's ready.

It's different but in the sense that design wise it's been tweaked slightly but under the hood it'll be the same new system being used on this site right now with a few bug fixes and additions - those being things i pick up on as missing from this system because chances are I probably have missed key functionality here and there

Sounds good. I noticed you don't have any contact information on your site?

Also no adverts? I assume you will be looking at monisiting the site for sustainability in the long run, if the site takes off - which I'm sure it will, server costs will naturally increase.

adverts have been catered for in the next build. As for the contact stuff, again, that was one of the things I didn't have time to complete but again, will be there on the next build.

[FCB-Mo]

bollocks, just realised i never finished off the predictions league.... looks like that's gonna be taken off as well until the next build. fml.
