I have fixed some very minor theme bugs. PON Default theme: Spacing issue fixed: bookmark button now matches the control links. Fixes to styling throughout the forum index, and topic pages. PON Dark theme: As above. Visibility improved by clearly highlighting who has engaged with the content. A dark theme alternative to the "PON Lightweight Theme" is in beta, and will be soon added.

I think it's very promising. Notts always tails off towards Decemeber usually, New Year being a very crucial point, and I think it's a good thing that Jevani Brown is starting to come into it more. With the lack of options between Jatta and David McGoldrick, we need someone to step in when one or the other needs resting. We have a tendency to play McGoldrick to the point where he really would benefit from time out, and usually that hits us when we most need him the most. He's handled it well this season so far, McGoldrick as his second half of the 2023-24 season I wasn't all that bothered about keeping him, for another year, and thought he would be more of a 'bench/impact player'. There's no doubt he's been one of the best things about this current campaign, so with Brown coming into things more, it's encouraging that we aren't so isolated with options up top. Jatta will get goals, but my concern is those games where we need the striker to be more involved. That's not his style of play, so I think we have done well to be where we are now considering allowing Macaulay Langstaff and Junior Morias to go, without a replacement hasn't yet caused us any major issues unlike losing Matt Palmer to injury did last season. If we can get to the January transfer window, still being in the top 3 and without being 5–7 points off from the league leaders. I think this would give a real sense that automatics is possible, we could continue to be in the running with them, but I do think it's far more likely that we'll be behind the champions come the season ending. Whilst playoffs isn't a negative, I would hope we avoid them. As, I feel if we are serious about this current campaign, then we need to avoid wasting what start we have made, and use the previous season as an example of how we can further challenge for an automatic place. There's not much that we really need, and I believe squad wise we do have the quality, but every other team come January will be trying to strengthen themselves. I feel this season would be a waste if we didn't try to ensure we aren't limited. A winger and striker on paper, is all we need and whilst a prolific goalscorer doesn't grow on trees or is easily found, we could benefit from someone who is different and can contribute with them.

It's very important we don't put things off, or live subconsciously. Life is already very short, so getting checks and looking after yourself should be the highest priority - despite it being hard times with aspects of emotions, time, and other commitments.

It should be fixed now, with white remaining in the users post area, but being green elsewhere. ????

I noticed the same thing with the PM box. The amount is white, so I need to target the post screen with my changes - as the code I have implemented is doing this.

@Robbie, you are right. I have changed it to a better green on the default skin and white for the lightweight theme. Would you please compare, and then let me know your thoughts? I do like the idea of the likes total being a different colour, but the green prior didn't work, I agree with that.

Update: I have applied some final fixes. I apologise if these effected anyone's experience whilst interacting with PON - however, I could do the changes without seeing it live. Social icons for users have been added beneath usernames. Note: This is the only way that people can see X.com links on mobiles and tablets. Desktop/Laptop.... Mobile/Tablet.... I have also reduced the transparency in the post area for the default and dark themes.

I do miss watching the results come in, I remember when @super_ram used to do the Football pools, and he would be listening to the results to see if he had won anything. It's also some of the better parts of games like LMA Manager, where they replicated the teleprinter and scores being announced.

I went to see Sum 41 yesterday, they lived up to the expectations, and I left feeling it was the best gig I have been too. Sometimes, I feel bands let the fans down but with this being their final tour - after their 8th album. The support band were awful, I have seen them as a supporting act 3-4 times now. Each time, I have hated The Bronx. I get what Sum 41 did, set the bar low with them and then play their own hearts out. It felt like I were being soundboarded (like waterboarding but with terrible sound). It was worth going, as I haven't managed to see them before, and I know it meant a lot to Kate.

I've encountered various accounts regarding his alleged spitting on a match official, which resulted in a stadium ban. Whilst away, I heard Forest fans blindly supporting him and all sorts of things from he had a cough, to he was getting rid of phlegm. It wouldn't surprise me, he seems like that sort of person in my opinion who would overreact and do something stupid in the process. I am not sure if he has any case to stand on though.

Cal Robert's departure came at the right time for us, and him. Even though I felt gutted that he was leaving, Aberdeen was such a huge step-up for him and the fee we obtained no matter how much would have helped Notts. It's great to see him playing so well, plus scoring. I still believe he could play EFL football, but with his injuries and being 27-years-old. I think Notts would want to find someone a bit younger, and less likely to suffer setbacks. We already have a fair few on our books, so it wouldn't be a wise thing in my opinion. Despite this, I would welcome Roberts back in a heartbeat - I just don't believe he fits what we would be seeking now though.

I have applied fixes to the comment controls for the default, and dark skin. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the lightweight theme. That seems fine to me, but if someone who uses it believes that something should be corrected - please let me know, and I will review. I haven't made any changes to the transparency, but I am keen to see thoughts on that. If it needs to be reduced slightly I will make those changes. The +Supporter's badge will be reduced in size soon, so that it fits better. ????

@DangerousSausage: I took some pictures this past Saturday, as we went to Winthorpe to escape a busy Skegness. Yet we planned to visit some of GP's favourite locations, which my eldest daughter finally managed to walk under one of the underpasses in the area. One of the last times she did, she was sat on my mum's knee - whilst Super pushed her into a deep pool of water. We had a storm, where the drains filled, and it left one end with a large body of water. For some reason, Super thought it would be a great idea to push her electric wheelchair through it. Obviously, the electric side had been disengaged but remarkably silly considering it could have caused issues for the battery. I can still hear my mum shouting "Barry" and "stop". ???? Poor Ellie lost one of her trainers as Kate focused on walking through it - so Jake and Ellie didn't get wet. Whilst I just pushed my mum completely through the water, without giving much thought to me getting soaked. I remember it reaching just above my socks, and thankfully mum's battery wasn't damaged. This gave us all a good laugh over the years, despite Super sometimes not showing much of a funny bone. Since GP's passing, we have tried to walk through it, but it's always been flooded. The last time we tried, it was more flooded than the time I have just shared. I could imagine, @Fan of Big Tone laughing his head off at this story. He might even find himself wet from all the laughter. ????????????

I did have plans to show it prior to the change, but with me being on holiday - I just went ahead and made the switch when I got back after going out. I had been testing it on the dev site, I felt quite happy to use it in a live environment because I knew I would get feedback. Why the change? Previously, only the information was enhanced to the postbit area (the area by the side of our posts). I wanted to bring in elements into the mobile side, as I know how a lot of members use it. By default, you lose out on so much information for the sake of keeping the "clean" and "simple" look, but it lacks. There's no content count number, it just displays a badge of your recent achievement. a badge if you are a team member, your username, the post date and time. On desktops, it looked much better with the enhancements, but I wanted to improve the overlook on all devices. The plan was to work on the previous design, but I thought with elements such as sharing posts, post IDs coming into importance with the curation of the "content you may have missed". The one change allowed me to drop several other plugins and one application, which is a good boost to our performance. I have made a lot of changes to the UI on tablets, since this is what I used dominantly whilst I have been away. The enhancements made to the postbit and surrounding UI have resulted in a remarkable improvement. At least in my opinion, and I don't take making changes lightly. Now I am back, with full access I will be fine-tuning things a little further. In the days since the changes, things have massively moved forward. Sometimes you need that feedback to make something work. I personally like knowing people feel comfortable making suggestions and whilst things aren't for everyone. I don't see this as being a step backwards, more focused on moving forward. ???? A lot of good things have come from the funds raised via the subscriptions, this is just part of that. So, thank you for the support. Now, let's continue to make the Pride of Nottingham the community we know it is.

It seems every week, or so, Notts are earning another positive stat, award, or record. It's very impressive! It wasn't that long ago, we would be lucky to have a player in the team of the week, maybe the odd manager of the month reward. These days, Notts collect almost everything, and compete with the top English teams. Such as, the most goals scored as mentioned before. Assists with Jodi Jones, also put us up there with Manchester City players.

I need to re-find my form. ???? @Robbie and @thommo, you guys are storming it right now.

A bug which showed the birthday symbol, but no age has been fixed. Only those who set their full date, will reveal their age within topics. I'm going to look at the transparency shortly.

The age bug should be fixed now, mine displays correctly. NewPie and Member groups now show as white, instead of the grey which clashes. (on all themes) I need to look at making the +Supporters badge a little smaller. The transparency effect within the main post area and user action row, such as @, Bookmark, +, Quote, Edit Report. I'll see what I can do in terms of the usernames which are difficult to make out. I'll check it's not a guest bug, but it very well may be caused due to it loading in for the first time. Please do continue to provide feedback, everyone.

Yes, I'm aware of the little alterations which are needed, and I will sort them ASAP. I come back late Monday, but I hope to have most completed before then. I just have to rely on stealing @super_pie's laptop for a bit.

I see, I will look into making it less faded, and making the quote buttons stand out more again.

That's the sites background, there's a bit of a transparent effect that allows you to see it. I'm certain areas on laptops/PC's this has been around for quite awhile. I may remove the effect if it becomes to annoying. ???????? I think with mods being sent emails about reports, and then also being sent via PM - that should ensure somebody comes on. I noticed this due to an email. Every one to my knowledge has a job, some are in college/uni. Life's very demanding, and I understand the suggestion, but with everyone simply volunteering their time - I don't feel I can ask any one of them to be online at an exact time. I might look into a different solution mind, but I can't promise.

The green around my display/Avatar means I'm online, if it's grey the member is either offline or has set their account to be shown anonymously - which removes the visibility of the online status. My usergroup is yellow, subscribers is blue, mods are orange etc. There's a few things which needs to be fixed, such as the dark mode of the default theme. Yet what you are seeing us out new post bit, which brings better information to handheld devices.

I recently changed the postbit style, so that it looks better, and I'm wondering if this has caused some knock on effects. If you managed to be able capture a screenshot, @Robbie that would be useful. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I thought David McGoldrick put a lot of effort into his performance, and for the most part, he looked the most likely to create anything noteworthy. He gave the ball away a few times, but on one instance he had won it back. He went on to win it back, I thought he played very well.
