Forum organisation idea

Just an idea to make the forum a little more organised.

We currently have a players lounge section of the forum that pretty much never gets used. How about moving all the player specific threads over to the Players Lounge section?

It woul leave the General Discussion section cleaner. Currently on busy days, where so many heads are active, the General Discussion section is too busy.

Any objections?

Ya I agree.  It seems like that's what the players lounge would be used for anyway.

I don't agree.

It's one of those peculiar newkit conventions that current LFC players are hardly ever discussed in here despite being the designated thread, and I don't see much reason to change it now. If anything, because this forum has more often been the place for discussing former players, I'd suggest changing the title to reflect that rather than shifting every current player thread over here. It's also easier if you have current LFC team/player talk in the one place for those of us who dislike having to shift from one forum to the next to read about some aspect of the club. On other forums I know they separate the two, but there's often a need for it there as those forums are much busier than newkit. Let it be I say.

i dont know if everyone already knows how to embed youtube clips but as i`m proud of myself because i`ve worked it out (and i`m usually cr@p with computers) i`ll try to explain how to do it for anyone interested.

when you post a reply, across the top of your reply message box there`s a line of functions, press the youtube function on the top right hand side.
then 2 tags appear something like these 2 - [ youtube ][ /youtube ]
between the tags you have to write the ID string or the code of the youtube clip you wish to show but you dont write the whole thing out. for example here`s a youtube clip ID string in it`s entireity -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbrjRKB586s

you dont need to include the `http;//www.youtube.com/watch?v=` bit of the ID string, infact it wont work if you do include it, the bit you need is the remaining part of the ID string, in other words just type out `WbrjRKB586s`  between the 2 tags.
some clips have `&feature=related` at the end of the ID string, just erase that part of the IDstring.

hope this helps, sorry for not making it a bit more clearer.

Thanks for that, I was wondering how to embed them buggers.

I did figure out a while ago how to pop sound onto threads, but then asked Supersub to delete the threads I put up with sound on as, once everyone figures it out, it could become really annoying !
