keep upto date......

[Jeff]

It's possible that other people do as I do and use the 'New Posts' page as an index to find reference to posts that they might like to read.

Hardly anyone uses that, as they don't notice the link to it at the top of the page.


Another site people could use is this one: http://www.lcfc.org/

It's possible that other people do as I do and use the 'New Posts' page as an index to find reference to posts that they might like to read. I rarely go to the Leicester City index page where these headlines are displayed.

Would it be possible for the headlines to be moved (or placed additionally) on the 'New Posts' page. I would certainly welcome it being there. It would also save me from having to read through the superfluous crap on NewsNow.

id never been there before today. is newsnow that crap or am i missing something.ive found quite a bit of info on other sports going on around the world ie baseball, american football etc,never found it superfluos crap up to now :icon_cool

 

[Jeff]

where is the link to the webpage ive posted

No one has said there's a link to the webpage you posted. :icon_roll

No one is saying newsnow is crap.

When you posted the thread you said it would help people keep up to date with the Leicester news, but it was pointed out that there was no need to go there when the headlines are already displayed here.

The rest of the thread has come about because of you either misunderstanding people, or deliberately trying to provoke an argument.

 

[bocadillo]

where is the link to the webpage ive posted

There isn't such a link and nobody said that there was.

What there is links to NewsNow's six latest stories on their Leicester City page - but with the added advantage that the useless links which inflict NewsNow from time to tiem already filtered out.

If you regularly visit this site's Leicester City Forum index page and only want the up-to-date City news, you don't need NewsNow. NewsNow has the advantage though that you can easily alter the scope of your search. For that reason, NewsNow has a valuable place in my Favorites - but not as high as TB.

 

[Biff]

You don't have to read everything on here to notice something that appears on the main LCFC forum page, you must have seen that page hundreds of times without noticing it.
It's not just the news links that people don't notice, it's the links across the top too, people frequently ask how to get into the user control panel, or how to do a search for example, because they haven't seen the links at the top.

ive never seen that page before today. when i click onto talkingballs my page opens up on a different page, not the main lcfc forum page,hence when i found newsnow i thought i would share it,sorry if ive put some noses out of joint:icon_conf

 

[SJN-Fox]

What did I say? Jeese, you try to give someone a pat on the back and get that for your troubles, well thanks a lot Jeff.

Ooops, sorry, just realised it was Biff that posted that not Jeff ... apologies

 

[Jeff]

I (which for some reason, he didn't appreciate me saying)

I didn't make any comment about that, I think you read something biff wrote and thought it was me

 

[Jeff]

ive never seen that page before today.

How do you start a new thread in the LCFC forum then?

 

[bocadillo]

Hardly anyone uses that, as they don't notice the link to it at the top of the page.

If that is true, people don't know what they are missing. It is one of my IE homepages and I access it more than several times every day. Melton obviously uses it as well.

Another site people could use is this one: http://www.lcfc.org/

I know that is one of your sites, Jeff. But people don't need to move from TB for references to City News if they use it properly. I am being serious when I suggest that the 'headlines' could be usefully placed on the 'New Posts' page.

 

[Biff]

I didn't make any comment about that, I think you read something biff wrote and thought it was me

getting very confusing aint it.no im not looking to provoke an argument,im just passing on a web link that i thought somebody would find interesting.

That will teach you to try and be helpfull :icon_lol:

 

[Biff]

How do you start a new thread in the LCFC forum then?

let me say ive not noticed it before, i just click on the new thread and move on.

i have taken a leaf out of bocs book and made it my homepage.:icon_cool

No. NewsNow is not crap. Has anybody said it is? I have tried to make it clear that it is a useful resource.

It is nevertheless true that it does sometimes carry what I would call superfluous crap on its Leicester City page. Look at this group of entries from a few days ago on 4th September. I defy anybody to tell me that these items are not superfluous:

ffs anybody would have thought id tied your hands behind your back and forced you to watch it.thanks for your input sjn, not!

the link i have put on here is totally different to just getting the headlines/main points.so you dont like the link ok but why knock it when im just offering some info to the forum.theres actually a lot of info from other sports and countries, not just lcfc.if that dont appeal to you dont use it

I'm not knocking it, I have been using Newsnow for many years, all I am saying is that it can (and does) contain an awful lot of crap.... below are just a few from 4 sep, the LCFC world stuff has nothing whatsoever to do with City.

Looks like you just beat me to it Boc

Thanks for that Boc, I've been looking for a gift basket.

I am being serious when I suggest that the 'headlines' could be usefully placed on the 'New Posts' page.

I'll look into it but I suspect it could be tricky. The new posts pag is really just a version of the search page, so the only way to do it may be to put it on results page for all searches.


A problem with the new posts page is that it shows you new posts from all parts of the site you have access to, so someone just interested in the LCFC part of the site will find it easier to go there rather than see new posts from General Chat, Music etc.

boc i just found the website yesterday and thought i would share it with the forum.i didnt realise that it reports everything, including nonsense items.
what has pissed me off was the way some on here jumped down my throat, instead of explaining the same way you have

if it satisfies jeff delete this thread.
