Have you done something to the appearance of quotes, or am I going madder than Little A with syphillis?

Indeed.

Some other tweaks to report:

- When you post a reply, edit a post or add a thread, the cursor will automatically appear in the correct box (usually the message one) - so you can start typing immediately; no need to click on the field first.

- When you quote a post the cursor will go down a few lines below the quoted text in your message so you can type your reply clearly.

- The forms are now set up to be tabbed across, this speeds up using them - e.g. finish writing your message then press tab and you'll notice 'add reply' is highlighted (so you can press enter and submit), if you press tab again then you'll 'Preview Reply' will be selected... and so on.

- The quotes have been changed around a bit to stop the whole page breaking when people get the tags wrong.

- The height of the message text boxes has been increased.

- Article URLs edited for search engine optimization, forum will be following suit soon!!

Quite a few bits recently

- Bit more optimization work on forum posts
- Changed forum pages links to change colour on hover and keep a bit more uniform
- Added a link to competition entry at top of thread for any relevant threads in competition forum
- Finally fixed the infamous WW Youtube bug!!! Only took me a year to get round to it!
- Changed a few fonts slightly, such as 'Post Edited' time
- Added in a few meta tags for all threads
- Forum section names now appear in title (also did this for articles, league, videos and various other site sections - previously we were only doing this with forum threads)
- Created an auto converter script to Embed YouTube links automatically, will make this available to members once we've tested it a bit more, currently only admins can use it.
- Got rid of the 'post whores' box on the forum homepage, intention is to put a small calendar there when I get round to it
- Added the 'Sort By Journal Type' feature in the Training Journals section to choose between various categories
- Added equipped / unequipped box to user profile so members can change this setting for their totals themselves

Huh Confused

Could add that in as a profile field but it's better just applying youtube filter to the journal then clicking through the videos..

Just double click on the embedded youtube video (not on the play button) and it takes you to their you tube vid page, then just click their username?

oh, i did ....

it would just be nice to have a little button at the bottom of the post for people who have youtube pages, regardless of wether there is actually a vid in the post , like the 'log' one.

I thought something must not have been right - me telling you computer thingys, and so I was right. I agree it would be good to have a youtube linkage, come on Bob - sort it out!

Taking pills has never been a problem for me Jon, but only eating 2 choccie bars (Double Decker and Boost for anyone who's interested) all day yesterday and feeling half dead doesn't bode well for big PB-age. I'll be there though to watch all the sweaty men grunt and groan, no wonder my missus thinks I'm crazy.

maybe the videos page could be improved in some way?

youtube doesnt have any RSS based feeds or anything? I was thinking we could build an automatic list from peoples profiles of youtube pages as just normal link list. But we could also have some thumbnails or something as well.

The current format is not working because the videos are added with such speed these days, its impossible to keep up manually!

First off a fantastic site.

Who does the wilks formula work?

i.e. surely if a guy lifts say 700 total raw and another lifts 700 total euipped and both are at same weight, then surely the raw guy is going to be miles ahaed of the equiped guy in wilks formula, but I have noticed that they would be on the same wilks based of the leauge on the site!

Maybe you would be better running a raw leauge and an euqipped league?

Would make it a lot better in my view, and is there another forula out there that would suit raw lifters than euiped, it is just so confusing, but I hope you get what I mean, hopefullyHappy .
