I am not saying the present Forum pages are no good, they are fine, however seeing how things are changing within the club, more professional videos, has the club shop been upgraded?  Anyway it's just a thought that maybe we could upgrade the Fishy Forum to go along with the new image of the club!   Just asking............

If it’s not broke don’t fix it.

The quality of the videos hasn’t changed it’s just got a nice shiny intro. ( I never said what the quality of the videos was before)

The only big change to improve the fishy would be to enable uploading pics etc onto a post a lot simpler.

I've had a bit of time on my hands for the last 12 months or so and  look at a lot of forums. The fishy is pretty good compared to many. Some of them are very difficult to navigate and follow threads

Totally agree that other club forums are often very difficult to navigate, some are near impossible - though I totally accept my inadequate technical ability.  

The Fishy will naturally get better if things continue as we all hope AND results on the pitch improve likewise.  
I personally find that Ignoring some of the ‘trolls’ is a help - though it is not always easy.

Don’t fix what isn’t broken

I'll have a look at improving that. I normally change one or two things a year, that'll probably be next.

Another thing potentially is registration, at the moment you have to have a Google account to register but you still need a username/password. I have been looking into a single sign-on plugin that would enable you to log in with social media accounts like Facebook/Twitter or to still have your own username/password if you really want. I don't want to change anything for any existing users so whatever I come up with won't entail having to have new logins or passwords!

Flashier forums don’t win you three points on a Saturday.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I've only been here since Christmas and is the only social media I use, not interested in Facebook, Twitter, etc. I think Rob does an excellent job, makes it easy to use, log on and go between threads.

As others have said if it's not broke, well used then why try to fix something that is more or less perfect.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Neither do professionally presented videos, or a new football strip, or fish and chips on home matchdays.  I wasn't even thinking about it being 'flashy', just maybe a touch of paint, such as black, white and red.
