Forum Updates

Hi all,


You may have noticed there have been a few visual changes to the forum recently. I will summarise these here:


New website header

The most noticeable change is that we now have a more visually appealing website header, including a photo of the top of Lordship Lane. Hopefully make the forum look a bit less plain and 'corporate'. The image should display nicely on both mobile and desktops (let me know if not!).


Font change

A minor change, but the website font has changed to 'Rubik'. I chose this one because its easy to read - slightly softer than the one used before.


Social Media

There is now an official EDF Twitter account:


If you use Twitter, feel free to follow!


Mobile site improvements

I've been trying to make the mobile version of the site more useable and useful. One of the pieces of feedback I've seen elsewhere was that it was not possible to see when someone has replied. This has now been added. There is also a more obvious 'Last Post' button which will take you directly to the last post in the thread (you can also click the green round icon on the left)

Forum Attachments

The attachment size has been increased to 8 megabytes. This will hopefully allow you to directly upload images from your camera if you're using a mobile. No more having to compress/resize your image first like on the old website!


As always, feedback welcome - positive or negative.

Great stuff, Joe. Two things:


1. On my ipad unable to see the last post message


2. Unable to connect with the Twitter account, I get the message “something went wrong.” Also wondering why it’s @TheDulwich and not @TheEastDulwich or is this the first step in formally integrating the different parts of Dulwich? Would prefer that East Dulwich Forum maintains a separate identity

Oops - I changed the username of the Twitter account and didn't update my post! The username is now https://twitter.com/dulwich_forum. I've corrected my original post.

The reason I didn't go for something like EastDulwichForum is because it exceeds the maximum twitter username length. There were a few other viable usernames (e.g. EDForum) which were taken. No plans to rebrand from East Dulwich Forum!

 

1. On my ipad unable to see the last post message

 

The forum design is what's known as a 'responsive' layout, which means the layout adapts to how large your screen size is.

If you are viewing on a small device like a iPhone, the layout will look like the one I added in the screenshot in my first post. This is the layout I've recently been making changes to.

On a larger screen device like an iPad or laptop, the layout is different. It is a bit more spread out. The 'Last Post' time is in a different place - the screenshot below shows where you'd hopefully see it on iPad (let me know if you don't see it though!)

Thanks Joe. Now able to access the Twitter account and glad to learn there won’t be a rebranding. Regarding the last post issue, have discovered I can see it if I orientate ipad to portrait but not if I use it landscape. With the latter I get the ad column to the right which I don’t with portrait.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
