I've worked on the webpages to try to make the pages load faster. In particular a few less elements are loaded each page.

Signup panel has been made simpler to encourage more guests to convert.

Emails templates have been adjusted.

Many minor fixes.

Underneath there are fairly significant changes involving logging in and ability to take part in tournaments / games etc. There should be no apparent changes but any problems please let me know.

It seems everyone is having trouble entering tournaments...

Edit :

I will rephrase that to quite a few are having trouble entering tournaments.

Don't join other games! It still enters you into the tourney despite that message!

I didn't join another game, was sat in chat room clicked to join tournament and it gave me the same message you got, so I tried again and again.

Still in chat room and have not moved nor been entered into the tournament.

I'm looking into this; please join from the tournament web page for now.

EDIT: Tournament problems should be resolved now.

There is no tournament at 13:30?

Or 13:45 or 13:50.

I am guessing nick may be doing a server restart to fix the tournament entry problem?

Could be wrong.

Yes, restarting soon.

I think the tournament part on help thread needs changing nick, it says you have 3 minutes to accept an invite where some (9 arc micro I think) you get less than that.

Also about the time it takes to reply to a "contact us" message I think you should put the time up from aim to reply in 3 days to 5/7 as recently there isn't much admin activity and I know a few who have waited a lot longer than 3 days for a reply.

Hopefully it will be all fixed soon

also i know its minor but sometimes when i pm someone their pic doesn't show (sometimes vice versa too) so the pic only shows one way, is it possible to fix?

Can't check forums without signing in. Is this by design?

i have remember ID ticked so will sign off for a moment to see

Same for me m8!!

The pages do seem to be loading very fast tho!

Yeah, same problem, will fix.

Hmm so i wonder if these problems get fixed, will the homepage load that fast.

I tried to log in and read the forum at about 2pm and it appeared to be empty... it works now..

When I tried Tesco's free wireless funkypool comes up as a restricted site and was blocked, strange .....

Forum is working fine now (actually was working fine a few minutes after my last post but I didn't get round to writing a note).



The home page should load faster than yesterday irrelevant of what is in the forum (some things are no longer loaded unless required, eg the facebook "like" and the google "plus one").
