I amazed that noone has posted anything about it yet.

First draft of new website is now live.

Other functions and information will be added over the coming months.

Post your thoughts here!

Completely new look and feel. I like it!

Navigating through now, so haven't checked out all the workings yet.

edit: A link to the NPL forums would be good ... ;)

The news section is vastly improved, nice and simple.

leaderboards seem to be sorted by TOTAL points now, no averages come into it

should this be the case?

other than that, i like it, looks much better


i like that it highlights your friends in the results/leaderboards. would it be possible to add an "add as friend" button to the player summaries instead of manually having to do it?

i like the graphs of the player stats also, but i dont see the point of having 5 different ways of displaying it - but meh, that doesn't matter

I haven't gotten that far yet.

I will get there. But it might be next week.

Does the gallery not work yet? I'm getting a dotnet error at the moment.


I notice there's no forum link... ;)



Design wise, apart from it looking very DotNetNuke-ish, it's a great improvement on the older one, even though the older one was nice in it's own way.

Ahh I just refreshed, galleries are working.



One thing I'd like to suggest, is VENUE NUMBERS.
When you list a venue, and it shows you the dates and times, along with a results link if it's passed, it would be great to have a column with "runners".

I often look up a venue and am keen to see the runners they got, so this value on the page would be excellent (and no doubt simple to implement)

Graphs are great! Haven't looked in depth at them but a nice touch.

You can't put a player in the front page now, that was nice to be able to get their quickly - along with a link. Maybe that can be added?
