I am pretty sure it has something to do with the software change here. I access plenty of other sites from work so I don't think they would jsut pick on this one. The first time I tried to access the site I got a message that some software had to be loaded on our server to allow access. Now it just doesn't connect and I get no message.

The forum upgrade does not require any downloads to users pc's...

It may be worth trying basic things like cleaning cookies and history in the browser... worth a try...

I have an idea I will put the gto logo in the home directory for you... http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/logo_gto.gif This will not envoke the forum software in any way...

If you can't view it then we can assume that they have clocked up the hours spent on gto if you can then we can look into this further... if it means no gto I think there is a case for changing jobs

As for Journals - is there a way to simply make a 'Journals' Forum, and each member has a thread?

Ie in the Journals forum, the threads would be

Gandalf
LowPost42
Started2k3

etc?

I really like the journal for post round notes.

Good idea LowPost... either we do something like this with a forum or I was thinking of maybe creating a separate application that will record practice notes, round notes and even link to videos etc... nothing to complicated to begin with but something that can be built upon...

By developing this small app in house I can cutomize it for you guys more easily and with the knowledge that it wont be reliant on the forum software to run...

I really like this idea of being able to keep track of practice and round info and getting stats back... I know that there was a thread a while back around other third-party apps that do this... but perhaps I can look into creating something a little more specific for our members needs... just ideas...

I think I will create a seperate thread on this so you guys can put in your thoughts...

Re: Forum Software Upgrade

One other option/question, please.

On another site I visit, when looking at the latest posts, you can click the arrow by the last posters name, and the thread opens in a new window. If you click the thread title, the thread opens in the same window.

I find it makes it easier to read multiple threads (rather than right click and 'open in new window').
