Ah it was an FM19 specific bug I was testing with FM23.

That's fixed as well 🙂

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with the search box on top of every FM database page. Instead of the usual box where typing should prompt the best search results, there's just a blank zone. I tried with different browsers and devices and in private navigation mode, so it doesn't seem to be an issue on my end due to some extension.

Thanks.

This is fixed now.

Thank you! 

I just realised there was an issue with 15,000 images that are broken around the site. This is because imgur announced they were going to delete images after certain number of days so I set up a system for copying them, but we exceeded imgur limits and got blocked and I didn't realise, so they were saved as 0 bytes. This is in the process of being fixed and will take about 10 hours to fix them all.

And 19,000 broken links to images attached as comments before 2021 also fixed.

If anyone else knows of any other mass broken links to old images, it's may be fixable and should be reported 😬

Please state clearly now because these are just basic privacy issues:

• When will you add the site policy to the registration process? Right now it’s hidden between an overload of clickable buttons and text, so if you say most people know how to read it beforehand then please show how many times that page is visited in relation to the amount of registered accounts. Actively informing people of your policy and letting them agree with it before registering is one of the most basic aspects of creating a user-friendly website, so if you didn’t think of this yourself in 20 years’ time that would be pretty concerning.

• Has the anonymisation of email addresses has been fixed now and did this also affect normal users? How long has this not been working for?

• Is there any reason not to make the email field invisible for all staff members immediately? Right now you give people you've only ever shared one or two messages with access to over 2 million email addresses, when this can only turn out in a bad way.

• Will all the hotlinks I showed be removed or not? If not, what’s the point of removing a username from a comment if in a quote comment directly below it’s still visible? The same goes for the graphic pages where if someone has commented you can still easily click through to their profile and comment history.

Again if you see yourself as being reasonable then why would you need to dramatize things? The only thing I wanted to do was remove my posts and comments without bothering anyone. Yes I could have notified you of this beforehand, but I didn't think of it as being any problem as it contained nothing of value and I never agreed upon the rule that someone shouldn't be allowed to delete their own content.

After only deleting a few hundred comments you already called me out publicly before even getting an answer. I never said that I didn't need to justify myself, I asked why I would need to do so as the fact that I provided you thousands of hours of free work should be more than enough to not make any problem out of it. Even after I explained that I didn't want to bother anyone and would keep all the relevant data update stuff up, you still completely removed the option to delete anything and then dumped something like 6 paragraphs onto me. I couldn't read that as anything other than you wanting to keep everything online against my will, which objectively is a nasty thing to do. After that I deleted the data update stuff as well, because if you're acting like that then you can calmly analyse it wouldn't be fair for you to personally keep benefiting from those either.

The files contained like 3 or 4 requests in total, so it would literally have taken you less than 5 minutes to recreate them and then you could have just left it at that. Anything else in the files was researched by myself and wouldn't even been on here if it wasn't for me creating them. So pretending that I've ‘rendered a collaborative project temporarily unusable' and ‘made everyone else's contributions temporarily worthless' is bullshit and you know that perfectly well. Even if those files were so absolutely crucial to the functioning of the update, then anyone who downloaded a single version from before the end of June (which was 99,9% of people) would already have them on their PC and everything would work fine.

The same goes for the comments where you act like I've forced you to spend hours checking logs, when you knew at any time that there was nothing of value I could possibly have deleted (value meaning a direct need for a group of people, not the weakest ever possibility of someone scrolling through threads to actively look for comments that are more than 6 months or even years old). It's much more likely you just took off your own frustration about not having control over your own website, losing one of your most valuable members, losing potential revenue and then dedicated yourself to spending hours on checking and restoring every possible thing I've ever posted on here (which in itself you can calmly analyse as being creepy behavior), while at the same time deleting comments of people saying my wishes should be respected.

If you just focused on stuff you could argue to be crucial then that would have looked better, but instead you're actively going miles to put posts back online that had already been deleted for like 6 months without anyone caring. These serve literally no other purpose than to add traffic, and if that's worth more to you than someone else's discomfort then that should tell everyone enough.

All up to you how you want to run a website, but then from now on stop being confused about the fact you find it so hard to get people to help you out with things. If have no problems with financially benefiting from thousands of hours of free work from others and then flip out like this when they cause you the slightest inconvenience, then the problem might be on your side, and that won't be fixed by throwing fake appreciation onto people. 

@Footygamer When hovering over the Careers/Data Update/FMTV/etc dropdown at the top, the current forum thread page is being shown on top of it.

Also there's the locked scrollbar being shown on the dropdown which I think shouldn't be there.

@weeniehutjr that's been there for a while and i've tried to fix it before but failed, I think i've actually done it this time after a fresh look.

The scrollbars are an annoying windows thing I struggle to test because i'm not on windows.

The first issue is fixed for me 👍

As for scrollbars, I can hide them by adding “overflow:hidden” (and putting “!important!” at the end just to be sure, but not necessary) on this string. Not sure if that works as a solution?

But then it won't scroll when it does need to. It needs to use media queries for viewport height but then that's also affected by people using zoom.

To be honest I was thinking to get rid of them all together 🙂

Not sure if its an issue with the site in general but I've been a premium member for a few years now and never had an issue with download speed, pay for premium and i received super fast downloads 🙂   but today every file i try to download is downloading at 200's kb's per sec ! literally saying it will take 18 Hr's to download a logo pack this surely can't be right ?    

please get to me before i use my laptop as a frisbee.

While hoping the laptop frisbee idea hasn't materialised yet, what's it like now? Seems fine at my end.

@jason fry if it happens again can you copy and paste the link the download is coming from (or screenshot if that's not possible) it should say one of “fileserverXXX”, “cloudflarestorage”, “digitalocean” or “cloudfront”.

Hi ,

I have been updating my records in all the categories from my 38 seasons so far.

There are a few records which appear in 2 different formats :

Youngest Player … Some show as 14 yrs x days ..my 14 year old is showing as 5330.( Shown in Total days ).

Oldest  goal scorer .. mine is total of days 14508 … others as 39 years.

Oldest  player… same mix.

Is it possible to have them all in the same format.

Fastest goal or fastest red cards etc are 0 …. Is it possible to have them in seconds.

Thanks in advance and for all your hard work with the site.

Regards

i have buy premium membership for fast downloads, but the downloads are very slow (200-300 kb) -.- what can i do ?

@SGDynamite can you screenshot the download with its speed as well as a speed test result (just google “speed test” to get one to pop up)

Its not my Inet Connection.

Thanks for that. I'm not too familiar with Firefox and Windows is there a way to see the URL the file is coming from? We use multiple servers and hosts and it may just be an issue with one specific one.

You're absolutely right to report this it should definitely be downloading alot faster than this.

For comparison here's my download showing 5 minutes to complete and the URL.

okay it works now good

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this (I can happily repost it in the correct one if directed), but I just wanted to know if there's a problem with just me regarding the free download links for both the Complete Megapack and Changes Version 24.01.

Even though I'm logged into my account, the links don't appear and I've been trying for a few days.

In any case, I am very grateful for the work done by everyone here!

I'm having the same problem! 

Sorry that link shouldn't be appearing the megapacks aren't ready yet.

The old pack links are back now

Understood, thanks for clarifying it!

Per message 3/9/23 .

Can the Records be set in the same format for all submissions.

E.g. Youngest Player for some shows 14 ( as in years) .. others as 5330 ( days).

i have attached some examples

Thanks

Most assists record ( should be individual match)  contains records that are for a whole season

e.g  The best score should be 8 … but their are records of 13-56 accepted.

Goal keeping records now in days …. But top scores in minutes which makes them much higher,

Oldest goal scorer is 2021 years old (737666 days) .. details say he is 40yrs old.
