Information about Careers

You may have noticed that the careers section is a little different to the rest of the site and a bit buggy. As I explained a few days ago before the full move over, the movement of the careers section is going to be a bit stressful for me and annoying for you, i'll try and explain what is happening and why as clearly as possible.

Basically, the rest of the old forum has been archived and we've started again. I wanted to do this before FM2013 is released, as doing it on the day is extremely stressful due to the amount of traffic hitting the site. However it would be pointless to force you all to start your FM12 careers again when most will only have a few weeks left to run. So we are left with the situation where your careers are the only part of the site still running on the old system, however because of the way the old system was setup, the integration is a bit buggy as you can probably tell by the way alot of the careers are displaying. I'm working hard to fix most of these bugs, but unfortunately it will continue to be buggy for a couple of weeks. You are also missing features such as the ability to quote one another.

However the good news is that i'm working on an all new careers section, which will be far more awesome than just the forum we had before. This will be ready for use when the FM13 demo is released, so you can all begin your FM2013 careers on the new system.

I'll reveal some features and screenshots of what the new careers section will be like soon, but for now you'll just have to trust me, accept my apologies for the current state of the careers forum and believe that I will definitely make this up to all of you. All of your careers are some of the best things about this site and i've not taken this decision lightly, it's 2-3 weeks of being slightly annoyed and frustrated and then an eternity of awesomeness, in which your careers will get all the love and attention they deserve. I promise.

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

be really good to see how it all comes together
although one early request - there are way too many threads pinned in the careers section!

It's the same amount of threads that were pinned in the old careers section.

Can't wait until the new careers section looks like.

Am I the only person that's seeing adverts in the first post of each thread, there's one about payback loan and one about remote controllers?

yeah. i just love it!

Yeah, the bots seem to have invaded that section.

I'm sure the bots will eventually disappear.

How do I resume an old career? Want to finish the pentagon challenge.

Just go into your thread and continue as you did before.

As simple as that ... unreal.

Will the careers be available for a long while? I'm not going to buy FM13 until I make a good attempt on my BSC and hopefully finish it, but that could be the new year before I finish it. So it would be a shame to have it hidden away on an unlooked forum.
