Do the new forums not have a report function for spam/NFT shite?

I feel old as shit reading through all that. Doesn't feel half as long ago as it was. Still remember the Portal being good enough and popular enough that it kept my blog in traffic for a while which was no mean feat.

 

Top work as ever @Footygamer.

 

Love the confetti effect too.

Wondering if someone would be able to help me with installation? So I've downloaded the file, gone to install it, but when I follow these steps - Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2022\data\database\db\2200. 

 

I don't have a “common” folder in my SteamApps folder. I've also looked in Program Files rather than Program Files (x86) and that still appears to be the same.

 

Just to add, I didn't purchase the game through Gamepass. I brought it from Steam.

 

Make it easier for yourself, rather than manually looking for the path, find the game in your Steam library, right-click on it, select Properties > Local Files > Browse, that should open the installation folder.

 

Like below (ignore the fact it says FM 2019, it works the same)

You're confusing me now, mate. What is the issue then?

 

 

 

This seems like an extremely complex way of doing what is really a simple task, but if it makes you happy and sorts you out, who am I to argue? 😀

 

Yeah it probably is, but I've had years of getting annoyed when checking I've got the paths right etc doing it manually, so I wrote that. It seems rude not to share (even just for a small audience) y'know? After all a small audience is not the same as no audience

For anyone else lazy/interested, I wrote a Powershell script to install the files because I can never be arsed doing it manually.

 

Save the file to a .ps1 file (i.e. Install-NameFix.ps1) in the same directory as the extracted lnc, edt, dbc folders and you can run the script from Powershell with admin. Shouldn't break anything but run at your own risk etc.

Bluemoon
Slashman X
Oba
Platypus
Tarrantino

There are many many more though.

I did have a link for a forum made up for a short period when the site closed so will have a look when i get home later.

Sighted.

I can't believe you didn't know 😀

I've been here from seemingly the dawn of time. Was at Throw-In before here, I'm still around most days though - lurking.

TI massive. Still makes me sad how that place died. Fucking aging me just thinking about how long ago it was though.

Coming here and seeing Deano calling someone a c*nt is the least noteworthy thing I could imagine.

This.

That shouldn't be happening.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to replicate your experience yet in order to figure out how to fix it.

Could you possibly experiment with dragging the edges of the browser window to resize it and see what effect it has. As it gets narrower it should automatically resize all the way to mobile sizes.

I'm not saying that's a "fix" it just might provide an indication as to why it's happening.

If you find an exact size the problem occurs could you visit this webpage and tell me the exact dimensions of your browser window at the time: http://howbigismybrowser.com/

I've been getting the same thing and was able to remove the blank space by disabling the max-width property #user-sidebar .col element in the dev console. If you look at the element for #user-sidebar, it also has different width properties, including a change to 395px at 1595px+ from 200px at 1400px.

The first issue has been resolved, but could you give more details on the second one? Are you inputting a name in the to field? If you click the send PM button, the user is not automatically assigned yet as it was in the old forum.

PM's are working fine at my end, try sending me a PM to test 🙂

I clicked the 'Send PM' button under footygamer's name, the username wasn't populated when the page loaded so I entered it manually, then got the 500. Sent you a test message and I didn't get a 500 this time.

I can't reproduce this unfortunately. Is it still happening?

Just tried again. The last complete file download stays the same (and looks accurate) but when I refresh the page, the time/date for each change file updates to the current time.

Cor, this looks really good, props

Any way to access the old old site archive though? I know it was already broken the 1st time the layout changed so I'm guessing it'll be even more broken by now


Seconded. There's at least one story on the old archives that I'd love to read again and/or salvage for elsewhere.

You can also see excerpts/summaries of posts in private areas too. But I can't send a PM with details because I get a 500 error.

I just went to download latest changes to the facepack and it's doing weird things to my download history.

I didn't download any of those files today, but I did log-in at that time today.

The current image is incorrect, it's actually a guy called Alejandro Marón. I figure that counts as 'missing'.

And yet I wouldn't be surprised if you still went through.

I wouldn't be absolutely shocked, but as much as I can see us scoring a few against them I can't see us not conceding.

Things are going pretty well at the moment. I'm starting to seriously think we might win something this season.

Can't help but think it'll be a while yet, but when it does, it'll probably happen to someone unexpected rather than a top side. Either that or Champions League becomes priority in the second half of the season and focus wanders a little bit on league games.

Its even more strange that none of these seem to have really put Fabian Delph under a great deal of pressure in his makeshift left-back role, but given the riches going forward, maybe they've just gone for the "attack is best form of defence" routine.

Honestly, he's been targeted specifically by most teams we've played - at least, those who've felt able to attack us - it's just incredible that he's so rarely looked out of place. He's had a few weaker performances recently, but overall he's been really fucking good. It's not just that we're shielding him.

I second your opinion about our inevitable 1-0 loss at Goodison and/or Turf Moor.

6/10 performance by our recent standards. I'll take it, though.

Because they are idiots. They still believe that Thatcher screwed them despite the truth being easily available.

They will instead vote for Labour whose leader has friends bombed the country and their neighbours and next day he kept inviting them to drinks at the House of Commons.

Mmm, this is the good shit.

Been away for a while, good to know somethings haven't changed.

So, Pulis or Pardew? What do you think?

Either way, this is an area where English law is awful. Hope the Telegraph hand the story over to a Scottish paper or some other news media not bound by English law.

Pulis for sure. Wasn't there some talk of him freezing out Berahino in part because he wanted him to change agents (like with Allardyce and Ravel Morrison)?

Bravo might secretly be a Utd fan. Keeps trying to let us score and wants Rooney off the pitch.
