Fair enough

@Footygamer The images for the kits in the newsletter are wrong.

It's the crawlable links, as well as not having alt on some images on the page. The missing alt is also an issue for accessibility

Just curious, why do you use png for all images on the page? Why not use webp or jpg? From what I could gather, those are much better to use on the web (source).

Edit: Nevermind, I see now that after you have integrated bunny, most images has been converted to webp. 

Those 10 kb saved obviously wouldn't have any significant impact for individual users, but those are likely downloaded millions of times a month, which does turn into a couple of gigabytes combined.

That said, I still think you should look into the accessibility and SEO issues mentioned in the lighthouse report. 

My bad, I thought that the icon was 1x1 like the larger cutouts/logos. 

On the front page, as well as the downloads menu, I see that you used 180x180 images and resized them to 50x50, so those could be downsized serverside and save some bandwidth, right?

I'm only saying this in case you didn't know and wanted to save some bandwidth and in turn, save some money. If you don't think it's something worth prioritizing, that's your call 👍

@Footygamer I might be nitpicking here, but some PNGs on the site can be optimized. 

• Player faces and logos can be trimmed down from 25x18 to 18x18.

• On the front page, the graphics png can be trimmed down as well, possibly also resized.

Also, using the lighthouse extension I get some accessibility and SEO issues as well. I don't know how difficult to resolve them, so it's up to you whether they're worth the hassle. 

I don't have much experience with skin-making, so I don't think I'm the right person to ask. I know that you previously could take a panel from one skin and copy/paste it to another, although, I don't know if that works between different versions. 

Besides, as @Footygamer said, I don't know how difficult this would be, so by the time I finish this, we could already be closing in on FM23. 

@mons Add to MP 

I know that some teams/leagues/nations use standardized website layouts (like here: Rosenborg, Lillestrøm, Stabæk). It's possible to see whenever a site like this is updated with new images and give a notification whenever new photos are uploaded.

I see that this is already possible with paid service

@Rob2312 It's usually best to transfer to the first team when the second team doesn't have players. 

I don't know if transferring to second teams messes stuff up in-game, but at least it's listed better on the site.

@Footygamer Try now

@Footygamer @wfm18 I started making a prototype for mobile format here. Let me know what you think. 

@Footygamer Could you make a changelog for the pages that have been updated (or created) from now on? It would help a lot with keeping the design up to date with the website. You don't need to say exactly what has changed, but just to let us know that a site has changed. 

Anyone  who wants to help design the Sortitoutsi with design suggestions can make an account at Figma.com and either make a post here or send me a message about being part of the Sortitoutsi Figma team. 

@Footygamer @wfm18 I need you guys' email to make you admins at Figma, so please message me that and I'll add you 👍

This is a thread for discussing design propositions for the page. Any non-design-related issues can be posted here.

@Footygamer An issue with the ids here

I didn't get around to doing it before I went on vacation. I'll do them when I get back home 👍

I don't know how it works for kits, but for the cutouts, we get a huge amount of requests when a new game is released and wrong/bad requests have never been a big issue. If it turns out to be an issue, a system that locks teams that already has a valid request or a simple upvote/downvote could solve, or at least mitigate, the issue. Just my two cents 🙂

Tagging @Footygamer for visibility.  

Edit: As footygamer describes in the first post, we should be able to set up a scraper that gets kits from external sites (e.g this), and teams would get their source images from there. So someone has already done the moderation for us

Very nice @Footygamer! Is there a way for mods to moderate the kits? I found some listed under the wrong team (2013 & 2014 here)

And what websites do you have in mind? I could make something this week if it's not too difficult

Yes, that's right. Should be corrected now👍

I've given myself a hell of a job 😅 

I did some cuts yesterday and I intend on doing even more in the next couple days/weeks 👍

Aren't these pages based on the FM 22 DB? Shouldn't all players that aren't on the team in FM22 be removed? I just thought it was a bug with how the team cutout pages are displayed. 

Same here with Kasper Junker

@Footygamer For some reason this guy shows up on the cutout team page, even though the player was replaced from FM20 to FM21 with this guy

Edit: Is there any reason to add a cut to this player when he's not in the last two games? Maybe @mons can answer

@mons Add the latest cut to the MP👍

I'm sure it doesn't affect people who download the update packs, as it would overwrite the original file. I'm not so sure when the complete pack is downloaded😕 I can test and see which one is in there later today. 

This is at least a problem when trying to compare new requests against the current cut because the team cutout page displayed the oldest one. 

@mons @Footygamer What happened here? Two cuts are listed as “in megapack" 😕
