The only problem I have with the snow is that it shows up over the videos that people upload. Is there a way of making the video player work in front of the snow? I had noticed that as well if you view in full screen though it goes.

Good points both jlc & fez. However, there is no setting in the plug in that allows either an option for individual members to turn it off, or indeed to have embedded movie clips remain prominent when not in full screen mode. Unfortunately, I don't have enough access to the forum source code to even attempt to try to tinker with it, jlc. So unless the point fez made regarding full screen mode will do you, the only other thing I can do is either switch it off or put it in the home page only.
I'm quite happy to do either as long as everyone else is ok with that?
Sorry I couldn't be more help with this, mate,, but the options on the plugin are what they are, and its purpose is to fall in front of everything.
Let me know what the majority would like me to do and I'll happily oblige.
Cheers.

Doesn't bother me particularly gazza as I can just view any vids in full screen but I concede that may not be convenient for others.

Cheers, Fez, duly noted. As I said, this site belongs to all of us, and if something ain't right, we'll do our best to fix it. There are minimal options on the plugin unfortunately, but jlc has highlighted the need for an 'on/off' switch for each individual user. If it was just a standard website and I had full access, maybe there would be a way to do it, but because the issue involves videos embedded by everyone on random pages of the site, the only way I think it would be possible to even attempt to rectify it would be to have full access to the forum code, and a degree in webdesign to write the CSS/JavaScript to make it possible. I have a very basic understanding of CSS, Adobe Flash & HTML, but that was from around ten years ago when I made a few sites of my own, it's all passed me by now. I can get by with adding the odd line of HTML & CSS etc, & could probably pick up Flash and make some fancy animated buttons and banners with it again, but that's it really. Besides which, I really don't want to get into making websites again, it takes up far too much time and brain power for a doddering old b*gger like me! Now then, that's a little bit about me, tell me about yourself!

Right that's it, I'm not coming on here no more. I've just started downloading Adobe Flash. It's all your fault!

OK, thanks Gazza. I will just watch in full screen, or enjoy watching Big Kev bang goals in in the snow.

I like the snow, and it's a good indicator of the better flexibility and space for creativity we have on this forum compared to Yuku and the one before.

Couldn't agree more, mate.

Site seems to be working good for me on chrome, chrome for android too. One comment is that the proboard mobile app isn't free. The yuku board had a free app. Does anyone know of a free reader for android? At least the site saves username and password using a browser though so this isn't a showstopper if there isn't a mobile app.
Good job admins!
Blue army!

When I the site on Chrome on my Android phone, I get a choice to switch between Mobile and Desktop view. This is the option I get at the foot of the Desktop view:
Here is the screen in Mobile view:Is this how you see it, mate? If not, then you need to scroll right to the foot of the page in Desktop view and look for the link as per the first image. This is how the site header looks in Mobile view:

I paid the £1.99 or whatever it was and it's well worth the money for as much as I use it, very similar to the yuku app except it doesn't mess up as much!

I've added a 'Welcome' message at the top of the home page to welcome new members. Apologies for not adding it sooner, I didn't know I could do it until this afternoon.

Nice work, gazza.
Good, too, to see that a few more old faces - including bradders, bristol and jarkko - have migrated to join us in the last few days!

had my first proboards error page earlier. hope i don't see it very often but at least it's prettier than the yuku one. if i wasn't hallucinating, part of it featured a frustrated bear trying to break into a vending machine!!
