Been cruising the Victory boards? One of the guys on there has the same one. It might be a bit big tbh.

Victory forums haven't been quite as fun to cruise recently. Some of the meltdowns they had last season made for hilarious reading.
I wonder if other club's supporters are looking at our forums and finding them just as funny.

Quite possibly, but Victory fans meltdowns are something special.

Agreed.  Meltdowns there are a huge giggle. 

SFCU is quite tightly run so doesn't really meltdown, WSW is all about how they're the besterest football club ever and a 'real' football club unlike that manufactured SFC side... (rolls eyes).

Don't know what Adelaide have these days.  The old Gateau one was good, the red army one an absolute train wreck.

I remember when the Victory site crashed when they conceded that late, late goal in Tasmania against GCU (the Disgusted game). A combination of Tards wanting to vent their frustration and the rest of the league wanting to laugh at the frustration put it over the edge. Good times.

That is one thing that didn't make the transfer over. Links to other clubs forums & friends of the Fever.

 Glory boys.... you need to be careful you get the right one as there is a gay porn site with a very similar name.

That is the one and only time I ever visited the Victory forums. Was such a classic meltdown that I want it preserved forever. Glorious. Disgusted.

Some of the best comments:
"I'm going to throw myself in front of a train"
"Worst bit is, I'm hardly even mad. We've screwed more leads this season than Charlie Sheen has women, so it's just become one of those things that's bound to happen every single time we're in front."

This was my favourite rant from the Victory game thread, this guy was clearly not happy...I laughed out loud in my office reading this one

**** the derby... Not going!! CBF with this ****ing shit every ****ing week... What the **** is wrong with us... Is it just a coincidence??... What's that... 15 games scored first now?? Only 4 ****ing wins... Don't blame the ****ing coach... Our players are the dumbest players to have ever played in the aleague... Bunch of ****ing spastics running around a rectangle pitch... And please if any **** here thinks we played well at all tonight you can FOAD!!! I have no doubt that we are the shittest team this league has ever seen!! The only reason we aren't last is because Covic has bailed us out... Most of our draws this season should have been losses!!! **** Ernie... **** Mehmet and **** all you dumb spastics running around in a victory shirt every week showing **** all!! You do not deserve the support we give you... 
That's my rant, feel better now!!

The rest of the website is down, but the forums are still running! This is much more bearable than what's happened before, well done Nik.

Hmm..I seem to be having trouble with embedding vids & web links, anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

I seem to remember being able a few months ago but not now.

To embed a video, get the embed code and post it in the Video Embed box. The key thing is that you need to RELOAD the page after you click save for the video to show up, it doesn't appear straight after you hit Save.

Worked for me using Chrome, what browser are you using? It's strange that it showed up in the editor for you but nothing once you posted it.

I'm using Chrome, so you're saying you can see a vid posted by me in that thread. Yes?

No, I could only see it when I used my mod powers to edit your post, and then I could see it after I edited your post.

I still find there is a problem when you click on the link for the last post to go to the last page in a thread it takes you to another page with no posts that seems to be a bug, then you have to click the previous page number to go to the last page (if that makes sense?).  Is that able to be fixed - it's quite annoying (although first world problems and all that...).  I'm on chrome if that makes a difference although think it also does this on Safari

I have found that some threads in particular do it (Ownership one always), but then others do it only when there is a number of posts that would fill the previous page. I think the threads doing it all the time are ones with modded comments, so the removed comments are still being counted when it works out where the last page is, so deposits you to a page which is blank. Just my idea as it seems to be the big more volatile threads that have it happen the most.

Yep, the ownership thread I seem to notice is most

I think hidden posts seem to screw things up as well. If there are more hidden posts in a thread than there are posts on the last page, the last page won't show up.

Yup and then we'll all go talk on 442 forums cos their forum interface isn't terrible looking, slow and seems about 7 years behind.
Sure there are some minor glitches that still get on nerves this is still way better than many alternatives. And the caliber of posters is far better.
