Bulldogs Debate Page - timeless...

"To comply with the NSW law changes (https://www.liquorandgaming.nsw.gov.au/Pages/about-us/news-and-media/recent-news/new-guidelines-for-gambling-advertising-published.aspx) Punters.com.au will no longer be offering the “Other Sports” forum. To ensure compliance with the legislation, Punters must operate solely and exclusively for the purposes of racing content."

That's a shame, but on the bright side, at least this page is a proper sports forum, so it's much more appropriate for discussing Rugby League & other sports.

Hey BN...thanks for setting up this site...see how it goes.

well done BN - bit of a shock to suddenly lose BDP- it always seemed odd to go to a racing page - and this seems  a good set up

It was easier this time around than it was last time it happened 5 years ago. At least the whole website didn't vanish & there was the opportunity to get a new link to everyone. When it happened before there was no way to contact anyone whatsoever. People kept trying to load the page for days or weeks not knowing if it was permanently dead or what.
I had to discuss it with the Punters owners (that also owned the suddenly extinct rleague.com) so we could keep a page going somehow. Most people, apart from a handful I got through to via email, were out of the loop. Some are gone forever, others managed to find it over time, perhaps by google or word of mouth.
Anyway, it is what it is, for better or worse. Not sure if this one auto-refreshes like the other one, but the "F5" key does a refresh. Looks like there's a few settings & viewing modes to be found.  And emoticons, gawd help us all. :) :rolleyes:

i can't work out how to post - only to reply

There's a "Reply" button under other posts, also a "Post Reply" button at the bottom of the screen. I honestly don't know the difference. Perhaps "Reply" adds quotes & "Post Reply" doesn't.

Yes, after testing, that's how it works. This was a "Reply". The longer one a few posts above (without quotes) was a "Post Reply".
And the edit function works. That'll be handy.

ok so to create a separate post, as i have done here , you use post reply

Looks correct to me. Now another test, to scroll up & see if doing a "Reply" (the one with quotes) to a far earlier post, puts the actual reply way back or as the last post on the page...

No probs. Actually I didn't set up the site, credit goes to those that did, I just joined & started one of many threads amongst those already on it, but hopefully they're happy to have another football thread on their sports forum.

haha, ok, replying to an older post goes to the bottom...

BN you bl00dy legend... :) 
Hi Team...

Bad terminology from me BN saying "site" :) ....but I did want to thank you...I am doing a test on the reply option too using my Samsung :)

Dutchy first try scorer today... 

All good...wouldn't be tho if all conversations were included. ..i like the preview msg box too..will save me including thumb typos :)

Anyone worked out how to open it at last post on page...so we dont have to scroll past everything...not that tech savvy :)

There's a drop-down menu on the right of the (BDP) thread header "View". You can change the layout from Threaded, Ascending or the one you apparently want - Descending.

Seems like we might lose a few regulars if they aren't able to find this link. I put it in 2 threads over there but it might get quickly buried amongst other things on there.
From the 2nd of July, anything that isn't racing related will be outlawed over there due to legal conflicts with advertising & whatever else they're on about.
Might help if people keep an eye on it for the next day or so & try to bump it where people can see it. Again, it's not easy keeping things together.
Anyone with emails of the other posters, let them know if you can.

Hi Guys,
Shame about the punters site. I kinda got use to it and now need to re-adjust on this version.
In any case, thanks BN for the link. Hope all regular posters get to see the change so we can keep the banter going.

Go the Dogs.

Well here we go again.  Thanks BN great work!

Anyone know how to setup the pic/avatar?

20s won 30-6 while Intrust is getting flogged 30-4 at half-time.  Hope Meaney is playing well.

Surprised we haven't seen HD as yet...Dman can you get hold of Villi :)

How are we Dan?   I have a feeling we will win today.

I did it on my PC. Had to tinker about for a while because the pic must be a certain height & width. So many pixels by so many pixels. Can't remember how many now, it was 5am in the morning & the coffee was barely kicking in. I used "g.i.m.p" or whatever it's called (free image editor) to adjust the pixels (height/width). Once the website does accept the pic, you get an opportunity to stretch/move 4 boundaries over the pic with the mouse so you can centre on what part of the pic you want displayed. Good feature actually.
As for the larger image on the profile page, I just haven't done it yet. I'm not sure I'd want to try doing any of it on a mobile phone, but others might, considering most are better at using or typing into the little things than me.

Welcome back, Nancy.

I was planning to watch Penrith & Manly reggies on Fox to try & see that winger, but forgot it was on until less than 10mins to go. One of those days again...

I just clicked  one of the images from the site. Try and change it later but it will do for now.  Thanks again Bloody for getting us over here. Good to have an edit button and if all goes well we should stay here imo.

Steve has the link, he just hasn't posted yet. I think he said he had to work this arvo. I'm sure he can email Zef if Zef hasn't found the link yet, so that'll be a few more later.

TESTING  :   Bulldogs and Eels should merge
