You are so gonna sell more supporter with the new forum setup ;D I love to see logos of the teams behind the managers. Having country and league also adds to the experience.

Is the signature text only, or can I add a sleek graphic there? (If so, what size?)

Was not too easy to figure out. Then I am fully happy.

Another thing I would like is the number of played national team matches listed in each players profile.

Also I hope that the ranking list for each country will be possible to see as it is pretty frustrating to know your ranking without knowing who is ahead and behind without going through all leagues ...

Team rank is a calculated based on team performance in official competitions (league, tournament, B3). I am not quite sure how exactly it's constructed, though.

I think tournament performance has a pretty big weight and the "window" is probably about one season in length. My team is ranked 1st in Suomi (I won the three previous Cups, have decent success in the top league, and went to quarter finals in the Cup this season), which sort of makes sense to me. The team ranked 2nd in Suomi is the other Cup finalist from last season. They are currently fifth (tied for fourth) in their conference in the top league and like me reached the quarter finals in the Cup this season. They promoted from division II for this season. The team that has won the league title for the past three seasons is 4th, while the current regular season leader is 14th. Teams still unbeatable in the Cup are 3rd, 5th, 6th (division II), and 18th (division II). The three teams with the higher ranks all went to top 16 last season while the fourth team had a top-512 finish.

I agree with that one. Tournament performance highly influences the country rank. I'm currently leading my conference in the D1, but got eliminated in round 3 of the cup. My country rank 16, the losing finalist in our cup this year is ranked 7th but is playing in D2.

Not a big one, but currently there is no logout button on forums pages.

I like a lot of the things so I won't mention those, but just the things I'd like to see added (some have already been suggested) and some that I think could get a bit of more attention :

- an option to have the long menu as default
- game shape on set your lineup screen
- schedule page, well idk what's really wrong with it but, somehow, I think it could be even a bit better
- more info in player history, as in all star appearances, mvp ranking not votes (maybe ranking then votes in parenthesis), NT debut game, three points contests and things like that
- and yeah I also dislike the idea of rating the posts and users, you know how people are on the Net...
- and is it just me but the menu bar on the left disappears while reading the forums? that a bug or on purpose? I'd like to have it back please

I'll probably find more stuff I want to say but don't have the time atm

all in all, a real change for the better

I see game shape on set your lineup screen. On the left side of Experience.

We are the ones who wanna play, always wanna go but we never wanna stay

-It would be a nice feature to add the first and last match for NT. (Not the first they were nominated because virtually all 18yo players with pot. 6+ would have been in U21 xDDDD )

Great new site. The only thing I am not wild about is the post rating option. I think that might turn ugly and/or hurt people's feelings unnecessarily.

I definitely agree, I don't see how that will contribute to the forums.
Most people won't grade by what they really think, but of interest this or that and because of social considerations. with all of goodwill, I think it unnecessary ..
Another thing, chat is great idea but is not too simple? who have entered the first to chat, controls all. why should it ? and why can I see the IP of everyone? this is not a little dangerous from hackers?

Apart from that, I really like the new site.. you did very impressive work.
There are all kinds of things that can add as already proposed here..
Waiting for final version :)

Thanks !

Would it be possible to allow a chat between players who are facing each other in a match?
