Where should the web site go - what should we do? Who has the time between rows?

Hopefully not a big deal, but the link to the CTC from the Meterboard is still to the old site.

Easy to get there, so doesn't need updating if this is a pain, but might make sense to remove it?

This constantly catches me out. Despite appearing as the same menus as the main website. The menus on the Meterboard are actually hand coded. I sometimes forget that I need to make changes in two places. The menus could do with a bit of a tidy anyway to be honest. I don't think we need a Kit and Donations link for example.

Thanks for spotting it and taking the time to let me know Iain.

You would not believe how long it took me to find the code to change this. Many dead ends were encountered!

Anyway, I've made some decent notes now, so hopefully I won;t have the same issues next time.

I'm on a bit of a roll now so I will try to iron out some of the other known bugs this week if possible.

EDIT - I think I have fixed this properly now so that the Meterboard reads and copies the menus from the main forum automatically. ** Please shout if you see anything that is no longer working within the menus. **
