Throughout the summer the initial groundwork was done to set up the framework for the site.

• All the basic categories and forums were added.
• Directions to each club were added
• Domain name prestwichsnooker.com purchased
• Technical work to link the domain name to this forum
• Calendar enabled, some events added
• Site posting rights and permissions added
• Site logo created and added

These are just a few of the high-level tasks that have been done to get the site up and running. Please note that I am running this site on a voluntary basis, receiving no payment for it and as such will only implement those features that are free (or close enough to free for a significant benefit)

As future enhancements to the site are made, they will be listed here.

Full list of 2005 honours added for the knockout competitions

This season's league fixtures have now been added.
Further work will be done on this section as results arrive.

An extra avatar gallery has been added for snooker heroes. Details in their own topic in this section.

Chatroom added. Details in their own topic in this section.

Google keywords and phrases added. Should be picked up by the googlebots over the next couple of days

Arcade added over the weekend.

searching for the keywords prestwich snooker now brings this site in as top ranking site in both google and yahoo searches.

Further developments for February:
A new skin - the basic one can only last for so long
More smilies - a bit of variety

Nice work Mark, your doing an excellent job. B)

Yes I will second Nicks comments , awesome work Mark and the site seems to be generating alot of interest lately.

was talkin to nick in the libs the other week an this is an excellent idea to have a forum, as for the skins most of the forums i go on give you the option to pick of 5 or six, think this is a php site aswell so i could try n find you the info if you like mark?

Thanks Rob, I'm looking through a few of the skins now.
I've got the code for you to select the skins, just need to find decent free skins because I don't want to be having to shell out for something that's really a nice to have.

If you see anything that you think would be suitable, let me know. B)

You may have noticed that there's now an extra 10 skins to choose from. A couple are a bit naff and I'll be getting rid of them in due course, but some are OK and some are good. I might even try creating one of my (our) own when I figure out how.

David Darlington has signed up, so I've given him moderator status so that he can go in and update the league tables and other closed topics that are there to act as the more official side of the site.

magic balls and moderator staus!!!!!!!!!!!!! next stop world domination B)

I always wondered why he had a microwave, must have been for heating a couple of balls so they can be kept apart. :lol:

Can't fault the effort that David's put in down the years though. He was running the show when I started about 12/13 years ago and his passion for it hasn't waned, apart from the odd "run it yerself then" response when people make stupid suggestions. A fairly thankless task.

yeah he gets some stick but on the whole it is just ribbing, it is a thankless task but without his effort there would be no league - simple as :)

Dave has done a great job running this league and it is a thank less task listening to the stick he gets somtimes, good of you to drag him into the twenty first century Mark, people with Dave`s commitment are far and few between.
