H Wragg Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Is it just me or is this thing almost constantly down? While I'm at it, the formatting of the fixtures and results pages are shite (unless I'm doing it wrong). Too much 'graphics' means that sometimes one day's fixtures in a particular division are spread over 2 pages.Also, one page with all the league's results in the one place would be handy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my area of knowledge but it doesn’t seem to handle the traffic well and find they appear okay on the PC but not so great on mobile devices. I like the site and not being critical but might be better changing providers or package. Also table layout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 They're updated on social media - just not the website yet. When are the Lowland League going to update their Development League pages to this season rather than 2019-20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 They're updated on social media - just not the website yet.Which is a bit shite to be honest.SJFA site was far more professionally presented and run, as in everything was updated by teatime on a Saturday.ps. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not some bellend with an axe to grind with the transition from Juniors to Seniors, I would just like an easy to read couple of pages for all the results and tables on a Saturday night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been back on the Juniors website and it is improved since the West clubs were there. They did say they were looking into the problems with the WoSFL site. Hopefully they will be adding to it over time (when you click into a particular result). I would have preferred (like others) to have everything on the one page for a days results but this is the way things are going now. They want the fancy graphics whereas the old farts like me just want the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Unfortunately the hosting of the WoSFL website doesn't seem to be able to cope with the volume of traffic it gets.The Management Committee are actively pursuing an improved situation, we are as frustrated by it as everyone else.We thank everyone for their patience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The style of the site is not suited for its purpose. Results need to be easily seen , not spread out as they are. PFC use same style but we are one club, not a league with 70+ members. The EOSFL is the best out there IMO in pyramid, followed by North Caley (for content of results). https://www.eosfl.com/ http://www.northcaleyfa.co.uk/results.php 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not wanting to be overly scathing at this early point but it's always down in the immediate aftermath of games which is when most people want to see it. I'm sure it will get there in the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hopefully the site will improve fairly soon, the EOS is a good one, guess it has been going a bit longer than the WOSFL. Maybe the EOS chap could pick up the phone and offer his services, I'm useless on modern tech so can't offer anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it definitely needs better hosting and/or caching etc. to improve the performance when everyone is hitting it on matchdays.

They want the fancy graphics whereas the old farts like me just want the results. The SJFA website is the same as when the west clubs were there, it changed for the 19/20 season. It had a few annoying features as well - the fixtures page showed games month by month by default so if you visited in the last week of the month with no games scheduled, you had to select the next month from the dropdown. Plus it was harder to find the games for a single club - WOS site you just click on a club name. On 02/08/2021 at 09:45, cmontheloknow said: The style of the site is not suited for its purpose.

EOSFL isn't too bad, though now they've added the U20s games it really clutters things up and there's no way to filter them out (and they don't yet have all the fixtures listed). The WOS website is the same WP theme as the LL one, fine for a single league of 18 but doesn't work as well for 74 clubs...
