Highlights Page

It shows all the Highlights videos from youtube that we have in our DB

So that's every AB game from the 2015 final onwards. Every NPC and SR game from ~2020

Use the search field to filter by your team. Click the thumbnail to load the video, click again to play

Note the 'Match Details' button..

Match Details

This is a TSF snapshot of a game

We had a similar page before but there's more useful stuff on here now

• Team lists (accurate when they were named, if you need 100% accuracy sites like rugbydatabase that are better)
• Any related videos
• Related TSF articles (more likely in the last few years, older articles probably aren't linked correctly)
• Any related MOTM Polls
• 20 highest rated posts from the match thread (min votes 3)

It's surprising how good the 20 most liked posts are for giving a TSF feel for a game

There's 3 different ways of getting to a match page

• The 'Match Details' button on the highlights page mentioned in the last post
• The 'Details' button on any of our AB/SR/NPC Results page
• From a match thread. If a details page exists there is a green american football rugby ball visible on the thread

Questions, comments?

Feature suggestions?

@Duluth awesome work, very much appreciate the effort

[Kirwan]

Awesome stuff, love the polls and the grouping of all the highlights. Great to be able to go back an look at that in the past too.

Stats?

@Kirwan said in TSF Website - some new toys:

Stats?

Reckon we should just start our own, everyone on the fern picks a player and does their stats.

I'll take Proctor or Finau.

@Duluth that's fucking ace, great job. No suggestions as I couldn't have even thought of half of that.

[booboo]

Excellent work @Duluth. I echo @Bones 's comments.

Let us know if we cam help keeping content up to date or anything.

[antipodean]

Looks fantastic.

[sparky]

@Duluth

I love it.

[gt12]

That’s quite fucking choice!

[Duluth]

A couple of style changes on the forum. They should show up with a refresh

Hopefully I din't break too many things

Wanted more structure around the posts. Attempted to tidy up the quotes.. I've always hated the way they look.. I'm limited by how much I can change though

[Nepia]

Every post looks like a quote to me now.

Not complaining, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

[Frank]

What's that font style? I like it.

Why are there check marks appearing in each post? What does that mean?

Mona Sans

Tick has replaced the up chevron icon. It makes more sense for liking a post IMO

[canefan]

Loving the new look

[Smudge]

I like how each post looks a little more distinct and separate. Well played, Duluth.

[Kirwan]

Yeah, this is much easier to read, looks nice.

[sparky]

It looks nice and more contemporary. A bit easier to read everything too. 👍
