Hesi Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 This one seems a bit flash for a couple of old hacks like us Any thoughts Quote

pete Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Hmm a bit boring with the default. Your choice...😁 Quote
Buller Rep Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Hesi, you need to sort out the various indexes, otherwise the site is starting to look great. Quote

It was a bit of a tough call to move when we were just getting some traction but we're confident it was the right thing to do. Keep posting your stuff, it's most informative. Quote
curious Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 It is also much faster (for me). Good work. 1 Quote
Hesi Posted June 27, 2019 Author Posted June 27, 2019 I can assure everyone, it is also a Thomass free zone. If by some quirk of law, we had to allow him to join, we would close the site down in preference.....eh Pete And it may come as a shock to a few, but we do actually have free speech on here, respectful debate I think you could call it. I think I have had enough of seeing threads started with WTF, somebody being called an areshole or a c..t, and then people starting threads, wondering where everyone has gone 1 Quote

Guest Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 This format is way more aesthetically appealing. Good choice team. 🙌 Quote
Hesi Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 Thanks Chris and Maxi The old format was a bit basic, and a few were having technical problems posting from spreadsheets. When Pete went back and did the costings, knowing more precisely what we wanted, the new platform costs worked out at $6-7 per month extra, so a no brainer. And you are right about the old crap.....that was the reason we started this site in the first place(and quite a few told us that), so thanks for the appropriate reminder 2 Quote
Porky Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I had to rush over to the Hastings races on Saturday as mate turned up...I was mid-stream posting on your new all up comp Hesi ! good work...don,t make it too hard !...I was only one leg out (maybe say must add up to $100 or something to be eligible for prize) ...Cool ...More comps the merrier. 1 Quote
LookingForValue Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Already a step up. Bit Of A Yawn asking for me to pay to have extra services. Is that a bit like the village blow hard gets on K' Rd? 1 Quote

I don't see how it will work but good luck to anyone who wants to splash their hard earned out on it. 1 Quote

Why would you, when you can get all the news elsewhere, competitions(and very good ones) elsewhere, and a proven Punter's Club elsewhere. I am struggling to see any motivating reason 1 1 Quote
LookingForValue Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Now when I look at Bit Of A Yawn, the comments on each page are interspersed with ads. I guess not paying up as a subscription will mean more ads. Don't remember them before. Lucky I only stop by every now and then for a laugh. You are heading in the right direction with this site Edited July 6, 2019 by LookingForValue 1 Quote
