Re: WOOF Update

Have only read GVGjr's initial post and srtrongly respect him and the site.
I found WOOF a decade ago looking for fellow Bulldog supporters.
I have never posted on or sought another site, WOOF is knowledgable and very faithful to our club.
I will respect whatever decision you make Gary and thanks so much for the decade of shared bulldoggedness so valuable to a solo old footscray supporter!
We won the premiership in 2016 and were able to share it with all the WOOFers.
Thanks Gary and all mods n contributors.
I'll never forget you.

Re: WOOF Update

Hopefully Woof continues on as we are all passionate about our club and we all love talking Bulldogs which is all we need right here, especially those of us who do live interstate and i'm sure all of us fully appreciate the work and efforts from Gary over many years keeping the site up and running.

Like many i joined years ago and really enjoyed contributing and reading others opinions, stories etc but unfortunately a few things going on in life (moving up North selling up (house and job) was the key reason for not being on Woof for a good ten years, then Marriage, having kids, finding new jobs and everything that goes along with all of that sort of got my life focusing on other area's but obviously still passionately supporting our great club via Fox Footy, SEN online, the "ONE" game per season if lucky in Bris/GC.

I had been meaning to come back sooner but life as we know kept me focused elsewhere and thanks to Gary who did message me on a few occasions for a few good chats, my one Woof regret is that i wasn't on here in 2016 although i did get my membership Grand Final ticket (yes still and always be a member despite attending 1 or zero games - although i did sneak in 7 or 8 Hub games at Metricon in 2000, the only positive with Covid) and had a great side on view seat (didn't really care where it was, i was there!!!!!) hugging 20 or so complete strangers wearing red white and blue on the final siren, but meeting back up with Brother (Flamethrower) and a few mates afterwards, how bloody glorious.

So back now, will try and post as much as i can although life is a lot more hectic than it once was and hopefully be part of it on here will all you awesome folk to celebrate our next Premiership!!!!! Go Woof!

Re: WOOF Update

The IT guy hasn't been able to progress things like I would have hoped.
Perhaps this weekend we will have some new features to enjoy and an improved logging on experience.

Re: WOOF Update

Okay,, after a very frustrating 4 to 6 weeks waiting for some new features, a more responsive mobile app and hopefully a new look and theme (Thanks to GrantyGhost) we now might be close to 'unleashing' a new an improved version of WOOF.
Fingers crossed this will be completed in the next 2 or 3 days.stay tuned.

Re: WOOF Update

Thanks for all your efforts GvGjr.

There's a good buzz around woof this preseason and the training reports from so many dedicated woofers are top notch.

I?m crossing fingers the like and dislike buttons will reappear on I phones and quotation marks don?t turn into question marks.

Have you installed the latest software updates your phone recently? I don't use iphones but I've had a few people report back that once they installed the latest software updates on their iphone/ipad it fixed a few of the problems.
That said, it's one of a number of requests I gave the IT guy.

Sounds great, thank you.

Will the browser version have any changes?

Re: WOOF Update

I'm not quite sure about the question about the browser. People choose their own browsers.

The vBulletin version we use isn't changing. I could fix the mobile component if we went to VB version 5 or 6 but we lose a lot of other features including likes and thanks etc and the look of the forum changes quite dramatically. The later versions are more limited with add-on options and even visually. Developers stopped creating add-ons as the versions 5 and 6 didn't cater for them.

The aim is to fix the responsiveness of the mobile app to accommodate the members who use this as their primary WOOF interaction, add a few more features, fix the issue with the characters for iphone/ipad users and to change the older retro style of the header to a fresher look. A lot of this was based on feedback from newer and existing member.

In essence with every upgrade there is going to need to be a few compromises we will all need to accept to fix some of the other challenges but we are long overdue for trying to fix some of the challenges.

Re: WOOF Update

The IT guy has confirmed he is working on the upgrade. Perhaps we will get this done sooner rather than later.

Yeah-I?m up to date with software. It?s no biggie if it can?t be addressed.

As you can see it?s apostrophes that are replaced by question marks. Here?s a tester for ?quotation marks?.

They happen with Google Chrome browser as well
