I wanted to take just a minute to share a few changes that have been made today, mainly with team pages.

First, there is now a "Map" tab for all teams. If I have the coordinates to a team's home field, the tab will be shown. Please note that these are the same locations that allow me to populate the weekly map. If the map displays the wrong location, please let me know and I'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Second, speaking of incorrect information, I've added a "Report" link at the bottom of the team pages for overview, schedule, map and archive. Please use this link to report any incorrect or missing data on any of these pages.

Third, there is now a new block in the sidebar (the "sidebar" will display at the bottom of the page on narrow devices). The new block is for "Missing team data". Simply, if there is data missing from the team, you can look there to find out. If you have any of the missing/incorrect data, please contact me and I'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Finally, if you are browsing the scores archive, clicking on a team name will take you directly to that team's complete schedule for the year that you're browsing.

I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. Instead of creating a new account, if you change teams for example, so you can get a new username, members can now simply change their username from the account details page.

Please note that members can only change their username once every 90 days. Also, your old username will be unusable for a full year from the date you change.

To make finding teams a bit more obvious than having to search by schedule, I've added a "Teams" page, as part of the sub-navigation to the Home menu.

That page will show a listing of all the currently active teams in the database, as well as a search box to search for inactive/JV teams as well.

I've now added an easier way to browse the schedule/score archives by team. When viewing a team's overview or schedule page, you will now see an "Archive" tab.

Clicking that tab will take you to that team's schedule and score archives. From there, there is another tab bar with options for navigating by year. If a year is missing, it's because we have no games for that team, for that year listed in the database.

That said, I have already found a few games that are listed for one team and not the other. This is because the team ID is missing for one of the teams. If you notice any games missing, please let me know and I'll work to get it corrected as soon as possible.

For those who haven't already found it, the "Message boards" have now been renamed to "Forums". The reason for this is because the it's the software default for the software we're now using. In order for it to stay as "Message board", I'd have to manually go in and change it every time I update the site to the latest version of our software. Rather than doing that, I figured it was best (definitely easier) to just let the default language prevail.

So, you will now find what used to be the message board in the "Forums" tab in the navigation. Nothing else has changed.

Sorry I didn't put this announcement up yesterday, following the update where I decided to let it go, and I'm certainly sorry if this caused any inconveniences for any of you. I thought the two phrases were pretty much universally interchangeable so didn't even consider it would be necessary to post a notice about it.

Today I added a few prefixes that can be used in both the Games Needed / Open Dates and Coaching Vacancies forums. This will, hopefully, make it easier to distinguish between dates/jobs that are open and ones that are already filled.
