Cheers Rick

One site fits all, very good gents.

https://www.puredfc.co.uk/

If i had any official capacity at the club i'd be pleading with you two guys to sort out DFC's social media.

Thanks and keep up the good work, it is appreciated.

We've just hit the 100 members mark and after such a short space of time that's quite an achievement.

Lots of familiar faces have signed up again and i suspect some incognito , hopefully though some of these are new members as well.

Still a few notable absentees so i would encourage you all to join again as there are just as many (if not more) hidden guests always on line so i know you're out there reading this anyway

Whilst we might not always agree it's good to be able to have a chat about our football club and most importantly we all have the same thing in common, we want success for DFC.

It might also be worthwhile in purchasing an SSL certificate

"thedarts.eu" now has a SSL certificate as of today to match "puredfc.co.uk" from a couple of weeks ago.

Tomorrow will be the official 1 month "anniversary" of this forum.

In the past month:

I added a WordPress option with new domain name for Disco Stu for his previews, gave that site a SSL certificate as well as giving this site one (ie from http to https).

I did my first forum software upgrade - so it's running the latest.

I applied a mod to the software so that external webpage links open up in new tabs & don't exit the forum.

I added code so that I can create a table like in "The Leach/Towersey Memorial Shield Thread 2021/22" post, so it looks better.

118 registered members so far - plenty more out there to join.

Just looking at the people commenting on the DFC Facebook page - most of them
don't know a forum exists, I am sure.

Here are two charts. One from before I installed the forum software (installed 25th August) & one from last week. Small difference. Not many people knew my websites existed, obviously.
I was definitely getting more traffic eons ago though.

Indeed, I remember when Gary's forum was really active too, especially around the time when AFC Sudbury also had a forum. I remember the banter.
I also remember "Mr Gaz" in the stands relaying info via phone to "Mrs Gaz" at home, to keep the forum updated with the latest at the games.

The stats show how many visitors accessed the website. Visitors are uniquely
identified on the basis of the IP address and the browser ID. If a visitor goes to the website more than once a day, only one visitor is counted.

The stats only include the forum & unofficial website - not the preview site or my other DFC related satellite sites as they are under different domain names.

Maybe I should add a weekly graphic to this post so we can all see the traffic?
Anyone think this is a good idea or not?

I haven't a clue what a lot of that means Rick but i do know that everything is working well and appreciate all the hard work you've put in

Well done and thanks.

I showed you how to transfer files via ftp, so I'm sure I could explain the above
Just need more people to sign up (other than the Russians who I keep blocking).

The visitor stats are probably One Step Beyond what your average forum member wants. Good to see a healthy number though!

Another graph!!! Had enough of those the last 19 months Rick .
No offence but shouldn't it all be in Black and White and not Blue? i think it would look better.
But other than that Rick, a splendid job you are doing.

I'll leave the stats out of it and crawl back in my cave

Well, I am one of those who is often looking at the site on more than once most days.
Again, many thanks for all your efforts Rick, along with other contributors such as Disco Stu.
