The New "All-in-one" match threads
« on: August 17, 2013, 11:36:15 PM »
Don't like them.

Having the match thread combined with the post-match thread means that if you are coming to H&V at this time of night, as I am, you are faced with a 86 page thread with no idea of where the post-match discussion is being held and I've now got to scroll through pages and pages of "Fuck, awful defending" " YEEEEEEESSSSSSS BEEEENNNTEEEKKKEEEEEE" and "Shine on Tony Moon" comments to find the start of the analysis of the game.

Please reconsider, keep the pre-match and actual match threads together if you must but can we please have a separate post-match analysis thread?

I know you have given a comment number to go to but it's not ideal, still got to keep going through the pages to find that comment.

I agree. It is alright saying Reply#993 but as there is no easy way to search for that or click it to take you directly there, it is pretty useless.

Click the three little dots which open up more page numbers, then you can jump straight to a page in the middle of thread and work out where you need to go after. Should take less than a minute to get to the post match stuff.

What Coops and Somniloquism said. When I logged on earlier this evening I had no interest in reading the last pre-match stuff or in match stuff and just wanted to read the post-match reaction but had to spend time clicking through the pages.

I was sat in Frankley Services for half an hour trying to find the final whistle.

The match thread is awesome while the game is being played but of no real interest afterwards.

Just my opinion, like.

I prefer the pre/match/post threads. All in one was OK for the friendlies but not the season.

I'm with the fellas here. Not a big fan of the big combined thread.

Just have everything combined into one ginormous thread.   Transfer speculation, match threads, the lot.

Yeah, maybe put pre-match with "in play" thread which makes sense and have a separate one for post-match. Has it not worked ok in the past?
My only gripe is that the post-match threads always seems to get shunted off the main Heroes Discussion page too early (a day or two after the game, when people are probably happy keep the post-mortem going up to a week afterwards if we don't have a game until then).

A quick lesson in the forum for people relating to the post numbers:

The last page of the match thread currently gives you an address of:

http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=50336.1290

The important bit of the URL is the very end, which is highlighted in red.

I've put the thread id in italics, that's specific to the thread.

I've put the post id in bold - that effectively tells it which page to go to.

therefore to use the 993 that is in the title:

http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=50336.993

tada!

Yes that's lovely, but just having a separate post-match thread would be much nicer!

It was worth a go but I really dislike them. They were implemented to try and tidy up the place but it's made things much less organised. Just seems to make more sense to return to the old system.
