Hey all,

Sorry but I didn't know where I should put this thread and I assumed a lot of DT'ers use this site so they might know whats up. I tried a few times to sign up on FanFooty site to only a few days later get this

Sounds pretty simple but I have checked my email many times, given it a week or two but still no activation email. I checked junk boxes and all that but still nothing. Am I missing something like is there no more accounts allowed to be made on that site? I have tried emailing the admin of the site but didn't get a response so if anyone knows or has experienced/overcome this problem let me know.

Thanks.

Another issue, the delayed "live" scoring for tonights game is currently stuck on QTR Time. It is now half time in Melbourne, and still the quarter time scores are showing. I have refreshed several times, but no change.

Does that mean the scores DIDN'T get stuck at quarter time for you?
Are you in Melbourne?

I couldn't get any delayed scores after quarter time, I tried refreshing, tried hard refreshing, tried changing the delay from 60 to a bunch of other times. All of these resulted in the same QTR time scores being displayed.

I didn't try closing my browser and re-opening the site, just thought of that now, however the live scores were updating correctly, so it's not like my connection was stuffed.

Did this happen to anyone else?

Anyone have any suggestions for solutions if it happens again?

Monty? Anyone?
 
I found last night here in Perth that the Fanfooty delayed scores were about 10 minutes in front of the TV telecast. Not a big issue, just thought i would point it out.

Great work on the site m0nty, love ya work :)

I can help you out there Zmithy. You can manually adjust the amount of delay by altering the address. When viewing delayed scores, you will notice in the address bar a segment at the end of the address which says "&delay=60" or "&delay=120" or some other number, maybe 180 or 240 in Perth. That number is the amount of minutes of delay, so if it is out of sync, you can just add or subtract the amount of minutes you want.

how do you make the live scoring delayed? need some help ive got no idea how to do it.

There are links on the front page for the different states which are showing a delayed telecast. The amount of delay in each state will be automatically added, depending which state you click on.

Alternatively, you can just type "&delay=60" at the end of the URL. The 60 represents 60 minutes, you can change that number to whatever you like, to suit your needs.

A great feutre of the site IMO, enabling great flexibility.

PS. enter "&delay=60" without the quotation marks.

Try it this weekend, hope that made sense.
 
Great work over the last month M0nty. Lots of great new features.

I have one more suggestion that doesn't require programming :)

I was thinking of the BBC text commentary for premier league and how perhaps you could through in the occasional question from fanfooty chat.

The BBC forums are full of as many morons as there are on the chat but occasionally there is a little jem of a(n) question, jibe or observation. Anyway, you're the commentator - I'll leave it up to you.

ShiftyMP I think has been your best additional commentator so far.

When I help out Monty on the Live Match Blogs (as ShiftyMP), I try and work into the posts as much as possible the match time left on the clock (playing time), as I try and limit myself to games on Foxtel and they generally (not last night) display the countdown clock.

I try and get a 15:00 left, 10:00 left, 5:00 left etc. post in where possible, or weave it in when a goal is scored on a ''round number'' of minutes left.

As for responding to questions/comments on the Match Blog, I (personally, don't know about others) have the Game Live Chat open in another window and keep track of what's being said in there - but when 95% of all posts in there are people continually asking who everybody's all-time favourite player is, people paying out on Petrenko, people paying out on any first-year player that doesn't score 115 every week, people sooking like girls about fighting over a colour, people quoting Gary Ablett Snr DT scores from the 1980s - its sometimes hard to keep track of what is genuine and what is twelve year olds staying up past their bedtimes...
 
Hey Monty love your site. Just a quick question about the head to head matches for league games. Are they working at the moment because I get this message when I try to use it

delay working for anyone in VIC or OZ?

when i checked at 8:30, delay was showing live scores.

for the last 45 min, all im getting is "loading data...."
 
What the **** Monty!

I hold off on looking at the live scores and wait for the delayed telecast at 8:30... I clip on WA on FF and the live scores come up!!!!!

Lucky i closed my eyes quickly and only saw Gaz with the gun(I have Gaz so its all good) and the score with 5mins to go!

Almost ruined my night!!!! I have Enright, Mackie, Gaz, Bartel, Selwood, Chappy, Cooney, Cross and Higgins playing.... Supposed to be an exciting night for me:eek:
