New website

[Alex Gillies]

Thanks all for your feedback.

Some replies...

Alex:
Non-members or people who are not logged in shouldn't be able to access the member-only content. The member-only content is the live grades and games lists (with stats etc). Currently I don't think those who are marked as non-members can see this stuff? Or is it some other content you thought should not be available to non-members?

Andrew see screen cap attached. Members only forum- you need to login to post but you can view only without logging in.  Slightly confusing wording wise  but I think its actually meant to work that way.

The screen cap is also the page that contains too much old posts.

Newsletter feeds, agree with what you said  - I wasn't suggesting any new content , just an email link to email list now and again highlighting interesting issues/events to try and encourage wider use of the website and forum and perhaps chess membership. 

Re social media - I realise it's the usual suspects who do all the unpaid work but the point of linking to something like a closed facebook group  or twitter is that you want it to grow itself and I assume less admin and responsibility as a result.  The website and forum are both under used and although the new website is much better already I still don't see it being used as much as it should or could be.  I see ECF have links on home page website but not the forum - I think the twitter feeds work better than facebook
