    [edit -split from a match thread]

    @stargazer How did you get the line above the U in Manawatū (I copied and paste from yours)

    If you have a Mac you can select the Māori language keybord and you'll get a United Tribes flag in the corner where the language flag is (usually it's an Oz flag for NZ based Macs). You can find it under keyboard preferences.

    Then you just hold down option and the vowel and you'll get the macron.

    And I still don't know what a "hard refresh" is.

    @taniwharugby

    Thanks

    I don't get the issue myself. Does anyone else get it? I presume it's a recent issue?

    As usual it's worth clearing the browser cache. There were a lot of changes early last week

    Think I msy have had the issue previously, but not recently.

    Well that was a waste of time

    An error on the last step which I can't fix right now. So we've rolled back to the 3pm backup

    On a positive note - the backups work

    Thank Christ for that! Imagine if @MN5 had to repost his entire meme collection.

    again.

    The way that's going it might not have been wise.

    Doing it manually is possible, but it's more work. This is from that same webpage, and shows you how to do it:

    SR Results Page

    https://www.thesilverfern.com/sr-results

    Aussie Teams and Super Rugby AU are searchable

    No one was asking for this

    Eventually I assume the two comps will combine post covid. So I'll keep the results in one place now.

    Match Details

    I realised we were capturing a lot of info about games. So now that is collected on a single page.

    On the SR & NPC results table recent matches will have a View Details button:

    view details.png

    Clicking on that opens a new page with teamlists, highlights and the top 10 liked posts from the TSF thread.

    The teamlists were correct when they were named. I wouldn't rely on them being correct though.

    Currently the details go back to last years NPC and SR Aotearoa. Over time it should become a reasonable reference of what inane jokes were upvoted in match threads

    @Duluth Only get it when I first open a session - I click on unread and everything works.

    I figured it was some sort of age discrimination test thing 😉

    @antipodean said in Dark theme constantly resets:

    As per title, I use the dark theme and it constantly resets to the light theme without rhyme nor apparent reason. All tsf cookies are enabled and I'm using Opera. Anyone else experience this disturbance in the force?

    Hmm, no recent changes

    The plugin that does the css switch hasn't been updated for 3 years. The core forum app hasn't been updated on the tsf server for a few months

    All that is happening is that button sets a key/value in the browsers local storage. So something else must be clearing it out?

    @Yeetyaah said in NPC results archive:

    We just chuck results in the thread? I've come by a Waikato season overview book from the 1980 season which has all match results in it.

    Thanks but I think we have all the results now?

    I didn't include any 2nd division games before the 14 team competition. It was getting too complicated
    In 1980 Waikato wasn't in the first division
