Notices and Bugs
- Club 80-90 members are the only ones with editing rights at the moment.
- File:Bug-image2.jpg When saving pages sometimes you might have to click 'save page' several times before you get out of preview mode and the page is actually saved. When in preview mode the page will say "Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved!" at the top. if you dont keep clicking save page until this disappears then yuor edit wil NOT be retained. (sometimes takes 4 or more attempts) I believe this may be due to our internet servers being spread accross several machines and you have to have your "save request" dealt whith by the machine that you opened your editing session on.
- File:Bug-image2.jpg Some times when posting external links you may need a space between the | and the address, test your links after you have saved them
- Red links are pages that do not yet have information added to them.
- Please list your source if what you are posting is not your own, Ask permission first if there is copyrite on it, and if it is from another website please put the link to the original URL
