Ricky,
For about a day I kept getting that same RECENT COMMENTS There are …
and just now the recent comments are working fine again… perhaps you fixed it after hawkeye’s post?
Agree. Would work in two ways. Firstly it would stop tournament threads getting cluttered with general conversations and chit chat. Secondly, much easier to keep track when interesting discussions are underway. At the moment they stop abruptly when the tournament finishes and the thread is no longer active.
I seriously love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme.
Did you create this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my
own website and would like to know where you got this from or
what the theme is called. Thanks!
The thing I find difficult is tracking back to a thread which is not active.
I usually manage to find it eventually by patiently clicking through the list of categories but it is a hit or miss process. A complete Archive page like the section on TT would solve this.
Deucy: Your mention of product placement on the Nadal thread reminded me of an obvious bit of business last night. During the last changeover just before he served for the match Ferrer rummaged around in his bag, pulled out a carton of Minavit vitamin powder, shook it about, added it to his bottle of water, then carefully stood the carton on the bench beside him β all the while making sure the brand name was clearly visible.
I laughed to myself because I wondered if he had nearly forgotten to do it or whether he had bee instructed to wait until he was sure he was about to win.
I was half expecting the commentator to announce “He would NEVER have been able to win this match without MINAVIT”
ok I added an archives widget on the right side, near the bottom. If you know approximately in what month a desired article was written, it should be able to be found.
Yes, there was a rather extensive search function, by date, words, forum, etc. If such a search function were enabled for this site, it would be subject to the limitations of the WordPress programming.
Ricky,
For about a day I kept getting that same RECENT COMMENTS There are …

Same here. It was down from yesterday pm until approx 30 mins ago.
are the recent comments working for everybody?
Working for me. I, too, had the one day deal where they weren’t working…assumed it was some sort of system glitch and that it would soon be fixed.
thanks.
See the Federer thread for another site question….
Federer says Rafa is his toughest opponent ever:
http://rafaelnadalfans.com/2013/10/19/roger-federer-interview-cnn-rafael-nadal-wimbledon-final/
^^^ how is that “non-tennis”? π
Nowhere else to post it.
the Federer thread would be very realistic option….
ah, you figured that out :thumbsup:
Ricky, maybe we also need a General Tennis thread, non tournament related.
good idea
Others thoughts?

I like the new layout for the Home Page.
GOAT thread?

Queue in mournful violin music…………………..
“queue” ? Thought orchestra sat in a circle….;)
I think it’s supposed to be “cue”! π
Whoopsadaisy. That was a clanger ?

I added “Player pages” to the Social menu, so that there is a forum to discuss specific players–about stuff not related to matches.
I have separate pages for Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Federer, and then one for “Non-Big 4” players.
Check it out – https://tenngrand.com/social/player-pages/
feedback appreciated….
also most recent 8 comments now displayed on main page
Excellent addition, Ricky! Now I can blather on about Rafa on his own page and not feel guilty………….
And love the elongated most recent comments section…………..
Each new development to date has enhanced this site.
Yes, these are all welcome additions.
Agreed π
The thing I find difficult is tracking back to a thread which is not active.

I agree with ed. This is one of the main problems I have on this site. It is a hit or miss process to try and find it.
I would love to see a Archive page like we had on TT.
Good suggestion! π
^^^.Was afraid it was just I who was a bit slow on the uptake. Glad I’m not alone!
what was the archive page on TT????

Lol ed π a bit like Andy and his Rolex!
Saw the first set of that but really don’t care for JJ so didn’t see any more.
i’m blanking on what the archive page at tennistalk was….. can you be more more specific with what you want/what the archive page should be?
thanks for the feedback!

supposed to be on Non-Big 4 page
Wasn’t there an archive page on TT? Isn’t that how we found the old stuff from way back when?
ok I added an archives widget on the right side, near the bottom. If you know approximately in what month a desired article was written, it should be able to be found.
i also added a “search” menu at the top right, just above “popular recent article.”
if you search for a player, all the articles about him will pop up.
let me know if this is good or not
Ricky: Just tested it. Works like a charm. I’m good with that kind of basic search engine although others may want something more encompassing.
basic will have to work for now!
appreciate the feedback
