I have been a little quiet recently regarding site changes, so I just wanted to post a quick update.
Currently tied up with IOS (IPhone/IPad) client. This is right off the release of the Android version, which has taken up much of my time this year.
The IOS version may be delayed again though, as a required server change will likely become a priority soon. This is never trivial.

In the rush to move on to new projects, things are getting overlooked.

These two will be looked at, as a minor update is coming to the Android app. The rush to IOS is to provide an app for core site functionality, the full feature parity with Android will come after the first couple of releases, but it is important to get a native IOS app out there ASAP.

The IOS version is taking all available development time. It won't be released in 2016, but should be very nearly complete, other than testing (Phase #1, anyway), before new year rolls around. I can say this confidently as I am starting to be able to use some parts of the app with live data now.
Phase #2 will be tournaments, ladders and subs and will follow very soon after the first release.
I always look at "site announcements" when I go on the forums so i'm up to date.
I only hope all the updates to do with modern technology(I haven't a clue what IOS , apps and phonepads are) don't affect us poor old dinosaurs using desktop computers.
One of the programs I have on my machine still uses windows 3.1.1!!

The mobile apps are very important for the site's future now as they are another avenue for people to discover the service (rather than just the web site) now Google/Web Search is less important.

The downside, it is a phenomenal amount of work, and using more new tech that has to be learned. (It really is endless...!)
