Well I suppose I'd better apologise for a lot of things here today! Why I haven't been on in ages, why the uploads have not worked, why the rosters are in a mess... Sorry guys I've let you down a bit lately haven't I?
OK, well, I haven't been on in a week and a bit because I've been polishing up the odd file, making FOUR different setup programs (thanks to Xavier for 2 of them, thanks to my crappy connection for the other 2), only one of which was used (too big to upload one big file with this modem so I had to use the one that is over 15 files which I don't think is a bad thing at all), and uploading (today I uploaded for the 8th time, if I didn't have the £10 a month deal for free Internet calls with FreeServe I would be bankrupt, no doubt).
Why have the first SEVEN uploads not worked? Well, first time it stopped at 80% and since the program I used was not registered, I couldn't resume (D'OHHH), second time it crashed at 80%, clicked resume in a different program and that must have been what made the install crash (as the people who downloaded it know, sorry guys), third time it quit at 80% and deleted it automatically (?), fourth time I ran out of space at the spare SG server (D'OHHH again), fifth time I uploaded the version with Xavier's faces to UKSN (and it went in in one go too!), sixth time I split it into tiny files and it just didn't work for Drinky, seventh time it just didn't work for Drinky again. The eigth time Drinky suggested putting the one big file into one big .ZIP, which didn't make any difference to the size, but in the words of Drinky, ".ZIPs are practically indestructible" - Well I knew one big file would be no good so I uploaded all the little files again, but .ZIP'd like Drinky said, and bingo, it worked - Well I'd like to lie and said I thought "woo-hoo!" but I actually thought "thank god, can I get some sleep now"...
Why are the rosters in a mess? Well as far as I can tell it's just on Drinky's PC - I told you all not to edit it though, it's perfect as it is
If ANY of you have any roster problems like Drinky, or if ANY of you have PotD and have no problems roster-wise, please reply whatever way, we want it to be perfect
At least by the 2000\2001 season update anyway
Also, just leave any questions, comments, problems, whatever, after this message please
Thanks very much everyone, I hope it's as good as you hoped and I once again apologise VERY VERY much for those who downloaded the corrupt version - It was fine here, just my modem is bad - My excuse is Drinky should have tested it before giving out the URL
See you later!
