Glad to see you're ringing the changes in terms of website format compared with your other league websites! :)

As they say, if it ain't broke don't mend it.

I am also a big fan of Stephen Connor's methodology! :D

I am planning to integrate all of the sites at some point. The numbers need to be worthwhile to justify the effort.

John - small question; sometimes the facebook match updates have teams, and sometimes not. Do you know why? I much prefer the former if it is a config setting.

Paul,

Thanks for mentioning. I had noticed this but hoped that the problem would "go away"!

It would appear that the Facebook sharer application is parsing the '&' character differently to how it used to and the string I was constructing was being truncated at the point an '&' was intercepted. I have rewritten the string generating function to strip out the '&' delimiter on the season parameter and all appears to be well for all affected leagues. :D
