[/quote:24qioza7]On the NZIHL page! We have had an NZIHL page on the site since the beginning. It used to just have a bunch of info. about the league as I couldn’t be bothered updating it with news. But since it’s automated now I’ve started adding any posts about the NZIHL which were originally on the home page to it as well.
Awww, I thought I was special receiving that message <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="
” title=”Sad” />If anyone is intending to take photos at the master games, I would appreciate some photos to put here on the site. I’d particularly like something to put up as a featured news item on the home page.
Same goes for any other hockey too actually. If you have some pictures, a nice story or whatever else to go on the home page as a featured news item then let me know. Since it’s the off-season I haven’t had anything very news worthy to put up yet, but hopefully now that the season is gearing up for 2008 there will be a constant stream of news to put up there. Pictures are the most important thing I need though. I can usually cobbled together some sort of story out of tidbits of information, but photos are harder to make up <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="

Ryan,
Has anybody tried the email news notification feature yet?
I’ll add a news feature about it if it’s functioning okay for everyone. It seems to be working okay for me so far – although I have no use for it whatsoever since I’m the one posting them <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="
” title=”Tongue” />And I forgot about add the FaceBook instructions, I’ll try to remember to do that on the weekend.
I was about to say something in the following post, but figured it was a bit contentious so am sticking it here:
https://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/forum/htt … 7957#p7957I fielded a lot of amusing emails around Easton Cup time asking what the heck is going on and how they find out about what’s going on. And a bunch more when the Aardwolfs wanted to come here as the DIHA ignored them for months and then told them they couldn’t come.
I also field complaints from people demanding to know why their practice time has changed and why they weren’t told. Plus complaints about being ignored by the secretary, mainly emails never being replied to, or having to wait a month for a response.
I get some random requests on occasion too.
The most recent one was from a company called Grant Thornton[/url:rlsb6w1h], who want to use video footage from here in a promotional DVD for their company???? Apparently Sean Abe who plays in Auckland and is in one of my videos works for Grant Thornton.
I also get requests for team uniforms, merchandise, instructional DVD’s and copies of the program I made the website with (trying to explain that Notepad will do the job opens up a whole ‘nother can of worms!).
The funniest ones are usually when people ask why I don’t create another league, team or whatever other idea someone has. Some people seem quite surprised when I tell them that I don’t run the ENTIRE club
Apparently running the website makes people think that I do everything <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="” title=”Tongue” /> Unfortunately/fortunately I don’t have enough time for that."Kyle":21ood0br wrote:Yeah, if you got a blank screen, go find a bunch of codecs and install them.[/quote:21ood0br]For anyone who is having similar problems … http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Cod … l_in_1.htm

I can’t seem to get it to work. I just see a blank screen <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="
” title=”Sad” />It’s definitely doable. I’m saving for a trip to Israel right now so I won’t be available to play though. Dunedin has lots of good players so wouldn’t get totally outclassed either.
I’ve always been keen on organising games vs Christchurch in Timaru, but have never got round to organising one. There’s a really nice gymnasium there we can use with three basketball courts. I played in a game against the RedBacks there a few years ago and it was great. There’s no boards, but the gymnasium walls are usable, albeit it would have to be a fairly social game and you need to have some sort of rule to prevent injuries – perhaps first to the puck on the boards gets to keep it or something like that.
"Kyle":2b3ortlj wrote:What about the other emails on that page? Phil PJ didn’t seem to know much about his.Do they all forward? (except for the DIHL one, which, should probably change to Kara?)[/quote:2b3ortlj]
Yep, they all forward apart from the DIHL account. Graeme Sykes requested the email forwards in about April 2006. Phil Pielak-Jones was informed by email when it changed to his name circa early 2007 as were any other new committee appointees. Phil has received and replied to emails from me which I have sent via that address quite a few times now.
I assume the reason the Finnish guy never got a reply is because Joyce just doesn’t bother replying to emails. There was a brief period after I changed the site in which I accidentally deleted all of the forwarded email accounts. But it wasn’t for very long, so perhaps the email got sent then. Lots of people have complained about Joyce not replying to them though and not just via the @dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi address.
Ryan,
FYI, this is the information for Joyces DIHA email address:
secretary@dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi [b:2pkdmzwy]forwards to[/b:2pkdmzwy] joyceemiller@xtra.co.nz
My own webadmin@dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi is setup identical to Joyce’s and it functions perfectly.
"Kyle":2pkdmzwy wrote:Also, can you change my phone number on that page? to 472-8876.[/quote:2pkdmzwy]Done.
I got round to bumping the font up a notch. Although you’ve probably realised that already <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="
” title=”Tongue” />Thanks for the update. I assumed you wouldn’t mind, so I’ve borrowed your forum post almost verbatim for the news post … https://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/nzihl-team-trainings/
