Easier team announcements

The proposed teams page puts WhatsApp first, shows who has notifications switched on and when the squad was told, and has a cleaner previous results table.

Junior photos protected

Under-18 profile photos are never shown anywhere on the site; members see a U18 badge instead.

Notification count on the app icon

The installed app now shows how many club notifications are waiting, and clears when you open it.

Tidier player photos

Player photos are now consistent round headshots everywhere on the website and app, and mobile match reports and proposed teams share one compact layout.

Buttons look the same everywhere

Buttons across the website and the app now share one clean navy outline style, with red for deleting and amber for undoing.

Never lose what you've typed

Forms now warn before you leave with unsaved changes, keep a copy of long text like news stories and messages in your browser, and stay logged in while you're typing.

Quick availability button everywhere

The round availability button in the bottom-left corner of the home page, on both the app and the website, shows your answer for the next match in colour and lets you change it in one tap.

Redesigned team selection page

The availability page selectors use on the website has a fresh look: match cards, colour-coded players, one-click filters and live counts of who's picked, so it's quicker to build a team.

Clearer events and fixtures in the app

The app's Events and Fixtures pages are now easy-to-scan cards grouped by month, showing your event answer, your match availability and whether you've been picked (including as a sub) at a glance.

Reply to events in one tap

Open any upcoming event on the website or the app and tell us straight away whether you can attend, might attend or can't make it.

Better emails for new members

New members are now guided to install the CKC app and turn on notifications from the moment they register, and welcome emails are clearer and easier to read.

New home page sidebar

The home page sidebar now shows every team's next fixture with your availability beside it, and a "Coming Up" list of the next two weeks' matches, training and socials, showing where you're picked and how you've responded.

Club Calendar

Members get a month-view calendar of matches, training, socials and tournaments, with their own team, availability and selections highlighted, and a download for their phone's calendar.

Club Calendar

Push notifications & installing the app

Add the site to your phone's home screen and choose which alerts you get, from new match results and team selection to fixture changes and live scores, and follow just your own team. Parents now get their child's alerts too.

App guide Notification Settings

Clearer team availability at a glance

Proposed Teams now breaks down who's Available, Maybe, Unavailable or Injured in colour-coded cards, and the availability filter and "Maybe" prompts are more specific throughout.

Proposed teams

Consistent fonts across desktop and mobile

Text now looks the same throughout each site: your phone uses its own clean font everywhere, and nothing is set too small to read comfortably.

Match Day Mode

On match day the home page takes you to a dedicated screen with the team sheet, directions, weather and a live pitchside score.

Mobile home

Arrival reminder on its own line

On the mobile proposed teams page, "Be there at least 30mins before" now appears on its own line under the venue and time.

Automatic team placement only uses current senior teams

When players are automatically placed in a team based on the matches they have played, only active senior teams are now considered, so nobody gets put back into a team that has stopped playing.

Bigger photos on desktop match reports

Team line-up and milestone photos on the desktop match report are now the same size as on proposed teams.

Broken images removed from mobile match reports

Two missing divider images that showed as broken-image icons on mobile match reports (under the photo counter and under the players) have been removed.

Clearer "Tell the squad" panel on team pages

Selectors now get one tidy panel per team on the proposed teams page, on the website and the app. WhatsApp is the main button, with Notify squad and an optional email underneath. It shows when the squad was notified, how many players were reached, and asks before notifying them again.

Committee badge on player photos

Committee members now have a small light-blue badge on their photo on their profile page and in the players list. On a computer, hover over it to see their committee role.

Compact pre-match notes

Pre-match notes on the proposed teams page now sit on a single line, with the note in italics followed by who wrote it and when, on the website and the app.

Injured shows purple on the Club Calendar

On the Club Calendar, days you are marked injured now show a purple badge with crutches, the same as everywhere else on the site, instead of red.

Less space at the top of mobile match reports

The large gap between the back button and the first match title on mobile match reports has been halved.

Long names cut off neatly on mobile

On mobile proposed teams and match reports, names longer than the photo now end in "..." slightly inside the photo's edges.

Long player names fit under photos in the app

On the app's proposed teams page, a first name too long to fit under the player's photo now ends in "..." instead of wrapping onto a second line.

Mobile match report scorers match proposed teams

On mobile match reports, scorers now look like the proposed teams page: photo with the first name and goals underneath on one line, e.g. "Sarah (3)". The MVP is still in bold.

Mobile proposed teams shows the next week only

The mobile proposed teams page now only lists matches in the next 7 days, instead of reaching 8 days ahead.

Mobile site blank for logged-in members fixed

After the under-18 photo change, the mobile site showed a blank page for anyone logged in. The header photo lookup has been fixed so pages load normally again.

New sign-ups show on availability

People who sign up through the app are now put in the club's lowest active senior team, and the website sign-up form suggests that team too, so new players appear on the availability page once approved.

Notifications bell lines up with the U18 badge

On proposed teams, the "notifications on" bell on squad photos now sits at the same height as the U18 badge.

Player photos look the same everywhere

Player photos across the site are now neat circles with the same thin white ring. No more stretched ovals, photos with blue lines only at the top and bottom, or squares in some places and circles in others. Sizes are tidied into a small set instead of fifteen different ones.

Pre-match notes heading removed

The "Pre-Match Notes" heading on the proposed teams page has gone; the notes themselves still show.

Pre-season team refresh on Proposed Teams

Before the first result of the season is in, opening Proposed Teams refreshes everyone's team, so returning players are moved out of the retired players team and show up for selection.

Restyled previous results on team pages

The previous results against the opposition on the proposed teams page are now a neat table with the predicted score at the top, coloured W/D/L for each match and a short link to the match report.

Returning members pointed to password reset

If someone tries to register with an email address whose account hasn't been used for over a year, they are told they may already have an account and given a link to reset their password instead.

Round photos on profiles, milestones and photo upload

The mobile profile page, the home page sidebar (Most Valued and Top Scorers), milestone stories on the home page and mobile news feed, and the photo upload preview now show round player photos like the rest of the site. Committee photos lose their blue ring and match everyone else.

SQL box always open on DB Admin

The admin database page now shows the SQL box straight away on every view, so the separate SQL tab has been removed.

Same win, draw and loss colours everywhere

Draws and losses on the results pages, match reports and monthly summary now use the same amber and red as the sidebar team form and previous results, so W, D and L look the same across the site.

See who has notifications on

Selectors can see a small bell on the photo of each picked player who will get the team announcement, and a count of how many in the squad have notifications switched on.

Separate warnings for women and men picked

On the availability page, each match now shows its own warning when fewer than 4 women are picked and another when fewer than 4 men are picked. The warnings update as you change selections.

Smaller photos on mobile match reports and proposed teams

On the mobile site, player photos on match reports and proposed teams are about half their previous size, so more of the team fits on screen.

Tidier DB Admin heading

The "Select a table" heading on the admin database page has gone; the table name only shows once a table is picked.

U18 badge no longer cut off on player profiles

On the player profile page, the U18 badge now sits slightly inside the large photo so the edge of the page no longer crops it.

Under-18 profile photos never shown

Profile photos of under-18s are now hidden everywhere on the desktop and mobile sites (profiles, availability, match reports, home page, stats, message board, newsletters) for every viewer. Logged-in members see a plain placeholder with a red U18 badge sitting over the top-left edge of the photo circle (website and app, every photo size, a little smaller on the app); visitors who are not logged in see a plain placeholder.

Unread notification count on the app icon

When the app is installed on your phone or computer, its icon shows how many club notifications are still in your notification tray (a dot on most Android phones). The count updates as you tap or dismiss them and clears when you open the app. On iPhone this needs the app added to your Home Screen.

Amber for undo actions

Unapprove and Unpublish buttons are now amber everywhere, matching Clear responses, so undo actions look different from red delete buttons.

Clearer install and notification prompts

The Install, Enable notifications and Later buttons on the app's install and notification banners are now white outlines, so they show up clearly on the navy banner.

Consistent buttons in the app

Buttons that finish a form in the app, such as Submit result, Submit report, Upload photos, Approve, Login, Register and Save changes, are now full-width navy outline buttons that are easy to tap.

Consistent buttons on the website

Form buttons on the website (Submit, Save, Update, Filter, Search, Login, Send and more) now all use the same navy outline style instead of a mix of grey, solid and rounded buttons.

Drafts kept for long text

News stories, message board posts, feedback, enquiries, player intentions and result notes are saved in your browser as you type. If the page is closed or the save doesn't go through, the form offers to restore your text next time.

Family page buttons

The family pages now have proper buttons: Remove links are red, and Add, Search, Save, Availability, Events and Edit contact use the standard style.

Fixture form keeps your choices

When editing a fixture with a wrongly typed time, the date, teams, venue, competition and season you picked are kept rather than reset.

Fresh look for venue pages

Venue pages now show a bigger photo alongside the address, the clubs that play there and your rough driving time, with Google Maps, Citymapper and venue website buttons grouped under Getting there.

Matching button sizes on the venue line

On the proposed teams page, the tick button for saving pre-match notes is now the same height as the Edit fixture button next to it.

Missing edit and delete buttons restored

The delete button on the venues list, the remove button for club associations on the venue edit page, and the edit and delete buttons on the survey runs page are back, using the standard icon buttons.

News story kept when a save fails

When adding or editing news, a missing headline or bad date no longer empties the story box, and if the story can't be saved you're told instead of it silently disappearing.

Next Up label on the app home strip

The card at the top of the app home page now says "Next Up" for both matches and events.

Next match and reffing at the top of the app

The strip at the top of the app home page now shows the club's next match or your next reffing duty when it comes before the next event, with the teams, venue and a countdown. It shows "In progress" for the hour of the match.

No strike-through on Your availabilities

On the Your availabilities page, dates you can't make (unavailable or injured) are no longer struck through; the row colour already shows your answer.

Player availability for dummy teams

On the proposed teams page, each dummy team now shows its players' availability for that date (Available, Maybe, No response, Unavailable, Injured), so selectors can see who's free. The "No players have been set" line also now names the right team.

Pre-match notes box on the venue line

On the proposed teams page the pre-match notes box now sits on the same line as the venue, time and ref, with the hint "Enter any pre-match notes here" and a tick button to save. Saved notes are listed underneath, and the Pre-Match Notes heading only shows when there are notes.

Previous teams box fixed

On the junior player form, the Previous Teams box no longer causes an error on every keypress and now stops cleanly at 255 characters.

Purple injured badge in the sidebar

In the desktop sidebar, matches where you've marked yourself injured now show a purple badge (as elsewhere on the site) in both Coming Up and Next Fixtures, instead of the red used for unavailable.

Stay logged in while typing

While you have unsaved changes the website keeps your login active, so a long write-up no longer fails with "Security Verification Failed" when you finally press Submit. If you have been logged out, a bar at the top tells you how to log back in without losing your text.

Tidier app header and next-up venue

The menu button and your profile picture now sit closer to the edges of the app header, and long venue names on the next match and event cards are shortened so they fit on one line.

Try Korfball! button over the page

The floating Try Korfball! button for visitors now sits inside the page content rather than out in the right-hand margin on wide screens, on both the desktop and mobile sites.

Venue links in Coming Up

In the Coming Up list on the home page sidebar, click a match or event's venue to open that venue's page.

Warning before leaving unsaved changes

If you've changed something on a form and try to leave the page without saving, your browser now asks whether you really want to leave. Pressing Submit twice on a slow connection no longer sends the form twice.

Your availability on the app's next match

The next match at the top of the app home page now shows your availability for that day as a coloured icon, the same as elsewhere on the site.

Your text shown on the security error page

If a form is ever rejected with "Security Verification Failed", the page now shows the text you sent with a Copy button, so nothing is lost.

Clearer Select Team button on proposed teams

On the proposed teams page the small plus button is now a labelled "Select Team" button, next to the "No players have been selected (yet)" line, so it's easier to find where to pick a team.

Colour-coded Your availabilities in the app

The app's Your availabilities page now uses the same colours as the website: each match row is tinted green, amber, red or purple by your answer. The answer dropdown shows just an icon (✓, ?, ✗ or crossed crutches for injured) so it fits on a phone, and shows the full wording when you open it. Dates no longer wrap onto two lines.

Installed app on a PC remembers desktop choice

If you have installed the club site as an app on a Windows or Mac computer, choosing "Full desktop site" is now remembered, so the app opens straight to the desktop site instead of asking mobile or desktop every time.

Less space above back links in the app

Removed the extra blank line above the back link (e.g. "← News") at the top of pages in the app.

Narrower Next Event label in the app

In the Next Event strip at the top of the app's home page, the label now reads "Next" above "Event", leaving more room for the event details.

Previous results hidden until a team is picked

On the proposed teams page, previous results and the score prediction only appear once players have been selected, so the page stays focused on availability until then.

Start times on Your availabilities

The Your availabilities page now shows each team playing with its start time (e.g. "Croydon 1 @ 14:00"), on desktop and mobile. On mobile the Teams Playing column has been widened, with narrower Date and Response columns.

Website stats by member

Admins can now filter the website analytics page to a single member using a dropdown, ordered either by how much each member uses the site or alphabetically by surname. The "Most active members" chart also now works correctly when "Exclude my activity" is ticked.

Availability button shows your answer

In the app, the round availability button on the home page now shows your answer for the next match in the usual colours and symbols: green ✓ available, amber ~ maybe, red ✗ not available, purple ✗ injured. It stays grey with the calendar icon if you haven't answered yet.

Bolder add button in the app

The + on the app's add button is now bold, to match the availability button.

Bolder add button on the website

The + on the website's add-content button is now bold, matching the availability button.

Centred icons on the round buttons

The + and × on the add-content button, and the calendar and crutches on the availability button, now sit exactly in the middle of the button.

Clearer update times on availability

The Updated column on the availability page now reads "5 days", "6 hrs" or "3 mins" instead of "5d", and shows "Just now" for very recent changes.

Colour-coded Player Availabilities

On the website's Player Availabilities page each match is now coloured by your answer (green can play, amber maybe, red can't play, purple injured, grey no reply), dates you can't make are struck through, and the club totals show as green ✓ and red ✗ badges.

Crutches for injured everywhere

Injured now shows as two crossed crutches instead of ✗ everywhere your availability appears: the Club Calendar, Coming Up and Next Fixtures on the website, the fixtures list in the app, and the Injured option on the availability button.

Crutches for injured on the availability button

When your answer for the next match is Injured, the round availability button now shows two crossed crutches instead of ✗, in both the app and the website.

Divider between teams on Proposed teams

The bar that separates each team on the Proposed teams page was missing and is back again.

Dummy teams marked on availability

On the availability page, the heading of any team not playing that day now says "(dummy)" after the team name.

No result notifications for old matches

Correcting the result of a match from more than a week ago no longer sends everyone a "new result" notification. Notifications are only sent for recent results.

Quick availability button on the website

The website's home page now has the same round availability button as the app, in the bottom-left corner. It shows your answer for the next match (green ✓, amber ~, red ✗, purple ✗ injured, grey if you haven't replied) and one click lets you change it.

Redesigned availability page

On desktop, the availability page for a match date now shows each match as a card with live counts of men, women and subs picked, warning in amber when fewer than 4 of either are picked. Players are colour-coded by their answer, tiles at the top show how many are available, maybe, unavailable, injured or haven't replied and filter the list in one click, and the save button stays at the bottom of the screen with a count of unsaved changes. Dummy teams are marked "(dummy)" in the team dropdowns. Saving while a filter is on no longer loses picks for players the filter was hiding, and the page loads faster.

Round response icon on Next Event

In the app, your response icon in the Next Event strip at the top of the home page is round again instead of slightly oval.

Tidier Next Event strip in the app

On the app's home page, "Next Event" now sits in its own column on the left, with the event details beside it on two lines: the event type and name on the first, and the venue, time until it starts and your answer badge on the second.

Tidier Recent Teams page

The Recent Teams page now groups players under team headings, shows games as coloured badges (solid blue for played, outlined for dummy), adds a "played out of the last 8" count per player and a key, applies the filters as soon as you change them, scrolls sideways on small screens and loads faster.

Wider Updated column on availability

On desktop, the Updated column on the availability page is now twice as wide, so "by" names fit without wrapping.

"Can you attend?" on event pages

Upcoming event pages on the desktop site and the mobile app now have three buttons (I can attend, Maybe, Can't attend), with your current answer highlighted. You no longer need to go to the events list to respond. On the desktop site the attendee list updates straight away. The mobile event page now also shows how many people are attending, might attend and can't attend.

Back to My family from a child's availability

When you are managing a child's availability or event responses, the "Managing …" banner now includes a link back to My family. On the mobile app this link was broken and now works.

My family

Being picked as a sub now shows everywhere

If you've been picked as a sub, the Club Calendar (desktop and app), the "Coming Up" list on the home page and your calendar download now highlight that match as selected, just as they do when you're picked to play.

New-look Events page in the app

The app's Events page, now titled "Events - Next 3 Months", shows events starting in the next three months as cards grouped by month instead of a large table. Each card has a date block, the event type at the top, the name, times and venue, and your answer on the right using the same badges as the desktop sidebar: green tick, amber ~, red cross or grey ? if you haven't answered. Events committee members get Add Event in the top-right corner and Edit and Delete on each card.

New-look Fixtures page in the app

The app's Fixtures page now shows senior and junior fixtures as cards grouped by month, titled Home v Away with the time, competition and venue. Players see their availability badge for each match date and an amber star when they've been picked to play or sub, and tapping a fixture opens your availability for that date. Dates that aren't on a Sunday are shown in red, and Add to Calendar is now a calendar icon on each card.

Next event on the app home page

The Next Up strip on the app's home page now reads "Next Event:" followed by the event type, the event name, the venue, the time until it starts and, at the end, your answer badge (tick, ~, cross, or ? if you haven't answered). It now shows the next upcoming event whatever your answer, including events you've said you can't attend.

Your event answer now shows in the app

In the app, the event button you chose (I can attend, Maybe or Can't attend) now fills with its colour, as on the desktop site, including when you open the event again later.

"Are you sure?" prompts work again

Delete, unapprove and other buttons that should ask "Are you sure?" first were going straight ahead without asking. They now ask before doing anything.

Availability reminders in Next Fixtures

The separate "Your Status" box has gone. Its reminders now appear in each fixture card: "Set your availability" when you have not answered, and "Set N days ago, still right?" when your answer is more than 10 days old (red after 20 days). This covers every upcoming date, not just the next one.

Clearer welcome email

The welcome email sent on approval now sets out your login details clearly, with app install steps and links to change your password and set up notifications.

Clickable Next Fixtures cards

Clicking anywhere on a Next Fixtures card in the home sidebar now opens the proposed team for that match, not just the team name.

Proposed Teams

Colour-coded Add content menu on mobile

Options in the mobile Add content menu now have a coloured edge matching the desktop news feed: brown for news and newsletters, teal for events and event photos, and navy for match results, reports and photos.

Colour-coded quick availability on mobile

The quick availability options on the mobile home page now use the same colours as the desktop site: green for Available, amber for Maybe, red for Not Available and purple for Injured, with your current choice filled in.

Coming Up for visitors

Visitors who are not logged in now see Coming Up above Recent Form on the home page, without the personal badges.

Correct "updated by" on mobile availability when impersonating

When an admin is logged in as another player and changes availability or team selections on the mobile availability page, the change is now recorded against the admin, matching the desktop page.

Deleting players fixed

Deleting a player from the Players list no longer fails with an error. Players with subs payments or archived stats are now treated as having activity, so the delete button isn't shown for them.

Players

Edit button on player profiles

Members who manage players now see an Edit button on other players' profile pages, the same as the one on the Players list.

Players

Emails no longer arrive as one long paragraph

Registration, welcome and new-profile emails now keep their line breaks, and links in them can be clicked. The new-profile email to committee members no longer carries an out-of-date reminder to email a password.

Event moved up the Add content menu

In the Add content menu, Event now sits directly below News story.

Green now means you are picked

In the Club Calendar and the home sidebar, matches are now shown in slate and only turn green when you have been selected to play.

Club Calendar

Hiding a member's details from specific players

When a member has asked for their details to be hidden from particular players, their phone number is now also hidden from those players on the availability pages (desktop and mobile) and in event attendee lists, not just on their profile and the contacts list. The member, and Admins, can see who their details are hidden from on their profile page. An old, unused admin contacts page has been removed.

Home sidebar times on the 24-hour clock

Times in the home sidebar are shown as HH:MM (for example 14:00, 20:00 – 22:00).

Home sidebar: Coming Up

Next Events is replaced by "Coming Up": the next two weeks of matches and club events together, a card per item under each day, showing the time, competition and venue. Matches you are picked for are green with a star, and small badges show your availability for each match and your response (accepted, tentative, declined or not yet answered) for each event.

Home sidebar: new Next Fixtures

Next Fixtures now lists every active senior team rather than a fixed four, each as a card showing the opponent, date, time and venue. A badge shows your availability for that date and links to change it, and the card turns green when you are picked.

Mobile match report and result entry fixed

The mobile match report no longer crashes for logged-in members when showing milestones, and the mobile result entry page no longer crashes when loading the list of players.

Old home sidebar code removed

Now that everyone has the new home sidebar, the code for the old Next Fixtures tables, the "Your Status" box and the old Next Events list has been removed. Nothing changes on screen.

React to more kinds of story

You can now like, love or fire monthly and end-of-season round-ups, goal milestones, polls and new players joining, on the home page, the News Reel and the mobile feed.

News Reel

Registration email helps you get the app

After registering, new members get an email explaining how to add the CKC app to their iPhone or Android home screen while they wait for approval, and how to turn on notifications once they can log in.

Stronger passwords and a safer Email Member page

New and reset passwords are generated more securely and avoid look-alike characters such as 0 and o. The admin Email Member page has been tightened so it can only be used from the page itself.

Tidier mobile menu

The mobile menu now lists Match availability straight after Teams for next matches, with a green tick or red cross showing your answer for the next match, as on the desktop site. Goals has moved below Submit Result and Club Calendar now sits under Events. The quick availability panel says "Next Matches" when more than one team plays that day. Submit Result shows how many results are still to be entered, and disappears when there are none. A star next to Teams for next matches shows when you've been selected.

Admin: tidier push notifications list

The list of players with push notifications enabled is now a proper table in the standard site style, showing player, team, number of devices and when they first enabled notifications.

Players with notifications

Calendar downloads match each other

Fixture downloads, single-match "Add to calendar" and the Club Calendar download now create identical match entries: home team first (e.g. "Mitcham v Croydon 3"), 30 minutes before and after the match for arrival and warm-down, the start time in the notes, and the full venue address. Importing more than one no longer creates duplicate matches. Events use their venue's address, or the event's own location if it has no venue.

Fixtures

Club Calendar

A new members-only Club Calendar (Members' Zone, and in the mobile menu) shows matches, training, junior sessions, socials, tournaments and other club events on a month grid. Your team's matches stand out, a star marks matches you are selected for, and each match day shows your availability, which you can change straight from the day's details. Filter by type or just your team, and parents can switch to view and set availability for their children. Download the month or the rest of the season as a calendar file.

Club Calendar

Event times always saved as HH:MM

Start and end times on events (desktop, mobile and bulk add) are now always stored as HH:MM, e.g. 09:30. Times typed as 9:30, 19.45 or 1130 are tidied up automatically, and impossible times like 25:00 are rejected with a clear message instead of being quietly dropped.

Home page sidebar tidy-up

Dates in the Next Fixtures and reffing lists on the home page no longer wrap onto two lines, and the W/D/L results in the team form box are coloured green, amber and red again.

Mobile: clearer availability button

The quick availability button on mobile now shows a calendar with a tick instead of an exclamation mark, and it matches the + button next to it (the white ring around both has gone).

Ref assignment notifications

Refs now get a push notification as soon as they are given a reffing commitment, when its date, time, venue, teams or type change, and when they are taken off it (moving a commitment to someone else tells both refs). The weekly "You're reffing this week" reminder still comes too. The setting is now called "Ref assignments".

Reffing

Registration: mobile number and postcode checks

New registrations (mobile and desktop) must give an 11-digit UK mobile number starting 07 (spaces and +44 are tidied up automatically) and a real UK postcode, which is checked against the postcode database and saved in the standard format.

Registration: one email address per member

New registrations can no longer use an email address that another member already has; Gmail users are offered their @googlemail.com address instead, which arrives in the same inbox. The desktop registration form also keeps everything you typed if there's a problem, instead of clearing it.

Single-match "Add to calendar" working again

The "Add to calendar" button on individual fixtures had stopped working and now downloads the match correctly again.

Fixtures

Desktop: Mobile/Desktop switch centred in the header

On the desktop site the Mobile/Desktop switch now sits level with the middle of the header, next to your picture and name. When logged out it sits on the same line as Login or Register.

Mobile: tidier header

The Mobile/Desktop switch in the mobile header is slightly smaller and narrower, and the Croydon Korfball Club title is a little smaller, leaving more room in the top bar.

App guide lists the new notification types

The app guide now describes the new club news and availability change notifications, and only shows the selector-only one to people who can pick teams.

App guide

Choose which team's notifications you get

A new option on Notification Settings lets you follow all teams (the default) or just one, for live scores, results, kick-off reminders and fixture changes. If you are picked for a team you always hear about it, whichever team you follow.

Notification Settings

Fixed: team update notifications ignored their setting

Notifications sent when a selection changes after a team is posted did not respect the Team selection announcements setting. Switching that off now stops both.

Notification Settings

Mobile: a Notifications page

The notification settings now have their own page on mobile, reached from a new Notifications button under Upload photo on your profile. It also shows whether push notifications are switched on for the device you are using, and lets you switch them on from there.

Mobile notifications

Notification settings can only be saved from the site itself

Saving notification settings now requires a proper form submission with its security token; previously a crafted link could change your preferences without one.

Notification Settings

Notification settings grouped and restyled

Notification settings are now split into Match related and Miscellaneous sections (milestones sit under Match related), with a clearer layout and larger tap targets on both desktop and mobile.

Notification Settings

Optional notifications for new club news

You can now choose to be notified when a new news story is posted. It is switched off by default, so nobody gets extra alerts unless they turn it on.

Notification Settings

Parents get their child's notifications

Parents linked to a child on the Families page now also receive that child's personal alerts: team selection and changes, fixture changes and cancellations, availability reminders and new milestones. Each message names the child.

My family

Selectors: alerts when a picked player changes their availability

Anyone who can pick teams is now told when a player already selected for a team's next match changes or clears their availability, with a link to reselect. It is only sent for the next fixture, never for a first-time answer, and not to the person who made the change.

Proposed teams

Admins can add a child to a parent

The Families admin page now has an "Add a child" form: pick a parent, search for an Active U18 player, and link them — the same eligibility checks as the parent self-service flow apply.

Families

Match times always shown and entered as HH:MM

Kick-off times such as "11.30" now display as "11:30" everywhere (home sidebar, fixtures, availability, proposed teams, match day, mobile). Adding or editing a fixture now requires a valid 24-hour HH:MM time, and times like 20:00 are no longer wrongly rejected. This also fixes result submission not opening for fixtures saved with a dotted time.

Fixtures

Removed "(message Anna)" from Maybe availability

The "(message Anna)" prompt that appeared next to a Maybe response on the desktop availability pages, and in the mobile quick-availability picker, has been removed.

Availabilities

Approve & Send Password on desktop player profiles

Admins can now approve a pending player registration and send them their welcome email with a password directly from the desktop player profile page, next to Delete — matching the mobile approvals screen.

Players

Availability button no longer overlaps content on mobile

The quick-availability button now floats above the page instead of pushing content to the right, and the "playing elsewhere" option has been removed from its menu.

Availability button now matches the + button style

The mobile quick-availability button is now a plain blue circle with a white "!" instead of changing colour by status, matching the look of the + add-content button.

Availability button only shows on the mobile front page

The quick-availability button previously appeared on every mobile page; it now only shows on the mobile site's front page.

Availability date column no longer wraps

The Date column on the availabilities page is wider so match dates always display on a single line.

Availabilities

FTP deploy lists made session-safe

Behind-the-scenes deploy tooling used when shipping changes to the live site no longer relies on a shared file to track which parallel change-set is active, and deploy-queue files can no longer end up committed to the code repository by mistake.

Fixed: "Maybe" responses dropped from team selection

After the availability options changed, players who replied "Maybe" had stopped appearing in Can Play counts and team-selection lists, and tapping Maybe or Injured in the mobile quick-availability button failed with an error. Both are fixed.

Fixed: availability button was see-through and square

A shared mobile button style was overriding the quick-availability button's colour and shape; it's now a solid, round blue button as intended.

Fixed: mobile approval button too narrow

The "Approve & Send Password" button on the mobile player approvals screen no longer truncates on narrow phones; approval and delete buttons now stack full-width.

Player approvals

Fixed: profile notification dot stuck on after you'd already responded

The red notification dot on your profile picture was checking your availability against every match scheduled for the rest of the season, so it stayed lit even once you'd responded to the next one coming up. It now only checks the next match day, matching the quick-availability button.

My profile

Injured and Maybe shown on your desktop status panel

Your Status in the sidebar now shows Injured and Maybe distinctly, alongside Available and Unavailable.

Mobile fixtures show kick-off time and venue in one line

Fixtures for the next 3 months on mobile now read as "Home team vs Away team at time at venue", with the home side listed first.

Player registration team list: active only, alphabetical

The CKC Team dropdown on the player registration/edit form now only lists active teams, sorted alphabetically, and defaults to the last team alphabetically instead of a fixed team.

Submit profile

Quick-availability button lists every match and highlights yours

When more than one team plays the same day, the mobile quick-availability button now lists each match as "Home team vs Away team at time at venue" and highlights the one your team is playing in.

Mobile home

Removed the "new" badge from the players list

The small "new" icon next to recently-added players on the players list has been removed.

Players

Share button on news stories

A Share button next to Delete on news stories copies a link to the story to your clipboard, so it's easy to paste into WhatsApp, email, or anywhere else.

News

Year of birth checked on new player registrations

Registering a new player profile now requires a year of birth of 1950 or later, on both mobile and desktop registration forms.

Admin alert when someone enables notifications

The site admin now gets a push notification whenever a member turns on notifications on a new device, showing who it was, and links to the list of players with notifications enabled.

Push notifications enabled

Club names link to their teams

On the Clubs page, each club name is now a link that opens the Teams page filtered to that club.

Clubs

Consistent bold and semibold text

Font weights are now limited to regular, semibold and bold, so headings and labels match between pages.

Contacts pages: members-only footer

The desktop and mobile contact details pages now end with a note that the details are only available to logged in members and that juniors' details are restricted.

Contact Details

Extra protection on team management and push test forms

The Teams page forms and the admin push notification test button now carry their own security check, so they can only be submitted from the site itself.

Match report: clearer final score

There is now a gap between the photo carousel and the final score on match reports, and "Final Score" is shown in bold.

Menu, sidebar and search font fixed

These now use the site font on every device instead of a font that only some computers have installed.

Minimum text size of 12px

Text that was set below 12px (footers, badges, tile labels and reaction counts) is now 12px, and all other text snaps to a shared set of sizes on desktop and mobile.

Mobile: fixed fallback serif font

Parts of the mobile site could show the browser's default serif font wherever nothing set a font. Everything now uses the site font, and an automated check stops the problem coming back.

Mobile: one font throughout

Tables, form fields and buttons on the mobile site now use the same font as the rest of the page instead of a different one.

News feed: varied new joiner wording

New player stories in the news feed now use a range of welcome messages instead of always saying "joins the CKC ranks".

Notification settings: bigger enable button

The "Enable push notifications on this device" button on the notification settings page is now larger and easier to tap.

Reactions: no zero counts

Reaction buttons no longer show a 0 when nobody has chosen that reaction yet.

Security dashboard shows issues only by default

The security dashboard now hides categories, counts and upload rows with nothing to report, so admins see only real issues. An Issues only toggle in the filter bar switches back to the full view.

Security dashboard

Site font on venue coordinates, stock image paths and story bylines

Venue coordinates and stock image file paths were shown in a monospace font; they now use the site font, as does the "Story by" line on news stories.

Stylesheet caching safeguard

The profile photo upload page now always loads the latest button styles, and an automated check stops any page from linking an unversioned stylesheet.

Teams link in the Members' Zone menu

People with the Clubs role now get a Teams link in the Members' Zone menu, alongside their other role links.

Teams

Training page: Squad Training and summer times

The Wednesday development session is now called Squad Training and runs 8:15–9:45pm. Summer training now shows separate junior (7–8pm) and senior (8–9pm) Thursday times and the St David's School postcode.

Training

Admin: count of players with push notifications

Admins now see how many active players have enabled push notifications on the notification settings page, with a link to the list of those players. The count is also shown on the mobile profile page.

Players with notifications

Fixture change & cancellation alerts

When a fixture's date, time or venue changes, or it is cancelled, the players affected get a push notification straight away.

Get the CKC app guide

A step-by-step guide for members explaining how to add the site to your phone's home screen (iPhone and Android), turn on notifications, and choose which ones you receive. It uses boxed steps with a clear iPhone/Android choice and is linked from your notification settings and the iPhone install banner.

App guide

Live score & kick-off push notifications

Kick-off, live score updates (throttled to one a minute so your phone is not flooded) and final results are now pushed to all active members who have those notifications on. Live score alerts only go out on the day of the match.

Push notifications only attempted for opted-in players

Bulk notification sends now skip anyone without notifications enabled or a subscribed device, and result pushes no longer hold up saving the result itself.

Simpler notification settings

Team selection and team change messages are now controlled by a single "Team selection announcements" setting, the settings are listed in a more useful order, and "Pending player approvals" is marked as restricted and only listed in the app guide for people who receive it.

Notification Settings

Team selection alerts

A push notification is sent whenever a team is posted, and again if the selection changes afterwards, telling players who has been added or dropped.

Admin push notification test tool

An admin-only page to send a test push notification to yourself, for verifying push delivery is working.

Fixed push notifications failing entirely

Push notifications (new player profiles, match results) had been failing with a fatal error since 17 September because a required HTTP client library was missing from the server. Restored.

Fixed missing push notifications from the desktop site

Admins were not getting a push notification when a new player profile was submitted on desktop (only the mobile app was wired up), and match result notifications had the same gap in reverse. Both now fire from either platform.

Players

Consistent browser tab title

The home page now shows the same browser tab title as the rest of the site instead of a shorter, inconsistent one.

Home

News story image links from anywhere

The admin "Image Location" field on the news story editor now accepts full image URLs from any site, and the redundant "(currently=...)" label next to the document upload field was removed.

Manage news

Code of Conduct updated

The Code of Conduct page now matches the club's current policy, including new rules on WhatsApp contact misuse and behaviour towards members of the public, plus a subs-payment clause.

Code of Conduct

Clearer forgot-password form

On mobile, the email field on the forgot-password page now has a label and more space above the "Send Email" button, so it is no longer mistaken for part of the button.

Forgot password

Daily digest & match-starting alerts

A daily digest of anything needing your attention and a notification when your match is about to start.

Install prompt for the home screen

A soft banner invites you to install the site as an app, with step-by-step instructions on iPhone.

Live score commentary

When updating the unofficial pitchside score on Match Day Mode you can add a brief optional note about what happened. Every update and its note is recorded, a blank match report now starts prefilled with that timeline, and the result-submit form defaults the score to the last live score entered.

Home

Match Day Mode

On the day of your match, you're redirected from the home page (once per day, dismissible) into a dedicated screen with the team sheet, venue directions, opponent head-to-head record, a live weather forecast, an unofficial pitchside score that any logged-in supporter can update, and a link to write the match report once the game's over. Works on desktop and mobile.

Home

Match Day timezone & news editor fixes

Live score and weather timestamps now use London time consistently, and the news editors on desktop and mobile no longer break when saving with an attachment.

Mobile goals: Season filter

The mobile goals page has a Season dropdown, defaulting to the current season.

Goals

Mobile news feed preview length

Story previews on the mobile news feed were being cut off a touch early; they now show a little more text.

Mobile news

Mobile profile polish

The admin-only "Families" button was removed from the mobile profile (parents still see "My family"), the pending-approval push now only goes to users with the Players role, the badge setting is labelled "New milestones", and the stacked profile buttons line up at a consistent width.

Your profile

Notification preferences per category

Choose which categories of push notification you want. Settings show as a clean two-column list (setting / on-off), a version is on your mobile profile page, and the site quietly keeps your device subscribed and prompts you to enable notifications if you have not yet.

Notification Settings

Push notifications

Get push notifications for the things that used to only show as a dot on your profile picture: new badges, awards voting, ref assignments, pending approvals and stale availability, plus match alerts for team selection, kick-off and results. Tapping a notification takes you straight to the right page.

Notification Settings

Document attachments on mobile news

Attach a PDF or Office document to a news story directly from your phone — same as desktop. Stories with an attachment now show a paperclip in the feed, and the attachment itself is a proper icon button on the story page.

Mobile news

Install CKC to your home screen

The site can now be added to your phone's home screen with the CKC icon and opens straight into the mobile site like an app.

Mobile goals chart & breakdowns

The mobile goals Total view now has a stacked scoring chart, and you can filter by Sex and switch between four breakdown views.

Goals

Mobile profile photo upload

Upload or replace your profile photo directly from your phone — choose a photo and it's automatically cropped to a square, no dragging required.

Mobile profile

Safer delete buttons

Deleting a profile photo or news attachment now requires a protected form submission rather than a plain link, so it cannot be triggered by accident or from another site.

New Player stories back on mobile

"X joins CKC" stories had stopped appearing in the mobile news feed; they're restored and now match the desktop version, with body text and a Croydon/age footer.

Mobile news

Clearer labels

The home sidebar block is now called "Recent Form", the Dev Training event type is shown as "Squad Training", and the events list Type column is centred.

Club venues page improvements

The venues page can be filtered to the CKC competition's clubs, values in the Type column are centred, the delete icon is fixed, and duplicate opposition venues are no longer offered when adding fixtures.

Manage Teams page

The Teams admin page now groups teams by competition, with Group-by and Show Inactive filters, per-group counts, and an inline button to toggle a team active or inactive. Also fixes a bug that made adding or editing a team fail.

Teams

Season setup auto-suggestions

Adding a new season now suggests the next season name and awards date automatically, and the current-season radio is locked on past seasons so it can't be reassigned by accident.

Better event listings in Google

Event pages now always include their location in the data search engines read, so events show more completely in search results.

Fixed player stats for archived players

Player profiles now show real win rate, favourite competition and appearance figures for archived seasons where the data supports it, with an honest explanation instead of a misleading 0%, N/A, or missing row.

Players

Newsletter & event photos in create menu

The + create menu on home now offers Newsletter (for News-role users) and an Event photos option for recently started events, alongside the existing news, events and reports options.

Home

Create menu on home feed

Logged-in volunteers see a + button on the home feed to add news, events, match results, match reports, or photos — options depend on your permissions.

Team Form on home sidebar

The desktop home page sidebar now shows recent form for each senior team — the last five results as W/D/L badges plus the most recent score and opponent. Visible to everyone, including guests.

Home

Monthly newsletters

News editors can produce branded monthly club reports from a dedicated editor. Write headline sections with photos and layout options; upcoming fixtures and last month's highlights (matches, team of the month, player of the month, and milestones) fill in automatically. Save drafts, preview in the browser, publish to a public archive, download a PDF, and optionally post a summary story to the news feed. A monthly draft is created automatically for editors to pick up.

Next Up countdown on mobile home

Logged-in mobile users now see a slim banner at the top of the home feed showing their soonest upcoming match, event or reffing duty, with a live countdown and colour-coded type label.

Training times are now shown in styled cards for Senior, Juniors, Development and Summer sessions — each with time, venue and a map link. Royal Russell School has an embedded Google Map, and a clear "first session free" contact button.

Stats breakdowns open as full pages

Scoring breakdowns, a player's goals-by-match, and head-to-head records used to open in small pop-up windows. They are now normal pages with the site menu and breadcrumbs, so you can read them in place and click the breadcrumb trail to step back to results, goals or fixtures.

If you have the Players role, pending registrations now show as an action banner on your mobile profile. Tap Review to see submitted details and approve new members; Admins can also delete spam registrations or send the welcome email with a password from the same screen.

Better match report writing

Writing a match report is easier on phone and desktop: the text box grows as you type, shows a live word count, recovers an unsaved draft if you navigate away, and a "Start me off" button drops in the score, top scorer and player of the match so you are not staring at a blank page.

Match reports

Clearer ways to join

The join page now has hero and closing call-to-action buttons plus a sticky "Try free" pill that appears as you scroll — all linking to the enquiry form with Join pre-selected. Inline email address images are replaced with enquiry links; juniors enquiries can prefill a message hint from the URL.

Join Enquiry form

Committee page card layout

The committee page now shows each role in a photo-first card grid with circular profile pictures, position badges, and the same contact details as before.

Filters apply as you click

Stats, fixtures, events and teams pages now apply filters the moment you pick an option — no more "Apply" button. Short choices like Sex, Home/Away and sort order are one-tap buttons, while longer lists stay as dropdowns that update instantly. Filtered views are also shareable and bookmarkable via the page address.

Mobile match reports & photos

Logged-in members can write the headline and match report write-up from the mobile site, and bulk-upload action photos with server-side cropping — the same permissions and one-week window as desktop. “Add match report” and “Upload Photos” buttons appear on the mobile news feed and match report page.

News page redesign

The News Reel is now an easy-to-scan card listing instead of a table, making it nicer to browse back through past stories.

Players list team tabs

The players list groups members by team using the same tab pattern as results — one tab per active squad, plus a Vets tab for logged-in members. Profile photos are larger (60px headshots) and easier to scan.

Players

Results & fixtures polish

The results page uses team tabs and colour-coded scores (green for a win, amber for a draw, red for a loss). Past fixtures on the fixtures page are greyed out so upcoming matches stand out.

Results Fixtures

Search engine improvements

Each page now has its own title, description and social preview image, with structured data and a fuller sitemap to help the club appear better in Google and when links are shared.

Story-type labels on feeds

Match, Event and News pills on home and mobile feed tiles make it easier to tell story types apart at a glance. Generated feed items (monthly round-ups, milestones) now show a News label where appropriate.

Home Mobile home

Submit news & events on mobile

If you have the News or Events role (committee members included), you can add, edit and delete news stories and events from the mobile news feed and events list — headline, type, dates, body and photo upload. The same roles can delete on desktop too.

Mobile registration

New members can now register from the mobile site with a streamlined form (name, email, postcode, mobile number and year of birth). Mobile number and year of birth are now required when creating or editing a profile.

Removed legacy third-party tracking

Stripped out an old Facebook advertising/tracking pixel that was still embedded on the home, join, about, training, and rules pages, and switched the About page YouTube video to privacy-enhanced mode so it only sets cookies if you choose to play it. The site no longer uses advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Cookie policy

Stronger login persistence

Staying logged in now uses a random per-device token instead of storing a password fingerprint in your browser. Existing logins keep working without signing in again.

Login

Wider desktop layout (1200px)

The desktop site layout expands from 900px to 1200px site-wide. Extra width goes mainly to the main content column—home news feed, tables, and article pages—while the home sidebar stays at 300px. The header, logo bar, and menu grow with the layout; menu items get slightly more padding. Typography and font sizes are unchanged; forms keep their existing max-widths for comfortable reading. Layout widths are driven by CSS custom properties in the design tokens so future tweaks stay in one place. Mobile layout is unaffected.

Home Fixtures

Breadcrumb navigation (desktop)

Desktop pages now show a pill-style breadcrumb trail below the header so you can see where you are and jump back to parent sections. Route-mapped trails cover top-level pages, admin tools, and nested sections; detail pages resolve real titles for events, players, match reports, and news. Non-clickable intermediate crumbs are hidden so only useful links and the current page show. Hidden on mobile.

Fixtures Events

Easier-to-read desktop text

Desktop pages now use 16px body text (up from 10pt) for better readability and accessibility. Mobile was already at 16px.

Screen reader accessibility improvements

Added ARIA landmark roles to all pages (banner, navigation, main content, footer). Screen reader users can now jump between page sections using landmark navigation shortcuts.

Site-wide search

A search icon in the desktop and mobile headers opens a quick-results dropdown as you type (debounced, top results per category). “See all results” opens a full search page with tabs for All, People, Matches, Events, News, and Pages—20 results per page with pagination. Members can search player names, nicknames, and related activity; guests get the same UI for matches, events, news, and pages (people results are omitted without calling attention to the restriction). Matches match on opposition, competition, and headline; events on name, headline, and location; news on headline; pages on title and curated keywords. Powered by MySQL FULLTEXT indexes for fast relevance-ranked results.

Search Home

Content reactions

The old single “like” on feed items is now three reactions—👍 Like, ❤️ Love, and 🔥 Fire—on news stories, match results, and club events. Logged-in members get a row of emoji chips with counts (including zero); tap your current reaction again to clear it, or tap another to switch (one reaction per person per item). The UI updates straight away and saves in the background; if save fails, your choice reverts with a short error message. Hover a chip or count to see handles of members who chose that emotion (up to 20 shown, with “and N more” when needed). Reaction bars appear on the desktop and mobile home feeds, full news articles, match reports, the results list, the news reel, and mobile match reports—moved out of the tiny meta line so they are easier to spot. Guests see read-only totals for emotions that have at least one reaction—no greyed-out buttons and no “log in to like” prompt; if nobody has reacted yet, the row stays hidden. Chips use accessible labels, pressed state, and keyboard support; mobile targets are sized for comfortable tapping.

Each earned badge shows when it was won (e.g. Sep-18); the next milestone appears greyed out to the right with a small progress bar underneath. A year-by-year milestone timeline groups badges under each calendar year. A red dot on your avatar appears when you have new milestones; viewing your own profile marks them as seen. Season report cards show the same next-badge preview for that season’s milestones.
