Is there any way when you open the attachments that it opens in a new tab like the main sections do I have found that the home page disappears so you have to use the back arrow or reopen the site again. It's a small point but would make it easier to navigate.
I'm afraid that is a cross we have to bear as the pages are a mixture of a) website-controlled pages within the mainframe and b) Google Pages stored remotely. Remember that a couple of years ago the website crashed because the amount of information contained on the ordinary pages rendered them too unwieldy. I was advised at the time by BT's support team that I had to change my approach or the same thing would happen again. So I registered for Google Chrome/Drive and it's the best move I ever made as the old BT design wizard which I had used was being phased out and I couldn't get on at first with the new one. I finally bit the bullet and got to grips with the new Wizard over the Xmas period. Starting on Monday 28th I spent a 12-hour day designing Mid Sussex, 8 hours on Billingshurst and a total of 16 hours on Horsham which needed a complete rebuild after I decided to bin the first attempt. By late Thursday (31st) I was ready to press the 'publish' buttons on all three, but with some uncertainty as to whether the change on Mid Sussex from EasySite6 to Pro Plus would muck up the links to the other sites....fortunately it didn't. It was a bit unfair on Margo to cocoon myself thus for four whole days but she has shown remarkable forbearance.  The Websites are not perfect yet by any means, but most of the work is done. The joy of the Google pages is that I can perform the weekly update that you send me without the problem of having to re-format it each time and I don't even have to go into the BT website ! Some pages don't re-format very easily for website use, the one you spotted (Fixture List) being a perfect example. This I had to scan and put up as a 'jpg' which is barely readable on a laptop (unless you have strong reading glasses) but is fine on a tablet where you can expand it. |

Clive. my comment was in no way critical just feed back, I fully understand the difficulty you have faced and the many hours spent. Most People control just 1 website & not 3. All 3 contain everything you could ask for & will help me especially with Mid Sussex History as I'm lacking a lot of info for this League. |

No offence taken, Ian, sorry if I gave you that impression.
Going into such detail was not aimed personally but was simply to give a general feel for what is involved with websites.
We work together on administering both the Mid Sussex and Horsham sites and your regular input is invaluable (as is Tidy's for B'hurst).
Often it is the things which should be the simplest to sort out which cause the most aggro - I have spent many hours so far trying to resolve the images problem on Horsham and B'hurst, and know wherein the problem lies but have so far been unable to deliver the cure !
Recording my action log is partly for my own benefit, in case I finish up having to enlist the help of the IT backup team.

1,000 hits already, so assuming the new website is acceptable to all.  Keep the reports coming in on here, they help Ian with his weekly summary. |

It was good to see Gerry Smith again after a good many years, a real icon of MSBBL's past. Unfortunately he has become obliged to hang up his cue for good due to an eye condition. He has kindly lent me his book of Interleague scores covering the period Oct 1987 to April 1990, so these will shortly be added to the website.  Three years of Mid Sussex A Interleague records have now been added: 1987/88 1988/89 1989/90 Players' averages still to do. |

Website all up-to-date as far as is possible, many thanks to Ian G for providing reliable tables and player stats in a timely fashion. Will be having a few days away from the Forum, and hiding the laptop away to remove any temptation. So a very Merry Christmas from Margo and Tommo and a Happy New Year to everyone we know.........  |

Quote (note added to front page of Mid Sussex website): Yes, it's finally happened. I refused to give in to the extortion (I won't go into full detail but it started as a row over fees imposed for paying by cheque rather than direct debit) and BT have waved the big stick, not only removing my updating facilities but have completely withdrawn the domain www.mid-sussexbbl.co.uk.
A contingency plan has been in operation since 17/8/18 - in effect putting everything onto Google Sheets - and I have tested it out with my fellow web administrator Ian.
So if you get the following message appearing "Not Authorized to View This Page [CFN #0004]" use the following portal instead:
You should be able to browse as per usual using the new-look menu, and clicking on 'BACK' to return. (We agree it's not ideal as if you choose to surf it results in many tabs being open).
When the dust has settled I'll link it all up to a new domain, but it the meantime if you find any problems please let me know.

Not sure the results are accurate as you put it as they played in a different division so it’s harder to grasp the factual information but well done Ros not sure when we will have another inter league game |

Agree there are so many variables with H/A Interleague - who was given the break, how easy was the table etc - but still an achievement in my book.

Slight change to the "About Us" page. A link is now given (by the Map logo) to a new file showing all known tables in the UK.
And once in, the link to the corresponding AEBBA map can be found in the top left hand corner.

Whilst looking through some old newspaper archives on t'Internet I stumbled upon a great find which gives a window into the league around 1960.
Check out what I have added at the bottom of the "Bygone Days" webpage (1950s and below)

The first ever inter league c division was in 1978/9, and was won by Crawley C. It was mainly a team of young guns. At least 2 of the players still play in Mid Sussex, Alan Downes and the precossious young captain. The C league was instated by the defunct Portslade League where we encouraged an Under 21 league and players who would not normally get an inter league game. Portslade were runners up p,saying from the Crabtree in Lancing. The Portslade sqaud was Dave Jones, Keith Lynn, Chris Lucas, Nick Brown, Steve Thomas, Dave Whittaker, Barry Squires, Wayne Greenfield |

Steve Thomas - teammate of mine at the Victory in the early eighties. I remember him as a nice guy ...... we visited his other venue (Windmill Lit) one night and my car broke down with a faulty alternator. He chucked me his keys and said "take my car tonight and come back and sort yours out tomorrow". |
