| Sun 14 Mar 2004 | After a struggle a new feature of the website is introduced. Users can now confirm their invitation to the meal online. Other small problems discovered since release have been removed (users can now put apostrophes in their details). |
| Wed 3 Mar 2004 | After months of neglect a completely new, database driven website is released, albeit in a hurry. The PHP and MySQL powered website is designed with current standards in mind. The entire site is HTML 4.01 compliant, giving almost identical displays in all major browsers, a feature disregarded in the earlier versions. Ambitions are that the login facilities of the website will mean that users can book their meals over the webpages, deciding on what they want without a need for a letter. Money, time and effort all saved. Future projects are for a chat forum where topics can be started, discussed and then allow people to rip the piss of each other's comments. |
| Wed 25 Jun 2003 | The third incarnation of the website goes online. A backdrop of a player in kit has been added, the logo has been changed (but still looks abit shit), the banner across the top has been narrowed and there are now pictures online of the 1998 Varsity win over Hallam. |
