Tell you what, how about I ask Simon to simply delete the site, as what ever I try and do will be wrong wrong wrong, that way the LUG won't have a site at all.On 16/06/2021 18:33, Simon Waters wrote:On Wednesday, 16 June 2021 17:37:32 BST Jon Davey via list wrote:Oh I didn't know there was a group on IRC. How do I find that ?....Paul updated the website https://www.dcglug.org.uk/moving-to-libera-chat-irc-network/Oh god I made a terrible mistake and out of curiousity I clicked the link and for the first time in many years beheld the DCGLUG website in all it's glory.I'm going to exercise some self-restraint and delete my original questions which were a bit... sarcastic and try and be polite instead.Ummm, is the site supposed to look like that? Has anyone ever looked at the page on a 4K/high-dpi screen before? Those wordpress trackers are supposed to be there right? The prominent links to Twitter and LinkedIn aren't ironic jokes or memes but are actually supposed to be there?I could go on. And on.Just to be clear I don't care what the site looks like: no skin off my nose. I'm also a sysadmin and not a webdesigner so hell no I'm not volunteering to fix it. I imagine it only gets about 3 hits a week anyway and it's not like it's important to me or presumably anybody else in any way.But does it have to be _that_ awful? I'm genuinely embarrassed for it. Even though I'm not a webdesigner if I was unfortunate enough to be responsible for it I'd immediately 503 the service and redo it by hand in vi in 5 minutes. The result wouldn't necessarily be any better but it would certainly be infinitely less bad: it wouldn't render incorrectly, have trackers on it or advertise a Microsoft product on the front page at least. When the bar has been set that low it's difficult to see how much worse it could possibly get...So, anyone got an explanation? Anyone want to defend it?
All you have done here is moan. I no longer have admin to the site, so all I can do is add pages and update, clearly that is not good enough for people is it.
I don't know how to remove the trackers, I don't know anything about the MS product being promoted, I just tried to find a fresh theme, with ZERO help.
People have been given admin before, done nothing with it. I no longer have admin btw so can't even change the theme.
Comments like this is WHY I am losing interest in computing and feel that i should NOT be encouraging anyone to study this subject as it is clearly elitist.
People need to appreciate when people are trying to do something or shut up.
I give up, sorry lug this group is clearly not for people like me or anyone else.
