Hello forum. A maintenance period is scheduled from September 11, 2012, Tuesday, 12:00 PM (Manila time), to September 14, 2012, Friday, 11:59 AM (Manila time). This period will be for the final adjustments to our new domain, updating some graphical elements on the website, cleaning up some of the forum sections, and addressing some immediate concerns you have posted on the Major Revamp thread. We will update you on these throughout the week. You may experience some glitches in accessing some links, and some misrepresentations of graphics in the website. The site will also experience some downtime throughout the week, which will limit your access to the boards. If there are any concerns you may contact us on Facebook and Twitter, or via PM to the forum director. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation. Yours truly, stellarboy the forum director

Aside for cleaning up the forum and make adjustments on the new domain, this week's maintenance period of usapangfootball.com shall address the following concerns posted on the Major Revamp thread for the past few months: Football Education Center (by badleftfoot): This will be created into a sub-board under the Grassroots section wherein all topics that teaches and discusses football fundamentals will be posted. Existing threads, especially in the main section will be moved to this thread.
UFL Player Profiles (by teddyandtimmysdad): This will be a sub-board under the UFL section wherein players who have played or are currently playing in the league are discussed. (They must not, however, have Filipino ancestry and are not eligibile for the Philippine national team. Such conditions will move their thread to either the Scouting (if uncapped) or Profiles section (if capped). )
Fan Interactions (by feindouno): This will be a board temporarily under the "Promotions and User Requests" section. Topics which don't necessarily fit in any current subforum can be discussed here, and topics can be created to engage conversation between members (like "what's your current profession," "how do you start following football," "who's your favorite celebrity.") This is just to keep the forum alive and kickin'; I admit it's turning boring already. Fangirls will be welcome to post
[/s] [/li][li] Navigation issues (by veryfatchocobo/cjeagle/Wiking): I'll post in the "How To's" thread in how to look for recently-replied threads in this forum, and how to navigate through the forum. And I hope to increase the number at the "recent posts" function if allowed. I admit, though, Proboards is very inconsistent in terms of navigating threads. [/li][li] Match Archive (by Wiking): All topics about concluded tournaments and individual fixtures of the Azkals will be moved to this sub-board (under Azkals Discussion) for archving, to make it easier for people to review them. [/li][/ul] Other concerns will be addressed soon. If you have any other concerns, drop me a PM! Thank you! UPDATE: Boards indicated above have been created.

UPDATE: We are in the process of creating the new boards the members have requested.
As for the Match Archive board, previous tournament & match threads from the Azkals Discussion board are in the process of moving there.

Since all the major tasks were finished earlier than expected, we are officially out of the maintenance period. We'll announce the changes made in a few.

MAINTENANCE PERIOD CHANGELOG:During the period of Tuesday, Sept 11, 2012 12:00 PM to Wednesday, Sept 12, 2012 11:59 AM, the website underwent some changes: - A cleanup has been made for the threads contained in the Azkals Discussion section. Some threads dating back 2010 and early 2011 are being marked if qualified for archiving or deletion. They will be evaluated at another maintenance period scheduled in late October.
- An automated maintenance check provided by Proboards was run and is awaiting evaluation.
- Graphics on this website are being evaluated and will be changed, if allowed, during the next maintenance period.
- A new board called the Football Learning Center has been created under the Grassroots section. Threads in the main section containing discussion on football basics have been moved to this board.
- A new board called the Player Profiles has been created under the United Football League section. An initial list of player profiles have been created for the board, namely: Yu Hoshide, Jonahan Romero, Dario Dakic, Rufo Sanchez and Joaco Garcia. Everyone is encouraged to post profiles of these foreigners in the UFL on the board.
- A new board called the Match Archive has been created under the Azkals Discussion board. All previously-concluded tournaments and matches of the national team have been moved to this board.
- A new section called Fan Interactions has been created, intended for off-topic discussions. A few threads from the Promotions board have been moved there.
- A new section called Shop Zone has been created. Its intended function will be announced soon.
We hope you enjoyed the new additions to the forum. If you have any further inquiries, please send a PM to the Forum Director. Thank you.
