We need the CP thread to drool over Conner Gallagher and moan how we didn't get him when actually the forum didn't want him ..

How about don't read the things of no interest.
Igloo was good can we have more on interesting subjects maybe blackholes, time and space distortion as looking at some of the tripe written about some players I think the writers have travelled beyond the event horizon to a parallel universe.

The breakfast debate date 29th July when it was stated Conor Gallagher had chosen Crystal Palace, only 5 people stated they didn't want him (I wasn't one of them by the way).

I don't see the issue with it, every forum is different, if tha don't want to read something , don't read it.
The topics change regularly because the Mod's do a sterling job, hence not clogging the forum up with 20 odd topics on same subject, omo like.

Thanks, really appreciate those kind words, Mental.

I'm always looking to improve MOT by checking other football forums.

Many of the PL club forums have separate topics for their rivals & other teams, they also have individual threads for their squad players which creates much discussion as is the case on MOT.

When compiling the club threads, the introductory post gives the history/details of the club, which also features links to their football forums.

Citeh's Blue Moon forum has a Leeds topic, last time I perused the forum it had passed 100 pages.

I feel we have a good mix of topics.

One major forum some fans rave about still has the same boring subjects, let's face it, how can a thread about 'Emma's Tits' attract 320 pages :roll:

May i suggest sticky index's.

So sticky threads for different subjects with each relevant thread linked.

So a sticky for general interest threads with links to all the music, film, tv, etc hreads.

A sticky for general sport non football threads

A sticky for football threads with all the team threads and what not linked.

And a sticky for Leeds match threads and discussions etc.


Something to make the forum more organised and easily accessible so people dont lose days looking for a specific thread

Well, you’ve confused the hell out of me Cjay - sticky what ?? ? 🤔

I really don’t see what is confusing about the current idea of having a thread for each PL club. It keeps everything nicely compartmentalised under the umbrella of each club. When separate threads relating to that club are started (eg the recent appointment of Conte at Spurs) the thread is merged under the ‘club’ thread.

Let’s face it most people probably only look at page 1 and there’s never more than 2 (3 at a push) other club threads on the first page.

It tends to be the same threads that occupy page 1 position as they are the ones that members contribute to most frequently.

However, as 64 has said something for the Mods to discuss 👍

A sticky index :)

So a thread called simply "Forum index" that is permanent at the top of the forum same as the injury, squad, u23 and stats thread.

And then in that thread it contains in the opening post a list of sub titles representing different topics.

So one for competitions for example which would contain links to the various competitions.

Another thread that contains all the general interests topics, music, film, tv, news items etc.

Abother thread for general sport threads.

Another for Leeds united stuff and match day stuff

And another for general non LUFC football which woild contain links to all the individual club threads and things like that

So all the sub indexs in the main forum index thread would be updated as and when with each new thread given a section to go in.

And slowly as threads die they are removed so it doesnt become clogged

Just think it would help navigate the forum and maybe attract new members as atm it is easy to lose a thread and it may be discouraging to new members trying to navigate if they are struggling to find a specific thread and instead they join the other forum and see what Emma has done today.
