In Development – HomeCrowd Comments – Phase Four Testing

We’re carrying out another test of “HomeCrowd”, the new Fantasy Football Scout comments system, tomorrow. Those who with to take part in this test can get on board by emailing us at homecrowd@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

This is likely to be our last “closed” test of HomeCrowd prior to going live, although another short open “stress test” may follow early next week if required.

Invites should go out tomorrow morning and will include details of how to get involved.

Those who have already taken part in our earlier tests will get the invite as before.

This test is focused on the latest optimisation tweaks, some new features and, in the main, the new design.

Recent changes include:

  • Brand new design including new skin and emoticons.
  • Full Private Profiles now added with the ability to change password, display name etc.
  • Display names are now limited to those not currently used in another users display name or username. Basically, no two users can show the same display name.
  • Individual comments can now be locked by moderators and admins to prevent further replies.

All being well, we will be rolling HomeCrowd live early next week. We’re currently working on the importer to ensure that the changeover will be as seamless as possible – not easy with almost five million comments to import over. We’ll let you know on progress.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Morning guys.

    What you think? Obvious replacement for Tekkers is Sturridge right? Check my team if you like.

      That's what I'm looking at... nothing else tickles my fancy...

      A lot depends on some other players' playing time... (Tevez, RVP, Lampard)

      Cazorla at St James' Park on the final day. Not sure about his scoring potential tbh. He is capable of a big score but more likely to not get one imo.

      Silva is a decent pick. Instead of benching Lukaku you should bench Kagawa and do Lukaku > Sturridge/Carroll/McManaman/Dzeko/Agbonlahor/Lambert/Papiss
