Subpage under development, new version coming soon!
Subject: NEWS Upcoming Changes
Morsey [del] to
All
We are approaching the time to introduce important modifications on the Sokker website. These changes are mainly of a technical nature, relating primarily to how pages are displayed. These modifications do not bring anything new to the game, or visible changes; however there could be complications for users using custom skins. These modifications were made for several important reasons.
The first reason for these modifications is for the desire to adapt Sokker for smartphones and tablets. This will be the beginning to create an official application for iOS and Android users. It is one of the most important upcoming projects, with many users eagerly awaiting these applications.
The second reason why we have introduced these changes is due to several problems with the positioning of pages in the current format. In addition, the url addresses of subpages were hidden for users, which made it difficult for users to share their latest matches, news publications etc. since you could not copy the url address easily. The modifications will make the url addresses more visible to users and more easily obtained.
The third reason for the changes is due to graphical modifications which we are planning upon the website. We have already prepared a new design and these modifications will make it easier to implement the design. The graphical changes are aimed at new users visiting the page, as the current design is quite outdated.
Another important reason for the changes is to improve our method of placing advertisements on the website. Advertisements are not the users’ favourite part of the website, but thanks to advertising, the game can be free in its basic version. The easiest and recommended method by us to get rid of ads is to buy plus, which removes ads when you view the website.
The need to adapt skins for new conditions is a result of these changes. The official skins have already been adapted, but skins from other sources will need to be modified by their respective authors. We do not recommend the user of the old skins in the new layout, because the page is likely to not display correctly. In the coming months, we anticipate further changes to the website coding, therefore keep that in mind if you are a creator of skins.
The home page has been modified, in order to be friendlier for new and existing users. The URLs of the pages are now in a more readable form, both for users and in web searches too. The graphic design at the moment is unchanged, but as mentioned, in the future it will change. Work is ongoing on a new look of the home page and website to make it more attractive for new users.
We also noticed a possibility of making a link to Sokker available in many different ways from your club page. You will be able to invite people to Sokker in a more convenient method and you will receive 10 days of Plus for every 10 new members who register from your invitation.
Making these changes requires further refining by changing URL formats, as at the moment not all components are working as intended. Therefore so far, we invite you to test the new version at:

Please report any bugs or problems you experience in the thread below;

Currently, we focus on creating an official Sokker application and mobile version of the website. In the future we would like to make changes in training, in accordance with the expectations expressed in surveys. Ultimately, the training has to be more realistic and more interesting, but less dependent on matches played. But we aim to maintain continuity and any changes in training will be introduced gradually, to assist with people who have training programs for their players. We will inform you about the details in advance.
Sincerely,
Your Sokker Development Team

Wise choice going down the mobile/tablet route; clearly that is where technology is heading and how people access the internet these days (almost all of my access has come from my iphone in the past 3 or 4 years).
It would be nice to some actual game tweaks though as the userbase is already at risk!
Also, 10 days of Plus for every 10 new members who register from your invitation is hardly an incentive!

Well i'm looking forward to any possible graphical changes, as imho, the website is graphically outdated. Tweaking the training is going to be really hard for the devs, as some will hate, some will like, but i do feel some sort of reality is needed in the training department. However, signs of movement is a good thing!
It all sounded great - until the last paragraph. Let's hope the best. At least something gets done about the graphics.
Nice !! All managers, from new users to older ones wait for this since 2 years... Hopefully, we are in 200.. emmhh... 2013 ? Noooooo.... :-)

As far as I understand there are going to be scarcely any graphical changes, it's all about tweaking the website coding...

Personally i prefer less "busy" websites. Perhaps this is why Sokker has always appealed to me.
I like the "simple" look.

For the moment yes, but design changes are planned and the website modifications seem necessary for a new design.

Look at it from the other side: greg is too lazy to change the coding if wasn't really really really necessary :p
we all know it, general fact ;) but this thing should happened 2-3 years ago, and I dont think that Poland is that way behind ;)
Please remove sokker news from homepage to club page. Please.
