Yes it's like the draw in my kitchen, there's one with all sorts of odds and sods (ahem!) in it , batteries, scissors,  string, paper clips, drawing pins rubber bands a few foreign coins etc etc. Occasionally you find what you want, more often  you don't. Occasionally I find something that I didn't know I needed......but mainly I don't.
Some computer buff on this site needs to sort it. I can't

    What are you looking for?

    I think the site is organised, but I have noticed that for some reason google doesn't index it very well.

    I personally prefer the way CharltonLife is set up compared to other forums where Charlton Info is on one page, Other Sports on another page, Off Topic on another… less segmentation and clicking through things to get to the stuff you want to read.

    You putting this thread in "General Charlton" category doesn't help. 
    Lets just have one category- Complaints

    Yellow pages- not for phone numbers but happy clappy people "its all going to be alright next season"

    Blue pages for deep tactical analysis of defensive errors

    Red pages for what to do put it all right

    Green pages- ? state of the art pitch discussions/low Co2 emission travel to the Valley

    Reasons why I put this topic up...........

    Search. function throws up a a lot junk. Need a separate search function for threads, or refine the current one so it doesn't just throw everything  from the beginning of time

    Yet if you accidentally put up something that's been done before........

    More sub categories
    eg
    General Charlton
    - Match discussion/thread/post match discussion
    -Stat bank
    - Players/Squad
    -Management
    -Owners
    -Away Travel
    -  tickets/Season/spares
    -Opposition teams/Next game
    -Local Rivals
    -History
    -Charlton TV
    - Kit
    -
    -Sky coverage of CAFC


    etc

    I saw @AFKABartram in Waitrose earlier, you need to be discussing your salary. 🤷‍♂️

    But some kind mod (not me, I might add, although I would have done if someone else hadn't beaten me to it) has moved it to the right place now.
    @kingkinsella what is it that you're trying to find, that you're having trouble with?

    This presents the problem with any filing system that is too detailed. Where do you store a post about the squad looking wafer-thin at an away game against local rivals where we wore a ridiculous all-green kit with yellow spots? 

    Actually, I like the idea of an all-green kit with yellow spots. Now is that General Charlton or Fun, Jokes and Captions?

    Suggest using the Google search function

    Go to Google and type -  site:forum.charltonlife.com (your query) 

    Without the brackets obviously 

    It's not perfect but it works better than most sites internal search functions

    This site is so much better than most football supporter forums. It isn't cluttered with pointless information (a lot of forums contain loads of info about the posters on their posts that just isn't required for a conversation). The quote system collapsing the previous messages makes it easy to navigate through a conversation. The ads are not intrusive. I don't think any forum has a particularly effective search function and it is possible to find stuff via Google. I think it's easy to take this site for granted.

    This is one of the best forums out there in terms of layout and organisation, if anything posters need to learn to use the right categories more often. I'd hate if we had one of those standard WordPress or Tapatalk forums.
