Need ECF LMS website

Tim Lunn · Post by **Tim Lunn** » Tue Oct 08, 2024 7:43 pm

Hi, anyone know if they're working to improve the new ECF LMS website? Have accessed the new, and it looks a mess on my android phone.

Problems with the new version
The major problems we are looking at with the new version are:

Viewing match cards on Android mobile phones
Problem with Fixture load from Excel removing existing fixtures for all events even if you are only loading one.
Problem with Standings in a Swiss event
Problem with access to verify matches - fix coming soon
Updates October 7th 2024
The LMS has undergone a major upgrade and now looks different. We hope you like it. The upgrade was forced on us because the software on which the LMS is based would not be supported after the end of the year. If any of the changes are causing you a real problem or something doesn't work, please let us know and we will try and help. See it, say it, sort it!

There's a more detailed list of known bugs here (so no need for me to report the one I noticed this morning).

The old version (with red surround) was pretty good.
Might I suggest they put this back on the original URL until the new version is readable on Android.

It's not only your android, Tim. The new version of the match result page is far inferior on my laptop to the old version. But hopefully it's not the finished pr/oduct.

Received this email message from Malcolm Peacock today:

To all LMS organisation owners,

There is a proposed list of LMS enhancements here:
https://lms.englishchess.org.uk/lms/enhancements?page=0
If you would like to influence which new features get added to LMS, go to that page and vote. Or if you have an idea that is not mentioned, let me know and I will add it to the list. A small number of those features that are simplest and with the most votes will be chosen two weeks from now.
thanks
Malcolm ( LMS Software Developer )

I suppose this is good news remembering the IT systems crisis reported at the AGM

I see that

specify only part of surname when searching for players.

was the most popular.

Show a warning if about to move away from a partially filled in match that has not been saved

was down the order.

But what is the mechanism for saving an incomplete result? I always lose what I had previously input if I encounter a player new to playing for a club in the league.

You can enter "New Player" and then save the result, and then go back to it
