How to find new content?

We just upgraded our forum and site software from the Invision Community software V4 that we have been using for many years to their latest release of V5. A LOT of things have changed in this major version change so over a number of blogs we are going to post a few 'How To' guides or tips to get the most from the new system. I am going to do this via the Site Admin blog and explain some of the new features implemented with this new version of our website software. First item is how to actually f

How to add pictures in V5

Second article on the new system is about how to add pictures to the forums ... It's pretty straightforward but there are some additional options compared to the previous version of the software. In the old version you could simply drag-and-drop or choose to upload from your computer. Those options are still there at the bottom of the editor box: NEW to the bottom of the editor box is over on the right hand side with a couple of icons ... The first allows you to insert something you added else

Adding CTO as a Web App to your phone

Don't want to load Edge or Chrome (or Safari) then navigate to CTO in your browser? Why not add CTO as a Web Application right on your phone screen? Its easy and there is little you need to do as its already been set up. What is a WebApp? In its simplest form (like here) it is basically comparable to a desktop shortcut or bookmark. It is not an installable application, but a link to a web-based application. On the back end of CTO we have it setup so that this link performs a little differently t

Across The Pond - Toronto Stadium

Having attending the 4-1 loss to NYRB there a couple of years back at the start of that season, one area they need to improve is the South stand supporters section and that big open window facing the ungodly cold wind from the lake. Sitting in the East stand and just dying. 😄 Put up a wind breaker for goodness sakes! 😭🥶
Otherwise BMO is a proper no frills football stadium. Hopefully the Whitecaps can move to something similar in the near future.
My seasons are in "U-Sector" section 113 of that very same south stand. Its a toss-up to where I have been colder. BMO Field on the two MLS Cup Finals held there - in November (2016 and 2017) at around -15 or at the Caledonian Stadium in the deepest midwinter with the wind coming in off the Firth.
Its a different kind of cold in each stadium, but when its cold, both can be bloody cold. In Canada it's a dry "holy s***" kind of cold because the negative number can be double digits whereas, as we all know, the Scottish cold might only be -1 or -2 but its that damp, get in your bones kind of cold.
I'll cover the renovations in the one of the next entries in the blog since you are interested, as well as future posts about my volunteer interview, the ridiculous MLS fixture list for next year due to the world cup, and the proposals for league adjustments in 2027. Lots to come :)

When things are running smoothly it works quite well, you just load up an audiobook or a couple of episodes of the Wyness Shuffle and off you go. Its when things go pear-shaped with Toronto traffic that it gets annoying and that unfortunately is not increasingly rare.
I prefer to drive to be honest, especially if I have the (not so) little one and dont fancy spending $20 for a beer you can buy for $3 in the shop. I have a sweet spot that doesn't get too busy and its about a 15 minute walk to the stadium. FIFA however will likely be monetising all the parking areas within 5km of the stadium so thats not an option for the world cup.
