That was what I was wondering too but, as has been said above, who knows ๐. Did Kel mention anything during the post match interview or was that not something he was asked?

Across The Pond - World Cup Edition
Toying with the idea of reinstating this blog, not just as a Toronto FC blog for anyone interested but perhaps more relevant (assuming Scotland can qualify) a blog about the pre-World Cup 2026 preparations in Toronto where BMO Field will host several group stage games The current field is undergoing in-place upgrades as the MLS season continues and the new stadium will go from this .... to the images below with the addition of temporary seating. The stands on the left (West/Main) and right (East) will remain largely unchanged. The South End (supporters' section) will have a second tier added and the entire North End that is currently open (to accommodate the longer pitch required for CFL games) will be built (and torn down after the WC). More info and musings to follow if there is interest? Looking North [click to view full size] Looking South Looking across the South End (area on left is pre-existing, the seats on the right will be new)

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 elsewhere to save you uploading it again (and to save us using up so much space). As you can see in my case, it shows images I have previously uploaded in recent days and can also extend to images i added to the gallery and elsewhere. The second icon allows you to add stock images from Pixabay. These are royalty free images and you can search using keywords. Dont see much use for it in most threads, but it is available. We also dont have any control over what the keywords bring up as its an external service. The editor itself has also changed from the last version and we will cover that in a future article, but there are a couple of image related items in there too .... In the top part of the editor box, everyone will recognise the emoticon/smiley button and that functions pretty much as before with the addition of globally approved emoticons... I do have to go through and verify that the classic CTO emoticons are still all there but if not they will be restored! There is also a new image insertion tool called GIF which will allow you to insert an animated GIF from GIPHY. Again, we have no control over the search results so dont complain if you cant find something! Edited to add ... You can also add FontAwesome icons from the Emoji list. Click icons instead of emojis and the full list of fontAwesome standard icons are there. Also checked that the classic CTO icons are there and they are. You just need to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find them (or know their name to bring them up in a search)

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 find new content as this has changed. On the main menu there is a menu item called 'activity streams'. This contains pre-configured searches that will bring up results based on Articles, Topics and various other options. Try them out and see what you might like. If you find one you do like you can use the options window within the feed result to set it as your default. If you set it as default then you can view it from the little page icon next to your profile information as shown on the images below. If you do not like any of the options, or want to tweak it slightly, you can click show filter and setup a custom feed using the filters then save it as a default in the same way. The same default new content search is also available at the bottom of each page ...

Pre-Season 2025-2026
Wick game rescheduled for next Wednesday, think it was X I saw that confirmed. I'd presume it'll be a team of Under 19s because we play Elgin the night before in the League Cup.

Quick tip You can view the various unread content feeds in the main menu as shown below. If you find one you like you can set it as default on the right side of the feed page .. then on future visits all you need to do is click the little icon next to your profile pic to load that specific feed.
