New FCOTM

Due to unforeseen changes being implemented, the front page will no longer be accessible to admins.

What does this mean? FCOTM will no longer be able to be altered by myself every month. I will not be able to put the picture up with a link to the persons page who won in the little 1x1 piece up top left of the front page.

However - I can still move pages to the front page through other ways such as the Texas meet you see when you visit the homepage. This translates into whoever wins FCOTM will get a larger picture on the home page, as well as a link to their respective FCOTM entry providing more info on their build. IMO its a win win for whoever wins FCOTM because itll be right in your face when you visit CSS. Their is also talk about promoting the FCOTM winner on twitter and facebook, but its still being ironed out.

But going forward this will be the new process.

Maybe I've been under a rock but 'unforseen changes'?

Good to see, I always thought FCOTM winners should get more space on the front page.

All in all i think this is a good move, and it will be easier for me to do without html script which isnt hard just time consuming

yeah it can! its easy for the most part, just time consuming because like you said, if you do a bunch at once then save it and screw something up, its sort of a PITA to try and find it to fix it. I did it a lot in school so its not bad. definitely not something to be done by mobile lol.
