TBL Points System Upgrade (Now Completed)

As part of my continuing work to upgrade and improve the site, I shall be making some improvements to the TBL Points System. This shall make the System easier to run for the Admin Team and should make the System a little fairer. Rather than the Admins having to award points for a user’s 100th post, this shall be done automatically. This will remove a great burden on the Admin team and will ensure that nobody slips through the net. As a result, the everyone’s points will have to be reset. Don’t worry; you won’t be losing all of your...

Minty’s Resolutions For The NHL in 2007

I invite everyone to check out and chime in with responses and their own resolutions for the Hockey World in the thread I posted in the Hockey Talk Forum: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi … php?t=2056 Happy New Year everyone!

New server

Here it is, the new The Blue Line webserver! It will allow us to provide you with even more EHM files from now on. It was one hell of an adventure for me, from buying the server to making the move. You have to know TBL grew a lot since we started in 2004, especially the database was difficult to move (we didn’t delete a single post since we started in 2004). Probaly some files are still missing but we’ll move then as soon as possible.

Latest Files Forum

Announcing the new Latest Files Forum! Soon after the release of a new version of EHM there tends to be a rush of new files released, making it difficult for everyone to stay abreast of what is going on. The Latest Files Forum aims to help our users keep up-to-date with the happenings in the EHM addon world! At the end of every week we shall post a summary of the addons uploaded over the past week. This will help guide you through the mass of addons that gradually build up in the TBL File Servers, helping you to make the...

TBL Community Map – Show us where you live!

Introducing a new site feature: The TBL Community Map (Powered by Google) TBL has a truly worldwide following and so the TBL Admin Team thought it would be a great idea for users to show the Community where they are from. By going to the TBL Community Map Page you can add a flag to the map to show where you are from. To go to the Map Page, click on the icon in the black navigation bar at the top of the screen (you must be logged into your TBL account in order to see the button). Simply follow these instructions...

Announcing our new site design!

The Blue Line Admin Team is proud to present our new site design! It’s a great improvement over our old site, with the whole site being based on one, rather than many, system. Everything in the site is fully integrated and much easier to navigate. We hope you’ll agree that it’s a great improvement. There’s a new Home Page which displays the latest site and EHM news. All news items can be discussed by registered users by clicking on the “Post Your Comments” link located below each news item. The Home Page also shows the latest files added to our...

Goodbye Mambo!

It’s been nearly a year since the relaunch of TBL (TBL has now been going for over two years) and during that time we were using a Content Management System called Mambo. This provided the site with a great foundation upon which we have steadily been building on over the past year. However, the developers of Mambo have failed to keep it updated (most have moved over to another CMS called Joomla) and so now it lies prone to a number of security flaws and exploits. As a result, TBL has been hacked twice over the past few days. Thankfully...

Introducing the Knowledge Base

The Blue Line is proud to present the Knowledge Base! The KB is a new system for creating and organising guides and articles. This a much better system than our old Guides system as it is much more user friendly and easier to use. To access the KB, click on the ‘Guides’ link in the horizontal menu below the TBL header image. Click on ‘Read more…’ to discover the new features of the system and how to submit your own articles:

Image Gallery

The Blue Line is proud to present a new site feature: The Image Gallery. You’ll find the new system to be much easier to use and more flexible due to it’s improved features and interface. To access the new Image Gallery, go to the Main Site and click on the “Image Gallery” link located on the navigation bar below the header. Another benefit of our new site design is that this feature will always be just a click of the navigation bar away. You can also use this URL to go directly to the Gallery: www.ehmtheblueline.com/gallery.

Viewing the Forums

In order to provide added flexibility to the site, users now have two ways of accessing the TBL Forums – either in a new window or with the navigation bar at the top of the screen. These options can be found in the ‘View the Forums’ menu on the left side of the screen. The web address for the Forums is: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/
