The Blue Line: Eastside Hockey Manager Fansite

New EHM wiki hosting

We have now retired the old MediaWiki section of the website as it was a pain to maintain. Our wiki articles are now hosted on the TBL GitHub wiki which can be accessed here: https://github.com/archibalduk/ehmtheblueline/wiki or https://www.ehmtheblueline.com/wiki Our repository on GitHub also hosts various EHM-related documents including game manuals and database structures. You can find it here: https://github.com/archibalduk/ehmtheblueline The original MediaWiki site can still be accessed via the Wayback Machine at Archive.org.

The Blue Line: Eastside Hockey Manager Fansite

Minor Forum Re-organisation

Given that a high proportion of posts made on the TBL Forums relate to data editing and rosters, it makes sense for the Data Editing Forum and the Rosters Forum to be separate forum from the Game Addons Forum (as opposed to being sub-forums). We have therefore moved these directly under the EHM Forum section. As users will be aware, we have always encouraged users to post related questions in the same thread in order to avoid flooding a forum with numerous topics covering the same subject. However, given the complexity of certain aspects of data editing (such as editing/adding...

The Blue Line: Eastside Hockey Manager Fansite

And… We’re back!

After a few weeks of the site being inaccessible, we have now migrated from our old host (who unfortunately couldn’t give us much assistance) to a new host. We are now using a virtual private server rather than shared hosting, so have much greater control over the server and more certainty as to our server resources (which do not need to be shared with other websites). Hopefully we will have a more reliable experience going forward but inevitably there may be a few teething problems. I have been ironing out a few minor issues over the past weekend and it...

Happy birthday to EHM The Blue Line!

Happy 15th birthday to The Blue Line!

Today marks fifteen years of The Blue Line! A lot has happened in that time; we have seen four releases of Eastside Hockey Manager (2004, 2005, 2007 and 1), five editors (Mne2’s EHM 2004, 2005 and 2007 editors and Archi’s EHM Updater and EHM 1 Editor), the EHM Assistant, the Custom Start Date Patch, over 50 releases of the TBL Rosters and countless other roster updates and addons. Whilst the community isn’t as busy and bustling as it was in its heyday, there are still many people actively working on roster updates, addons and tools and there are even more...

New Rosters Forum

With the rise in the number of active roster projects for Eastside Hockey Manager, the Game Add-ons Forum was starting to get a bit congested with sticky threads for those various projects. We have therefore created a separate forum to discuss all things relating to roster projects HERE.

Forum upgrade [Now complete]

A minor forum software update is likely to be installed today. This will result in a short period of downtime whilst the software is upgraded. I will post a further update once the upgrade is complete or if timing is delayed. UPDATE: The forum update is now complete albeit it seems that the navigation menus in the header bar are missing. I will look into this tomorrow. UPDATE 2: The navigation menu in the forum is now back up and running.

Minor forum re-organisation

The General EHM Online Forum has now been merged into the General EHM Chat Forum. Aside from some league advertisements, there was relatively little online gameplay discussion to justify it continuing as a separate forum. The SBHL/WHL Dressing Room forum and the two Trade Block forums have also been deleted due to inactivity. Sign-up and rules threads are now located in the SBHL and WHL forums respectively.

Welcome to the new design website and forum

We are pleased to announce the upgrade of our website and forum! The last upgrade to the website was over seven years ago, on 5 March 2011. Back then we were just about to release the Lidas/Manimal Rosters v3.1 and we hadn’t yet created the Custom Start Date Patch. How things have changed in that time! The new design sees the website being split into two parts: First, we now have a dedicated news/front-end section powered by WordPress. Second, we have the forum which has been, and will continue to be, the focal point of The Blue Line. We also...

Advanced notice: Forum upgrade late May/early June 2018

Just to let everybody know that the forum will be undergoing an upgrade very soon. I am aiming to upgrade next weekend (i.e. some time between Friday 25 May and Sunday 27 May). If I fall behind schedule then it will be the following weekend. It will be apparent when the upgrade is in progress as the site will be offline. This should be a relatively quick process assuming all goes to plan (I envisage around 1-2 hours to undertake the work). I will be posting updates on our Twitter feed during the upgrade: https://twitter.com/ehmtheblueline The forum software we are...
