Systeminformasjon - fullstendig

3-18-2024 About Sunday downtime

Hattrick went offline Sunday afternoon around 15.30 CET and stayed down all evening. The reason was a failed disk in our database server, which was not critical in itself, but it had follow-on software effects, which led to a spontaneous reboot of the operating system. When the system came back online, we had to perform various maintenance and repair tasks to ensure that all data was intact and secure before bringing the site back up.

When the site came back online, we extended all the transfers whose deadlines were during the downtime and immediately afterwards by 24 hours and then restarted the game engine. This made it possible for the game engine to catch up overnight, making sure most matches and scheduled updates were on schedule by Monday morning.

In the end, no game data or otherwise important data was lost. What was lost was time, and the chance for many users to submit or update their match orders during Sunday afternoon and evening. We considered delaying the restarting of the game to give users a second window to submit lineups, but as often is the case in situations like this, we would then risk new problems, and we decided it was safer and better not to do this.

Please let this serve as a reminder of the importance of submitting match orders early, and having a standard lineup as a backup. You can always revise a placed lineup close to kick-off if need be, but not having any decent lineup in place is always risky.

Today, we applied a small fix, which means that users who are aiming to achieve the goal of watching all league matches live this season will not be penalized for this downtime. Matches will be counted as having been seen.

3-5-2024 Utgivelsesnotater 5. mars

• Vi har endret startsiden slik at hvis du besøker Hattrick for første gang, eller med en ny enhet eller nettleser, vil ikke lenger innloggingsboksen være synlig. I stedet vil det være registreringsknappen som er i fokus. Eksisterende managere bør klikke på lenken "Do you already have an account?" for å få frem "login".

Hvis du, som de fleste av våre besøkende, kommer til Hattrick fra en nettleser du har logget inn med tidligere (og som har informasjonskapslene i orden), vil alt se ut som før. Dette er en liten endring som de fleste av dere ikke vil legge merke til, men det vil gjøre startsiden tydeligere og mer funksjonell for nykommere i spillet.

• En rettelse er gjort slik at forhåndsvisningen for cupen, som viser din potensielle neste motstander, nå også vises imens den nåværende cuprunden akkurat er ferdigspilt.

• Vi har også lagt tilbake lenken til de gamle serietabellene for ungdomslag, som var blitt feilplassert.

3-3-2024 Match issue with counter attacks

We are aware of an issue with our match engine where an unexpected high amount of counter attacks have been created in certain matches. Our team is investigating and we will keep you updated as soon as we have news.

2-17-2024 Release notes 15th February

The following fixes and improvements have been released:
• Added latest season to old series page on youth leagues between seasons
• Fixed a presentational issue with match orders page and youth players skills in Firefox
• Removed the timeline events from the match report on youth matches because the data shown was not correct
• Fixed translation issues with the Player Position in the new league events.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

1-28-2024 Chat Portal issues

We're experiencing some issues with the Chat Portal that slow it down considerably. We apologise for the inconvenience.

1-23-2024 Serieutvidelser

I dag annonserte vi at Guyana og Tahiti får egne ligaer neste sesong.

Samtidig vil vi gjøre kjent at seks ligaer vil bli utvidet med en fjerde divisjon: Kapp Verde, Elfenbenskysten, Mosambik, Trinidad & Tobago, Nicaragua og Den dominikanske republikk.

Dette vil både gi plass for flere lokale brukere og for nye ekstra lag, i tilfelle du har ventet på en sjansen for å bli med.

1-16-2024 Single matches renamed Duels

You may notice that we have started replacing the term "Single matches" on the site, instead replacing it with "Duels". In many languages this is already what single matches are called, now we make the change also in English and some other languages. This change is in preparation of a bigger revamp of all match types that take place outside the core game (Tournaments, Ladders, Battles etc) and which will be announced next week.

Duels will work exactly the same was as Single matches, this is just a name change.

1-11-2024 Facebook login issues

There appear to be some issues with logging in through Facebook. We are working hard together with Facebook to try to resolve this problem as soon as possible.

If you are unable or not willing to wait for this, then you can try to reset your password by clicking on the 'Lost your password?' link and submit either your login name or registered email address with which you then can reset your password. We will then send you an email to your registered email address with your login name and the possibility to set a new password.

If this doesn't work, you can contact the 'Privacy & GDPR' who can try to help you get back into your account. A link to the contact form, you can find at the bottom of our website.

1-10-2024 Issue with matches resolved

There was an issue that caused some matches to be delayed. The issue is fixed now and matches are being simulated.

12-19-2023 Shop issue resolved.

This morning we solved the problem of last night where it was not possible to purchase the Silver, Gold and Diamond packages that were on offer. If you were one of the affected users, you can now run to the store and take advantage of the offer now.

We've also solved the issue affecting the orders with Gold and Diamond with the 12+3 option purchased between 10:10 this morning and 12:03. The affected orders will be handled in the next hours, so you can expect the extra 3 months of Supporter (+ the gift to another user) pretty soon on your account. There is no need to contact the Shop individually.

12-18-2023 Shop issue with campaign offer

We are aware of a problem with processing the payment request after selecting the payment method. If this problem affects you, don't worry, we will try to fix this as soon as possible.

There is no longer the need to send us a message about this if you are affected. We will publish a new message here when the issue has been fixed. You can go to bed without a problem now, as the offer will still be here tomorrow!

We apologize for the inconvenience if you have been affected by this unfortunate mishap.

12-7-2023 Chat notification issues

We're having some issues that may cause you to get a chat notification for the Hattrick Masters final. We are working on it.

11-21-2023 Release notes 21. november

Følgende rettelser og forbedringer er satt i drift:

• Fra nå av vil du få en melding fra sekretæren din når en planlagt overgang nærmer seg (24 timer før), og en melding til når spilleren blir lagt ut for salg.
• Merket som vises når du kan ringe ungdomsspeiderne, vil bli borte så snart du besøker siden. Den vil ikke vises igjen før etter neste økonomioppdatering.

Som vanlig har vi også fikset noen mindre feil og gjort noen små forbedringer for å forbedre spillopplevelsen din.

11-10-2023 Youth Academy Updates

We’re introducing a one-time window until November 17th, 23:59 HT time, where you can leave any youth league you’re part of and join a new one. The 7-day rule from your last match will still apply when you join the new league. Additionally, we’ve added the option to use Hall Of Fame players as scouts on your Scouting Network. We hope you find these updates enjoyable!

11-7-2023 Improved Manager News box

We introduce a recent improvement to your My Office page, enhancing the Manager News sidebar box. Messages will no longer disappear with a single click, offering you more control over your inbox. Unread messages are now clearly highlighted in bold, ensuring you don’t miss any important updates. Plus, we’ve organized bid messages to prevent your inbox from getting cluttered during bidding wars.

10-16-2023 Påminnelser til sesongstart

Velkommen til den nye Hattricksesongen! Imens managerene gjør seg klar for første serierunde, vil vi minne deg på to endringer som er annonsert tidligere.

Den første er at målvakter nå har fungerende spesialiteter. Denne endringen ble annonsert 27. oktober i fjor:

Denne sesongen markerer også starten på endringen for trenere. Fra nå av vil de motta lønn som de andre ansatte. Endringen vil ikke gjelde eksisterende trenere, som vil motta den lønnen de hadde tidligere.

Les mer om denne endringen, som vi annonserte i 27. juni i år.

(/MyHattrick/News/Archive.aspx?messageId=75788&isEditorial=0&onlyEditorials=0)

Vi ønsker deg en god start på sesongen!

HT-teamet

9-11-2023 Update with match lineups bug

We would like to inform you that the recent bug affecting match lineups in certain leagues has been successfully resolved. Our development team has re-simulated the affected matches using the original data, and all updates have been reinstated. All player and team statuses are back to normal.

We appreciate your patience and support during this process and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

UPDATE: The final details with series tables, top scorers, finances and achievements are also solved now.

9-9-2023 Issues with match lineups in some leagues

Because of a problem in the match engine this Saturday morning, the lineups and ratings for home teams in league matches were wrong. The affected leagues are:

Chinese Taipei
China
Mongol Uls
Vietnam
Kampuchea
Hong Kong
Indonesia
România

It's complicated for us to try to resimulate those matches during the weekend while matches for all leagues are being played, so for now we have paused updates for these leagues and will do our best to roll back the matches and related updates, and resimulate them on Monday.

The match data has been saved, so even if the resimulation takes place on Monday, it will be with the player status and all values from today.

8-31-2023 Technical issue with push notifications in our Android app

UPDATE: We've fixed the Android app's push notification problem. To continue receiving updates, please update to the latest version once it's available on the Google Play Store. Usually, it takes a few hours.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the push notifications in our Android app. Our development team is actively working to resolve this issue and restore normal functionality as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

7-13-2023 Release notes 13th July

The following improvement has been released:

• You will now have the ability to retire your current player-coach into the Hall of Fame. This can be done from the player page in the same way that you would fire or promote any player but with the difference that in this case he will remain being your coach. This has also been specified in the message before you confirm.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

6-15-2023 Delays for Generation Trophies

We will be troubleshooting the issue tomorrow morning. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

4-6-2023 Paypal temporarily unavailable

Paypal has temporarily been disabled as a payment option. We are hopefully able to re-enable it within a couple of days. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

3-5-2023 Apache league teams can't be accessed

Tomorrow morning we will be looking into the issue of not being able to access Apache league teams. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

2-28-2023 Release notes 28th February

The following improvement has been released:

• We released a new system that keeps track of NT related offenses similar to what is already in use on the forum side of things. We will also clear everyone's ban slate (except for a handful of managers that took things a step too far in the past), so we all start afresh.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

2-28-2023 Server move update & Downtime

The server move is going well so far. All hardware have reached the destination and today we are installing the equipment.

We would like to point out that in our initial communication we mentioned that the final downtime would be today, Tuesday, morning. It will in fact be tomorrow morning, as is also showed in the current downtime information on the site.

We hope to have everything back to full working order (including the match archives) by Wednesday evening.

2-28-2023 New Leagues & Campaign

Many users are taking advantage of the current Platinum campaign to try out starting a secondary team in one of the three new leagues Nepal, Burkina Faso and Grenada. Here are a few things that you may want to know regarding this:

* The new leagues had a problem at the start because new teams did not get any players. This was resolved before the weekend.

* We ran out of slots for new teams in Burkina Faso and Grenada. Yesterday, these two leagues got a new division which means there are plenty of room again for anyone that wants to join there. However: With the added divisions, late arrivals are likely start one division lower than the first ones. If you choose Nepal, everyone will start in the same level. Your choice.

* We extended the Platinum campaign to Wednesday midnight (one more day)

* The National Cup for the new leagues will be created on Thursday morning. If you get a team before then, you will get a place in the Cup for the first season.

* The 16-week rule normally restrict users to open a new additional team if less than 16 weeks have passed since the opening of a previous additional team. This rule has been temporarily suspended until midnight, March 1.

Have fun everyone!

2-21-2023 Rating Bug Solved

We have fixed a bug which affected the contributed of loyalty to the match ratings of your team. In general, it caused players with high loyalty (such as homegrown players) to perform worse than expected, while players with less loyalty might have performed better than expected. Matches were affected from Wednesday last week, while fixes have been out since this afternoon. We are sorry for the problem and grateful for the help we have had from users when troubleshooting the issue.

2-20-2023 Qualification matches for HTAL

The qualification matches for the Hattrick Anniversary League were not created as they should have this weekend. We are working on this and the correct matches should appear in your match lists soon, hopefully during the Monday afternoon.

2-17-2023 Double update

In some leagues, the daily update that includes fans and training intensity ran two times instead of once - on Wednesday and Thursday instead of just on Thursday. This was caused by a bug that has been fixed now so we don't expect it to happen again. The extra update will not be reversed but effects will normalize over time. We're sorry for any potential issues caused by this.

2-13-2023 Release notes 13th February

The following fix has been released:

• We fixed an issue where externally hired coaches were wrongly shown with the mother club icon.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

12-22-2022 Emerald Cup redraw: Resend match orders

The draw for next week’s Emerald challenger cups was incorrect, in all leagues. We have redrawn these Cups today. This means all teams now have the correct opponents.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The redraw meant we had to discard all existing match orders for these cups. If you already sent match orders for next week’s Emerald cup match, you need to submit new orders. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

12-16-2022 Ruby cup problems

Because of an issue with the next cup round in all Ruby cups, we unfortunately had to delete all those cup matches for next week and recreate them.

Affected users who already submitted orders for their ruby cup match will need to resubmit their match orders and each affected user should have received an HT-mail informing them of this mishap. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

12-10-2022 Slow site this weekend

The hardware replacement we installed this week is the reason the site is slower than normal. The new hardware is identical to our old one, so the problem is not that it is underdimensioned, but rather there is something in the configuration that is not optimized. We will keep working on this, but we expect the site to stay slow for the rest of the weekend. We are sorry about this. We are still seeing the consequewnces from the downtime last week.

11-23-2022 The revolution is over

All good things come to an end, but also some bad ones.

The bad thing that we decided to end today was the existence of the “Join my revolution!” achievement, as it has been the cause of two types of spamming - both in terms of team signups, which lead to extra work for GMs, but also in-game spamming between users.

If you had already gained this achievement, you will be able to see it as a disabled achievement. But it will no longer count in your point total and no new ones will be handed out.

11-17-2022 More resolved cup draws

More cup draws didn't works as expected and new cup draws are being made for the following involved leagues:
• Coupe de France (France)
• KNVB Beker (Netherlands)
• Puchar Polski (Poland)
• Switzerland Cup (Switzerland)
• Copa de España (Spain)

We expect this to be done in approximately half an hour. We thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

11-16-2022 Cup draws resolved

Yesterday, the Round 2 cup draws for Italy and Germany did not work as intended. The bug causing this has been fixed and new cup draws made for the leagues involved.

11-15-2022 Cup draws for Round 2

We have reports that the wrong teams seem to be getting the home field advantage in the 2nd Round of the national cups. We are investigating this and will, if needed, redraw the matches for next week.

11-14-2022 Nedetid

På morgenen i dag var det mange brukere som ikke kunne logge seg inn på Hattrick i omtrent en time. Overganger ble satt på pause så snart det lot seg gjøre og fristen ble utvidet med en time. Vi beklager for eventuelle ulemper dette kan ha medført for deg.

11-3-2022 Transfer limit working again

The Hattrick Anniversary league transfer limit is now working again as it should. A total of 118 transfers that had been listed in "violation" of the transfer limit have been removed. Three of these had received a bid. Some teams that have had a transfer listings removed may still be allowed to list some of their players, so it is worth checking if you are still under your limit.

11-2-2022 Anniversary league transfer limit bug

Today, a bug affecting the transfer listing limits in Hattrick Anniversary league made itself known, allowing teams that should no longer be able to list players to list players anyway. We have identified and closed this loophole during the afternoon, but for the time being all players listed by HTAL teams today remain on the transfer list. Tomorrow Thursday we will take a closer look at this situation and delist any players that are being sold when this should not have been possible. In practical terms this means: All players listed that belongs to team that were always within their transfer limit will STAY on the list. All players listed by teams that have exceeded their limits will be removed from the transfer list. The teams can then choose to list those players again that they have a right to sell given the communicated transfer limits.

We are sorry for the "scare", but this way no players will be sold against the given rule, and teams that may have listed too many players by mistake today will have a chance to sell them with a small delay.

10-26-2022 Maintenance on youth and match archive

On Monday morning the 31:st of October we are doing maintenance on the databases for youth teams and archived data (like old match results).
We start at 07:00 until 10:00 HT-Time

When the archive is offline you're not able to transferlist or see match history for players, and you will not get correct data from old matches and stats.

10-9-2022 Application error on youth players

There has come up an issue regarding application errors on youth player pages. We hope to be able to fix this at some point tomorrow. It is no longer necessary to inform your Gamemasters about it.

As a workaround workaround you can use our mobile app or go to our mobile website (https://m.hattrick.org). We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

10-4-2022 Release notes 4th October

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• It is now possible to remove your additional teams from your previous teams list on your manager page if for some reason you no longer want to show off with it. Please note that a removal will be irreversible.
• After the final whistle when viewing a live match, players are no longer seen on the pitch. They may have gone to the dressing room, the club house or possibly home.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

9-2-2022 Friday morning downtime

This morning, the site was down for a few hours due to a database issue. The site was up again around 10.30 HT-time (CET). Transfers with deadline during the downtime, as well as transfers with deadline until 12.00, had their deadlines extended. We are sorry for the inconvenience. All systems are working again now.

8-25-2022 Ladder fairness update

We have changed the intervals of teams which can be challenged when you participate in a ladder competition. Ina ladder you can challenge teams above you, and as you progress upwards the numnber of teams you can challenge will always narrow. By design, there has always been certain bottlenecks in ladders where it becomes harder to find an opponent, since you are a poiunt where your selection is smaller while the teams just behind you still have a bigger selection. We have done a number of changes to make these bottlenecks less painful, primarily by adding more intervals, especially within the Top 200 positions in a ladder. We also fixed a bug which caused some teams with lower ranking to get smaller selections.

These bottlenecks have been especially noteworthy in the Anniversary Ladder competition, given the size of it and the fact that it operates at a higher speed.

Given this, we have also decided to extend the Anniversary Ladder. Teams that end at the top on the original finish date will receive their prizes, but we will also have anew end date at the end of 2022 - four more months in which everyone will get a chance to grab a new set of prizes

The fixes are already in effect, and are applied to all ladders.

7-22-2022 Dobbel opprykksbonus, trofeer og supporterbidrag for lag fra Hattricks Jubileumsliga

Grunnet en feil har noen HTAL-lag (Hattricks Jubileumsliga) mottatt opprykksbonus to ganger, doble trofeer og doble bidrag fra supporterne. Dette vil bli rettet opp på mandag, så vi råder deg til å vise varsomhet hvis du skal bruke av disse uventede pengene som har dukket opp på kontoen.

Vi beklager for de ulemper dette kan ha medført.

7-19-2022 HTAL upcoming seasons info

All teams will play in the same cup. There will be no divisional cup for division 7.

Only the first season for any new league is on neutral stadium. This is because teams don't have any rankings yet. So the upcoming season cup matches will have home and away teams.

The deadline is what counts for transfer limits, so if you put a player on the transfer list at the end of the season and with a deadline in the next season, this would count towards the limit of the upcoming season.

In the upcoming season the top 2 teams in division 6 will promote directly. And for div 7 the "usual" rules will apply. This will continue throughout the whole league, so next season the top 2 of division 5 will promote and so on, until they reach the top division.

By the usual rules we mean only the first position will have the chance to promote, best half directly (will replace positions 7-8 in division 6) and the other half plays qualifiers with teams in positions 5-6 in division 6.

7-12-2022 Release notes 12th July

The following fix has been released:

• We fixed an issue for when you were trying to save your training plans, it did not work because the spinner kept on spinning forever.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

7-11-2022 Promotion in HTAL

For this first season in Hattrick Anniversary League, all teams placed first and second in the lowest division will be directly promoted and receive the corresponding bonus. For this reason, we have deleted the qualification matches that were erroneously created for next weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

6-7-2022 Application error on youth players

Currently clicking on any youth player will result in an application error. We will try to solve this issue as soon as possible, but latest tomorrow morning when we have all hands on deck. There is no need to inform your Gamemasters about this. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

As a work around for now you can use our app (or (https://m.hattrick.org)) and fire or promote there.

Update: Fixed in the meantime.

5-23-2022 Youth and archive downtime

The server we use for youth teams and archived data (like old match results) is currently down. The hardware used for this database is not working as it should, and we are moving everything to a backup machine. This takes time, it can take up to 24 hours, but we hope it can be done sooner.
We are sorry for any issues this may cause for you as a user.

UPDATE 1500 CET: The recovery went faster than we hoped. Youth and archive pages should now be working again.

5-13-2022 Board Reserves calculations based on Training Week

Following user feedback, we have changed what days are considered when calculating how much the Board will retain after a player sale (something which only happens to so called "Gold Bar" players).

It used to based on the calendar week (Monday morning 06.00 am being the cutoff), but we will now instead use Training Week (with the training session on Thursday or Friday, depending on your league, being the start and end of the week). We agree with the users that this makes much more sense, since the considerations of how many minutes a player should play are directly aligned with training planning, and to have the two mechanisms follow different schedules is confusing. This change has now been implemented.

5-2-2022 New draw for HTAL Division Battles

Due to an error in the upcoming round of the Division Battles in the Hattrick Anniversary League, it was necessary to delete the matches for this Saturday and create new ones. We are sorry for this, but there was no way to solve the problem without recreating the draw. Any lineups already set will need to be submitted again. No other leagues are affected.

4-9-2022 Multiple league updates

Anniversary league series are looking funny right now since the tables have been updated multiple times. It looks like a purely presentational thing, so should not be a worry, and we are cleaning it up now.

3-26-2022 Saturday delay

We had a short downtime on Saturday afternoon, which caused matches to be delayed. We also stopped the transfer market and postpone some deadlines. We are sorry for this and hope the rest of the day will be event-free.

3-11-2022 Release notes 11th March

The following improvement has been released:

• Now Supporters can hotlist a prospect player with one click directly on the transfer page.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

2-28-2022 Issues with match replays

This weekend we had issues with the 20 match replays that are automatically shown to all Diamond Supporters, which were wrong in some cases.

We have fixed some of them and others had to be removed, but Diamond Supporters can still get them for free on the match page.

Purchased replays shouldn't have been affected.

Just to be clear, the issues happened only in the replay functionality, the match results weren't affected at all by this.

12-8-2021 Improved sponsor offers

Yesterday, we found that the fixed parts of the new sponsor contracts was not calculated in the intended way, and for this reason the formula was updated to increase it by around 5 % for all teams and contract types. This is now live on the site and has been applied to all sponsor deals, whether they have been accepted already or not.

11-30-2021 Lucky, yet unhappy?

We have added a setting that allows managers to exclude themselves from being handed a free promotion through the “Lucky Loser” mechanism. If you feel you are enjoying your current series too much or that you are not prepared to promote, activating this block ensures that you will never promote unless you have actually won your series. You will not be given one of the free slots that are sometimes given to runners-up if there is free space in the division above

11-21-2021 Duplicate player bug fixed

During Saturday matches the Greek league was affected by a bug that caused some players that had played matches to be duplicated in the team player list. The players were never "really" duplicated, but some records them were, and this caused problems on the site for teams owning those players. The bug was fixed during the evening and the duplicate records are now erased.

11-2-2021 Facebook Login not working

If you use your Facebook credentials to log in (or if know of friends trying to sign up using the same), please be aware this is not working at the moment. If you don't already have a "regular" sign-in (Username/Password) you can set this up by using the "Forgot Password" function on the site.

We are working on restoring the functionality, but since it depends on Facebook as well we can not give an estimate of when this may happen right now.

10-25-2021 Release notes 25th October

The following improvement has been released:

• In order to increase transparency on our forums, you can now see if a post has been deleted by its author or by one of our Hattrick officials.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

9-15-2021 Utbedringer 14. September

Følgende utbedringer har blitt gjort:

• Vi rettet opp et problem med flere av grafene i treningsrapporten var unøyaktige og viste feil verdier. Dette skal ikke lenger være tilfelle.

Som alltid har vi også gjort utbedringer i andre mindre feil og problemer for å forbedre din opplevelse av nettsiden vår.

9-10-2021 Old inconsistency removed from total player experience

We have removed an old inconsistency in the code, that unnecessarily capped the total player experience a team can achieve at 18.5, or “high magical”. This has been reported to us as a bug in the past, and also assumed by users to only have been a presentational “bug”, but the numbers shown were always correct and the full player experience was not used to calculate player events. Now this limit has been removed, which means higher team experience can be achieved and will be used in the match simulations as well.

8-26-2021 Changes to NT achievements

In the new achievement system we replaced the old achievement for being elected NT coach with a new one. The new one required coaches not only to be elected, but also to be reelected, to gain the achievement. In this way, we wanted to discourage achievement hunters from becoming NT coaches for the wrong reasons - we would force them to do a good job for their community, so they could get elected again. after much feedback from the community we realize that the better solution to drop this kind of achievement altogether. The new achievement, “The Nation Stands Behind You”, (which no one has been awarded yet, anyway) will disappear.

The achievement given for NT success, “National Treasure Hunter”, will also change. This will continue to exist, but will have a value of 0 points in the achievement score. Put another way, we are removing NT achievements from the achievement “competition” system, to ensure healthy motivations for everyone involved in the NTs.

Of course managers that have done well for NTs sin the past still want to show this off! We managed to recreate the “National Treasure Hunter” achievement for previous seasons, which means we have added this achievements for all managers that reached at least the semifinals in the past.

8-23-2021 NT Player and Team updates

Last Friday, we encountered issues with the player updates after the National Teams matches. As a result, the team updates were also delayed. We fixed the issue earlier today and everything is catching up. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

8-19-2021 Apache League and Cup participation

On Saturday, 21/08 at 15:00 HT Time, we will create the cup matches. This means that all teams that signup after that will not have guaranteed cup participation. If you want to participate in the cup, you should signup before that.

8-19-2021 NT Updates

There was a delay on National Team daily updates. The team spirit and team confidence updates ran 6 hours after the original schedule (around 09:00 instead of 03:00 HT time).

7-8-2021 Minor hickup

Because of a minor hickup, transfers had been temporarily stopped. Transfers with a deadline between 14:10 and 14:25 (CET) have been extended by half an hour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

6-18-2021 Missing flags

Recently we changed how flag collections are archived and in the process converting for some users this didn't go entirely correct and if you appear to be missing flags, then that is because.

The good news is that our Gamemasters can quickly fix this for you if you have been affected by this bug. All you have to do is to send them a message about it. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

6-9-2021 New match time for Masters on Mondays

Please note that for the rest of this season, all Monday matches in the Hattrick Masters will be played at 16.00 HT-time instead of the regular 20.00 kick-off.

This is done to prevent conflicts with the new National Team schedule.

2021-06-14 16:00:00 (NEW)

2021-06-21 16:00:00 (NEW)

This information has been sent out as a HT-message to all participating teams, in addition to being published as a SysInfo.

5-10-2021 Missing updates after the last Friday's NT friendly match

Last Friday, we had a few missing updates during the transition from the old NT system to the new one. We fixed the bug and made it sure that it won’t happen again next time. We worked on the actual missing data today and we have the following notes:

- From the player updates, we recovered the player Experience, the Goals and NT Caps statistics. The match will not be visible in the matches or the performance history.
- We sent the salary bonus to the owners of the NT players.
- We recalculated the Lineup Experience based on the starting formation of the match.

You will probably have a couple of missing events here and there, but the rest are just presentational. Thank you and we apologise for any inconvenience.

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• We fixed an issue where no fixtures were shown for the current season on the series page.

Accesskey varies depending on the browser, for Chromium browsers it's Alt, in Firefox it's Alt + Shift and could be other combinations in other browsers.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

4-22-2021 Downtime morning of April 22

Earlier today, around CET 10.30 our servers went down unexpectedly. The transfer market was paused shortly after, and we worked to get the system back up again which happened around 11.00 CET. All transfers were extended by 60 minutes. We apologise for the inconvenience.

2-8-2021 New match times on Americas Cup and NT daily updates

After the release of the new World Cup, we received feedback from several users that the Americas Cup match times are not convenient for the national coaches. The team spirit update was too close to the match which made it difficult to use the ratings predictor and the technically, different day of the match (Saturday 01:00) created an extra complication on U20 age eligibility. To improve this, and starting from Week 6, we move all Americas Cup matches from Saturday 01:00 to Friday 23:30 and also the daily NT updates (for all NT teams) from 00:30 to 03:00. We will change the daily updates next Monday, but you can already see the new match times for Friday matches.

2-1-2021 U20 CC matches delayed in Asia-Oceania

Today's matches in the Asia-Oceania Continental Championships will be delayed for a short while as we attend to a potential problem before it happens. We expect that the delay will be less than 20 minutes.

UPDATE: Problem solved. Matches are now underway!

1-18-2021 Wrong candidates in office, now expelled

The U20 elections closed this morning, and while the election results showed on the site were correct and using the new election rules, for a short while (around 5 minutes) the wrong candidates were handed the keys to the office. This was quickly fixed, those candidates were removed and the correct ones installed, and the underlying bug fixed. We are sorry for the confusion, and for the false given to these managers that, having experienced a brilliant but unexpected moment of glory, will now have to sink back into obscurity.

1-12-2021 Season Summary Email issue

At the start of each season, we send an email with the summary of your team's last season. A bug caused some of the languages to have a broken email text. If you use one of the following languages, you were also affected

English (US)
Bosnian
Türkçe
Íslenska
Ellinika
Indonesian
Belarusian
Azərbaycanca
Furlan

Tomorrow, we will resend those emails. However, some of our users might receive those emails twice, from the old and the new batch. There is no need to report this as bug to our Game Masters.

Thank you and we apologise for any inconvenience.

1-11-2021 Election bug fixed

This morning, elections started. One new feature this season is that additional team owners are now also able to vote in their “adopted” leagues.

However, a bug caused most of their early votes to not be registered. If you are an additional team owner and cast your vote before 11.00 HT-time, please check the page of your candidate and vote again if necessary.

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience!

12-8-2020 Archive maintenance part 3

On Monday morning 14th December we intend to finish our two year long archive project so we can continue to store match data in the future for all stats lovers. The archive will be down from 05:00 until 12:00 (CET).

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

We released today the scheduled update in the Match Engine about the Unpredictable specialty as announced in the MyHT last week.

We got reports that new youth leagues are stuck waiting for new matches. We are investigating and try to fix it as soon as possible, but the fix will be available probably tomorrow morning.

6-4-2020 Missing Global Ladder

We are facing a data loss in one of our databases and the Global Ladder, including all matches, have been disappeared from the website. We are working on the data recovery process to bring everything back. We cannot give you any estimation right now when the backup will finish, but we will keep you updated. Sorry for the inconvenience.

6-1-2020 Transfers extended

We had an unexpected downtime and all transfers from 18:14 HT time were extended by 60 minutes.

5-27-2020 A bug fix in Match Engine

Today, we released a bug fix in Hattrick's Match Engine where the special event "Unpredictable Own goal" was given to the wrong team.
The SE has more chances to be given to the team which has the greater number of Unpredictable wingers and forwards on field, but it wasn't. This bug is now corrected.

5-22-2020 Missing emails

There are currently some issues with our mails that are being sent to 'hotmail, live, msn and outlook' which we hope to have resolved by the end of next week. If you are trying to validate your email account and if you have been affected by this as well, you can validate your account with another email or with Facebook or Google.

Som alltid har vi også lansert andre små feilrettinger og forbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse på siden vår.

4-29-2020 Nye regler for autobud

Vi har gjort noen små endringer på hvordan autobud fungerer, der målet var å gi manuelle budgivere rang foran autobud. Hvis du legger inn et manuelt bud og det er et maksbud inne for samme verdi så vil du vinne budrunden, selv om autobudet var registrert før deg. Du vil også vinne budrunden hvis du plasserer et lavere bud enn maks verdi på autobudet, men differansen er for liten til at autobudet kan legge inn maksbudet.

Endringen er allerede implementert og publisert. Dette gjør også at man kan unngå situasjoner der brukere kunne undersøke et autobud lagt inn av en annen bruker, uten å faktisk risikere å registrere budet sitt.

4-3-2020 Lanseringer 3. april

Følgende forbedringer har blitt lansert:

• Vi har lagt til en knapp til kalenderen i Mitt kontor som fører deg direkte tilbake til nåværende uke hvis du har navigert deg minst to uker unna. Enten bakover eller fremover i tid.

Som alltid har vi også lansert andre små feilrettinger og forbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse på siden vår.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

11-28-2019 Lanseringer 28.November

Som alltid har vi også lansert andre små feilrettinger og forbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse på siden vår.

11-26-2019 ISP maintenance downtime

11-19-2019 Transfers Extended and Maintenance Downtime

11-12-2019 Matches rescheduled in Division Battles

10-31-2019 Nightly downtime

Last night we experienced some downtime from 00:30 to 01:59 HT Time because of a service interruption at our data center. As a consequence we have extended all affected transfers (around 400) from that period to end at some time this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

10-22-2019 On Monday's downtime

Our planned maintenance on Monday ran into problems, and we needed to keep the site offline for longer than we expected. As a result of this, we also extended transfer deadlines. Transfers with deadline between 13:34-17:30 were postponed by 8 hours, and transfers with deadline between 17:30-19:30 were postponed by 4 hours. After the site came up just after 19h, the forums and youth system have continued to be down. They should hopefully be up again during the night. Sorry for the inconvenience, but these maintenance windows are necessary to prepare for the new season.

6-27-2019 Web servers

There are some access issues with the web site right now, causing new connections to be sometimes denied while those on the servers can continue to use the game as they please. We have paused the trabsfer for now and will reopen it on the morning. Even if you get an error message when trying to visit Hattrick.org, you can try to access it on m.hattrick.org or directly on one of the web servers, such as www91.hattrick.org or www93.hattrick.org - tjis seems to circumvent the problem.

3-5-2019 Bug in Team Spirit updates for National Teams

A few weeks ago, we started investigating a bug regarding the team spirit (TS) updates of the National Teams. Users had realised that the TS drop in these updates were faster than usual. The bug was during on Sundays's update where the code would either be triggered twice (leading to two team spirit updates, one after the other) or to no update at all. The team spirit update is applied to all teams at once, so there was never any case that some National Teams had a missed daily update while others had a double drop. Now the bug is fixed and it is the second week the update was problem-free.

2-27-2019 Release notes 27th February

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• We have added the ability to find a specific mentor by their user name.

2-22-2019 Stamina training failure

We are currently investigating why the stamina training of this week didn't take place.

Update: We have found the problem and concluded that the stamina training did take place, but that any skill updates weren't presented to you. The bug itself has already been fixed, so that everything will be back to normal next week, however inserting the training events for this week will be done on Monday.

If you already want to check if your player had a skill update, then you can check this against the player performance history. If the player played a match during this training week, their stamina value will be stored there so you can compare.

2-12-2019 Release notes 12th February

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• Man marking orders will no longer be saved in default lineups (and we have also deleted all man marking orders that were saved in a default lineup before now). This does not affect regular lineups or saved (named) lineups.
• Youth avatars have changed so that they are no longer grey (except the background) but instead use the same colored avatars as the senior team, this to make it possible for to add the match kits everywhere for youth as well.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

2-6-2019 Release notes 6th February

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• An issue where the player's avatar mood on the transfer search results page wasn't the same as elsewhere - has been fixed.
• We now show the fan club changes in absolute numbers besides the percentual changes.
• Fixed a bug in matches when a Resilient player got injured, but because of his speciality he just got bruised instead.

As always we also release other minor bug fixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

12-13-2018 Cups issues fixed

The following Sapphire Cups have been affected from a bug yesterday.

România, Schweiz, Hong Kong, Kenya, Makedonija, Bénin, Tanzania, Comoros

Teams that supposed to be on the next round on Sapphire Cup were missing. We fixed the original bug and we recreated the next round with the correct teams. We will contact all the users that participate in the next round to inform them about missing match orders.

11-14-2018 Fikset problemene med påmelding til nye ligaer

Vi har nå løst problemet som noen brukere opplevde da de skulle melde seg opp til de nye ligaene i går. Dette gjaldt i hovedsak brukere med Platinum eller Supporter som hadde benyttet seg av kampanjetilbudet. Her er det vi har ordnet:

* 16 ukers-grensen for når du kan starte opp et ekstra lag har nå blitt fjernet. Det var dette som var årsaken til at brukere som allerede hadde et ekstra lag hadde problemer med å stenge et lag og åpne et annet. Denne grensen kan komme tilbake senere, men vil forbli fjernet gjennom denne kampanjen.
* Et fjerde liganivå har blitt lagt til i alle de nye ligaene, og de nypåmeldte har blitt flyttet til denne divisjonen.
* Ungdomslagene til de nye ligaene skal også virke nå.

Takk for din tålmodighet, og ha det gøy alle sammen!

11-6-2018 Kamptider i generasjonsmesterskapet

Kampene i generasjonsmesterskapet i dag tidlig ble satt opp til å bli spilt 4 timer senere enn det som var intensjonen. Årsaken er nå fikset og vi vil være tilbake til den opprinnelige kampplanen fra runde 4 og fremover.

11-6-2018 New Design, Foxtrick and opting out

As seen on My Hattrick, today we released a new design for player skills, the player ratings and the transfer search results page. These are changes that we believe will make Hattrick better and that will allow us to speed up development in the future as well, as we now have a similar way of displaying important info all across the site and our apps.

If you don’t like them, you have the option to stay with the old ratings and skill view. Go to your Settings page and choose “Classic” under Legacy settings, and things will stay as they were.

Also, we would like to mention that if you use the browser extension Foxtrick and have problems with the new design, this would be a good time to download a new beta version of Foxtrick. This new version handles the updated design quite well, even if some minor issue remains to be solved. The “Classic” design still works perfectly with Foxtrick.

10-29-2018 ISP maintenance November 1st

As our ISP will be executing maintenance to their equipment, some downtime may occur between 02:00 and 06:00 (CET), November 1st.

Any transfers during downtime will be extended.

10-28-2018 Transfers extended

During the night, we had an issue with the load balancing functionality on the web site, causing logins to the site to not work (the mobile apps were still working through). To not cause unfair transfer dealings, transfers were stopped and once the problem was solved, deadlines extended by 10 hours. Everything is working as it should again.

9-3-2018 Endringer gjort 3.September

Følgende reperasjoner og utbedringer har blitt gjort:

- Vi har forbedret designet på banen i kampfremvisningen.
- Nå vises også oppførsel når vi viser spillerens rating i kampframvisningen og laganalysen.

Som alltid har vi også gjort flere andre små feiljusteringer og utbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse av spillet.

6-22-2018 Forbedret detaljer for skyggekamper

Det som er nytt:

• Gjennomsnittlig antall hjemme- og bortemål inkluderer ikke lenger straffesparkkonkurranser.
• Hvis en kamp spilles med cupregler er det en annen bar som viser V/U/T ratioen for resultater etter 120 minutter.
• Det er nå flere detaljer med ekstra statistikk.

5-21-2018 Release notes 21st May

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• We have renewed the transfer compare page. Amongst others we now show the speciality of the player.
• Instead of after 5 seasons, you should be able to give your players' avatar a makeover after only one season.
• The Hall of Fame now also includes the caps from players for their National Teams and the number of matches played for the Hattrick Masters.
• Users are now able to follow the HTs without giving up a or multiple bookmarks for them. You can set this in your forum preferences if you are interested in what we share with our community. This feature is available to both Supporter and non-Supporters.

As always we also release other minor bugfixes and improvements to improve your experience on our site.

5-7-2018 Den planlagte nedetiden denne morgenen

Idet vi skulle til å få Hattrick tilbake online denne morgenen, etter den planlagte nedetiden, opplevde vi et problem med ett av våre støttesystemer og vi måtte forlenge nedetiden med 35 minutter.
Overganger mellom 05:00 og 07:30 (CET) ble forlenget med 5 timer.

4-27-2018 Downtime and extended transfers

This morning, we had error on some pages and we had to close the site for a little less than an hour to refresh database indexes. We are up again now and transfers have been extended by 2 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience!

4-14-2018 Slow Hattrick and Application Errors

The last few hours we encounter performance issues and application errors around the website. We are aware of the situation and we will let you know with more information when we have the details. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: We found the problem and the performance now should be back to the regular speed. Thank you all for the reports

4-4-2018

Følgende reparasjoner og utbedringer har blitt gjort:

• Vi har reorganisert informasjonen om pengebeholdningen på finanssiden.
• Vi har fikset en bug i lagringen av standardoppstillingen for ikke-supportere.
• Serietabeller blir ikke lenger tømt like etter at seriekampene er ferdigspilt.
• Brukere kan melde seg opp til Stage igjen, plattformen hvor vi tester nye funksjoner for spillet vårt.
• Vi har også oppdatert manualen for Hattrick International.

Som alltid har vi også gjort flere andre små feiljusteringer og utbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse av spillet.

3-30-2018 Trophy delays again

This evening we again had a delay in the scheduling of the next round of the Generation Trophies. This is now sorted and the next round will run as planned at Saturday morning (2 AM HT-time). This delay was caused by another issue, this time by the Supporor Week Trophy, which failed to start as planned, but is now on track too. We hope that this is the last of the Easter eggs for this week :) Our apologies again for these issues!

3-29-2018 New promotion status for Hattrick International

Due to some database issues, we had to rerun the promotion process for HTI (qualification-relegation matches). Please be sure that you have up to date lineups for the upcoming matches. As a side note, from now on, the promotion rules for HTI will be the same as the rest of Hattrick leagues except the Division III and Division II (next season), since the upper division has only bots.

3-28-2018 Update Generation Trophies

After some further issues, we will reschedule round 2 of most Generation trophies for tomorrow evening, starting at 18 HT-time. These matches will be visible from Wednesday morning. Trophy of Legends and Heroes of 2018 Trophy will continue according to the schedule communicated yesterday evening. We are sorru for the continued delay!

3-27-2018 Delayed Hero Trophy matches

Because of an issue, no fixtures have been created for the second round of the Hero Trophy. A fix will be applied in the coming hours, but because of the problems, these matches will be delayed by 8 hours.

3-26-2018 Delayed Generation Trophies

This weekend, there was a problem with the scheduling of the matches for this week's Generation Trophies,. This has now been fixed, but the schedule of the tournaments will change as follows:

Trophy of Legends: The first matches were played as expected, however the second round was never scheduled. This second round will now be played on Wednesday morning instead, starting around 2 AM (HT-time).

All other tournaments will have their first round played on Tuesday evening, starting around 6 PM (HT-time), and the second round will be played on Wednesday morning.

In other words: ALLl tournaments will be 24 hour delayed from their original schedule, up to and including the finals.

We are sorry for this and hope you all have an enjoyable competition despite this delay!

3-8-2018 Oppdateringer gjort 8.Mars

Følgende reperasjoner og utbedringer har blitt gjort:

- Vi har fikset et tilgangsproblem for mentorer som gjelder tilgangen til siden for treningsberegning hvis lærlingen er ikke-supporter.
- Fra nå av vil vi håndtere ting på en bedre måte når en motstander ikke har spilt kamper med en gyldig oppstilling i det siste i kampordresidens "se over" fane og på siden for laganalyse.
- Platinum og Diamantsupportere har ikke lenger noen begrensninger for antall nominasjoner til klubblegender.
- I turneringer, stigekamper og duellkamper vil vi nå også informere om været.
- Spillere på benken kan nå settes som mannsmarkører. Dette kan gjøres i "se over" fanen på kampordresiden, og ordren vil aktiveres når spilleren kommer på banen.
- Du kan nå se hvordan dine assistenttrenere bidrar til bakgrunnsformen i oppsummeringen på ansatte-siden. Vi har også lagt til effekten i tabellen i kapittelet om ansatte i manualen.
- I tabellen for sjansefordeling (etter kampen) vil ikke-taktiske langskudd heretter telles som "Annet."
- Vi har oppdatert manualen med flere avsnitt om mannsmarkering. Du kan finne dette i kapittelet "Oppstillingen: Det grunnleggende".

Som alltid har vi også gjort flere andre små feiljusteringer og utbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse av spillet.

2-8-2018 Fikset feil ved skyggekamper

Om lag 700 skyggekamper i tidsperioden mellom 31.01.2018 og 05.02.2018 har blitt påvirket av en itern test vi gjennomførte de aktuelle dagene. Vi har rettet opp feilen og har også oppdatert alle de berørte skyggekampene med de korrekte verdiene. Verdiene blir bufret og trenger noe tid før de er tilgjengelig på alle våre servere. Takk for din forståelse.

2-7-2018 Oppdateringer gjort 7.Februar

Følgende reperasjoner og utbedringer har blitt gjort:

- Vi har fikset et problem hvor siden for lagets treningsberegning viste andre verdier enn treningsberegningen for den spesifikke spiller.
- Når du fjerner en nominasjon til klubblegender vil denne plassen nå bli åpnet igjen. I tillegg skal det nå være ordnet slik at kallenavn på spillere vises over alt.
- Vi har også gjort et par utbedringer på kampordresiden, inkludert at vi har rettet opp problemet med at valg av kaptein og dødballtaker forsvant når man satte opp straffeskyttere, samt noen Firefox-spesifikke designforbedringer.

Som alltid har vi også gjort flere andre små feiljusteringer og utbedringer for å forbedre din opplevelse av spillet.

1-10-2018 Ny trekning i Hattrick Masters

Vi hadde noen tekniske problemer under den siste oppdateringen for Hattrick Masters, og en rekke lag fikk satt opp flere kamper i den neste runden. Vi gjorde trekningen om igjen for å fikse problemet. Hvis du allerede har sendt inn dine kampordre, bør du gjøre det igjen. Takk for din forståelse.

12-15-2017 Gammel kampmotor

Alle kamper (unntatt ungdomskamper, stigekamper og turneringskamper) vil bruke den gamle kampmotoren frem til mandag morgen. Vi utførte denne endringen så landslags- og U20-landslagskamper ikke ville få noen problemer med de nye spesialhendelsene.

12-15-2017 Problemer med ungdomskamper

I går hadde vi noen problemer med ungdomskampmotoren som førte til at mange kamper ble spilt med feil oppstillinger, noe som også påvirket treningen. Denne feilen ble rettet i går. I dag har vi prøvd å finne en måte å fikse dataene og treningen, men dessverre har vi ikke vært i stand til det. Dette betyr at kampene kommer til å forbli slik de var da de ble spilt. Treningen har ikke gått tapt, men den har kun blitt gitt til de som fikk spilletid med de feilaktige oppstillingene. Vi beklager på det sterkeste disse ulempene.

12-14-2017 Lansering 14. desember

I dag lanserte vi forbedret lastingstid (ikke noe spinnende hjul) for kampordre- og laganalysesidene.

12-9-2017 Fikset: Foreløpig ingen kamper i neste Generasjonscup-runde

Neste runde av Generasjonscupene har ennå ikke blitt opprettet. Vi undersøker grunnen til dette og vil fikse det så snart som mulig.

Vi beklager ulempene dette medfører!

Red.: Vi har opprettet kampene for neste runde og vil holde et øye med prosessen gjennom helga for å se om det skulle skje igjen.

12-4-2017 Nye kamptider for Generasjonscupene

På grunn av det store antallet deltakere i Generasjonscupene måtte vi endre på kamptidene og legge til en 5 minutters pause mellom turneringene. Alle de nye kamptidene er tilgjengelige på hovedturneringssiden.

Vi beklager ulempene dette måtte ha medført!

11-23-2017 Kort nedetid

Kl. 14:00 (CET) vil det bli en kort nedetid i anslagsvis 20 minutter grunnet vedlikeholdsarbeid med vår database-server. Overganger med budfrist under denne nedetiden vil bli forlenget.
Oppdatering kl.14:20 (CET): Alle overganger med en budfrist mellom 14.03 og 14.20 har blitt forlenget med 30 minutter.

9-28-2017 Changes on NT & U20 matches

Last week, we ran a poll on the National Coaches forum about the duration of the closed window before the matches. The option to increase the “fog of war”, as it is called in the fora, won by 65%. Starting next week (6th October 2017), all related data of NT and U20 teams will not be available in public for 8 hours instead of 4 hours.

9-22-2017 Fixed bugs and improvements on the match orders page

Today, we released a new version of the match orders page with the following fixed bugs and improvements:

1) Bug: You couldn't remove a player from the set piecers tab
2) Bug: Fixed several minor presentational issues on lineup, team orders and review tab
3) Improvement: Potential skill wasn't visible on Youth players if you had enabled the text only from the site preferences. You can see it now as a background skill bar
4) Improvement: We gave another try to the hovering player card behaviour. Now when you hover on a player, there will be a fixed card on the bottom of the list.
5) Improvement: We added the fixed player card on team orders tab as well

If you have any issue with the changes, you might need to clear your browser cache first.

9-18-2017 Downtime September 18

This night and morning Hattrick experienced downtime due to maintenance work carried out by our network provider. The work was rescheduled from a previous time, and was supposed to take less than one hour. But something went wrong and we were down for much longer than that. The fact that this was a rescheduled downtime led to our failure of alerting you ahead of time that this was happening. We are sorry for this, and of course also for the downtime itself, even though we had less ability to control this.

On the brighter side of things, transfers did not process during this downtime. All transfers with deadline after 02.08 HT-time are still open, and we will extend their deadlines. Transfers with deadlines between 02AM and 09AM will be extended by 12 hours, transfers with deadlines after that by 6 hours. We will also extend the deadlines of transfers happening between now and 15.00 HT time by three hours, to make sure users have time to make it back to the site and bid.

There might be some things on the site that are delayed in addition to this, such as league tables which are now in a queue to synch up. But most things should work as they are intended.

Welcome back!

9-13-2017 Lagordre-problem på mobil-appen.

For tiden er det noen problemer med å re-posisjonere spillere på lagordresiden gjennom mobil-appen, mens på desktop-versjonen fungerer det som det skal. Vi vil fikse dette problemet i morgen.

9-8-2017 Release notes 8th September

The following fixes and improvements have been released:

• We have release many improvements for mobile as well as other improvements and general bug fixes based on your feedback regarding the new match order page.
• We have decreased the initial load on the team analyzer for Supporters from 16 to 8 weeks. The maximum possible for Supporters remains unchanged at 32 weeks.

8-28-2017 Oppdateringer på den nye kampordresiden

I løpet av helgen har vi samlet tilbakemeldinger rundt hva vi kan gjøre for å forbedre brukeropplevelsen på den nye kampordresiden. Vi har jobbet med det i dag og planlegger å slippe en ny runde med forbedre neste uke. Spesifikt:

Forbedringer:
- Vi legger til muligheten for å sortere på alle ferdigheter.
- Ferdighetsnavnene vises nå som tekst når musepekeren holdes over ferdighetssøylen.
- Hvis du har en standardoppstilling eller hvis du allerede har sendt inn ordre til en kamp, vil du komme inn på kampordreskjema i fane nummer to ("Oppstilling") når siden lastes første gang. Hvis en spiller i den lagrede oppstillinger mangler (hvis han er solgt eller sparket), åpnes fane nummer én i stedet, og du blir bedt om å laste inn en annen oppstilling eller starte på nytt.
- Vi fjerner lønnen fra det detaljerte spillerkortet for å få et litt mindre rotete visuelt inntrykk.
- Spillerkort vil utvides automatisk når du holder musepekeren over dem i komprimert modus. Men for å slå på denne oppførselen, må du bevege musen mot høyre og holde pekeren over form-meteret. På denne måten kan du bruker spillerlisten uten å automatisk utvide spillerkortene, ved å scrolle ned på venstresiden, over spillernavnene, eller du kan velge å gjøre det med utvidede spillerkort, på høyresiden. Hvis utvidede kort er slått på og du flytter en spiller ut av listen, slås det av, for å redusere inntrykket av at grensesnittet "hopper rundt". I tillegg fjerner vi effekten av å holde musepekeren over spillere på banen eller benken.
- For å gjøre prosessen med individuelle ordre lettere å forstå, legger vi til en skyggebakgrunn på spillerne som er valgt. Vi inverterer også pilfargene. Den nye bakgrunnen bør gjøre kantene mellom spillerne klarere og redusere risikoen for å slette spilleren i fokus ved en feiltakelse.

Feilrettinger:
- Sortering på draktnummer virket ikke på ungdomslag.
- Sortering på kategori gav forskjellig rekkefølge på kampordresiden og spillersiden.
- Treningsmodus virket ikke hvis midtukekampen din var en cupkamp.

6-1-2017 Problem med Paypal

For øyeblikket er det ikke mulig å betale for produkter i butikken gjennom Paypal. Vi undersøker med betalingsformidleren vår hvorfor dette skjer og prøver å løse problemet så snart som mulig.

Hvis du har anledning, ber vi deg vennligst velge en annen betalingsmetode til vi har løst dette problemet. Vi beklager ulempene dette medfører.

5-28-2017 Nedetid lørdag

Lørdag kveld var siden utilgjengelig i omtrent en og en halv time, mellom 22.30 og 23.45 CEST. Dette var grunnet et strømbrudd i fasilitetsanlegget som sørget for at hele nettverket gikk ned.

Hattrick-serverne var ikke påvirket, men siden vi ikke selv kunne nå siden, var vi ikke i stand til å stoppe overgangsmarkedet under nedetiden. Da siden kom opp igjen, forlenget vi kommende overganger med 90 minutter for å gi brukerne en mulighet til å komme seg inn på siden igjen.

Vi beklager ulempene dette kan ha medført for deg!

5-9-2017 Forsinkelser i cup-kamper

Dessverre står vi overfor alvorlige forsinkelser i cupkampene. Vi vil se på problemet og prøve å løse det så snart som mulig. Vi ber om unnskyldning for ulempen.

Oppdatering: Alt skal fungere fint nå. Det trengs bare litt tid for å ta igjen kampene.

4-28-2017 Premiepenger for Hattrick International

Vær klar over at enkelte lag som ble med i Hattrick Internatioal denne uka har mottatt premiepenger som skulle deles ut til laget de tok over for. Hvis du har mottatt premiepenger for forrige sesong uten at du deltok i denne, vennligst ikke bruk disse pengene. Er skaden allerede skjedd, følg med for å få oppdateringen på hvordan vi kommer til å justere pengesummen din, samt eventuelt spilleroverganger. Vi kan også komme til å slette bud i pågående budkriger i noen tilfeller.

OPPDATERING: De feilaktige premiepengene har nå blitt inndratt fra de aktuelle lagene. Siden de fleste lagene ikke hadde brukt disse ekstra pengene, vil ingenting spesielt skje for dem. Vi har funnet et lite antall lag som har brukt mer penger enn de skulle ha til rådighet, og disse vil bli tilbudt en sjanse til å avbryte noen av kjøpene for å unngå å gå konkurs.

4-25-2017 Retting av spillerkarakterer

I lang tid har det eksistert en bug i hvordan vi presenterer de gjennomsnittlige spillerkarakterene, hvor slutten av kampen var vektet mye tyngre enn tidligere tidspunkter i kampen. Dette er grunnen til at mange har trodd at karakterene var fra kampslutt, når de i realiteten var ment å skulle være et gjennomsnitt. Nå har vi endret det til faktiske karakterer fra kampslutt, noe som betyr at karakterene jevnt over vil oppleves litt lavere, grunnet kondisjonseffekten.

4-25-2017 Aktivering av Gullbilletter

Vi har mottatt flere rapporter om aktiveringen av Gullbilletter og tildelingen av lag. Enkelte brukere klarte ikke å aktivere billetten, men dette vil bli fikset i løpet av få minutter. Hvis du fortsatt har problemer, vennligst prøv igjen om litt. Andre brukere rapporterte om at de hadde mistet tilgangen rett etter at de mottok det nye laget. Dette vil også bli fikset i løpet av dagen, men beklageligvis vil du måtte søke om lag på nytt. Til sist vil vi nevne at ingen av Gullbillett-lagene vil rykke opp til divisjon V, uavhengig av serieplasseringen til det datastyrte laget de erstatter.

3-23-2017 Lansering 23. mars

Følgende rettelser og forbedringer har blitt lansert:

• På lagets cupside kan du nå se hvor mange runder som gjenstår.
• Noen bugfikser for HT Live og Laganalysen.
• Vi fikset et problem relatert til å lagre lagoppstillingen i offisielle kamper.

3-20-2017 Kampforsinkelser i helgen

I løpet av helgen opplevde vi forsinkelser i ungdoms-, serie og turneringskamper. Vi klarte å fikse noen av dem, men vi fant først kilden til problemene i dag. Alle kamper er fikset nå, men ungdomskampene vil trenge noen timer på å ta igjen alt.

3-16-2017 Lansering 16. mars

Denne gangen har det i hovedsak blitt utført endringer i bakgrunnen, hvorav ytelsesforbedringer i Laganalysen er den viktigste.

3-10-2017 Kampordre-bug

Denne uken hadde vi en bug hvor lagrede ordre for bortelaget kunne føre til en tom innbytterbenk for hjemmelaget, i tillegg til å gjøre alle planlagte innbytter ugyldige.

Denne bugen påvirket KUN kampordre i Turnerings-, Stige- og Duellkamper – ingen andre kamper ble påvirket, så ingen Serie- eller Cup-kamper.

Bugen forekom kun for kampordre som ble lagret på Stage-serveren mellom onsdag 17:00 CET og torsdag 10:00 CET. Alt i alt ble noen få hundre kamper påvirket.

Hvis du spiller Turnerings-, Duell- eller Stigekamper den kommende uken, vennligst påse at kampordren ser korrekt ut. Den faktiske bugen har nå blitt rettet, og alle nye kampordre som lagres (både på Stage og andre servere) vil fungere som normalt.

2-17-2017 Endring i "Rask og pasning"-spesialhendelsen

Forrige uke fikset vi en gammel, rapportert bug i kampmotoren, angående "Rask spiller går på løp og sentrer til en annen spiller"-spesialhendelsen. I motsetning til de andre offensive hendelsene, kunne denne bare avsluttes av en angrepsspiller. Vi testet koden vår denne uken, og nå kan både vinger og spisser motta ballen.

1-16-2017 Forsinkelse av planlagt nedetid

Denne morgenen tok vi ned siden for å utføre planlagt vedlikehold, hvilket dessverre tok mye lengre tid enn forventet. Vi hadde ikke noe annet valg enn å vente til oppdateringen var ferdig før vi kunne åpne siden igjen. Nå er vi i det minste tilbake, og alt virker som normalt. Overganger har blitt utsatt hele 24 timer på grunn av denne nedetiden. I tillegg har lag som havnet i divisjon V i stedet for VI i Hattrick International blitt flyttet dit de hører hjemme.

Nyt den nye sesongen!

1-14-2017 Bekreftet bug i Hattrick International

Vi har hatt flere rapporter om at nye lag i Hattrick International har havnet i divisjon V, når alle skulle ha begynt i VI. Dette er en bekreftet bug og vi kommer til å flytte alle lag til VI så snart som mulig. Fra nå av kommer alle nye lag til å havne i VI. Vi vil prøve vårt beste for å løse denne før mandag, men vi ber om deres tålmodighet inntil da.

12-16-2016 Problemer med databasen

På grunn av problemer med databasen var nettsiden treg eller ikke mulig å nå. Disse problemene har nå blitt rettet. Overganger med budfrist mellom 12:34 og 13:22 CET har blitt utvidet med 90 minutter.

Vi beklager ulempene dette har medført.

12-5-2016 Lansering 2. desember

Følgende rettelser og forbedringer har blitt lansert:

• Du kan ikke lenger bli med i en ungdomsliga hvis du har treningskamp for nær inntil første seriekamp, for å unngå tap av trening.
• Vi har endelig fikset tvilling-bugen!
• Problemet med at å bli med i utfordringspotten noen ganger gir feilmelding uten grunn, er fikset.
• Problemet med treningsrapporter, hvor de noen ganger unnlot å rapportere en ferdighet eller rapporterte det samme flere ganger, er fikset.

• Vi informerer nå også på laghendelser om når du aksepeterer en ungdsomslagsspiller og når du forfremmer en spiller.

11-26-2016 Manglende finansrapporter

Vi har funnet feilen som gav manglende finansrapporter for noen lag. Problemet oppsto etter den faktiske finansoppdateringen, mens kun de presentasjonelle rapportene ble generert. Som et resultat av dette, er mengden penger på konto korrekt for alle lag. På mandag kommer vi til å jobbe med å hente tilbake de dataene som mangler i finansoversikten. Vi beklager ulempene.

11-12-2016 Forsinkede kamper

Vi har hatt forsinkelser på kamper i dag, fra og med i Taiwan kl. 05:00. Alle ligaer med kamper etter dette har blitt påvirket. Vi har nå funnet grunnen til at forsinkelsene skjer, og vi er på vei til å fikse problemet. Takk for forståelsen.

11-9-2016 Lansering 9. november

De følgende rettingene og forbedringene har blitt lansert:

• Vi har lagt til ulike temaer til menyen for å bytte klubb, selv hvis du ikke har et klubbtema til vanlig.
• Treningshendelser på Mitt kontor har blitt omstrukturert, slik at de vises for begge dine lag. Vi har også omstrukturert Laghendelser-boksen slik at de er gruppert etter dato, vist etter lag og mulige å scrolle i.
• Hvis ditt stadion har vært vertskap for kamper som har blitt spilt på nøytral bane, slik som landskamper, vil du nå kunne se dette på stadionsiden. Vi har også gjort statistikken over stadionbruk tilgjengelig for alle.

10-28-2016 Varsler i nettleseren

Det er nå mulig å aktivere varsler i nettleseren for kamper som du følger i nye HT Live. Gjør du dette, vil du bli varslet om nye hendelser når du surfer i en annen fane eller hvis du har nettleseren i bakgrunnen.

Ønsker du å benytte deg av dette, kan du måtte gi tillatelse til det flere ganger, siden vi trenger én tillatelse per server. Ønsker du det ikke, er det nok å takke nei én gang. En mer detaljert annonsering kommer neste uke, men vi ønsket å gi et lite forhåndsvarsel siden denne funksjonalitet allerede er i bruk på nettstedet.

10-11-2016 Lansering 11. oktober

De følgende rettingene og endringene har blitt foretatt:

• Speiderne på ungdomslaget: Når du søker etter alle slags spillere, vil det være en viss sjanse for at du får en svært talentfull spiller. Du vil fortsatt kunne finne gode spillere på spesifikke søk, men det maksimale ferdighetspotensialet vil være lavere.
• Stadion i nøytrale kamper: Det har vært mange tilfeller hvor stadion i nøytrale kamper ikke har vært optimalt sammensatt, eller nylig har fått færre seter. Siden dette ikke er noe de deltakende lagene kan gjøre noe med, gir vi nå publikum ekstra midlertidige seter i disse kampene, slik at vi kan få flere tilskuere enn det maksimale antallet per setetype.

10-6-2016 Applikasjonsfeil og forsinkede oppdateringer

I dag har vi fått flere meldinger om applikasjonsfeil rundt omkring på siden og forsinkede lagoppdateringer. Vi har funnet problemet og rettet det. Ting holder på å hente seg inn igjen, og du vil snart være i stand til å ha det gøy med laget ditt igjen.

9-8-2016 Tapt trening

På grunn av problemene med "Unknown Player" i går, mottok dessverre ikke spillere som spilte midtukekamp i Bolivia, Angola og Tanzania trening, da dataene deres gikk tapt og vi ikke har muligheten til å gjenopprette dem. Påvirkede spillere som også spilte helgekamp vil naturligvis motta trening for den kampen. Vi beklager ulempene dette har medført.

9-7-2016 Ukjente spillere i tirsdagens kamper

I noen kamprapportene for gårsdagens kamper vises spillere uten navn, og heller som "Unknown Player". Dette påvirker ikke på noen som helst måte kampen, resultatet eller treningen, så vennligst vær tålmodig inntil vi har muligheten til å rette denne presentasjonsfeilen.

8-30-2016 Lansering 30. august

Følgende utbedringer og forbedringer er nå lansert:

• Tilskuertall vises nå for alle.
• Avkrysningsboksen på kampsiden vil nå huske ditt siste valg om hvorvidt turneringskamper skal vises.

Bortsett fra dette har vi lansert diverse små bug-fikser og forbedringer rundt nye HT-Live.

8-16-2016 Lansering 15. august

Følgende feilrettinger og forbedringer er nå lansert:

• Rettet lojalitet i head-to-head, som tidligere ble vist feil.
• Du vil ha få full tilgang til spillestil i oppstillingssimulatoren uten taktikkassistent.
• Vi har lagt til muligheter for forumlenker til landslag.
• Mentorer kan nå se speiderrapporter for ungdomslag.
• Når du søker etter en ungdomsserie, sorteres nå resultatene etter første kampdato i stedet for navn.

8-10-2016 Oppdatering på når landskamper, U-20-kamper og Hattrick Masters-kamper simuleres

Som du kanskje vet, kan ikke kampordre sendes de siste 20 minuttene før kampstart. Dette gjør vi for å ha tid til å simulere alle kamper. Tidligere har riktignok landskamper, U-20-landskamper og Hattrick Masters-kamper blitt simulert kun noen få minutter før kampstart. Fra nå av vil også disse kampene simuleres like lenge før som andre kamper.

8-1-2016 Tilleggstid

Alle stige-, duell- og turneringskamper fra og med 14:46 (CET) i dag vil ha mulighet for tilleggstid ved kampslutt. I tillegg vil kamper som går til ekstraomganger få en fem minutters pause før ekstraomgangene så spillerne får sjansen til å få igjen pusten.

7-12-2016 Oppdatering omkring forsinkede kamper og ukjente spillere

I de foregående helgene har vi hatt forsinkelser på kamper og spillere uten navn, hvor de i stedet har blitt kalt "Unknown player".

I går brukte vi hele dagen på å utføre analyser og optimaliseringer for å unngå at dette skjer igjen.

Vi gjør mange generelle forbedringer på nettsiden, men først og fremst mens kampene spilles. Vi vil nå ha noen klare på lørdag for å se hvordan forbedringene våre virker og å oppdage eventuelle andre problemer "live".

Dette er altså høyeste prioritet for oss for øyeblikket, og vi gjør vårt ytterste for å sørge for at det ikke skjer igjen.

Vi beklager ulempene.

7-11-2016 Problemer med innlogging

Denne morgenen opplevde noen brukere problemer ved innlogging grunnet et serverproblem. Vi stoppet overgangsmarkedet så snart vi kunne.

Nå har problemet blitt løst, og alle overganger som skulle ha funnet sted mellom 07:30 og 09:30 HT-tid har blitt forlenget med 2 timer.

Vi beklager ulempene.

7-9-2016 Forsinkede kamper og ukjente spillere

Dessverre har vi problemer med HT Live, og med flere ligaer med forsinkede kamper. Vi prøver å rette disse så snart som mulig. Det er ikke nødvendig å rapportere disse problemene til GM-ene.

I noen ligaer har ikke tabellene blitt oppdatert, og spillernavnene i kamprapportene fra i dag vises ikke. Alle spillere kalles i stedet "Unknown Player". Dette har sammenheng med forsinkede oppdateringer som vi er nødt til å kjøre manuelt. Dette påvirker ikke kamper, resultater eller trening på noen måte, så vennligst ha tålmodighet med denne presentasjonsfeilen inntil vi har mulighet til å rette den.

Vi beklager alle ulemper dette har medført.

7-5-2016 Ny trekning i Hattrick Masters

Vi hadde noen tekniske problemer under den siste oppdateringen i Hattrick Masters, og flere lag endte opp med flere oppsatte kamper i neste runde. Vi gjennomførte derfor en ny trekning. Hvis du allerede har sendt inn kampordre, bør du gjøre det igjen. Vi takker for forståelsen.

6-22-2016 Nedetid tidligere i dag

Tidligere denne morgenen hadde vi et teknisk problem med en av våre servere, og siden var nede. Vi stoppet overgangsmarkedet så tidlig som mulig, og vi har forlenget alle overganger mellom 07:30 og 10:00 HT-tid med 3 timer. Vi takker for forståelsen.

6-11-2016 Vi har serverproblemer det jobbes med...

Vi har mottatt rapporter om Applikasjonsfeil ved innlogging. Enkelte av serverne våre oppfører seg unormalt. Vi jobber med dette, men inntil det er i orden, prøv å oppdatere siden noen ganger om du støter på problemer, slik at du havner på en annen server.

6-9-2016 Lansering 8. juni

Kondisjon vil fra nå av regnes ut korrekt også for spillere som startet senere enn første omgang når kampen går til ekstraomganger. Vi gjør i tillegg mange andre små utbedringer for å bedre din Hattrick-opplevelse.

Fra nå av vil vi også vise når ditt landslag spiller kamp, samt flere andre nyvinninger angående landslag, nevnt i forrige leder.

5-21-2016 Ukjente spillere

I noen ligaer vises kamprapporter for ferdigspilte kamper fra i dag uten spillernavn, og alle spillere kalles i stedet "Ukjent spiller". Dette er på grunn av noen forsinkede oppdateringer som må kjøres manuelt. Det har ingen innvirkninger på spillet, resultatene eller treningen på noen måte. Vennligst vis tålmodighet med denne presentasjonsfeilen inntil det er mulig for oss å fikse den.

4-19-2016 Friendly matches delayed

Unfortunately, we have issues with HT Live and friendly matches from around 18:20. We are trying to fix it as soon as possible. It is not necessary to inform your Game Masters about problems related to this.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Update: The problems have been solved now and any unfinished matches will catch up in the coming hours.

3-15-2016 Release notes 15th March

For the Match order sandbox the default team orders (subs) are now loaded upon page load. Also we updated training estimation to take the assistant trainer "new" effect into account.

We fixed the banner report functionality and at the same time made it possible to report the side aquare banner.

2-23-2016 Transfer market was down

Yesterday, about 03:15 at night, our Internet connection went down because of planned maintenance work at our Internet service provider. A week ago, we added a feature which automatically stops player transfers when we have technical problems. However, the part of the feature that was meant to alert us about this did not work as planned. We have started all the transfers now and you should be able to make transfers again.

2-22-2016 Match archives restored

The match archives has now been fully restored, which means all historic match data should now be available to read on the site. We will now be able to work on the recreation of pending previous club money, which we hope will be sorted out on the next few days at most.

2-18-2016 [Update] Match archive restore done, but...

We have now performed the backup restore of the missing match archive data, and it went well. We are still not finished though, since we are talking about 2 billion lines of text that now has to be reinserted into our archive database all over again. This will take approximately two days (a little over 50 hours remaining right now).

When it is done, we will try to complete all delayed "previous club" transactions. Also, all match related data should then be back to normal again. Thank you for your patience.

2-17-2016 Update on match archive

We are still working on restoring the match archive for Seasons 56 to 60, which are currently unavailable. This could still take a few days to complete. While the backup is restored, previous club money will not work, however we plan to try to to run these transactions retroactively when the match archive is back up. We cannot guarantee that this will work perfectly, we haven’t done it before, but we will do our very best to make sure no team loses out because of this. Mother club money continues to works as usual. We hope for your patience while we resolve this.

2-16-2016 Match archives on the loose

During the pre-season cleanup the match archive for seasons 56 to 60 went missing. We are now working to restore them from backup. This will have absolutely no effect on any game mechanics in Hattrick (including training) and it poses no issues for the seasons that is about to kick off, but, for a few days this data will be unavailable to read on the web. We may be able to get some of the more recent data available in just a few hours, if so we will make it available immediately.We are sorry for this, of course, and we hope it will be resolved shortly, without causing you too much concern.

2-10-2016 Downtime and transfers

Yesterday Hattrick was down for several hours due to technical problems at our ISP which began around 18.30 and which were not solved until around midnight. The downtime was out of our hands but we are very sorry for the fact that it happened, and especially for the delays in games to those users who participate in our Supporter Week Trophy.

What did go wrong on our end yesterday, however, was that we did not stop the transfer engine as we normally do when we have downtime on the site, which means many transfer auctions finished despite there being no bidders around to bid on them, resulting in losses to the selling teams. We have always had the policy to not compensate in cases like this, because we have not had the means to make a fair estimate of the loss. But this time we would like to change policy and look into compensating the users that have lost out. We have recently taken into use a new algorithm for analysing market prices and we think this can help us reach a fair (if not perfectly fair) compensation. We do ask users involved to be patient as it could take few days before everyone receives any money.

This will apply to all transfers where the player in question had any bids when the site went down, and where the bidding finished while the site was down. We are excluding very low value players (less than 10 000 EUR) from compensation.

We are also working on a solution for transfers to automatically suspend when there are unexpected downtime on the site. Until this new functionality is fully calibrated, we may see the transfer market suspend even when there is no "real" downtime, but hopefully we can have fairly soon have this as a security measure in place so that what happened yesterday won't happen again.

12-28-2015 Downtime

Because of some problems during maintenance in our Data Center, it was not possible to connect to our site for almost an hour this morning. All transfers with a deadline between 11:29 and 12:35 HT Time have been extended by 90 minutes.

12-19-2015 Financial update problem

We received reports regarding the financial update and a higher cost of staff salaries. We are investigating it.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

EDIT: The issue has now been solved, all team economies are now restored and corrected. Our apologies to the users involved.

12-16-2015 Release notes 14th December

We released a fix for showing the position of your team(s) in older editions of the Supporter Week Trophy.

From now on, to avoid mistakes when setting match orders, a warning will be issued for any substitution/order where conditions are not set at the time the order is submitted.

11-24-2015 Hattrick Masters rounds pushed forward

Because of a calculation problem with the number of participants of the Hattrick Masters, we have one participant too many for the second round. To correct this problem we will push forward all upcoming rounds with half a week. Also we will pick 2 random teams that had a 'free pass' to advance to the second round and who will play against each other on Thursday in order to decide who advances to the next round. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

11-11-2015 Downtime this morning

Due to some problems during maintenance in our Data Center, it was not possible to connect to our site this morning. In cooperation with our Data Center support we worked hard to restore service as soon as possible and managed to get the site back online shortly before noon. We were able to stop the transfermarket some 20 minutes after the site went down and have now extended all transfers with a deadline between 09:34 and 12:45 HT Time with 4 hours.

There are however still a few problems remaining that we are working on fixing. The main issues being application errors, not being able to watch matches live and also our mobile platfrom is not running as well as it should.

We would also like to inform you that while we are busy solving these problems, youth will be down and we estimate that it will be back up some time during the evening.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

11-3-2015 HT Live problems 2

Unfortunately once again we have problems with HT Live. We are trying to release a fix for this as soon as possible. It is not necessary to inform your Gamemasters about problems related to this.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Update: The problems have been solved now and any unfinished matches will catch up in the coming hours.

11-1-2015 "New staff" bugs now fixed

We have fixed a number of bugs that appeared during in the first week matches, and which are all related to the new staff member changes.

Tactical Assistants (TA) and Style of Play: Many teams had their matches simulated as if they had a neutral coach, when in fact they expected either an offensive or defensive style of play due to their coach and TA settings. This is now changed so that the correct coach is always applied before any TA choices kick in.

Spokespersons: The Spokesperson has been removed and the effects of a Level 5 spokesperson should now be active for all teams in Hattrick permanently and free of charge. We solved an issue with this implementation that caused fan mood not to react the way it should have after the league games.

The fixes are now live since an hour or so, and as far as we can tell, all reported issues have been taken care of. But we will keep a close eye on this and also follow up these emergency fixes tomorrow to make sure things are running as they should. We apologize for this bumpy start to the season.

10-28-2015 HT Live problems

Currently there is a problem with HT Live not functioning. We'll try to fix this problem as soon as possible.

It is however still possible to follow up on the progress of the match (but not in the most ideal way), by going to the matches page and open your current match from there.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

Update 18:10 HT Time: The service has been restored.

10-21-2015 Forbedringer angående Supportermesterskapet

Vi har gjort en endring på hvordan rangeringen beregnes. Tidligere ble den beregnet akkurat som en vanlig liga. Først poeng, deretter målforskjell og så videre. Dersom to eller flere lag har samme antall poeng nå, vil lagene med flest antall seire før den første uavgjorte eller tapte kampen bli rangert først. Etter at denne rangeringen er gjort, vil målforskjellen tas i betraktning.

10-8-2015 Friendly pool improvement

We have made some improvements to the friendly pool, which means it will now be easier to get a match.

8-20-2015 Ballbesittelse (2)

Sist måned informerte vi deg om en ny versjon av kampmotoren der vi hadde begynt å vise den faktiske gjennomsnittlige ballbesittelsen i løpet av hver omgang i en kamp i stedet for å vise ballbesittelsesprosenten på slutten av hver omgang.

På grunn av noen misforståelser ønsker vi å presisere at for tiden har dette kun blitt brukt i turneringskamper, stigekamper og enkeltkamper. Fra starten av neste sesong vil dette bli innført i alle kamper, inkludert serie- og cupkamper.

8-10-2015 Maintenance

Because of server maintenance, the forum, youth and the match archives may be temporarily unavailable during the coming hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Update: Unfortunately as not everything went smoothly, we were forced to extend all transfers with their deadline between 16:28 and 18:00 HT Time by 200 minutes. We apologize for this.

8-7-2015 Lansering 7. augst

I dag har vi lansert en fin ny funksjon i terminlisten, der du vil kunne se tabellen etter hver serierunde for inneværende sesong.

8-5-2015 Delayed youth matches

We are looking into a problem with youth matches being delayed. There is no need to inform your Gamemaster about it.

Update: Problem has been solved and matches played.

8-5-2015 Serverproblemer

På grunn av noen problemer med serveren har vi stoppet overgangsmarkedet tidligere denne morgenen. Problemene er løst nå, og vi har gjenåpnet overgangsmarkedet igjen. Alle overganger fra kl 08.18 til 11.18 HT-tid har blitt forlenget med 200 minutter.

Oppdatering kl 12.10 HT-tid: Problemene har tilsynelatende ikke stoppet umiddelbart, og vi ble tvunget til å forlenge en stopp i overgangsmarkedet igjen. Denne gangen er alle overføringer fra kl 11.18 til 12.10 HT-tid blitt forlenget med 60 minutter.

Vi beklager eventuelle problemer dette har medført.

7-21-2015 Ballbesittelse

Nylig lanserte vi en ny versjon av kampmotoren. I denne oppdateringen begynte vi å vise den faktiske gjennomsnittlige ballbesittelsen i løpet av hver omgang av en kamp i stedet for å vise ballbesittelsesprosenten på slutten av hver omgang.

7-7-2015 Oppdatering av selvtillit

Noen brukere har reagert på det faktum at med den nye måten oppdateringene av selvtillit fungerer, er det ingen oppdatering mellom reset for den nye sesongen og første cupkamp. Det nye systemet fungerer som det er ment å gjøre, og mens vi beklager hvis denne detaljen ikke har vært klar for alle, vil det bli på denne måten, og det vil ikke være noen kompensasjon eller ekstra oppdateringer. Brukere som har en lavere selvtillit enn de hadde håpet på før første kamp i ny sesong, vil snart ta igjen selvtilliten gjennom spilte kamper og innleide idrettspsykologer, og disse mekanismene fungerer akkurat som vanlig.

6-18-2015 Release notes 18th June

Today, along with the Supporter Week Trophy, we have released a new default lineup type for Supporters, to be used in Tournament, Ladder and Single matches if no other match order has been placed.

5-6-2015 Release notes 6th May

Today we have a few releases concerning mobile phones. Now if you want to login to Hattrick from your mobile phone, you get automatically redirected to m.hattrick.org. There you can then find a link to our desktop site and upon clicking giving you the ability to permanently prevent automatic redirects in the future.

Also in the reminders page, we have a new option now, which makes it possible for you to receive push reminders in your phone.

4-28-2015 Challenging problems

Currently we receive many reports from users not being able to arrange friendlies. We are looking into the problem and hope to solve this as soon possible. It is no longer necessary to report this to your GMs. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update 23.30: We have now located and fixed the problem and you will be able to arrange friendlies again.

4-25-2015 Connection issues

We have been facing some problems with our servers earlier today which made it impossible to connect through the regular site. Access to our site has been restored. Please note that we have disabled login to our http site for the time being. Instead please login through (https://www.hattrick.org)

Transfers were stopped shortly after the connection problems started and all transfers between 18:23 and 19:30 HT-Time have been extended by 90 minutes.

Please note that transfers with a deadline between 19:30 and 19:45 HT-time have been extended by 30 minutes.

1-21-2015 Downtime

This morning Hattrick has been down for several hours due to a problem with our Internet Service Provider (ISP). For the same reason we have not been able to stop the transfer market and therefore there will be no transfer extensions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

1-19-2015 Release notes 19th January

From now on you will be able to see how many of your players have an individual instruction on the training page for Senior teams. You should now be able to find all players matching the criteria when searching for experience and leadership on the transferlist, no matter their other abilites. You will also be informed when you have received an invite for a youth league.

There were also a bunch of other applied fixes that didn't make it to today's release notes.

1-9-2015 Release notes 8th January

We fixed a bug where you could see that substitutes were going to happen when watching a 'Live match'. We also fixed a problem where attendance was not shown in walkover matches. And from now on you can also see which of your players have a red card in the lineup page.

Furthermore various other fixes that didn't make it to these release notes have been applied in order to give you a better Hattrick experience.

1-5-2015 Cup problems

Last week the cup games in some leagues were not played correctly. Unfortunately as a consequence a small number of teams (less than 48) have lost training. This training will not be recuperated, we are sorry to say.

12-11-2014 Shop orders not activated

During the past few weeks we have had some problems with several (not all) shop orders that were paid by bank transfer not being activated after we received payment confirmation by Global Collect. We have fixed this problem now.

There may however be some orders still left unhandled. Should your order not have been activated within 5 business days, please contact Customer Service and they will help you with seeing to it that your order gets activated as soon as possible.

Orders made after 8th december have not been affected by this problem.

11-25-2014 Small change to coach hiring

When hiring a new coach, the system will now check your actual finances right now rather than the cash your club had on the latest financial update. This small change has been done to make the coach system work closer to user expectations, as well as making it a bit safer to use for clubs that are low on funds.

9-8-2014 Youth team activation problem

Currently there is a problem with youth teams not being activated. We aim to have a fix available tomorrow latest. There is no further need to inform your GMs about this problem.

Update: Problem has been solved.

8-25-2014 Release notes 25th August

From now on, you can see how much money has been moved from and to your board reserves at the finance page. Apart from this we also fixed the set pieces bonus not being taken into account at the team training estimation page.

8-19-2014 Release notes 19th August

Today we have released a bunch of stuff that you may like. You can now see all league names in your own language. In case you do not like it, then you can change it here (/MyHattrick/Preferences/ProfileSettings.aspx)

Now all shapes, patterns and colors are available for non-supporter in the logo editor. Symbols are the only thing that is not available to non-supporters now.

Further we have released fixes to the ratings predictor which only used half of the home grown bonus. Youth league admins can now leave their league without being forced to delete them and we have fixed issues when activating your youth academy for the first time.

8-18-2014 Wrongly reported skill drops

Today some of you may have noticed an excessive amount of skill drops in your training report. Many of these reports were incorrect and we have fixed the issue, but we're still working on correcting those reports. This is only a presentational issue, so there is no need for alarm. Your players have been updated correctly.

Update 13:30 HT Time: All reports has now been corrected.

8-12-2014 Cup attendance improvements

We have fixed a bug that caused a low attendance when playing against street teams. We also improved the attendance in divisional cups so that it will generate more income than international friendlies.

8-8-2014 Tweak to new cup system

We have made a tweak to the cup system in order to prevent that the consolation cup will consist of mainly street teams. This means that losing teams in round one of the Emerald Challenger Cup and round one of the Ruby Challenger Cup will move on to the Consolation Cup. Originally only losing teams in round one and two of the Emerald Challenger Cup would continue in the consolation cup.

8-5-2014 Disturbance of the services

Tonight we suffered from some problems which caused several pages from becoming inaccessible and which forced us to stop the transfers. The problems have been taken care of now and service will continue as it did before. Transfers between 22:13:06 and 22:45:00 HT Time have been extended by 60 minutes.

7-22-2014 Weekend friendlies and qualifiers

We would like to remind everyone to check your line-ups for the weekend friendlies as they will use the friendly lineup by default, whereas you might want to use your league lineup instead.

As of this season you will now also find the upcoming qualification matches on your series page. This will help you to see in a blink of an eye which teams in your series have a qualifier scheduled.

6-26-2014 Tournaments fix

Today we have released a fix for a problem where we were charging 2 credits to Supporters when creating or restarting a Supporter free tournament. We have refunded the affected users and in that case you should find a notice about this in the credit usage log.

6-9-2014 Updates on the Manager Network

Today we have fixed some bugs for the Manager Network, and also added two new things:
- When a request has been sent out and accepted, the user who made the request will receive a notification about this in their Dashboard
- It is now possible to add a Shortcut to the Manager Network. If you have modified your default shortcuts in the past, you need to add this new shortcuts manually in your Preferences page (/MyHattrick/Preferences/ShortCutSettings.aspx). Everyone else will see the Network icon by default.

6-5-2014 Release notes 5th June

Today we have added ability to search by any specialty in the transfer market.

5-26-2014 Match engine fix

About half a year ago we applied a fix to the match engine for Tournaments, Ladders, Preparation and single matches. If you add a substitution or order change to a player on the bench that order will be executed as soon as he steps on to the field, where previously the order wouldn't be executed. Since a couple of weeks this fix is also being applied to all other matches.

5-7-2014 Release notes 7th May

As of today we will filter out all tournament, ladder and single matches from the latest matches tab when previewing an upcoming match that is not a tournament, ladder or single match.

5-6-2014 Unexpected downtime

Hattrick unexpectedly went down earlier today because of database problems. Transfers were stopped almost right away and all transfers between 14:18 and 20:00 HT Time have been extended by 10 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

4-25-2014 Release Notes April 25

We've removed the advanced newbie tutorial that was introduced in the autumn. After thorough analysis, we found it was not improving the stay-rates for new users. This means new users in Hattrick will have a first experience that is more in line with what most users in the game today had when they started, and which is also much more in line with how they game is really played. We will look at other ways to improve the game experience for new users instead.

4-22-2014 Release Notes April 22

Public Forum users

It is now possible to sign up for Hattrick without also getting a team to manage. This "light" registration is mostly intended for people that wants to participate in our forums but who are not yet ready to take part in the game. Also, the limited registration will only be available for users who reach Hattrick through our public forum pages. We don't expect to see a huge impact of "forum-only users" for now , but we just wanted to point out that they do exist and that they commit to the same forum conduct rules as everyone else.

4-15-2014 Training formulas not correctly shown

We have spotted some issues in formulas relating to the Assistant Coaches in the new staff system. Currently, the training effects received from Assistant Coaches is not correctly shown in the manual. It was also incorrectly shown in the Training Estimation tool (a Supporter feature), but this bug has now been fixed. The manual will be updated with the correct numbers this week.

4-13-2014 Youth match and Facebook login problems

We are currently investigating problems with youth matches not running and not being able to login through Facebook.

Update 21:10 HT Time: Youth matches are running again. Expect delays until tomorrow morning.

Update 9:07 HT Time: Facebook login has been fixed.

4-11-2014 Bob no longer goes to the bank

It will no longer be possible to get the achievement 'Met Bob at the bank'. Those who already have the achievement will keep it, but lose the points for this achievement.

4-9-2014 Liten reparasjon i kampmotoren

I går fikset vi en liten bug i kampmotoren vedrørende spesialhendelser.

Det hendte en sjelden gang i blant at et lag kunne få flere spesialhendelser enn det burde ut ifra ballbesittelsen.

Dette er nå blitt fikset, gjeldende fra og med denne ukens treningskamper.

4-9-2014 Transfers stopped

We've temporarily stopped transfers because of an urgent network maintenance from our provider that might cause the site to become unavailable.

We will restart them once everything is stable.

UPDATE: Now we've started transfers again, everything should catch up soon.

3-27-2014 Release notes 27th March

We have done a major change in the way we present banners and which hopefully will make browsing much faster for non Supporters. It should also fix some of the problems we were having with banners.

HT press articles are public now and can be accessed without login.

3-24-2014 Release notes 24th March

We have made a couple of improvements on the ratings.

1) The timeline looks slightly different. There are now 2 parts of 45 minutes (and 90 minutes if the game went to overtime), one before break and one after the break. To clarify this, there is a small divider to indicate these breaks. Finally we made it slightly narrower.

2) For live ratings we fixed the ratings shown at the beginning of the second half.

3-19-2014 Forum ignore function available to everyone

Today we have made the possibility to ignore certain users on the forums available to all users (should you have the desire to do so). Previously this was a Supporter only feature.

3-17-2014 Release notes 17th March

Starting from today's matches, you will always be able to see who is the set pieces taker. Before it was only available on the "Average", now it will be available on the minutes as well.

3-15-2014 Nedetid denne helgen

23:55 - Vi har for øyeblikket (og siden rundt kl 15:00 på lørdag) hatt store problemer med tilkoblingen til nettstedet. Alt har gått som normalt i bakgrunnen, og alle kamper og oppdateringer har vært gjennomført som de skulle.

Oppdatering (00:30) - Problemet vi hadde med vår ISP er nå løst. Overganger med budfrist mellom lørdag kl 22:55 og søndag kl 11:00 er utsatt tolv timer.

Igjen beklager vi ulempene som problemene har medført!

3-3-2014 Release notes 3rd March

We have removed the tournament restrictions for Supporters whose Supporter runs out before the tournament ends. This means that you can join a tournament without having to pay credits as long as you are a Supporter at the time you join the tournament, even if your Supporter will run out the next day.

Further we fixed the average match ratings for youth matches.

2-21-2014 Konkursendring

Vi har gjort en endring i hvordan konkurser fungerer. Fra nå av vil innkomne bud på spillere tas med i betraktningen, og klubben vil unngå konkurs om den har mottatt bud på spillere som er store nok til at man vil få gjelden under kontroll.

2-10-2014 Release notes 10th February

Here a few small additions:
- We increased the number of HT Press articles shown per page from 5 to 10.
- You can sort HT Press articles by views, likes and comments as well.
- Ongoing matches and old matches will now use the "new" match report page, this means the end of the old match report page.

1-31-2014 No youth matches being generated

We are looking into a problem where matches are not being generated for new youth leagues.

Update: Matches are being generated now.

1-27-2014 Release notes 27th January

This week we see a few Match analysis fixes: when you mouseover the highlights on the right, this will highlight the corresponding event in the report. Youth matches are now also shown in the new match pages.

If you have avatars is enabled, then you will now see player avatars instead of the shirts on the match order form. From now on we also show your player performances if you were confronted by a walkover.

Further we have increased the width of the simple skin.

To finish off these release notes we can mention that we earlier finally fixed the problem of the youth scouts not finding talents.

1-26-2014 Delayed matches in Germany and Poland

We are looking into a problem with delayed matches in Germany. You no longer need to notify your GMs about it.

Update: Matches have caught up now.

1-19-2014 Delayed financial updates

We are looking into a problem with delayed financial updates in South and Central America. There is no need to contact your GMs about this.

Update: The problem has been solved now.

1-2-2014 Release notes 2nd January

A few nice additions to kick off the new year with:
- you are now informed about any unsold players through the news ticker when the deadline passes
- in the clubnews we now link to a new Supporter or if he quits supporting you
- in the historical standings table, the teams currently in the series are now bolded
- we have added the user name at the page of supported teams

And of course we wish you all a happy New Year!

12-23-2013 Ingen talenter?

Det er tydeligvis fortsatt et par juniorspeidere der ute som ikke klarer å oppdage et talent hver uke, slik vi lovet i forrige nyhetsmelding. Hattricks Fotballforbund (HFA) vil ta tak i dette og gi speiderne det gjelder et lite lynkurs. Vi vil holde dere oppdatert.

12-13-2013 Flinkere talentspeidere på ungdomslaget

De siste dagene har talentspeiderne vært på et fagseminar som har gitt dem nyttig kunnskap om hvordan de skal finne unge talenter. På grunn av dette kan speiderne nå garantere at de alltid vil kunne tilby et talent til vurdering når du ringer dem. Tidligere hendte det stadig vekk at de ikke klarte å finne en eneste spiller i løpet av uken, men dette vil ikke skje fra nå av.

12-11-2013 Bug fikset i kampmotoren

I dag har vi fikset en bug i kampmotoren som brukes i Turnerings-, Stige-, Øvings- og Duellkamper.
Hvis du legger til et bytte eller en reposisjoneringsordre som gjelder en spiller som sitter på benken, så vil disse endringene gjennomføres når han kommer på banen. Tidligere ble ikke disse ordrene gjennomført.

11-28-2013 Disrupted services

Because of our data center doing some redundancy tests today, we were unfortunately faced with disruption of some of our services including the transfers. The problems have been solved now. No transfers were extended and all sold players should soon find their way to their new owners if they haven't arrived already. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

11-18-2013 Extended transfers

Due to a server problem we erroneously extended transfers. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

11-9-2013 Delayed financial updates

Currently we are facing a problem with financial updates not running as they should. We are looking into the issue, but right now we cannot tell when things are back to normal. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update 03:25 HT-time: Problems have been solved. We will continue to have delays until the match engine has caught up.

11-7-2013 Fixed substitution issues

We have fixed an issue where planned substitutions in the dying minutes of the extra time were not executed. So if you want your set pieces star to come on the pitch in the 119th minute, the referee will no longer stop him from doing so.

Also in individual cases some substitutions got delayed and executed later than planned. We also solved this problem.

10-14-2013 Release Notes 14th October

We fixed a problem where incorrect data was shown on the bookmark statistics page. Additionally we will now show the correct number of online users in a region.

Chapter 4 in the manual saw a small update regarding walkovers which have their own section now. Last but not least from now on we inform you if your transferlisted players have not been sold.

10-4-2013 Small glitch in the Hattrick Masters draw

Today in the Hattrick Masters draw for the third round, there was a small glitch that caused 3 extra matches to be scheduled.

This has been fixed now, but the affected teams should make sure to review their match orders in case they submitted them for the wrong match.

10-1-2013 Transfers extended

All transfers that had a deadline between 14:00 and 00:00 HT time have been extended by 720 minutes.

Transfers with a deadline between 00:34 and 01:00 HT time saw another extension of 60 minutes.

9-10-2013 Release notes 10th September

As already announced in our latest editorial we have now removed the 'Offerwalls'.

9-5-2013 Release notes 5th September

Today we go back in time with the updated Hattrick History with six more seasons added.

We applied many fixes related to CHPP and solved a forum application error for users without a team.

8-27-2013 Release notes

Today we released an often requested feature, being the possibility to sort players by wage and which made us naturally also add the wage to the player overview.

We fixed the head to head match link for tournament and ladder matches. Some texts that we missed earlier have been localized now.

Sending match orders for one team while having changed to your other team no longer gives you an error message. Instead the match orders are being submitted and teams are switched back again.

8-23-2013 SMS Text Message System Down

The SMS mobile phone text message notification system is down because the account that Zattikka was using has been closed by the SMS distributor. The system will continue to be down until at least Monday 2 September, and maybe longer.

8-5-2013 Problems with push notifications solved

Lately we've been having some problems to send push notifications to iPhone-devices. This was caused by an expired certificate. Due to Apple's problems with their developer center we've not been able to renew that until now. Today this was fixed and you should from now on receive push notifications as expected.
We've also fixed an issue with the push notifications for Android devices. This only affected a small portion of our users. If you've been among those that have had problems with push notifications before you should also receive them as expected from now on.

7-22-2013 Delayed ladder and tournament matches

Due to some incorrectly scheduled matches, many ladder and tournament matches have been delayed during the weekend. The issue is now resolved and the matches have been played. We apologize for the delay and for the poor information during it.

6-13-2013 Downtime Thursday afternoon

The site was down because of a database server problem for almost 1,5 hour this afternoon. Transfers have been extended after the downtime.

6-10-2013 Hattrick Masters delayed

We're experiencing a delay with the Hattrick Master matches. We're currently investigating.

Update:
The Hattrick Masters matches are now running. Sorry about the delay!

6-7-2013 Release notes

In today's code release there is one thing that stands out:

- An option to hide/show tournament matches (including ladder and single matches) on the match page. Just uncheck if you don't want to see tournament/ladder matches.

5-13-2013 Performance issue

Due to performance problems we were unfortunately forced to take down the site for approximately half an hour around noon HT-time today. Transfers with a deadline between 11:42 and 12:15 HT-time have been extended by 1 hour.

5-7-2013 Cup draw problems

A cup draw problem as well tonight, as some teams have not gotten any opponent in their cup match. We will look into this first thing in the morning (and yes, it may mean that we will have to re-do the cup draws).

Update May 8th 11:55: All affected cups have now been fixed (cup draw has been remade in all affected countries), and the problem has been solved for future cup draws as well.

5-7-2013 Tuesday evening downtime

Problems with our web servers caused the site to be inaccessible for about 2,5 hours Tuesday evening. The root to these problems have now been located and fixed.

Transfers between 19:43 and 22:25 HT time have been extended by 3 hours

4-29-2013 No WO in friendly matches

There will be no walkover matches in friendlies from now on. In case a team doesn't have enough players on the pitch when the match starts, a bunch of people that just happen to be in the neighbourhood will make sure the match is played anyway.

Basically, it will work just as it already does for youth teams, but for senior teams this will only happen in friendlies.

With this, we will also change the rules for additional clubs and allow clubs with the same manager to play friendlies against each other.

4-15-2013 Manual updates

The manual has been updated with two clarifications in the Tactics chapter:

- About counter-attacks, a clarification when the tactical penalty is applied (you have to lose midfield before the penalty is applied to obtain any tactical counter-attacks).

- New phrasing in the tactical skill section, regarding that the effect from tactics also depends on how good the players on the pitch are.

Please note that these two changes may not have been updated in your local language version yet, but if not then your language version will be updated soon.

About moving promoted/demoted teams in Season's end
From now on we will move all promoted and demoted teams to their new series after qualification matches have ended.

4-8-2013 Problems with second club registration

Heavy usage of the registration form for applying for a second club caused the site to run very slow for about 30 minutes today. We wanted the listing of leagues to show up-to-date information about number of available slots, but the number of simultaneous loads of this data was too much. The problem got worse with everyone trying to refresh the page when it loaded slowly, causing even more loads of this data.

In order to solve it we needed to add a cache that caches the data a few seconds. The downside of this is that the numbers shown in the list might be a few seconds old, but this is necessary for the page and the site as a whole to run efficiently.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience these problems caused. In hindsight we should of course have had the cache from the start, although all our testing and measuring showed that it should not be needed. Our lesson learned is that next time we will choose an approach that plays it more safe rather than trying to show absolute correct information.

Edit: For the first hour of registration you also got an error when choosing Canada, Bolivia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia or South Korea. Our deepest apologies to all users affected, and especially to users in those countries who because of this could not apply at all for the first hour (as your own league is chosen per default in the dropdown).

4-8-2013 Second club registration numbers

Showing exactly how many available slots for all leagues (and keep that updated accordingly) on the registration page made the site slow. As a temporary solution we've turned that off and show fixed numbers instead.

This means that the number you currently see on the registration page is not correct, and there may me more (or less) spots than what's currently shown.

But if your application for a certain league/country is accepted (and you're able to update or remove your application), you've secured a spot. And if there isn't any available spot left in that league, your application will not go through.

3-8-2013 Release notes

There's been a busy week in the Hattrick headquarter, with the release of the new Supporter tiers and the new shop. But apart from that we've also released quite a few fixes and other things during the week:

- Marking a HT-Mail as unread now moves it to the new messages folder.
- Fixed a small bug related to series switching in the season end
- Some few users could not remove a Supporter from their list, now fixed.
- Fixed a bug in e-mail reminders (causing them not to work).
- Fixed a bug in youth match player orders, they're now visible after match as it should be
- Non-Supporters can now see player faces in the lineup page
- WO games now show your team attitude for that match
- Matches won by WO is no longer included in the series stats calculation

2-23-2013 Delayed Teamupdates

We've experienced some problems with the team updates during the night and day today. We have fixed the problem and the match engine are working on catching up. Meanwhile we may see some delayed matches.

2-18-2013 Release notes

Some fixes and stuff for you today:

- We added loyalty to Head to head (pre-match analysis).
- Forum posts by ignored users don't appear as "posts to me" anymore.
- Fixed flag collection tabs, for visually impaired.
- Type of player order change (sub, swap or behaviour change) is now visible in Player Orders.
- A problem with refresh/show bid history buttons on transfer listed players (only worked once for some users) is fixed.
- Fixed a problem with the "Any" option in the Youth League search, it only showed results from your own region. It now shows results from all countries/regions.
- Minor bug fix in default match orders for different matches, if you now set your default lineup from a cup or a friendly match - the default option is now that it will be saved as your default cup (or friendly) order.

1-31-2013 Release notes

Today we released a fix for a problem where non-Supporters were not able to see their fanclub's name in the head-to-head overview.

1-28-2013 Facebook login working again

Logging in (and signing up) with Facebook is now working again. The problem with the proxy server has been fixed.

1-25-2013 Friday evening downtime

We had experienced slowness and problems with our servers during Friday evening, causing downtime for about 3 hours. It turned out to be a problem with a proxy server causing the problems, so we had to take it out of the system until we can have a closer look on it (which will we do after the weekend).

Because of this, logging in with Facebook will unfortunately not work during the weekend.

Transfer deadlines during the downtime/problems have been extended.

1-23-2013 Delayed Teamupdates & Forums acting up

We have had several performance issues on the site this evening, which we have tried to handle as they have come up. Unfortunately this led to cup games in some leagues to be delayed, as well as to slo forums at times. This should be less of a problem now, but there could be some delays on team updates as the server catches up. We are sorry for this and wish you an otherwise enjoyable start to Season 51!

1-22-2013 Where's my club?

It seems we have a bug this morning with clubs being displayed as old clubs, and not active clubs as it should be. We're looking into this.

Update: This problem is now fixed (since around 8.30 HT-time). Some teams are now however displayed as located in foreign regions (regions not part of your country). We're looking into that.

Update 10:45 HT-Time: The region problem has been fixed now. Currently we are facing one more related problem. Transferlisted players are not showing up on the transfer page. We are working on a fix for that.

Update 13:45 HT-Time: All problems should have been solved now.

1-21-2013 Release notes

Today we released an improved transfer search. When you're searching the transfer you can not only specify the age by years, but you'll also be able to specify by days (you'll need to select advanced filters).

1-17-2013 Swwapping problem

Right now we are looking into a problem with swapping leagues and hope to be able to launch a fix for the problem shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Update 11:20 HT-Time: The problem is solved now and everyone who experienced problems before should be able to try to swap again.

Update 14:10 HT-Time: We have applied another fix as we still received reports that our previous fix did not work for everyone affected.

12-10-2012 Downtime

Hattrick was down for around 40 minutes this morning because of database problems. Transfers with a deadline between 10:56:55 and 12:00 HT-Time have therefore been exteneded by 90 minutes. We apologize for the unexpected interruption.

12-4-2012 Sponsors mood fixed

The sudden sponsor mood drop has now been fixed, and the sponsors are now as happy as they should be again.

This problem was purely presentational.

12-3-2012 Transfer search change

We didn't just release a major update of Supporter today, we also released a quite nice change to the Transfer search page.

From today on you will search the whole transfer by default when doing a transfer search. So, no need to define whether you want to search for deadlines within 2 hours (and that box has also been removed).

The search result is however limited to 100 players now.

12-3-2012 Sponsor mood dropped?

We're received reports about a sudden sponsor mood drop for many users world-wide. It looks like it's only a presentational problem, but we will look into it nevertheless.

11-20-2012 Release notes

Quite a lot of stuff in this release:

- Mail character limit is increased 4000 characters (was 1000).
- The match type icons in the match result/rating page (top right) is now linked to the corresponding series or cup round.
- We have highlighted Supporter features on the site for our non-Supporters, to make the features included in Supporter more visible and overall to make it easier to see what Supporter has to offer.

11-9-2012 Training updates delayed!

We are having a delay on training updates in several countries. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Update: The problem was fixed and training has caught up. Everyone now received their complete training update.

11-8-2012 Release notes 8 November

Today we see the release of the 'My account' box where you can keep track of how many credits and days of Supporter you have left. We have also highlighted Supporter features, so you can easily see what is included in the Supporter package and what is not.

11-1-2012 Faster Android app

We have made a bunch of speed improvements to our Android app. An update with these speed improvements included are now available on Google Play.

11-1-2012 Release notes

The box to stop adding your team automatically to the pool is back, after been missing for a week. Included in today's release is also a fix for non-Supporters to opt-out from challenges (friendlies and Single matches), for some reason it didn't work after the release of single matches.

10-23-2012 Youth match delays

We are currently looking into a problem with delayed youth matches. It is no longer necessary to inform your GMs about it.

Update 13:03 HT Time: We have solved the problem, matches are catching up now.

10-23-2012 Short downtime

It was necessary to take down the site for a short period to do some urgent maintenance. The transfers were stopped during this time and all transfers until 10:30 HT Time have been extended by 2 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

10-5-2012 Skill drops update:

We have discovered and fixed a bug that caused drops to be bigger than intended on titanic and et levels. This fix will be applied from now on, but it can't be made retroactively (so there's nothing we can do about the drops that happened this Monday).

Generally about skill drops, the rule "the higher the skill, the bigger drop" is still valid.

10-4-2012 Cup match problems

We are currently experiencing huge delays with cup matches. We are looking into the problem.

Update 04:12 HT-Time: We have localized the problem for tonights delays with the cup matches. Matches are catching up now, except for Cup matches in Colombia for which we will provide a fix later today.

Update: 12.14 HT time: The Match Engine has now caught up, and the issue with Cup matches in Columbia has been fixed.

10-3-2012 Database hick-up

A little after 14h we experienced problems in one of our databases. Unfortunately we had to take the site down in order to fix it. We stopped the transfermarket while the site was down.
The site is now back up and running, the transfermarket has been restarted and all transfers between 14h and 16h have been extended with 3h.

10-1-2012 National Team Pages are down.

We are experiencing a database issue that causes the National Team pages to return with an Aplication error. We have started a fix on the database, but it will take some time to complete. We expect the problem to be solved in the course of this evening.

9-26-2012 Release notes 26 September

Wednesday is release day for once :)
This week we upgraded the arena size of all bots who still had 7k arena's to 12k capacity. Furthermore, Apple approved a new version of our iPhone App that should have solved the bug preventing the push notifications.
We also reinvited ex-users to rejoin Hattrick and not miss the start of the next season.

9-20-2012 Instant Supporter Trial for new users

From this week on new users signing up to the game will also get 30 day Supporter Trial activated immediately. Also, they will be informed about some of the major Supporter features. Earlier on, new users got this trial after about 1 month in the game, but we hope and think getting it instantly will have a positive effect on both stay rates among new users as well as the Supporter rate. At least we want to try this out.

9-20-2012 Release notes

Today's release contains some things worth knowing:
- A fix for HoF players' stats, which for some could be wrong. Now corrected.
- Fix for the star rating achievement, which said only 1 user had achieved it.
- Youth league admin is now visible on the youth league page.
- For youth leagues that are not full and lacking an admin, any members of that league are shown a note about the state of the league.

9-14-2012 Release notes 14 September

Today we released a fix for a bug in the Manager License that caused users to not be able to complete the task related to the credits.
Some other various small bugs were fixed as well.

9-12-2012 Kort nedetid for forumet fredag 14/9

Forumene vil være utilgjengelig mellom 06 og 07 (HT-tid) fredag morgen på grunn av flytting av database.

8-23-2012 Release notes 23 August

A number of bugs were fixed this week, the most important ones were related to the recruitment center and finished tournaments.
- Users that signed up through invites ended up with different country in manager and team.
- There was also a bug that messed with the way finished tournaments were showed, now the last 5 tournaments will be showed.

8-16-2012 Manager License, for me?

We accidently happened to switch on the new revamped Manager License for all users. We're on this and it will be removed within a short while (any money collected will also be removed later). Naturally only new user should get this.

8-10-2012 Training settings for new teams

Since yesterday, new teams that join Hattrick start with 100% training intensity and 15% stamina share per default.

8-9-2012 Release notes 09 August

We added a 15th Anniversary category to Hattrick Press where the best articles from the writing contest will be displayed.
We fixed a bug in the Recruitment Centre dealing with pending invites.
We fixed some other minor bugs.

8-2-2012 Release notes 02 August

New users now need to validate their account by email or Facebook in order to write HT-Mails or forum posts or bid on players.
We added the 'Add round to live' button for World Cup games.
We fixed various other minor bugs.

7-27-2012 Release notes 27 July

We have released some new features today:
- The trainer will now allways have a face, even for non-supporters.
- We added a top 50 for our top-recruiters in the recruiters in the Recruitment Centre.
- We also fixed some minor bugs.

7-24-2012 Friendly pool problem

Several users report that they get 'CouldNotCreateMatch' as an error message when trying to join the friendly pool. We will look into the problem and hope to release a fix as soon as possible. It is no longer necessary to report this problem to your GMs.

7-10-2012 Cleanup unread 'my office' messages

From now on we are going to mark unread 'my office' messages as read, two weeks after they have been issued. This is to prevent managers stockpiling unread messages as some managers are believed to have collected over 300 messages.

7-10-2012 Hattrick United problem

There is currently a problem with Hattrick United. We are looking into the problem and hopefully have it fixed soon.

Update: Everything should be fixed and back to normal now.

6-6-2012 Cup draw problems

We are currently looking into a problem with the cup draw. It is no longer necessary to inform your GMs about the problem.

Update: The problems with the cup draw have been solved now. Cup matches for the leagues where the draw went wrong have already been created or will be created in the next few hours. Tomorrow we will delete the matches of those users who managed to book a friendly because of the cup draw problems

5-31-2012 About transfers

The transfer engine is stopped since 19:32, which means no transfers will be executed. It will remain so until we're more sure that normal situation is restored, then we'll start it again. Transfers will then be extended, and given what time it is now (22.00 HT-time) - deadlines are likely to be extended by 24 hours when that happens.

Update: All transfers with a deadline between 19:32 and 00:30 HT time have been extended by 24 hours.

5-31-2012 Unexpected downtime

Tonight we have been confronted with an unexpected downtime (17:20 – 18:50 HT time) because of a firewall problem. Because of the very same problem we were also unable to stop the transfer market and therefore we are unfortunately not able to extend any transfers that ended during the time the site was unavailable. We are very sorry for the consequences this may have for the affected managers.

Update 19:00: We managed to extend the transfers of the last few minutes of the downtime as they had not been finished yet. Transfer with a deadline between 18:47 and 19:15 have been extended by half an hour.

Update 19:37: The site went down again at 19:07 until 19:36 HT time. We have immediately stopped the transfers (from 19:31:52 onwards) when we were able to and will not restart it before we have ensured we are good to go.

Update 19:50: Right now we have strong suspicions pointing towards us having been confronted with DDoS attacks.

Update 21:50: We were down again from around 19:55 to 21:40. Let's hope we can get back to normal again now. For the time being, transfer engine will continue being stopped.

Training updates, youth matches etc have happened just as they should during these problems to reach the site.

5-30-2012 Key players

We have added a little feature called key players, which is aimed mostly as a help for new players. But naturally everyone get access to it. You find your key players (in your trainer's opinion) in the top right box on your players list page.

5-29-2012 Power breakdown

Due to a power breakdown in the server hall, we were down from just before 12.00 HT-time to around 12.50. Transfer deadlines have been extended by 90 minutes.

5-27-2012 Finance updates facing problem in some leagues

There is weekly finance updates problem in some leagues. Unfortunately it is hard to solve, we are sorry that this can not be solved by tonight. We will try our best to tackle the problem tomorrow.

5-26-2012 Old Team Events are not available at the moment

Please be informed that all the old Team Events are temporarily not available until we solve the problem next week.

5-26-2012 Delayed updates

We have problems with some post-game updates being delayed, such as league table generation and top scorer updates. These will tick through eventually, we are sorry for the trouble this may cause in the mean time. Transfers are also executed with some delays tonight. We are working to solve this, but we will probably see delays throughout the evening.

5-22-2012 Release notes

We've released some small fixes today:

- On the tournaments page, the displayed date for the last match round is now correct.
- Fixed a bug in the dashboard that could cause old editorials to be published again.
- In the simple matchorder form, the Supporter feature "played since last training" is now shown (for Supporters).

5-12-2012 Server reboot

We restarted the server on saturday morning, causing about 30 minutes downtime. This to solve issues on the site during the morning. Transfers were delayed two hours from around 10 HT-time.

5-10-2012 Release notes

Today's release contained mostly stuff in the background and some pretty minor changes/improvements for newbies. But some fixes worth mentioning were released as well:

- Some fixes for the blue border indication in the match order (for Supporters), for RTL languages and older IE versions.

- Fixes for a few bugs that could cause pages to crash (transfer, youth player, bid history and youth player history pages).

5-7-2012 About match income (related to the delayed updates)

Please note that if you played a home match during this weekend, for most people the income ended up as an income for last week on your finance page (because of the delayed update).

We had some cases where teams received double match takings (they played at home last week and got that income for this week as well), probably because their updates were running at the same time as matches were played. These cases have now been fixed (double income removed). The vast majority of these teams played in Denmark, but there were some few other cases in other leagues as well.

5-7-2012 The aftermath of the delayed team updates

In some leagues the effect of the delayed weekly updates was just that the update happened later than usual. But in some leagues, the update happened after the league matches, and then it also had out of the ordinary effects on team spirit and team confidence.

This is naturally not a good thing, but there's really no way to fix it in a good way afterwards. So, we will not try to compensate this in any way - as it's just not really possible to do. We unfortunately just have to accept the consequences and that they're not really fair. This is also how we have dealt with issues like this in the past.

The issue causing the delays in the first place is fixed and will not happen again. We will also look into our routines, so we can catch problems like this one at an earlier stage.

Sorry about all this!

5-6-2012 Team updates delayed

Due to a database issue, the weekly team updates (including financial updates, youth scout call and more) are delayed for many countries. The issue is resolved and the remaining updates will occur soon.

5-3-2012 Flere forbedringer for nye lag

I tillegg til oppdateringen for Turneringer tidligere denne uken har vi fokusert på en del (små) ting for å forbedre Hattrick-nykommernes opplevelse, slik vi også gjorde forrige uke. Enkelte endringer som er verdt å nevne:

- Nye lag legges automatisk i utfordringspotten slik at de får en treningskamp (gjelder kun første uke, etter dette blir det opp til manageren selv).
- Treneren arrangerer automatisk en øvelseskamp for managere som nettopp har startet sin Hattrick-karriere.
- Nye lag starter nå med en akseptabel trener med svak lederevne.

4-26-2012 Clarification when restarting a tournament

A clarification about something that hasn't been clear enough: When you start a new season of a tournament, the old matches disappears when a new season is created. We have now added information about this when you start a new tournament season.

For all other tournaments which aren't restarted, matches stay for 2 seasons. The final standings are always saved and archived, even for restarted tournaments.

4-26-2012 Release notes

Mostly stuff for new teams today:

- New team activation is now done every 5th minute (previously 15)

- Fixed lineup assistant for preparation matches

- For all teams, the trainer will field a simple lineup to avoid WO if the managers hasn't set any lineup at all (= if team has 0 players in the lineup). Will more or less only occur for new teams.

- The first time a new manager visit the order page, a default lineup is created automatically (4-4-2, as suggested by the lineup assistant)

- We started testing if showing player faces have an impact on new users' stay rates. 50% of the new users will see player faces (despite not being Supporters), the other 50% will see the silhouettes as normal.

- Added some missing leagues to the Currency exchange rates appendix.

4-21-2012 Severe delays

We've had severer delays and slowness on the site today which we have worked hard to diagnose and fix. We took down the server to reboot the database, and now all systems are up and running but the site is still not responding as quickly as we'd like. We are continuing trying to solve this. In the mean time, we have postponed all transfers from between 9 and 17 today by between 12 and 3 hours (so they all have deadlines tonight). If necessary, we may extend these deadlines again. We are very sorry for not making it possible for all our users to enjoy their games today.

4-21-2012 Server to restart

We will take the site down to make a full restart of all system. We hope this can resolve the slowness we have experienced today.

3-31-2012 Morning issue caused delays

We had a small hiccup with the database this morning between 9.10 and 10 HT-time. The site is now running as it should again, but with some delays that should recover within the next hours if not sooner. Transfers between 8.30 and 10.30 were postponed by 3 hours.

3-30-2012 Still occasional problems arranging friendlies

We are still suffering from some occasional errors when trying to arrange a friendly, just as the two past weeks. We have done quite a lot of troubleshooting and work on this, but we haven't nailed the root to these errors yet. We will naturally continue to work on this until a solution is found.

If you get a strange error (Can't create match) when trying to arrange a friendly, please just try again.

3-30-2012 Friday morning database issue

During early Friday morning our database ran into some issues, which affected the site. The site was hard to access (ultimately not accessible at all). This was solved around 7.30 and we then also postponed between 6.48 and 8.00 by 3 hours. We are sorry for the inconvenience!

3-20-2012 Release notes

Some fixes for you today:

- Fix for fixed team spirit level in tournament games, now works on content level as it should.
- Fix in MLC, some new users did not get the 3 credits as they should get after completing challenge #17.
- Removed Facebook like for RTL languages (until that API has better support for RTL), as it caused the site to move to the right instead of being in the center.
- Fix for the occasional application error you could experience when going to the world or country (league) page.

3-16-2012 Occasional problems arranging friendlies

We have got some reports about occasional errors when trying to arrange a friendly. If you get a strange error (Can't create match) when trying to arrange a friendly, please just try again.

We will look closer into these problems on Monday.

3-15-2012 Release notes

Some bug fixes and small additions included in today's release:

- Fixed a presentational bug in the fan number changes, the fan loss when changing region or team name was not included.
- Fixed a recent bug in the arena page, which messed up the look of the arena page in case you changed something related to the arena (such as cutting pattern or arena name).
- Added matchtype icons to match report
- Added "Points per played game" to Historical standings

3-13-2012 Small change in Tournament start time

The distribution for the tournament starting time wasn't working as it should (it should pick a time within the selected 55 minute range), so all tournaments created so far had an exact starting time.

We have fixed it and have changed the time for tournaments that are not filled out yet, adding the corresponding minutes.

Tournaments with already created matches have not been affected.

3-13-2012 Release notes

Apart from the major feature Tournaments (see editorial space for more info), today's release also contains some fixes:

- Fix for a (presentational) issue when changing coach
- Fix for flag tooltip problem in the friendly pool

3-8-2012 Newbie matches, removed evil spirits and more in today's release

The biggest news in the today's release is Newbie preparation matches. New users can set up and play instant preparation matches, making it easier for them to find players' best positions and get a better understanding of how the matches work.

New users set up these matches from the match list page, and are matched against another newbie also wanting a match. If no other user is found within some minutes, you play against a bot team instead. The match start 30 minutes after setting it up and orders have to be submitted 5 minutes before match start.

These matches are available for new users for their first 60 days in the game. You can play 3 matches per 7 days. However, you can't play a preparation match if you're already playing a game or if your next match starts within 150 minutes.

Apart from this, we've cast a few magic spells to remove the evil spirits that has affected players since the end of last week (players have had angry faces). We have also:

- Fixed a few site problems for RTL languages
- Fixed a login bug for users using IE7
- Fixed a few bugs related to our big code optimization last week
- Made a few SEO (search engine optimization) improvements

3-5-2012 Forumet tas ned kl. 12:00 i dag

Forumene vil bli tatt ned rundt kl. 12:00 HT-tid i dag på grunn av vedlikehold. Vi flytter nemlig forumene over på raskere disker.

Vi regner med at forumene vil være nede i ca 90 minutter.

2-29-2012 Forrige helgs problemer: Årsaker og løsninger

Det var flere årsaker til at nettstedet gikk tregt i helgen som var, noe som ble ytterligere forsterket av at det i seriestarten er ekstra mange pålogginger. Det er viktig å huske på at belastningen på serverne og databasen alltid er størst i den første serierunden (det er da vi har flest brukere online), noe som minsker de vanlige "sikkerhetsmarginene" vi har.

Her er en kort oppsummering av årsakene, og hva vi gjør med dem:

- Vi har optimert kode og databasefunksjoner flere steder, og ytterlige optimering vil bli gjort innen slutten av uken. Dette fordi en del kode vi har lansert de siste månedene åpenbart ikke var i stand til å håndtere den ekstra store belastningen.

- I det vi gikk inn i helgen, valgte en av diskene i vårt lagringssytem å ta kvelden. Når vi må overføre dataene til en reservedisk (noe som tar ganske lang tid), vil systemet være tregere enn vanlig. På søndag valgte også nevnte reservedisk å si takk for seg (Herr Murphy, vi vil holde et øye med deg fra nå av!). Begge diskene er nå blitt erstattet av nye.

- Vi har flyttet forumet til en ny database, slik at hoveddelen av Hattrick får litt mer plass å boltre seg på (større sikkerhetsmarginer).

- Vi har flyttet noen prosesser som ikke behøver å kjøre på kampdag over til andre dager i uken, slik at vi frigjør ytterligere ressurser til hoveddelen av Hattrick (altså enda litt større sikkerhetsmarginer).

2-28-2012 Forum nede

Forumene vil være nede til rundt 12:40 HT-tid. Dette fordi de flyttes til en annen database for å forbedre Hattricks ytelse.

2-26-2012 Delayed games from saturday

The delayed games from yesterday that cannot be viewed, probably won't be available until tomorrow. The games have been played but can't be shown properly, and we need a code release to fix this, something we can't do today with causing new delays. But training, finances, etc should be safe. We are sorry for this and hope for your patience in this matter.

Update:
We were able to make the changes to the system and now this problem should be solved.

2-25-2012 Delays and general slowness

We are experiencing some problems now which manifests themselves to you as delays and a slow site.

We're working on solving the issue.

Update:
Transfers between 14:00 and 15:30 (HT-Time) has been extended with 180 minutes.

We had to take the site offline for a while to help the system catch up a bit.

Update:
We now hope the system will start to catch up but it will be a slow process. Delays are to be expected through out the day.

UPDATE SUNDAY MORNING: No delays any longer, and Sunday morning games have started on time. We have made several changes to the system over the night which we hope will have effect. However, we cannot guarantee that there will be no delays today and we will monitor the site closely.

2-24-2012 Series stats change and added match icons in today's release

Most of our time is devoted to the upcoming feature Tournaments, so today's release will not exactly be remembered as one of the biggest in our history. But it does include things we know will be very welcomed.

- From this season on only league matches (not qualifiers or other games) will count for series stats and series ranking.

- We have added match type icons when you load the list of past matches lineups (in the match order form). Gives you a better overview.

2-18-2012 Wrong teams advanced in U20 world cup

When the groups for round 2 in the U20 world cup was drawn someone had been mixing up the tables, and the wrong teams ended up in next round while some teams were wrongfully eliminated. The tables will be corrected and round 2 will be recalculated as soon as possible.

Update: The tables for round 1 and the groups/matches for next round has now been corrected.

2-15-2012 Opplasting av logoer

Det er et problem med å laste opp logoer til Hattrick, inkludert drakter. Vi ser på problemet, og vil jobbe med dette de neste par timene. I tilfelle du mangler noen logoer vil de også dukke opp snart.

2-15-2012 Doble treningskamper

På grunn av forsinkelsene i går kveld er det noen lag som arrangert to treningskamper denne uken. Vi kommer ikke til å fjerne disse ekstrakampene såpass tett opptil kampstart siden det ville være urettferdig overfor motstanderlagene (som dermed kanskje ikke ville fått spilt en treningskamp denne uken).

2-15-2012 Major match delays

Tonight we've had some major delays caused by the creation of matches for the cup that starts next week. Unfortunately we won't be able to fix this tonight, so the delays are likely to increase even more. We're sorry for any inconvenience, we're working as fast as we can.

Update
The matchengine caught up during the night and we've been working today on optimizing the creation of cupmatches, so hopefully it will run smoothly from now on. Thank you for your patience.

2-13-2012 Release notes

This release includes a lot of small changes and improvements (some 1000-2000) to the background code, mostly related to how matches are handled. This is nothing you will really see anything of, but nevertheless it's worth to mention. All this was needed for a coming feature we're working on, but will also be great help (and sometimes needed) in general in our future development of Hattrick.

Apart from all this we've also fixed a problem related to the rating achievement:

- There's been a difference between how the average match rating is calculated in the match report and for the rating achievement. This is now fixed and both use the same calculation (the one earlier used for the match report). Please note that this change will only apply for any new achievement you get from now on.

2-1-2012 Utgivelsesmerknader

Noen små forbedringer:

- Fikset et avrundingsproblem når man bruker verktøyet som forutser lagdelsratingene (som skapte forskjeller mellom ratinger vist som navn og som søyler).

- HT-mails uten synlig emne (mellomromstasten) er nå mulig å åpne.

- La til manglende HT Live-lenker på cupkampsiden.

1-27-2012 Release notes

In this week's release there are a few fixes you should be aware about:

- The training report for non-Supporters is now shown in My Office, as intended.

- When a cup is finished, the last round of it is also shown.

- The option to set team attitude (play it cool, match of the season) for a youth match has been removed from the order interfaces. This because the team spirit in youth teams is always the same (team attitude settings don't effect team spirit after a youth game has been played).

- The flag map in French is now working as it should again.

1-17-2012 Short interruptions

After the today's downtime we've experienced two short interruptions, and there might perhaps be a few more. Although it can be a bit irritating, it's nothing to worry about. It's just due to some relocating work in the server hall, but there will not be any interruptions after 18:00 (when matches start) at least.

Sorry about this, we'll try to keep it to the very minimum.

1-11-2012 Foruminnlegg ikke markert som lest

Vi har fått melding om at foruminnlegg ikke blir markert som lest, hvilket kan være ganske irriterende. Vi håper å få fikset problemet i morgen.

Edit: Problemet skal nå være løst.

1-9-2012 Various youth academy problems

During the weekend we've had problems with the youth academies, of various kinds. Matches have been late, some youth leagues are waiting for fixtures, etc. We're looking into this.

Update: These problems should now be sorted out. If you still encounter any problem, please report it to your local GM using the contact form in the Help section.

12-10-2011 Concerning failed transfers

There were some failed transfers between HT time 08 Dec 2011 23:00 and 09 Dec 2011 06:00, i.e. players sold not move to the new team; players bought not move to the new team. Some teams have received the sale's amount more than once.

If you are affected, please do not re-list your player and do not spend the money not belonged to you. We are trying to solve the problem.

Updates: We have decided not to move the failed-to-transfer players. All the buyers will get money refunded, all the sellers will get sale's money deducted and transfer fee refunded, teams that received previous club and mother club money from the failed transfers will also get their money deducted. Sellers can go ahead to re-list their players. Everyone affected will get receive a Staff message explaining the amount of money refunded/deducted.

We will update you when this is finally solved. Until then, thanks for the patience and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Lastly, we will find the culprit of the failed transfers and fix it for good.

12-5-2011 Problems with financial updates in some leagues

We are looking into problems with the financial updates in some leagues, where (some) teams received too much money from the weekly update. We don't yet know if it's possible to correct this, but we are investigating which leagues (and which teams in those leagues) are affected and then we'll see what we can do about this. More info to follow.

Update 14:00
These problems have now been solved. Four leagues (Poland, Sweden, Austria and Ukraine) were affected, and most teams (but not all) in those leagues got a erroneous update.

Please note that some of your income for this week may be displayed as income from last week (if you were affected). This is however just a presentational issue, the amount of money is correct.

12-1-2011 Release Notes December 1

Some minor changes in the release today.

* Fixed a bug that caused the MLC to break for returning users
* Fixed a bug that caused the youth match archive to display incorrectly
* Fixed a bug that caused the series page to sometimes display the wrong amount of recent visits
* Fixed a recent bug that caused notifications for transfer-listed bookmarked players to not work

11-28-2011 Release notes November 28

This release contains many small tweaks and fixes to recently released things, such as Gears, youth files for CHPP, Stats, and the option for returning users to skip the MLC. One visible thing that has changed is the fixing of a rounding error of the Loyalty values in the match order interface.

During the past week we have also devoted a lot of attention to improving the overall speed on the site. We have fine-tuned many pages which had reduced the overall load on the database to around one third of what it was before. This means the site should be perceived as more responsive at any given moment. However, we still have problems with team updates and matched being delayed, and we are continuing to work on this.

11-26-2011 Match delays

We have several leagues with delayed matches today. We have been working hard on optimizing the site in the last 2 weeks, which has led to a faster overall site, but we have still not been able to prevent the match delays, for which we are sorry. But we are working on this!

11-17-2011 Release notes for November 17

This week we have worked on backend stuff, such as further tweaking the new stats. But we have also released new files for CHPP developers, who will now be able to access player pages of the youth academies. It will be interesting to see what comes out of that. Here are the other things we have changed that may be of public interest this week:

- Bug fixed in Rating Prediction: Away team was being treated as always being in a derby game
- Fixed that sorting did not work as expected after clicking links on the series stats page, when reaching it through a link
- At signup, new team names will be checked against a list of blacklisted names
- Price info about Gears was added to About Gears page
- Fixed rounding error in Loyalty ratings - now it works similar to all other skills
- Added possibility for returning users to skip MLC
- Fixed bug that prevented U20 coaches from using the simple match order interface
- Fixed bug that teams could (very rarely) go without a trainer, something which caused pages to break
- Fixed error in ratings bars and numbers displayed when actual rating value was non-existent
- We removed some broken links on the Hattrick Downweb page (let's hope we never get to see it again, anyway!)

10-31-2011 Loyalty bugs

We're currently looking into two bugs related to loyalty (which has just been released today):

- Players bought directly from the mother club are shown as they will get full loyalty even in their new club.
- Rating predictor, some strange behaviour reported.

Edit: These two bugs have now been fixed.

10-28-2011 Release Notes for October 28

It's been a busy week at Hattrick HQ, in anticipation of next week's releases. For the release today, the obvious thing is the new election system which went live this morning. Apart from that, these are the fixes and updates that we want to share with you today:

- Added support for coming Loyalty feature in the Ratings Predictor

- Fixed a layout issue in RTL Simple skin where the sidebar box got shifted 10px only in match setup page, updated styles ...

- Fix for no captain in lineup blocking order form load

- Removed unnecessary white spaces in youth series page

- Langificiation issue in the youth league admin page

- Sort by shirt number by default for youth players in match orders page

- Bug fix login issue on new startpage

10-26-2011 Database problems

We're currently having some trouble with the database being heavily overloaded. This can result in various actions not working, sacking players for one. We're working on it and expect to have it back to normal before midnight. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.

10-25-2011 Hardware failure

Due to a hardware failure our site was unavailable for slightly more than half an hour. Because of this, transfers between 16:00:35 and 16:35:00 have been extended by 1 hour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

10-20-2011 Release notes for Thursday 20th October 2011

This week we have mainly worked on things that will be released in the coming weeks, such as the loyalty change. But there is a collection of smaller changes to the site as well:

You may notice some minor changes to the training page, including a new box for training status summary and a right hand menu link to training status page. Individual instructions page has been tidied up.

A bug that caused an application error when clicking the breadcrumb links of a series was fixed.

We added a qualifier icon to the "next season" series table, to clarify what teams may end up where

We have done a few fixes to the ratings predictor during the week, to make sure it works as described.

10-13-2011 Release notes for Thursday October 13th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you :

- The lineup suggestion tool for newbies and the ratings predictor are now available in the simple match order form.

- As announced last week, a player sold while his team is playing a match doesn't change team until after the game is over. This exception also applies if the buyer is playing a game. The transfer is blocked from 15 minutes before the game starts to 10 minutes after the final whistle. A message on the player's page will inform you of this change, 120 minutes before the end of the transfer.

- The ratings predictor always took overcrowding into account when giving ratings, we have now fixed it so that overcrowding is factored in only when it occurs.

As always there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

10-8-2011 Summary of today's downtime

Starting at around 14.30 the site became unavailable. The system itself (databases and game engine) worked fine, but the web was overloaded and we started troubleshooting this. This is fairly normal, it happens daily and most of the time users never notice since the system automatically handles this. But when the site is more busy we sometimes need to give the system a hand ourselves.

In any case, this didn't work so we had to look at other potential causes. The firewall did not respond which is very rare, so we took the site down and restarted it manually. We also started checking through all code changes in the last weeks to see if we had added anywhere something that might cause heavier load on the servers. It turns out we had, and those changes have been reverted.

It is a weakness of Hattrick that problems like this (which are, after all, natural when you have a system that constantly evolves) are often exposed on Saturdays, when we have most people online and bottlenecks are more likely to emerge. We are very aware of this and try to time releases so that we minimize these kinds of risks, but we will try and think of other ways to avoid this happening again.

Because of the problems we decided to extend all transfers which had their deadline between 14:30 and 21:00 HT Time by 24 hours.

10-6-2011 Release notes for Thursday October 6th 2011

This is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you.

- As some of you may have noticed, we have had issues with re-Live recently. These should all be fixed now and the "next" button should work as intended.

- We have removed the Most Expensive transfers on the Stats Players page, as the data there wasn't correct and it was misleading.

- We've added a cookie that remembers your last login date so that we can distinguish returning users from new users and better cater which login page is shown to whom. The privacy policy has been updated to reflect this change.

- We've added a link called On going match that will show up in the header during your matches. With it you can easily access the live page for your on going match if you surf away. It also acts as a reminder that you have a match going on right now.


As always there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

9-29-2011 New transfer compare

As you may have noticed, a new transfer compare was announced in the release notes. The changes focus on giving better comparisons with a focus on removing behaviors which created an option to exploit the tool to making profit while improving the quality of the results. There are no fixed ranges anymore for skills in certain domains. Each skill, if it is high enough, is compared in a range (and not an exact value) which is no longer set in stone.

The tool now compares, in range of ages, unique players and not that common old players. To compensate for the range of ages, the range of skills that are of third and fourth in order of importance are compared in a wider range with an upside bias.

9-29-2011 Release notes for Thursday September 29th 2011

This is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you :

- We've slightly modified the House rules in regards to federations, to more closely represent the rules applied.

- We've modified the formula for Transfer Compare to give you a more accurate comparison. (more details in the other system info)

- If there is an error during the saving of a lineup, you will no longer be redirected away from the match order page.

As always there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

9-28-2011 All coaches finally know when they arrived.

All coaches that have not been "Hall of Famed" now know when they have joined your club. As for the coaches in your Hall of Fame, there is no plan right now to fix their dates.

9-27-2011 Coaches finally know when they arrived.

It has been a long lasting bug in Hattrick that when you converted a player into a coach, the date of his joining your club would be reset. This is no more! Coaches converted from now on will now show the original date they joined your club.

We are still working on fixing the dates for past coaches. We will keep you informed once it's done!

9-25-2011 Service Unavailable

We had a short down time in our services and had to stop the transfers because of it. The service is back to normal now and transfers with their deadline between 13.32 and 13.40 have been extended by 15 minutes.

9-22-2011 Release notes for Thursday September 22nd 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you:

- You can no longer report federation posts. But the link is still there and it explains to you how things should be dealt with when you stumble upon a post or situation that you think is unacceptable.

- It used to be that once you had booked a match through the friendly pool, you couldn't unsubscribe from it, until you had entered it again. This has now changed. You can now unsubscribe from the friendly pool at anytime.

- Now to reset your password you only need your login name or email address instead of both.

-Also some of you may have come across some weird text on your match order interface these past couple of weeks. This was a problem with caching of the interface. We've now resolved those caching issues, so they don't happen again in the future.

- For the past few weeks, the colours on the player list in the match order interface had mistakenly changed making it harder for some to differentiate them. We've brought back the old and trusted shades.

- And finally, still in the match order interface, the player skills are now ordered the same way as on your players' page.

As always there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

9-19-2011 What's in that tea? Stamina bug fixed.

Thanks to Lizardopoli's research, we were able to discover that ever since we have moved to minute based training, any player being substituted in at minute 51 or after would perform at max level with no drops, no matter if he had excellent or disastrous stamina.

So this has now been fixed. We have changed the recipe for the half time tea and players entering in the second half will perform according to their stamina level.

9-15-2011 Release notes for Thursday, September 15

Today we have made a release, and the list is a little longer than usual since we did a Bugsmash workshop to clean up our to do lists a bit after the summer.

This went live today:

- A bug fix in the match highlights when showing substitution + reposition without formation change
- Simplified interface for rejoining the friendly pool
- Invite links in series table removed for users who are already waiting to have an invite accepted
- A big pile of small RTL (Right-to-left) issues
- We now display the average age stats with years and days more correctly

- The ability for HtPress authors to delete comments was removed
- We now allow CHPP developers to moderate their product forums
- We localized some texts in press announcements page (so that it can be read in your user language rather the just english)
- We added 20 minutes to the IsPlayingMatch-check before the game starts. This means the warning about players on the transfer market who may be about to play a game has been extended
- Error-box if something went wrong while saving match order is now shown
- Former users now shown as "Previous user" in PA comments
- Skillbars added to the matchorder interface for youth
- Fixed bug in flip match orders for IE7/8

- Fixed corrupt data for Cup round achievements
- Inactivity e-mail reminders now include the loginname
- Small tweaks to the start up and registration pages, part of an ongoing project to encourage visitors to sign up for a team. Includes things like screenshots, updated About Hattrick page, slimmer registration form, etc. These are tests only which means features may come and go.


Finally, some changes from last week:

- The match order form now takes user preference for show skill bars into account
- Made phone number required on shipping details
- Added downloads page for wallpapers and moved them from About Hattrick to downloads
- Added new wallpapers with the correct aspect ratio
- Bug fix on Stamina graph on playerchart
- Made the arena usage percentage an option (from pie charts) in the site preferences.

9-7-2011 Small hick up

We had a small hick up in our services and had to stop the transfers because of it. The service is back to normal now and transfers with their deadline between 14:26:25 and 14:44:00 have been extended by half an hour.

8-31-2011 Incorrect data about formupdates

We have had an error in the old form data for some players. This error can be seen in the latest form changes on the trainingpage for supporters where the old form is wrong for some players.

The data will be corrected at the next training update.

8-29-2011 Not possible to promote youth players and application errors

At the moment it is not possible to promote youth players. At the same time several pages give application errors. We are looking into the problems and try to fix them as soon as possible. There is no further need to report this to your GMs.

Update: These problems have been solved now.

8-27-2011 Delayed youth matches

We are aware matches in the youth academy have delays. We are investigating the causes and try to have them up and running as soon as possible.

Some club officials are also working hard on printing player names on the match jerseys. Right now they are missing for players in several youth matches and therefore they appear as unknown player in the match report.

Update: Matches have caught up.

Update2: The club officials have caught up with printing the player names and there should be no more unknown players now.

8-20-2011 CHPP Closing

It seems that the problems with CHPP are still with us, so we are opting to turn off all CHPP for the time being.

We will keep you updated as we monitor the situation.

We thank you for your patience as we try to solve these problems once and for all.

Update : CHPP is now back on. We will work this week again on solving the issues CHPP has been causing.

8-18-2011 Training page not responding

Some of you may experience an application error when trying to access your training page. This mostly affects new users.

Due to a planned database maintenance, we are unable to fix it right away, but we will get it sorted as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Update : The pages should now be accessible by everyone once again.

8-18-2011 Release notes for Thursday August 18th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you :

- On your CHPP Products preferences page, you can now find the dates at which those products were last accessed.

We have been hard at work on fixing the issues with CHPP that have been causing the problems on Saturdays. We are hopeful that this time, they are solved for good!

And of course as usual there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

8-13-2011 CHPP closed this weekend

We believe we've finally pinned down CHPP as the cause of the delays during the weekends lately. Because of this CHPP will be completely closed for the rest of the weekend. Not only for Live viewers as previously stated, but all CHPP programs.

We will now start to investigate exactly what in CHPP it is that is causing this, and hope that next weekend we can finally be rid of all the delays!

We're sorry for any inconvenience this causes you and thank you for your patience.

----

CHPP was reopened on Monday morning and we have since then worked on the issue that was causing this problem. We believe that it is resolved and that we will be able to have CHPP running this weekend (and onwards).

8-12-2011 CHPP Live viewers disabled this weekend

In an effort to solve our performance problems on Saturdays, starting tonight after the NT matches, we will disable the Live xml files. This means that all CHPP Live viewers will return errors when trying to access that information. In essence those files gives CHPP products live data during matches.

We thank you for your patience while we try to solve those problems and we are sorry for any and all inconvenience this has caused you.

8-11-2011 Release notes for Thursday August 11th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you :

- We've brought back the live tables to HT Live.

- We fixed some minor bugs in the match order form.

And of course as usual there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience as we keep working on fixing the problems that have been plaguing the site on weekends.

8-5-2011 Wage reduction

All players who aged in the night of Thursday to Friday and should have had a salary update haven't.

We are looking into it. There is no need to report it to your local GMs.


Update : Players have now aged properly and gotten their salary update.

8-4-2011 Release notes for Thursday August 4th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you.

- You can now add a comment when reporting a forum post explaining why you feel it needs a moderator's attention.

- In the Youth Academy match reports have had weird formations appearing after certain swaps. This presentational bug has been fixed.

- We've temporarily removed the live tables from HT Live to see if it helps solve the weekend delay problems.

- The Hall of Fame is viewable again for non supporters. This had been removed by mistake.

And of course as usual there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

7-28-2011 Release notes for Thursday July 28th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you :

- Directly from Gusy's goody bag, you can now search your received or sent HT-Mails by alias or user ID.

-There was a bug in the match order form, in regards to the click and swap from subs to player list, making the player on the subs bench disappear but no player coming in to replace him. This has been fixed.

-Show faces settings is now available for non supporters under site preferences.

-Walkovers shouldn't be breaking the series fixtures any longer.

And of course as usual there were other tweaks and fixes behind the scenes to better improve your Hattrick experience.

7-23-2011 Matches delayed

Due to a problem with the server running matches, all matches are currently delayed. The matches are running at full speed and will catch up eventually.

Update: Matches have caught up.

Update 2 : Matches and updates are late. The engine will eventually catch up. This goes for youth matches as well.

Update 3: Seniors matches are back on track. Youthmatches will probably need most of the day to catch up.

Final update : The engine has finally caught up to everything. Matches are now being played as scheduled.

7-21-2011 Release notes for Thursday July 21st 2011

This is release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you.

-You can now delete in one click, all the finished transfers that you had hotlisted.

There were other fixes and optimizations done behind the scenes to better your Hattrick experience.

And we are back to our regularly scheduled release Thursday and here is what we have coming for you.

- You now have alternative video links in the Hosting competition page should the content of Youtube be blocked where you are.

- We've added a new FB like button to the Start page. This is part of a bigger Facebook integration project, that is starting slowly. You will eventually get a setting for Facebook in your preferences, once the project is further along.

There are, as always, many other tweaks and fixes mostly behind the scenes to give you a better Hattrick experience.

6-30-2011 Utgivelsesmerknader 30. juni

Som alltid er det også et par mindre justeringer.

6-29-2011 My Office's disappearance

You might have noticed My Office missing on and off for the past few days. As we are doing some optimization work on it, we have had to do that.

It is disabled right now, and will remain like that till tomorrow at the earliest. We are sorry for the inconvenience this creates to new users especially, but to everyone who has gotten used to seeing it there.

You can find the system info messages by clicking on Help and then System info and you can read the latest news by clicking on News.

6-29-2011 Another down time, another transfer extension

Because of a down time of a few minutes the transfers between 11:42 and 12:00 have been extended by 30 minutes.

We know these problems are irritating, we are doing what we can to regulate the situation.

6-28-2011 Extended transfers

Because of short down time transfers between 21:50 to 22:30 HT Time have been extended by for 40 minutes.

6-28-2011 Utgivelsesmerknader 28. juni

Dette er hva vi har til dere i dag:

-I dag lanserer vi posisjonsbytte for ungdomslagene.

-Vi har lagt til et informasjonsverktøy i kampordreskjemaet for å forklare de forskjellige typene standardoppstillinger. Ta en titt, kanskje du får klarhet i noe du har vært usikker på?

- Personverninnstillingene er tilbake for ikke-Supportere. De var blitt skjult etter en glipp.

- Boksen på klubbsiden som informerer om at det spilles kamp viser nå riktig informasjon når kampen ble avlyst pga walkover.

- Det er en ny Hattrick United-widget for landslag

- Det er nå en lenke på landslagssiden som peker direkte til VM-gruppen laget deltar i.

I tillegg til noen små justeringer, som vanlig.

6-27-2011 Exceptional down time transfer extension.

Transfers set to finish between 10:10 HT Time this morning and 23:00 HT Time tonight have been extended by 24hours.

6-26-2011 Weekend woes.

Because of the issues we've had this weekend, some of the teams got their qualifiers given before the league tables were updated with this week's results. This caused some teams to not get their deserved qualifying match and others to get a match they shouldn't have gotten.

We are aware of the situation and we are working on it.

Keep in mind that in the affected leagues, the qualifiers will need to be recalculated. We can't say exactly when this will happen, but it will be done in good time before the games next weekend and there will be a My Hattrick message informing the leagues concerned.

We've also brought back My Office. In order for it to work as it should, you might need to log out and back in.

6-25-2011 Transfers extended, again.

Because of slowness on the site again, transfers between 14:15 and 15 HT time, they have been extended by 60 minutes.

We recommend that you set a lineup as soon as possible, in these unstable times, it is best to be safe than sorry.

UPDATE: Transfers between 18:05 and 19:05 have also been extended for 60 minutes because of the site being slow again.

6-25-2011 Transfers extended.

Transfers between approximately 12:30 and 14:00 HT Time have now been extended by 90 minutes.

6-25-2011 Saturday Slow times

In a continued effort to solve these slow times on Saturday, we are having to disable Foxtrick. This is to see if they could be the cause of the problems.


Update : We have also now disabled My Office.

Update 2 (13:30) : We have now re-enabled Foxtrick.

6-24-2011 Problem setting lineups

If you are encountering problems accessing the match order interface. Try clearing your cache, ctrl F5 will do the trick on most browsers. Try even a couple of times.

We are investigating the issue to fix it permanently but until then, this might work.

6-21-2011 Working on problems

As we are working to solve the problems that have been causing the down times on Saturdays, we need to disable My Office for a few minutes to eliminate it from the suspects list. It will be back promptly.

6-18-2011 Unplanned maintenance

We had to take the site down for unplanned maintenance after the system experiencing a lot of problems throughout the evening. We were completely down for around 30 min. Transfers between 18:00 and 20:40 unfortunately could not be extended. Transfers between 20:40 and 22:20 HT time have however been extended by 2,5 hours. There might still be some lingering problems for CHPP apps but this will sort itself out in an hour or so. Thanks for your patience.

6-18-2011 Transfers extended.

Because of today's down time, transfers between 13:10 and 14:30 HT Time have been extended by 3 hours and transfers between 14:30 and 15:05 have been extended by 2 hours.

We are still investigating the cause of these frustrating Saturdays down times. We thank you for your patience.

6-13-2011 Maintenance information

Tomorrow between 8:00 and 11:00 HT Time we are running maintenance on some of our servers. The application running the transfers will be down, so we've extended transfers between 8 and 11 tomorrow by three hours.

The site will be up and running as usual. You will still be able to place bids during that time, simply no players will have deadlines scheduled then.

Also matches on HTO will not be played for those three hours.

6-10-2011 Transfers extended.

We had a short down time this evening. We were able to stop transfers at 19:35 HT Time. Transfers between 19:35 and 19:50 were extended by 30 minutes.

We thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.

6-8-2011 Release notes for June 8th 2011

Today is release Wednesday and here is what we have coming for you.

We've tweaked many of the supporter features released last week in regards to avatars and press announcements.

You will again be able to see editorials on the news page. A bug had made them disappear.

And for those who didn't have an avatar but want one, the page will now allow you access.

There were also minor tweaks and fixes.

6-7-2011 Short downtime

Around 22.30 HT-time we had a short downtime, and because of this transfers were extended by 30 minutes. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

6-7-2011 Avatar edit

For those of you who are supporter but never picked an avatar before, you are probably running into problems now trying to edit an avatar that doesn't exist.

We are preparing a fix for this, but in the mean time feel free to use this link (/Club/Manager/avatar.aspx) to create your avatar and then edit it to your heart's content!

6-4-2011 Transfers extended

Because of slowness on the sites this evening, the transfers between 18:50 and 20:00 HT Time have been extended by 90 minutes.

We again want to thank you for your patience.

6-1-2011 Release notes for June 1st 2011

As part of release Wednesday you will notice that your Secretary's eyes and mouth might have changed. This is, in fact, to reflect his correct mood.

The Hattrick Open background has also been removed.

There are other tweaks and fixes released, but nothing really worth mentioning for now.

5-26-2011 Release notes for May 26th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here are some of the things we have coming for you:

- We launch a new transfers page, it is more complete and has all the correct information. You will find it where the old one used to be.

- You will no longer get ticker notification from ignored users on the forums.

- A message will now be displayed to inform you that the transfer engine might have been stopped if transfers are delayed for more than 5 minutes. That message will be visible on the transfer page, and on the players who's transfer should have ended more than 5 minutes ago.

- The Hattrick United widget on your team page is now active for supporters.

There were also other minor tweaks and fixes.

5-24-2011 Extended transfers once again.

Because of an attack around 11:37 HT Time, transfers between 11:37 and 12:30 approximately have been extended by one hour.

We thank you for your understanding as we find ways to prevent these attacks from spoiling your and our fun everyday.

5-23-2011 Transfers extended

As we suffered another DDoS attack we have extended transfers between 11:30 and 12 HT time by 60 minutes.

We are working on countering these attacks. We have been somewhat successful in that they now don't last as long as they once did. But we're still not there yet! So we urge you to plan ahead and make sure you make your lineups, so that you aren't caught off guard.

We thank you for your patience.

5-21-2011 No access for some CHPP programs

We have discovered a security problem that have forced us to close the access for those CHPP applications that still use the old security code access method. The new access method that has been available since November has been implemented by most CHPP apps works fine though. If your CHPP app cannot connect to Hattrick, you will not be able to download data from Hattrick for the time being. Once your program has an update to the new access method available, you will be able to install this and resume access.

5-21-2011 Network issues

During Saturday, we have again had network problems making it hard to reach the site. We are sorry for this but believe they have now been resolved. Transfers were extended by 90 minutes.

5-20-2011 CHPP Product connexion problems

CHPP products using the security code as a connection method are not able to connect right now. We are looking into this situation.

CHPP products using the new OAuth token system are not affected by this problem.

Update : CHPP apps using the security code should work again now.

5-18-2011 Transfers extended

Due to a new ddos attack the Hattrick site was temporarily unavailable. We stopped the transfers around 17:12 HT-time and have extended all transfers until 17:30 with half an hour.

5-18-2011 Release Notes for May 18th 2011 - Operation Bugsplat

Today is release Wednesday and after Operation Bugsplat we have a lot of fixes coming for you!

-NT games are now visible in a player's match history

-We still had a few events that would pop up in the ticker untranslated, those are now fixed.

- If a Hattrick Master's match went into extra time, the results could be seen before the end of the match on the team's page. This is no longer the case.

-It is no longer possible to see the star rating for a rookie before the end of his first match

-Likes, on your Press Announcements, by people you have blocked are now silently ignored.

-All the tabs that are available for club teams on the future match pages are now also available for National Teams.

- There has been a few Right to Left languages issues fixed.

- The National Cup winners are now showed next to the correct season.

-There were some players that had lost their bodies. Thankfully we've been able to find them!

- For youth players who've scored a hat trick and signed a contract, these events are shown as youth but also stay with the senior player when they are promoted.

- You can now comment on and like Hattrick Press articles.

-We had youth players who aged one year in one day because of how the age was displayed when being pulled. This should no longer be the case.

-Fan mood doesn't update before the end of a match any longer.

-When your Supporter package expires and you do not renew it, your friendly and cup default lineups will now only be kept for 7 days.

-As it is impossible for you to bid on players that you can not afford, we've added a 5% deduction to incoming available money to account for fees you will not receive. This doesn't impact the money you receive, just the money the system thinks you have available.

- Substitution behaviours when the individual order remains the same are now shown explicitly

-Teams who had subscribed to the friendly pool but were still in their National Cups will no longer be shown in the friendly pool. Their subscription will remain active and once eliminated from the Cup they will be entered in the pool again.

-Players who were being brought into a game as a keeper as a default will now be marked as keeper for those minutes played for training purposes.

-Player bookmarks are now sorted by Extra Information when that option is selected.

There were also other minor tweaks and fixes.

Enjoy!

5-17-2011 Ny ungdomskampmotor oppe og går

Vi har en ny versjon av ungdomskampmotoren ute nå for en siste test. Denne motoren inkluderer et par korreksjoner og små forbedringer:

- Ikke-taktiske langskudd fungerer nå som de skal. En bug som forhindret ikke-taktiske langskudd fra å forekomme er blitt tatt hånd om.

- Når din kaptein forlater banen (frivillig eller ufrivillig), blir kapteinsarmbåndet gitt til den medspilleren på banen som er best egnet til å være kaptein.

- Hvis en spiller blir gitt ny ordre som er ulovlig for den posisjonen han spiller på, vil den ordren bli kansellert.

- Fikset en bug rundt ungdomsspilleres erfaring. Ungdomsspillere kan nå hentes opp med elendig erfaring igjen.

Denne motoren støtter også posisjonsbytte mellom spillere. Men senne funksjonaliteten vil bli testet på Stage først, slik at vi kan forsikre oss om at den (og brukergrensesnittet) fungerer som det skal.

Som nevnt over vil vi teste denne motoren hos ungdomslagene. Og når vi vet at den fungerer som den skal vil vi også bruke den for seniorlagene.

5-16-2011 Transfers extended after new DDoS attack

We were again the target of a DDoS attack today, and the site was slow or unavailable for about 30 minutes. We managed to stopped the transfer engine this time, and transfer deadlines between 14.36 and 15.30 have been extended by 1 hour. If you're wondering what a DDoS attack is, you can get some basic knowledge on wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddos_attack).

5-15-2011 Delays and transfer extensions

Many of you may have experienced delays, site slowness and occasionally even not able to log in. Because of this we had to stop the transfers. The problems have been solved now and transfers between 21:55:55 and 00:45:00 have been extended by 3 hours.

It may take some time still before all updates have caught up.

5-14-2011 League Tables

For a few weeks now you may have noticed that your league tables disappear after your matches or are not visible for about 30 minutes there after. You might also experience delays in receiving the money from your ticket sales

We are aware of the situation, so there is no need to contact your GMs about it.

5-12-2011 Match reports in different languages

Last night the reporters for your matches decided to swap notes. Which had for effect that your match reports can be in many different languages. It might also affect past match reports. We are working on getting them back to your language settings.

You might have noticed also that some of the player names have gone missing in your match reports. We are working on getting those back as well.

Update : Your match reports should now be back to normal.

5-7-2011 Transfers extended

Because of this new down time. Transfers between 17.45 and 18.30 were extended by 45 minutes. We urge you again to make sure you have set your lineups as these down times might happen again during the weekend. We thank you for your understanding.

5-7-2011 Downtime because of DDoS attacks

Hattrick was down for about an hour because we were the target of a massive DDoS attack. As long as such an attack is going, there is very little we can do about it.

As Hattrick was unreachable, we couldn't stop or extend transfers this time.

About two weeks ago we were also down because of DDoS attacks, which lasted for a few hours. However that time we chose not to make that information public.

So a good piece of advice now is to make sure to set your orders for your match, because there is naturally a risk that this can happen again during the weekend.

5-5-2011 Database issue resolved and transfers extension.

We have solved the database issues and we now need to give our servers time to catch up. So it might take some time still before all updates are completed.

Transfers from 17:30 to 19:40 have been extended by 2h30.
Transfers that originally ended before 17.30 have had their deadline extended with another hour.

5-5-2011 Server problems and delays

Currently we are still having server problems and because of it we experience delays with the updates. It is possible we may have to close the site again in order to let our servers catch up. For the same reason we have stopped the transfers. Transfers will be extended when we feel it is okay to start them again.

5-5-2011 Transfers extended

Because of a problem with the database, we had to take the site offline for about 45 minutes . Back online we had to keep the transfer engine stopped for another hour.

We still experience some problems in the backend, but we don't see a need to keep transfer stopped anymore. Transfers deadlines between 13.30 and 15.30 have been extended by 2 hours.

5-5-2011 Release notes for May 5th 2011

Today is release Thursday and we have a few fixes coming your way!

- You can now disable the Hattrick Open background via the preferences, under site preferences. Please note that if you have used an Adblocker to remove it, you will need to first disable that to be able to remove it.

- We've removed the forum sneak peak from the World page.

-Youth player memorable moments now show scored hattricks.

- And we have kept the best for last! The mail counter bug that has been with us since the creation of NewD is no more. You will now have a notification on page reload of any new incoming mail. The cache is renewed every minute. So keep that in mind.

There were also, as always, a few other minor tweaks and fixes.

Enjoy!

4-27-2011 Late youth matches

We are aware matches in the youth academy have delays and we are investigating the causes.

4-15-2011 Server woes and transfer extensions

Since our servers acted up again and the site was unavailable for a bit, we've extended the transfers during the down time by 30 minutes.

With all the problems we've been having today, it would be wise to make sure you have default lineups saved for your up coming match this weekend.

4-15-2011 Connection problems

We are experiencing internet connection problems today. We don't know yet what is causing these problems, more than it is out of our control. At times it seems our servers lose connection to the internet.

We are naturally investigating with our partners for the reason of these problems.

4-7-2011 Klippemønster er her for godt!

Vi har bestemt oss for å beholde klippemønsteret på gressmatta. Bare for gøy, ettersom disse mønstrene selvsagt ikke vil få noen innvirkning på selve spillet, men vi kan nå slappe av med litt hagearbeid mellom kampene!

Vi har også sluppet et par andre justeringer og reparasjoner i dag, men ingenting som er verd å nevne.

4-1-2011 Late NT and U20 matches

U20 and National Team matches are late. We are working on it.

Update : matches have now started.

3-31-2011 Salary bug fixed

There was a bug in the salary discount for older players; older players didn't get the correct salary after the change at the start of this season. This bug is now fixed and the salaries for all older players are now correct.

3-31-2011 Utgivelsesmerknader 31. mars

I dag er det utgivelsestorsdag og vi utgir en forbedring som har vært etterlyst lenge.

Kampordreskjemaet kan nå brukes på mobiltelefoner.

I tillegg har vi som vanlig gjort et par små justeringer og forbedringer.

3-29-2011 Transfer engine stopped again

We are still having problems with the transfer engine. So it is stopped again. Transfers will be extended once we are able to bring it back up. We know this is very frustrating and we are working as hard and fast as we can to fix the problems. We appreciate your patience.

Update : Transfers haven't been extended as the site was up and you were still able to place bids on players. So everything will be processed once the engine catches up.

Update 21:30: The transfer engine has now catched up and the servers behaves as they should.

3-29-2011 Serverproblemer etter dagens nedetid

Vi har opplevd serverproblemer hele dagen etter nedetiden; det har til tider vært nesten umulig å få logget seg inn via den normale startsiden. På grunn av dette har overgangsmarkedet blitt stoppet og alle budfrister blitt utvidet med jevne mellomrom.

Vi har nå funnet en midlertidig løsning på serverproblemet og det er mulig å logge seg på fra startsiden igjen. Og siden nettstedet fungerer tilfredsstillende (sidene vil muligens lastes tregere enn normalt), så har vi åpnet overgangsmarkedet igjen.

Selv om nettstedet virker, vil vi la "serverballen" være uten luft inntil vi har fikset problemet skikkelig.

3-29-2011 Nedetid i dag

Den planlagte nedetiden for servervedlikehold i dag tok litt lengre tid enn forventet, og som om det ikke var nok støtte vi på et server-relatert problem som førte til en ekstra times nedetid. Vi beklager dette. Vi var til slutt oppe igjen rundt kl 12:30.

Alle budfrister som ble påvirket av nedetiden har blitt forlenget.

3-24-2011 Release notes for March 24th 2011

Today we have one, much awaited, feature being released.

For those with a Youth Academy, the sorting of Senior players and Youth Players are now separate.

Enjoy!

3-23-2011 Two updates in the manual

These updates have been made in the manual (please note that it might take some time before they're translated and available in your language version):

Youth chapter, regarding youth systems:
Your weekly youth accademy costs also counts for your scouting network level (even if it's inactive). This make moving from a youth academy to a scouting network a lot swifter, as you don't have to build the scouting network up from scratch.

Training chapter, a clarification about stamina training and transfered players:
A player only recieves stamina training for the minutes he's played for your team during the week. 90 minutes give full effect, less than 90 minutes give 75% plus a share for each minute played. Players who have not played for your team during the week (which includes transfered players who've only played for their previous team) and who are healthly enough to train recieve half the effect.

3-21-2011 Player History

It seems that since the maintenance down time this morning, the player match history has disappeared. We are aware of the problem and are investigating.

Update 14:00: This problem is now fixed.

3-13-2011 Delays for qualification matches

We are experiencing delays in qualification matches. We are working on the issue.


Update : This problem was only affecting Netherlands, and is now fixed.

3-10-2011 Release notes for March 10th 2011

Today is release Thursday and here are some of the things we have coming for you :

- Some more Right To Left language bugs have been fixed.

- We've taken Financial income off the Economy reports of seasons since it has been removed. It is still visible on prior seasons.

-Top scorers are now visible on your league event page.

-The challenges "accept" and "reject" buttons now have a tip when you hover over them, to help clear up the confusion.

-On the latest matches on a player's page, you can now see if he's played on different positions.

Again this week, we've been hard at work on the new Dashboard. And there are, as usual, other minor tweaks and fixes.

3-7-2011 Alltid tatt ned fra nett for øm og kjærlig pleie

Fra og med kl 8 i dag morges og en uke framover, er Alltid tatt av nett slik at vi kan prøve å løse noen av problemene med ødelagte data ved å bygge opp databasen på nytt.

Vi håper at dette vil løse noen av problemene som har plaget Alltid mesteparten av denne sesongen.

Oppdatering: Vi har klart å kjøre vedlikeholdet i bakgrunnen, og ting går knirkefritt. Men vær forberedt på en nedetid på fredag rundt kl 10, HT-tid.

3-3-2011 Utgivelsesmerknader 3. mars

I dag er det utgivelses-torsdag, og her er noe av det vi har liggende klart:

- Vi har ordnet noen problemer for "høyre mot venstre"-språk.

- U20- og A-landslagstrenere kan nå se spillerordrer i lagoppstillingen til det landslaget de kontrollerer.

- Vi har lagt til kallenavn for spillere på lagoppstillingsbildet der hvor disse brukes til å separere spillere med likt navn.

- Lenker til ungdomslag er nå tilgjengelige uten å være logget på.

- Feilen som av og til kunne gi deg en "Unhandled Error" når du meldte deg inn i et forbund og gikk inn på forbundsforumet er blitt fikset.

- Ellipsene rundt pressemeldingene på seriesiden brukes nå kun ved behov.

- Som alltid er det også noen mindre justeringer. Og vi har jobbet flittig med utviklingen av et nytt kontrollpanel (som kommer snart), og som du kan lese mer om på vår Dev-blogg.

2-24-2011 Utgivelsesmerknader 24 . februar

I dag er det utgivelses-torsdag, og her er noen smakebiter på det vi har ordnet for dere:

- Vi har ommøblert butikken vår. Nå ser den bedre og med shoppevennlig ut enn tidligere!

- Vi har tatt oss av mange "høyre-mot-venstre"-bugs.

- Noen små justeringer ble gjort til pressemeldingskommentarene.

- Vi har korrigert skjemavendingen i IE som ikke fungerte skikkelig. Vi har også korrigert vendingen av minifeltet for alle nettlesere.


Og et par andre justeringer og smågreier.

2-17-2011 Release notes for February 17 2011

We have two really productive weeks behind us. As you can see on My Hattrick we've completed another upgrade for Hattrick Supporter, but apart from that we have also added some new features and made a bunch of other things. Here are the most important:

- You can now flip the matchorder form if you want. You can also flip it permanently in your preferences.

- A tiny, but important, fix in chapter 5 (match basics) in the manual. In the table "A normal case" for Defence left/right wing: Defending right/left winger is now placed before Defending goalkeeper, as it should be. Also, for Defence middle: Defending inner midfielder is now placed before Defending goalkeeper, as it should be.

- Press announcements are moved from the series feed to their own place on the series page.

- For Football teams (/Community/IRLTeams/) we've added a list of all fans (and info about their last and upcoming matches etc) for each team. Click on the number of fans to see the list.

- Fix for the series page, live text over the table was too long in some languages.

- Fixed an issue for match statements for right to left languages.

2-16-2011 Downtime Wednesday night

Our database decided it needed a breather this evening, and the site was down for about one hour. Things seems to be working fine now, but we have some delays on matches. Also, all transfers with a deadline during the downtime has had their deadline extended by two hours. We are sorry for this disruption in the service.

Update: 01.00
All friendlies have now been played.

2-12-2011 Downtime

It has not been possible to log on to the Hattrick servers between approximately 00:40 and 01:40 HT-time last night due to failures on our servers. Unfortunately we have not been able to bring the transfers to an immediate stop before 01:02. Transfers with a deadline after that time have been extended by 90 minutes.

2-8-2011 Match engine maintenance

We are going to make a short maintenance of the Match engine between 18:35 -18:45 HT Time

2-1-2011 Problems with Cup matches and friendlies

Right now we are having problems with matches not being displayed in Germany. We are investigating the issue.

Update 18.45: We have located the problem and all matches that have a start time of 18.30 HT time or later are being played now. We are still working on fixing the matches that were supposed to start earlier.

Update 19.05: Unfortunately this problem has also affected the Cup matches in Italy with a start time of 19.00 HT time. Other matches in Italy are not affected.

Update 19.35: The problems have been solved and all missing matches are being played now.

1-24-2011 Continued delays for youth leagues

Unfortunately matches being played in our youth system still suffer from delays. Right now we are troubleshooting the problem and hope to have the problems solved shortly.

Update 12.25: We have now managed to fix the problem. However there may be delays for the rest of the day since the youth engine has to catch up.

1-23-2011 Youth league delays

Some youth leagues that play games today are delayed. We have fixed the background cause and are now waiting for games to catch up. We are sorry for the inconvenience!

1-10-2011 Release notes for January 10 2011

The first release of 2011 contains a little bit of everything:

- Added ratings and number of users to CHPP products listings. You can now rate CHPP products and also see how many users that are using a certain product.

- Formation experience on training page: Your last choice of text/bars is now remembered and used the next time you visit the page.

- Youth skill bars (for Chrome users) have had some fixes for left to right languages. You may need to refresh your cache to get the fixes.

- Teamphoto for national teams added (link on players page).

- We increased the maximum number of forum subscriptions you can have to 75.

This release also includes some changes in the invite functionality as well as a bunch of other small stuff behind the scenes.

1-6-2011 Youth Academy problems

Because of a database issue, a small number of users who's matches were yesterday afternoon seem to be stuck in youth leagues that should have ended. We also have those same matches that don't appear on the league page, and the coaches from those teams might not have sent a training report. We are aware of the situation and are investigating.

Update : The problems were fixed.

12-26-2010 Youth matches not visible

Currently we are experiencing problems with youth matches not being visible. We are investigating and hope to be able to fix the problem soon. It is no longer necessary to contact your Gamemasters about it.

Update: the problem has been fixed now, but since the game engine has to catch up there will be delays for the rest of the day.

12-25-2010 Troubles with forum and more

One of our database servers has been causing us problems today, making the forums inaccessible. We are working on bringing it up. We also had to take the site down for a short while tonight because of this. Transfers that were supposed to take place a that time have been extended.

We have been forced to take the site down again around 21.30 HT-Time. Transfers are stopped and will be extended.

Update at 22:00
The site is up again, transfers have been extended and the forums are working again. The Alltid Hattrick statistics site will still have some problems until at least tomorrow.

12-21-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader 21. desember

Her er et utvalg av det vi har gitt ut i dag:

- Det skal nå være mulig å legge til en ekstra forbundsplass, slik det ble annonsert for en sesong siden.

- Vi har nå stoppet lastingen av lagbildet til man eventuelt selv trykker på lagbildelenken. Dette burde gjøre spillersiden raskere å laste i standard modus.

- Fikset et problem på forumet hvor tråder under "Nye innlegg" ble markert som lest, selv om de ikke var det.

Og et par andre småjusteringer.

12-16-2010 Release notes for December 16 2010

In today's release we have lots of small tweaks and fixes coming your way. Here's a sample of what you'll be able to find.

- You are now able to report posts on the forums. This feature is to help moderators, we encourage you to use when needed, but do not abuse it!

- We've added forum sneak-peaks on the related pages. For example if you go to the World page, you will see a sneak peak of Global English.

- We've brought back the recommended forums. It now works a bit differently in that it suggests the most subscribed forums by users in your league.

- Some minor tweaks and fixes to the forum layout that you might not even notice.

- The progress bars in simple skin now shows divine as divine and no longer as utopian.

12-10-2010 Short downtime

We had a short 5 minute downtime this morning at around 08:35 (HT-time). The transfer was stopped and deadlines extended 30 minutes.

12-6-2010 Interest rates gone crazy

Some of you might have noticed that the interest rates calculated this weekend were not done on the right amounts. This has now been rectified for the concerned users.

12-6-2010 Release notes for December 6th 2010

-We've changed how the html works and you might need to update your CHPP tools and clear your cache (ctrl F5 works on most browsers) to get it to look right again.

-We've also removed a box from the log in page, that made IE and Safari not want to save passwords.

-Some of you may have already noticed but youth player IDs are now linked to senior player IDs.

12-4-2010 Litt for ivrige regnskapsførere!

Vi har hatt problemer med konkursvarsler i den siste økonomioppdateringen. Med dette mener vi at noen lag har mottatt varsler de ikke skulle ha fått, mens andre kanskje ikke har mottatt varsler som de burde ha fått. Advarslene vil bli korrigert i dag. Et lite antall klubber har blitt feilaktig slått konkurs på grunn av dette.

Vi jobber nå med å reparere disse klubbene. Vi vil ikke åpne dem igjen før vi er helt ferdige med arbeidet - dette for å unngå at brukerhandlinger kan sette reparasjonsarbeidet i fare.

Selve bug'en som sådan har blitt funnet og fikset, og vil ikke påvirke dem som har økonomioppdatering i dag.

12-2-2010 Transfer deadlines extended

We had a little down time. Transfers between approximately 9:30 and 10:30 HT Time have been extended by 1 hour.

11-30-2010 Shop issues

We are aware that some orders placed up to 10 days ago have not been processed yet. This is due to a problem in the communication with our payment partner. The problem is now fixed and the payment information is being processed, so please wait a little longer before contacting customer services about this.

Update : Users who got a message saying that their order was canceled, but still have status "paid" on their orders, do not need to contact Customer Service, your order will be fulfilled soon. But if you have had your order status withdrawn, and you know you have paid for it, please contact Customer Service so we are aware of your situation and can remedy to it.

11-29-2010 Transfer woes

It seems that some transfers have happened twice, where some teams either paid twice or received twice the money for the sales. We are aware of the situation and are investigating what is causing this.

Also be aware that if you've received the money twice, the situation might be rectified and the extra money taken away. So only spend what is rightfully yours. As for teams who have been debited twice, we will also try to rectify that situation.

We will update you with more information on details and fixes when they are available.

11-22-2010 National Team matches delayed

Unfortunately we are unable to make contact with our commentators in the stadiums. We are working hard to restore contact with them as soon as possible.

Update: We have succeeded in restoring the connection

11-18-2010 A short stop

We just experiended a short "hiccup" on the site, and the site was unavailable for about 10 minutes. Transfers between 16:32 and 16:50 were extended by 20 minutes because of this.

11-11-2010 Downtime and extended transfers

Because of a problem with our main database server, Hattrick was down for around 45 minutes just after noon today. Because of this, transfer deadlines between 12:07 and 13:00 HT-time were extended by 90 minutes.

11-4-2010 Problems with CHPP products connecting to Hattrick

We are currently investigating the reports that some CHPP products aren't able to access data on Hattrick. We will keep you informed, once we've found the source of the problem.

Update : A patch has been released that should fix the issue.

10-31-2010 Transfer deadlines extended

Because of tonight's down time, transfer deadlines ending after 23.45 were extended to start ending approximately one hour from now.

10-30-2010 Budproblemer

Enkelte valutaer har problemer med å få lagt inn bud på spillere på overgangsmarkedet. Vi jobber med å fikse dette nå.

Oppdatert: Vi har fikset dette nå, og budgivning skal fungere igjen.

10-29-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader for 29. oktober 2010

Et par småting denne fredagsmorgenen:

- Vi har nå laget et bedre sikkerhetsnett som hjelper brukere å unngå å skrive inn en 0 for mye når de legger inn et bud på overgangsmarkedet.

- Noen mindre korrigeringer på kampordreskjemaet for språk som leses fra høyre til venstre.

10-28-2010 Parallelle ungdomsinvesteringer fjernet

Frem til i dag har en liten andel Hattrick-lag betalt for, og opprettholdt nivåene på, begge ungdomssystemene - selv om de kun har brukt ungdomsakademiet sitt aktivt. Dette var fordi de ikke stengte ned sitt gamle system når overgangsperioden var omme. Vi har nå manuelt fjernet denne ekstra investeringen. Den eneste synlige endringen for disse klubbene vil være at de ukentlige kostnadene reduseres.

10-27-2010 Release notes for October 27th 2010

Today on release Wednesday we release one fix :

Email reminders for Supporters are BACK!

10-16-2010 Really short downtime

Because the team updates in China didn't go through as they should, we had to take down the site for a short while (some 15 minutes or so) around 00.30 HT-time. This in order to fix the underlying problem with the one team that was failing and then to update a database table. After that, the Chinese updates went through as they should.

Transfers between 00.28 and 00.59 was postponed by 30 minutes because of this.

10-14-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader 14.oktober

Noen små korreksjoner og tillegg har blitt utgitt i dag:

- På kampordreskjemaet har vi fikset noen problemer for språk som leses fra høyre til venstre
- Vi har lagt til en lenke til kampordreskjemaet fra kamplisten til ungdomslagene
- Vi har lagt til en manglende ungdomshendelse for CHPP-programmer
- Lagt til muligheten for å søke etter ungdomslagskamper på søkesiden
- Fikset en bug med manglende dato i gjestebøker som kun inneholder ett innlegg.
- Fikset en bug som tilfeldig fjernet abonnement på forum
- Vi har lagt til et ekstra fargetema til økonomigrafene - Excelsior - basert på standard fargetema i Excel 2007

10-10-2010 Short downtime

We apologize for the 20 minute downtime on Sunday evening. This was due to a web server problem. Servers have now been rebooted and are working fine again. Transfers affected were extended by 60 minutes.

10-4-2010 Match kits and logos not visible

Currently logos and match kits which are stored on our servers are not visible. We are looking into the problem and hope to be able to solve the problem shortly. It is no longer necessary to report this problem to your GMs.

Update: The problem has been fixed now.

9-24-2010 Extended transfers, yet another time

And again we experienced another hiccup, and the site was unavailable for a few minutes. Transfers between 14.52 and 15.22 have been extended by 30 minutes because of this.

9-22-2010 Extended transfers again

We experienced another hiccup, and the site was unavailable for a few minutes. Transfers between 19.12 and 19.22 were extended by 20 minutes becausee of this.

And around 21:20 we experienced another hiccup. Transfers between 21.21 and 21.41 were extended by 20 minutes.

As mentioned earlier, we are working hard to find the root of this problem. We've taken a few actions so far, but unfortunately none of them have helped restoring normal operation.

9-22-2010 Transfer Feature on Mobile Site Disabled

Because of some problems with the transfer and bidding features on the Mobile site (http://m.hattrick.org), we've opted to disable them temporarily to avoid anymore wrong bids being placed.

We will work on fixing it and will inform you once it's relaunched again. For now, you can still follow matches on the Mobile site.

9-21-2010 Extended Transfers

Tonight around 21:50 or so we had another hiccup in service. Transfers between 21:52 and 22:10 were extended by 30 minutes.

We are working hard with our provider to investigate the leak that is causing these problems.

9-20-2010 Problem In The Match Order Interface

As some of you may have noticed, the little box that pops up when hovering over a player's name, in the match order form, doesn't show all the information.

We are aware of the problem, so there is no need to report it further to your local GMs. We are working on a fix.

9-15-2010 Transfers extended 15 minutes

We just experienced a little hiccup, and the site was unavailable for a few minutes. We managed to stop the transfer engine at around 16.20, and transfers between 16.20 and 16.34 was extended by 15 minutes because of this hiccup. The transfer engine is running again.

This hiccup is caused by a memory leak. The good news is however that we managed to get a memory dump this time, and we now can analyze it and hopefully find the leak.

9-11-2010 Another downtime

As if we haven't had enough problems lately, we experienced another downtime today. From around 11 to 13.40. The reason for this downtime was a totally different thing than the recent problems, it was due to problems with our firewall.

Transfer deadlines between 11.20 and 14.20 have been extended by 3 hours.

9-9-2010 Youth Academies Planned Down Time

The down time in Youth Academy that was planned to complete the disk check on our new database is no longer needed. The parity check is done and all is running smoothly over there.

9-8-2010 Release Notes For September 8th 2010

Today is Release Wednesday and here is what we have coming for you.

-Non supporters who played 2 matches this week in the Youth Academy, had a forgetful coach who had lost his notes. He's found them again, and you should be able to see training reports as intended.

-We've added a scroll bar to your old matches listings on the match order interface.


We've also fixed some things in the back that will allow us more flexibility with the match order interface. Of course, we have the usual minor tweaks and fixes.

8-27-2010 Youth Academy

The Youth Academy is up and running. You may now set lineups call scouts etc.

Keep in mind that since everyone will be calling their scouts in a hurry, that pools will empty quite fast, so you might want to wait a few days if you can.

8-26-2010 Release Notes For August 26th 2010

Today is release Thursday and here are some of the fixes we have coming for you :

-Because of the down time in the Academy, we've enabled for non supporters, the ability to check training for the past 2 weeks. This will be removed in 8 days, to give everyone the chance to take notes of what your coaches are reporting. You will be able to see those reports when the Academy is reopened.

-We've fixed the date to reflect when you will be able to fire staff again; before it showed the date of hire.

-The History page has been updated with seasons 40 through 42.

Some more minor tweaks and fixes behind that scenes.

8-26-2010 Impossible To Fire Staff / Part 2

It seems that some users were unable to fire staff again. We've now rewritten the code, and you should be able to fire any staffer you need to, barring that it's been at least 7 days since the last hire of that type of staff.

8-26-2010 Youth Academy Down Time Update

We are having to keep the academy down, still, the new estimate is tomorrow mid day.

The estimate of today noon was made when we still thought that performance on the new disk system, that is going through a disk check, would have been enough once the youth match engine had caught up to its schedule. But the tests we made yesterday afternoon and this morning showed that that was not the case. We now have to wait for the disk check to complete.

During this down time, matches booked are played and training is occurring.

We again apologize for all inconveniences this may cause you.

8-25-2010 Youth Academies Down Time

The Youth Academies will remain closed for longer than originally planned. Right now we dont have an estimate to give you. We are monitoring performances of the Youth Engine catching up. And as soon as we know more we will of course let you know.

Update : Right now, it's looking like we might not be able to bring back the YA up today. Estimation is Noon tomorrow. The process is taking a long time. Alot longer than expected. We're monitoring it, to see if it can't/ won't speed up. We'll keep you informed on developments.

8-24-2010 Nedetid: Hvorfor vi ikke kan utsette kamper

Noen brukere spør oss hvorfor vi ikke utsetter kamper i situasjoner som denne. Å omberamme kampene er fristende; det ville være befriende både for mange brukere og oss selv i slike situasjoner. Men systemet er rett og slett ikke designet for dette. Og ved å gjøre det - uten å ha testet det - ville virkelig være å åpne Pandoras eske, og kunne føre til en rekke problemer (kamper som ikke starter, oppdateringer som feiler o.s.v.) i flere måneder fremover. Det er rett og slett ikke verdt det.

Ha i bakhodet at vi i løpet av den siste sesongen har hatt problemer med den tyske cupen og også VM-kamper som ikke har fulgt den forventede tidsplanen, som førte til stor frustrasjon blant brukerne. Vi liker ikke dagens situasjon heller, men vi vil rett og slett ikke risikere å gjøre det verre enn det er.

Dette er hvorfor vi alltid anbefaler å sette standardordrer, i tilfelle noe skulle skje.

8-24-2010 Nedetid: Hva betyr dette for mitt lag?

Vel.. alt du har gjort på Hattrick etter backuptidspunktet i går (dvs rundt 15:00 til 15:30) er borte. Lagoppstillinger du har sendt, treningskamper du har booket, ungdomstrekk du har gjort, spillere du har kjøpt/solgt, forumposter du har lest eller skrevet, nye ansatte du har rekruttert o.s.v. eksisterer ikke lenger og må eventuelt gjøres på nytt.

Det er ett unntak; HT-mails. Backupen for interne e-poster sendt i Hattrick går tilbake til 05:00 HT-tid i går morges. Så alle e-poster sendt siden den gang har forduftet.

Overganger

Alle overganger som skulle finne sted mellom 15:00 i går og 15:00 i dag har fått budfristen utvidet med ett døgn. Vi har lagt til ytterligere litt tid, slik at ingen budfrister skjer før kl 20:00 HT-tid.

Ungdomslag

Ungdomslagene er fortsatt nede slik at motoren for ungdomslag får hentet seg inn. Dette vil være oppe og gå igjen med det første.

Vi har måttet stenge en liten håndfull ungdomslag som ble sittende fast i aktiveringsprosessen når det krasjet. Disse brukerne må starte opp ungdomslaget på nytt igjen.

Spillere som ble hentet opp fra ungdoms- til seniorlag i løpet av et visst tidsrom vises for øyeblikket i begge lag. Dette vil bli ordnet opp i.

Trening i ungdomslaget har funnet sted som normalt.

Forum-serveren er for tiden treg. Vi er klare over situasjonen.

Ved oppetidsoversikten den første dagen neste måned vil HT-Supporter bli utvidet som vanlig som følge av uplanlagt nedetid.

8-23-2010 Impossible To Fire Staff

Some of you may have noticed that you aren't able to fire staffers, despite them having been on your team for over 7 days. We are working on solving this issue.

Update : It has now been fixed. You may fire staff now.

8-19-2010 Email Reminders Not Working

We've been notified that the email reminders aren't working as they should. We are working on a solution right now and we'll let you know when it's fixed. Other reminders work fine.

8-12-2010 New Groups For Round 2 of the WC

The groups for round 2 of the WC have been redrawn, now that all correct teams are known. And the new matches populated.

8-11-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader 11. august 2010

Dette er utgivelses-onsdag og her er det vi har på lur til deg:

- Det var et problem med abonnering på plass i treningskamppotten, hvor du ble kastet ut med en gang du arrangerte din første treningskamp. Dette har blitt fikset. Vennligst kontrollér at du fortsatt er i potten dersom du forventer å være der.

- Noen brukere i Tyskland kunne ikke se sine kamper fordi det stod at kampen skulle spilles 24. august. Dette var et mellomlager-problem (cache) fra vår side, og er ordnet opp i nå.

- Å sortere rekkefølgen på ungdomskamper i HT-Live fungerer som det skal igjen.

8-9-2010 Up again - what happened during downtime

We're now up again after the scheduled maintenance. The game engine however still has some catching up to after the downtime.

During this downtime we have apart from the seasonal database cleanup and the release of the seasonal changes also released:

- Your staff page is now up do date with the staff changes. Accountants are removed (free of charge) and club boards around the Hattrick world have fired staff members to meet the new limits. If your board have fired any staff member for you, you'll find the cost for it among your temporary costs.

- We have changed the rounding of how fans join (and leave), as the old rounding could lead to some weird situations over time. We don't think you'll ever notice any difference, but you should at least know it will work a lot better now.

- The manual has also been updated.

- New fixtures are being used this season. A MyHT telling you more about it will be published on Thursday.

8-8-2010 Transfer problems fixed

The transfer is now running as it should again. Transfers with deadline between 11.15 and 13.40 Ht-time have had their deadlines extended by 4 hours.

8-8-2010 Problems with transfer and more

Due to a database problem you may have experiences problems with the transfer (now stopped) and that mother club money, previous club money have not been delivered (yet).

Also you may have experienced messages about challenges and other things not being delivered.

We're working on the problem


Update : There is also a problem with the Economy data for last week showing just zeros. This is a different problem, and this one is presentational. It should be fixed by Wednesday's release.

8-5-2010 Problems booking friendly matches

It seems that teams who had booked a friendly match with cup participants and had their match deleted are not able to rebook a new one.

We are working on a fix right now.


Update : The fix is now live and everyone, who isn't in their national cup, should now be able to book friendly matches.

8-5-2010 Release Thursday

It's been a few weeks, I'm sure you've missed them...
This is release Thursday and here is what is coming for you.

-New users who could not enter their finance page, are now able to.

-Also you should all be able to see your correct currency on the y axis label.

8-4-2010 Enkelte brukere har problemer med å åpne finanssiden

Noen brukere har rapportert at de ikke kan åpne finanssiden, og hvis du opplever det samme trenger du ikke rapportere det. Vi vil se på dette straks problemet med cupkampene er fikset.

Oppdatering: Dette har blitt løst, men utgivelse av ny kode er nødvendig for å fjerne problemet for alle brukere.

8-4-2010 Cup- og treningskamper omberammet

Oppdatering 23.30: Vi kan nå avslutte denne saken.
Nye cupkamper har blitt satt opp i alle ligaer som var rammet av feilen, og alle cupkamper som har blitt skapt på "vanlig måte" i ettermiddag/kveld er korrekte.

Alle treningskamper som involverte et lag som skal delta i cupen har blitt avlyst, hvilket betyr at enkelte lag som ikke deltar i cupen må arrangere ny treningskamp mot en annen motstander. Du kan nå trygt gi dine kampordrer for din cup- eller treningskamp.



A problem with the cup ranking formula this week has caused incomplete and incorrect Cup games to be created for next week. These games have now been erased.

We are still working on validating the correct rating, and only when this have been done will a new cup draw be created. Please be aware that this affects all teams, as we will also need to remove many friendly games that have already been booked, as teams with friendlies may be heading for the cup instead.

Do not book new friendlies, and if you have, please wait for further information as to what will happen with your scheduled game and any match orders already submitted. We are working hard on getting the schedule right but do not expect to get a final green light on next weeks games until tomorrow.

Update 16.50: We're hopefully starting to see an end to this problem. The faulty ranking has now been dealt with, and new cup matches are currently being created.

Update 20.40: New cup matches for most leagues have now been created, and affected friendly matches have been deleted. We have some stuff left to fix though, in particular the cup matches for Germany, before we can close this subject.

7-29-2010 Problems With Youth Matches

We are experiencing problems with the youth match engine. Matches starting after 17:35 are delayed.

Edit: Matches have now started the engine will catch up.

7-24-2010 For lave toppskårerpremier? Ja, og nei

Vi har mottatt rapporter om at toppskårerpremiene som har blitt betalt ut denne helgen har vært for lave; 1/10 av korrekt verdi for å være nøyaktig. Men dette er heldigvis kun et visningsproblem. Vennligst ikke kontakt din lokale GM om dette; vi vil fikse dette straks serierunden har blitt fullført i alle land.

7-18-2010 A taste of what is to come

This weekend, we gave you an unplanned taste of some of the changes that are coming to the match engine next season. The updates to how we handle overconfidence and cup experience events, as well as some changes to how Special events are created, went live on Friday, a few weeks ahead of schedule. The effects have been visible in some NT games as well as in the league games this weekend. We are sorry about this, while the code has worked correctly we had no intention of releasing this before we gave you a more detailed presentation of the changes. Before the Cup games this week, these changes will be reversed. In the upcoming season break, we will make a proper release of these changes.

7-12-2010 Database Problems

As some of you may have noticed, we are experiencing problems with the forums and some delays with youth academy matches and updates. This is because our database servers are running at full capacity. We are doing some maintenance on them as I write this, to try and fix the problem. Hopefully everything will be in order soon, but be advised that the site might have to be taken down in order to ensure that they have enough capacity to get the maintenance job done and catch up with updates and matches.

Update : Things are now sorted, and the engine is catching up. Thank you for your patience.

6-23-2010 Lineup interface

For those having problems with the lineup interface where only some of your players show up on the right hand side, if any at all : using the simple lineup interface should work.

We are investigating the problem and will try to fix it as soon as possible.

update : The problem should now be resolved. Using both lineup interfaces should work.

6-23-2010 Problems with disappearing forums

Some of you may have noticed your subscribed public forums disappearing. We are aware of the issue and are investigating it.

Also, sadly your preference settings for those forums are likely lost. You should be able to add them to your list again and sort them.

This problem seems to affect a small number of users.

6-23-2010 Release Notes for June 23rd 2010

Today is release Wednesday.


Match Order Interface:

-We've added + and - buttons on the slider in the substitution tab, to allow for minute by minute setting.

-The reset button also has been changed to clear.

-For teams with players who sport the same name, the initial was added.

Web:

-On the finance page, we've eliminated a source of confusion by removing the week number. Now it states only "Last Week" and "This Week".

There were other changes made on the back end that you'll feel but not see, such as implementing version numbers for certain things which will help when you had to clear your cache at times for things to function properly.

It should also be noted that the 15 minute cut off for providing match orders doesn't always work properly. We are aware of the problem and are investigating it.

6-19-2010 New Finances page showing you strange numbers?

There is a problem with the new Finances page showing the wrong numbers (for the previous week). This happens during the weekend to many but not all users. It depends on the difference between when your league has its weekly economy update in comparisson to when the Hattrick Week is officialy incremented to a new week.

We're currently working on a fix for this.

Update: A fix has been released which should now mean that the previous week in the current finances view is displayed with the correct numbers. We will continue to work on this issue and check the other views as well. It may take a few days until all things are settled but most important is that you now can see your current financial status correctly.

6-16-2010 Release Notes for June 16th 2010

Today is release Wednesday and here is what is coming your way :

-There was a bug that protected forwards from getting carded in matches. That has been fixed, they are no longer immuned of naughty behaviour.

-Today we release the new and improved finance page. It should be known that it only shows financial data dating back to week 8 of last season and for fans and sponsors moods dating back to week 13 of last season. That is when we started collecting these informations.

There were a few other tweaks and fixes, but mostly on the back end of things.

6-14-2010 Paypal problems

When creating an order in the shop you are usually able to pay by using Paypal. Due to a software problem we are having problems with Paypal at the moment. We hope this problem will be fixed during the week.

Update: The problem should be fixed now. If you run into problems using Paypal please contact our Customer Services department from the Contact page.

6-9-2010 Release Notes for June 9th 2010

Today is release Wednesday and here are a few fixes coming your way:

Match order interface :

-Some presentational bugs were fix in the normal form.

-On the simple form, in the sub orders, the in and out boxes were wrong for right to left languages. This has been fixed.

-On the simple form, there was a problem with the form interpreting the wrong player as Keeper when trying to change orders. This has now been fixed.

-Now when you place a match order for your youth team, the checkmark should appear both on your match page and the league page. In the past, for away teams, it didn't work.

Match Engine:

-The format of the minutes in the countdown was fixed.

-For NT and U20 players, you could see in their stats on the National Team's page what was going to happen in the match they were currently playing. These will now be hidden until the match is over.

-On the transfer market, in some cases the minimum bids prompted were too low. This is now solved.

-From now on, when scouting a player in the academy, if your scout gives you a specialty, it will be indicated on your player's page.

-The insurance premium for injured NT and U20 players will be paid at 21.45 as it should be.

Web:

-5 latest logins accessed through the left side menu is now fixed.

-When challenging teams for friendly matches, your session will remember venue (home or away) and match type (normal or cup rules)

And a slew of other minor tweaks and fixes.

6-2-2010 Release Notes June 2nd 2010

Today is release Wednesday and here are a few fixes coming your way:

In the Youth Academy :

-You might have noticed that you now get messages that secondary training has topped for one of your players. That didn't use to happen, it is now fixed.

Web:

-In certain circumstances, sending an HT-mail or challenge from the manager's page would, instead, send it to you. This is resolved.

-Editors can now edit articles directly.

-You can now sort by leadership and experience on your players' page.

-There were problems with the latest 5 loggins visible on manager's page. It's now fixed.

On the match order interface :

-Attitude and tactics now also get reset when pressing the reset button.

-You can now sort by category, age, TSI, leadership, first name and last name.

-Category, age and TSI were added to the player card.

-The order of the subs has been switched and now go from top to bottom as opposed to bottom to top previously. In order to help with usability, sub orders have also been numbered now.

-Added the 15 minutes warning to Youth matches and NT matches.

-For non supporters, the default sorting is now last name.

Match reports:

-The presentational bug in regards to formation after a sub was executed is now fixed.

-The problem, after an order, of players playing from normal to normal instead of, for example, towards wing to defensive, has been fixed.

-A few changes to the right hand side of the match report. Added information.

Some other minor fixes and tweaks were also made.

6-1-2010 Speidernettverk i stedet for ungdomssatsning

Vi skifter navn på det gamle juniorsystemet (ungdomssatsning) til Speidernettverk. Dette fordi det gamle navnet kunne lede til forvirring og sammenblanding med ungdomslagene.

Vennligst merk deg at denne navneendringen kun vil bli gjort på språk hvor navnene var forholdsvis like (for eksempel på norsk og engelsk). Mange språk bruker allerede navn som er lett å skille fra hverandre, og disse vil naturligvis forbli som de er.

Merk deg også at selv om vi har endret vår "hovedspråkversjon" vil det kanskje ta noen dager for dine lokale oversettere å få utført alle endringene.

5-26-2010 Release Notes

Today is release Wednesday and here are a few fixes coming your way :

Engine fixes:

- Some of you may have noticed, when you had conditional substitutions in a game, it would scramble the order in which your players were listed at the start of the game, giving away possible outcomes to the game. This has been fixed and will no longer happen.

- Your coach will help your team regain organization before extra time if you've suffered confusion.

Web:

- You can now send messages and challenges directly from the manager's page, not only from the team's page.

- Experience and leadership are now visible on the players' page.

- Best Players are now visible on the head to head supporter stats page. Since the new engine they weren't.

- For supporters, you can now erase the comments made by your players, by editing to an empty one.

- It was sometimes possible to transfer list a player without him having played a single game, or the right amount of games for your team. This is not possible anymore.

Match Order Interface:

- There is now a check in place that will make sure your captain and setpiece taker are in your starting lineup.

- When editing a lineup, some users were experiencing a hanging rotating star when trying to save. The work around was to delete your subs and start over. This is now fixed.

- Since the new engine, sub orders, attitude and tactics given in a default lineup were not carried out. This has now been fixed.

- There were situations when 16 minutes or so before a game, the engine would reject the orders. This is now back to 15 minutes as it should be.

As the devs were having a sort of bug boot camp, there are other minor fixes and tweaks that were also done.

5-19-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

I dag er det utgivelses-onsdag, og vi har et par forbedringer til dere.

Som du kan se er systeminfo-en nå synlig på Mitt Hattrick-siden i 7 dager. Pass på å lese dette med jevne mellomrom, siden det iblant kan være viktig informasjon til deg.

I kampmotoren :

Når en dødballtaker blir skadd eller utvist, vil den øverste ledige spilleren på straffeskytterlisten ta over hans dødballoppgaver. (Det var ment å fungere sånn helt fra starten av, men det fungerte ikke helt etter planen før nå).

På kampordreskjemaet :

Vi har også lagt til forkortelser for innbytterne; dette gjelder på menyen for spillerbytter/ordrer. Disse forkortelsene henviser til posisjonen på miniatyrbanen i "avanserte betingelser".

5-12-2010 Treningsbug for venstrespisser

Det har vært en bug hvor spisser som har spilt på plassen til venstre ikke har mottatt trening i målskåring. Dette problemet har vært der siden første kamp i den nye kampmotoren. Det har blitt fikset nå, og denne ukens trening ikke vil bli påvirket. Det har ikke vært noen bug i forhold til form og kondisjon; på disse områdene har venstrespissene fått trening som normalt. Ungdomslagene har ikke vært rammet av bug'en i det hele tatt.

Vi må beklageligvis meddele at det ikke vil bli noen kompensasjon for den tapte treningen, ettersom det er helt umulig for oss å kompensere på en rettferdig måte for alle som har vært involvert.

5-11-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

Denne uken kommer utgivelsen en dag tidligere enn normalt.

I kampordreskjemaet:

- Det er nå forkortelser i boksene som markerer posisjonene på banen.

- For innbytterordrer har vi merket av de baneposisjonene som er opptatte.

I det enkle kampordreskjemaet:

- Vi har endret på hele opplegget rundt spillerbytter.

- Vi har lagt til draktnumrene (for Supportere).

5-5-2010 Release Notes

Today is release Wednesday and we've got a few fixes for you.

Fixes for the simple form :

-You can now load lineups from previous matches

-You can now save lineups with names

-You can now sort players

Fixes for the normal form :

-Importing previous matches lineups should now work

-Default sorting is now numbers for supporters

-You should also be able to delete formerly saved lineups

-The names of boxes on the bench have now been moved below so that you can see what each box is even when there is a player there.

Fix for the Shop:

-The shipping cost is now only added at the end when you check out.

4-29-2010 Serverproblemer, oppfølgeren

Så snart den tidligere sysinfo-meldingen ble publisert falt serverene ned igjen. Overgangene ble stoppet kl. 21.05 og restartet igjen ca. kl. 22.00. Overgangene som ble påvirket ble utvidet med 60 minutter denne gangen.

4-29-2010 Serverproblemer

Som noen av dere muligens har oppdaget, har vi serverproblemer i kveld. Overgangsmotoren ble stoppet kl. 19.35 og gjenåpnet ca. kl. 21.00. Alle overganger ble utvidet med 90 minutter.

4-28-2010 Release Notes

Today is release Wednesday and here is what we have coming for you :

In the Order form :

- We've changed the way of saving default lineups. We are back to the good old trusted check mark. More about this in the MyHT

-You now have new sorting attributes, and more are coming.

-We've fixed some compatibility issues with earlier versions of Firefox, that lead to a hanging rotating star.

-You will now have access to your past 4 away lineups and 4 home lineups under the Matches tab on the Lineups button.


In the simple form :

- You can now set a default lineup. By ticking the box at the bottom of the page.

- We've switch the behaviour and new position boxes. It makes more sense this way as the behaviour affects the position, not the other way around.

Lineup page :

- The Captain and Set piece taker swapped places on the lineup page to match the order form. We've also removed the big gap on the lineup page.

- For the sake of consistency, we've disabled the preference which allowed you to flip the old flash order form, because it also affected the lineup page. This feature will eventually be brought back.


In other news :

- The user manual is now up to date

- The new xml files for CHPP applications are now fixed an available.

4-26-2010 Problemer med å arrangere ungdomskamp gjennom utfordringspotten

Enkelte lag har problemer med å arrangere en ungdomskamp gjennom utfordringspotten. Vi sjekker saken.

Oppdatert: Problemet er nå løst.

4-22-2010 To endringer i kampordreskjemaet

Når du henter en tidligere kampordre vil du nå også få innbytter og straffesparkordrene med for den kampen.

Vi har også løst "venstre er høyre"-feilen i kampordreskjemaet for synshemmede.

4-21-2010 Release Notes

-We've changed how things work a bit. For teams who haven't entered a lineup, for example new teams or teams who haven't logged on, a 442 lineup will be made "on the fly" by the engine. So that a Walk Over doesn't happen.

The one important condition that needs to be met for this to happen, is that the lineup needs to be completly empty. If there is as little as one player saved, this functionality will not work.

-Also with regards to some teams fielding 0-0-0 lineups despite having submitted orders. We are adding an extra check, that will notify you if there is something causing your orders to not be accepted by the engine. Wether the error is human (ie yours), or technical (ie ours), if your orders can't be saved, you should get a notification.

- It should also be noted that orders fielding less than 9 players, or without a keeper won't be accepted anymore.

- Formation experience for NT and U20 teams is now showing all formations that the new engine allows.

-Sub orders were shown as "playing normal" in the right panel of the match report, regardless of what the real order was. This has now been fixed and it was only presentational.


4-20-2010 For sterke bots

Som noen av dere kanskje har lagt merke til, så har vi hatt botlag med virkelig sterke oppstillinger i noen av dagens mesterskapskamper. Oppstillingene deres ble valgt tilfeldig, noe som gjorde at sterkere spillere enn vanlig kom på banen. Dette er nå blitt løst. Løsningen trer i kraft for kamper som er programlagt å starte tirsdag kveld kl. 22.00 (HT-tid) og utover.

4-20-2010 Mer nytt i kampordreskjemaet

Noen ting er blitt lagt til og noen ting er endret på i kampordreskjemaet.

Den vanlige skjemaet:
- Nå kreves det et unikt navn for å kunne lagre en oppstilling.
- Noen endringer er gjort for landslagstrenerne (og flere vil bli tilført senere i dag).

En generell bemerkning: Om du opplever en hengende, roterende stjerne når du prøver å lagre, skyldes det sannsynligvis at innbytterordren har blitt foreldet. Inntil en skikkelig løsning er innført kan problemet løses ved å slette innbyttene og sette dem inn igjen.

Skjemaet for synshemmede:
- Innbytter er nå med.
- Fulle navn i menyene.

Legg merke til at innbyttedelen enda ikke er helt endelig. Inntil videre:
- For å endre innstilling på en spiller, plasser ham i både inn- og utmenyene.
- For minuttfeltet: 0 minutter = hvilket som helst minutt.

4-14-2010 Utgivelsesnotater

Flere ting har blitt utgitt denne onsdagen.

Det var en feil som gjorde at angripere og vinger ble byttet om på innbytterbenken. Dette kunne føre til at feil spiller kom inn på banen. Vi har byttet dem om i lagrede ordrer og oppstillinger. Kanskje du bør sjekke en ekstra gang for å være sikker på at tingene er som du vil ha dem.

Feilen som gjorde at formasjonserfaringen ikke ble korrekt oppdatert er nå rettet. Det vil fungere for kamper som blir spilt fra nå av. Dessverre er ikke denne løsningen retroaktiv for treningskamper som ble spilt før utgivelsen.

Det var en presentasjonsfeil i formasjonserfaring over utmerket. Du kommer kanskje til å se at formasjonserfaringen din går ned, men det er kun presentasjonen. Den egentlige verdien har ikke endret seg.

Fra nå av vil innbytterordrene med feil oppførsel bli endret til normal og bli utført av kampmotoren.

Den siste kampen en spiller har spilt vil nå være synlig på hans kampside. Han har fått trening, det var også kun en presentasjonsfeil.

Endringer utgitt i forbindelse med kampordreskjemaet :

Du kan nå fjerne straffesparktakeren.
Flere presentasjonsfeil er rettet for IE.

Endringer utgitt i forbindelse med kampordreskjemaet for synshemmede :

Ny overskrift på taktikk
Venstre er høyre, og høyre er venstrefeilen
Unike spillere som straffesparksskyttere
En sentral midtbanespiller kan nå spille defensivt
Laginnstilling dukker kun opp når den bør

4-14-2010 Omtrekking av cupen 2

Alle cupkampene har nå blitt trukket. Og denne gangen skal de være korrekte. Tredje gangen skal det skje, sies det.

Vi setter pris på tålmodigheten dere har vist gjennom disse tumultene.

4-14-2010 Formasjonserfaring

Vi har et problem med hvordan formasjonserfaringen blir oppdatert for taktiske formasjonsendringer som blir gjennomført i løpet av kamp. Vi jobber med en løsning på dette.

4-14-2010 Omtrekking av cupen

Cupkampene ble trukket på ny i går kveld, men de er fremdeles ikke korrekte. Enda en omtrekking vil finne sted i morgen. Om du forventer å spille cupkamp, pass på å ikke avtale treningskamp for neste uke, da den kan bli avlyst.

4-13-2010 Cupkamper

Kampene som er trukket til første runde i cupen er feil. Vi jobber med å løse saken.

Vennligst ikke arranger vennskapskamper før kampene er trukket igjen, og korrigert.

4-13-2010 Overganger

Overgangsmarkedet ble stoppet kl. 12:50 HT-tid. Fristene ble derfor utsatt med seks timer. For de overganger som skjedde mellom kl. 12.25 og 12.50 må bi beklage, men vi rakk ikke å stoppe dem i tide.

Samkjøringen pågår fremdeles. Vi har truffet på noen problemer, som vi håper skal være i orden så fort som mulig. Så om dine spilleres navn f.eks. mangler fra kampreferatet vil dette på et tidspunkt bli ordnet.

4-13-2010 Nedetid

Det har tatt litt lengre tid enn forventet å klargjøre databasen for den nye motoren. Siden er nå oppe igjen, men du vil kunne se at dine spillernavn stadig mangler i kampreferatene, og at den siste kampdelen for spillersidene også er tom. Mens dette skriver er vi i gang med å importere disse dataene fra det gamle formatet til det nye. Det skulle snart være på plass.

4-11-2010 Opp- og nedrykk

Vi har fått vite at det er problemer med opp- og nedrykk i enkelte land. Vi undersøker saken.

Og så er problemet med ungdomskampene funnet og motoren jobber nå for livet. Dine kamper bør snart bli spilt.

4-9-2010 Endringer som er gjort i begge kampordreskjemaene

Her er nye endringer som er blitt utgitt i dag.

For kampordreskjemaet:
- Innbyttere
- Linker til eldre kampoppsett (fra kampoversiktssiden)
- Infoboks dekker spillerliste i noen språkversjoner
- Å flytte en valgt spiller fjerner ham ikke fra straffesparklisten
- Ordrer blir ikke sendt om du lagrer oppstillingen samtidig, dette er nå endret

For kampordreskjemaet for synshemmede:
- Laginnstilling og taktikk vil nå være korrekt.
- Lagre oppstillingen vil være en normal knapp.
- Ingen spillere i innstillings- eller taktikkmenyene.

En ny liste med mulige forbedringer vil snart bli utgitt.

4-9-2010 Feil som er fikset i det nye kampordreskjemaet for seniorer

Dette innlegget vil bli oppdatert løpende med feil som vi er klar over i det nye kampordreskjemaet for seniorene. Viktigst av alt vil det også vise når vi har rettet en feil.

Kjente feil
- Innbyttene fungerer ikke. De blir faktisk lagret i databasen, men koden som burde lese dem igjen når en kampordre blir vist fungerer ikke korrekt. Dette vil bli rettet så snart som mulig.

- Noen linker viser fremdeles til det gamle kampordreskjemaet. Dette gjelder linkene på kampsiden, i forhåndsvisningen og i fanene. Dette er løst og vil bli utgitt fredag morgen.

- I det enkle kampordreskjemaet inneholder menyen for taktikker laginnstillinger og også listen over alle spillerne. I stedet inneholder laginnstillingsmenyen taktikk-verdiene (bare synlig for serie- og cupkamper). Dette er løst og vil bli utgitt fredag morgen.

Feil som er fikset
- Formasjonserfaring ble vist som ikke-eksisterende for 4-4-2 og de nye mulige formasjonene. Dette skyldtes at databasen enda ikke hadde lagret de nye startverdiene, og selvfølgelig hadde dette ingen effekt, da verdiene ikke vil bli brukt før kampene faktisk blir spilt med den nye motoren neste uke.

4-7-2010 Bedre stjerneratinger på ungdomslagene

Mange har på forumene uttrykt bekymring omkring ungdomsspillerne sine, siden de nå får mye bedre stjerneratinger (med den nye motoren). Dette er dog ikke en feil.

Grunnen til at ungdomsspillerne nå får bedre ratinger er delvis på grunn av endringene nå, men faktisk også på grun av tidligere endringer (opp til to år gamle endringer) som ikke har vært inkludert i ungdomslaget før nå. Vi har f.eks. hatt en endring i stjerneratingene for seniorspillerne, for bedre å kunne vise deres egentlige bidrag på banen,og denne endringen trer nå også i kraft hos ungdommene.

Generelt vil alle spillere få flere stjerner, særlig angripere, da de får et boost nå (i tillegg til de tidligere endringene). Videre er økningen også mer merkbar hos multiskillede spillere enn hos monoskillede.

4-6-2010 Ungdomsoppdatering

En oppsummering av problemer i ungdomsavdelingen, relatert til utgivelsen av den nye kampmotoren:

- Problemet med at ingen spillernavn vises i treningsrapportene (og ingen synlige spillerratinger heller) for kamper spilt tidligere enn 06.50 i dag vil bli fikset i løpet av natten/morgenen HT-tid. Dette problemet er egentlig ikke relatert til den nye kampmotoren, det skyldes i stedet en databasefeil.

- Formasjonserfaring ble bare delvis oppdatert i kampene mellom kl. 09.00-17.05. Dette problemet er løst for kampene som statet fra kl. 17.10 og utover. I morgen vil vi se på om det kan gjøres noe for de lagene som ble påvirket.

- Kamper med cupregler ble spilt som normale kamper. Dette er nå løst og fungerte fra og med kampene som startet etter kl. 14.

4-6-2010 Problemer med ungdomskamper som ble spilt kl 09.00

På grunn av en feil i ungdomskampene som ble spilt kl. 09.00 HT-tid i dag stilte alle lagene i en 5-5-0 formasjon. Desverre kan vi ikke spille disse kampene om igjen, så det er ingenting vi kan gjøre ved det nå. Dette problemet er nå blitt løst, og det vil ikke oppstå igjen, men vi kan godt forstå at det er en mager trøst for dere som ble påvirket av dette. :(

Vennligst legg merke til at problemet kun rammet de kampene som startet presis kl. 09.00 i dag.

4-6-2010 Info om ungdomslaget ikke tilgjengelig akkurat nå

På grunn av en feil i en databasetabell vil ikke kampinfo (som f.eks spillerratinger, spillernavn i treningsrapporter) for kamper som startet tidligere enn 06.50 i dag vises.

Denne informasjonen er ikke gått tapt, men det vil ta litt tid å gjøre de tilgjengelige igjen. Vi jobber med saken, men det vil nok i det minste ta resten av dagen.

3-31-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

- Du vil nå måtte vente minst 12 timer mellom hver gang du sparker en spiller fra ungdomsakademiet.

- Vi har lagt til den nye listen over formasjoner på ungdomslagenes treningsside. Men du vil ikke kunne øke eller senke formasjonsnivået for 4-4-2 eller noen av de nye formasjonene før tirsdag kl 09:00.

*Noen av de nye feilene ved det nye brukergrensesnittet har blitt fikset. Du ønsker muligens å sjekke Kampordrebugs-systemmeldingen for å se hvilke det er snakk om.

3-29-2010 Kampforsinkelser

Det er for tiden problemer med kampmotoren, noe som gjør at noen av kveldens seriekamper ikke blir spilt og at oppdateringer ikke blir gjennomført. Vi undersøker situasjonen, men akkurat nå er det vanskelig å si når vi er tilbake igjen som normalt.

Oppdatert 29.03.2010 08:00
Problemet har blitt fikset og kampmotoren spiller nå gjennom alle kampene som ble forsinket.

Oppdatert 29.03.2010 09:45
Alle kampene har nå blitt spilt.

3-26-2010 Kampordrebugs

Vi har fikset et par feil i betaen til det nye kampordreskjemaet. Denne posten vil bli oppdatert med den gjeldende statusen over kjente bugs, slik at du vet hva som er rapportert og reparert i det siste.

Reparert
- Lagoppstillinger ble ikke lagret, selv om melding som bekreftet det motsatte ble gitt. Fungerer nå som det skal.
- Spill kreativt mangler som et taktisk valg. Er nå inkludert.
- Laginnstilling bør vare normal som standard, og nå er den det.

Må fikses
- Kan ikke bruke skadde spillere eller spillere med rødt kort
- Hvis man flytter en spiller som er satt som dødballtaker blir han fjernet fra dødballsboksen
- Dødballstaker og lagkaptein kan ikke bli fjernet fra boksen sin (kun erstattes av en annen spiller)
- Når man drar en spiller fra banen tilbake til listen blir ikke formasjonsinformasjonen på toppen oppdatert.
- Selv om det ikke er spillere på banen (og ingen innbyttere satt opp) blir spillerne synlige i innbytterfanen når man sorterer etter evne i dropdown-menyen.
- Feil formasjonsrutine blir vist (i det minste for noen brukere)
- Målvakter kan være dødballtakere (skal ikke være lovlig)
- Minuttmarkøren for innbyttere går bare til 115 minutter.
- Noen brukere rapporterat deres "endrer oppstilling"-vindu ikke forsvinner helt.

For forbedringer (ting som enda ikke er implementert) se posten under.

3-25-2010 "Må gjøres" i forbindelse med det nye kampordreskjemaet

Når vi nå lanserer det nye kampordreskjemaet for ungdomslagene som en beta, tenkte vi å lage en liste over kjente problemer slik at dere kan se hva vi jobber med. Listen kan utvikle seg ved at nye problemer blir meldt til oss, så pass på å sjekke den løpende for å se hva som skjer. Lykke til med testingen.

På listen for normal kampordre:
- Spilleralder og draktnummer bør finnes som sorteringsvalg
- Posisjoner (IM, sentral forsvarer etc.)for innbyttere innbokset (for å få bedre oversikt)
- Vise opptatte posisjoner i minifeltet
- Når en posisjon velges i minifeltet bør andre relevante områder også velges.*
- Fjerne ikke-gjennomførbare oppførselsalternativer for innbyttere (for eksempel offensiv målvakt)

3-25-2010 "Må gjøres" i sammenheng med kampordreskjemaet for synshemmede.

Versjonen vi slipper i dag er en tidlig beta. Vi setter pris på deres tilbakemeldinger på denne. Stå fritt til å besøke Hattrick Access forum, for å hjelpe oss å forbedre brukervennligheten. Her vil du også finne en liste over kjente problemer som vi allerede jobber med. Legg merke til at du må gå på innstillinger for å få den nye funksjonen. Gå til innstillinger og velg Kampordreskjema for synshemmede.

Synshemmede brukere (og for mobil og eldre nettlesere som IE6)
- Javascript-godkjennelse (slik at du ikke kan bruke samme spiller to ganger etc.)
- Innbytter
- Kort
- Standardoppstilling
- Helse
- Spillerevner
*Dette skjemaet skal også brukes for mobiler og eldre nettlesere som f.eks IE6

3-18-2010 Ubalansert belastningsbalanserer

Jeg er sikker på at du har lagt merke til at nummeret på webserveren er tilbake i adresselinjen. Med alle problemene (nedetid, firefoxproblemer, treghet osv.) vi har opplevd den siste måneden, har vi besluttet å droppe bruken av den nye balansereren. Det virker som om den var roten til alt vondt. Den maktet rett og slett ikke å gjøre det den skulle gjøre, og hardwareleverandøren fant ingen umiddelbar løsning. Så nå er vi tilbake til den gamle, pålitelige måten å balansere belastningen på serverne våre. Nettstedet bør være raskere enn det har vært i det siste, og påliteligheten skal nå være det den bør være. Det kan hende at vi går tilbake til belastningsbalansereren ved en senere anledning, men for øyeblikket var det klokere å gjøre slutt på galskapen. Noen ganger er det rett og slett slik at det gamle er best.

Denne uken har vi også fikset opp i problemet med at kamper forsvant i kampviseren.

3-17-2010 Midnight Blues

Vi opplevde noe nedetid mellom 01 og 02 HT-tid, som førte til at overgangsmarkedet ble utsatt med en time. Vi har planlagt tøff kjærlighetsterapi med serverne i morgen tidlig og håper at de vil begynne å se ting fra vår side fremover.

3-16-2010 Stygg forumbug

For de av dere som opplevde at forum forsvant i morges: løsningen er å være logget ut av Hattrick i 15 minutter, for så å komme tilbake. Da burde du være i stand til å gjenopprette forumene dine og justere forumsinnstillingene dine igjen.

Problemet lå hos en webserver cache, og 15 minutter skulle være tilstrekkelig tid for å slette.

Om du skulle fortsette å ha dette problemet etter å ha forsøkt deg på løsningen over, vennligst rapporter det til oss.

Og mens vi snakker om feil, om du har problemer med å logge inn med Firefox, så prøv at slette browserens cache. Lukke alle faner og start igen. Det skulle være tilstrekkelig.

3-10-2010 Sortere kamper i HT Live

Det er nå mulig for deg å sortere kampene dine i HT Live, slik at du kan velge rekkefølgen. Bare hold muspekeren over en av kampene på kamplisten, og sorteringspilene vil dukke opp.

3-3-2010 Oi, oi! Et lys i (server)tunnelen!

Vi er nå ganske sikre på at vi har funnet årsaken til den siste tids serverproblemer. Det skyldes lekkasje av minne. Av en eller annen grunn er det noe som forbruker enormt med minne, og med tiden blir minnenivået så lavt at serveren som håndterer brukersesjonene krasjer - og tar nettet med seg. Vi er lettet over å ha funnet årsaken, men på samme tid bør dere vite at det er virkelig vanskelig å finne nøyaktig hva som fører til minnelekkasjen, og det vil ta noe tid å finne ut av.

Men siden vi nå vet hva som forårsaker problemet kan vi også gjøre noe mot det, for å unngå at siden bryter ned igjen. Det er også det vi har gjort nå. De fleste tiltakene er allerede aktive (og flere vil komme etterhvert). Vi tror ikke at dere vil merke noen forskjell, og vi håper at tiltakene vil sette en stopper for alle sammenbruddene vi har hatt den siste tiden.

(Når det er sagt er vi likevel nødt til å finne ut av hva det er som stjeler minneplass, før vi rent faktisk kan garantere at problemet ikke oppstår igjen).

3-3-2010 Overgangsmarkedet fullt tilgjengelig igjen

Med dagens oppdatering fikk vi fikset gårsdagens problem med tilkomsten til overgangsmarkedet. Bortsett fra det er det ikke stort mer å fortelle denne uken. Mesteparten av vårt pågående arbeid dreier seg om kommende endringer (se ledere) og detektivarbeid om nåværende serverproblemer.

3-2-2010 Overgangsmarkedet

For tiden er det et problem med å nå overgangsmarkedet ved å gå via lagsiden eller snarveien oppe i høyre hjørne. Om du tar veien via Verden --> Overgangssøk (under Internasjonalt) vil du finne frem.

Det bør påpekes at alle linkene virker i noen nettlesere.

2-27-2010 Nedetid igjen

I ca. 40 minutter i dag lå Hattrick nede igjen. Vi har problemer med en server som er viktig for systemet, men som uten forvarsel innimellom faller ut, og tar nettet med seg. Vi jobber fremdeles med å løse denne saken, og vil mest sannsynlig ha problemer både i dag og i morgen. Vi vil gjøre alt som står i vår makt for å begrense nedetiden så mye vi overhodet kan, og håper på å finne en permanent løsning innen neste uke.

2-26-2010 Serverproblemer, igjen

Fredag morgen opplevde vi serverproblemer og enda noe nedetid. Akkurat som i forrige uke var det serveren som behandler all brukerdata som var involvert (det er nesten som om den forsøker å si at den ikke liker helger), selv om det ikke var akkurat det samme problemet denne gangen.

På grunn av problemets art fikk vi først ikke opp en melding om at nettet var nede. Overgangsmarkedet ble derimot stanset, og alle overganger med deadline under nedetiden har blitt forlenget.

2-24-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

I løpet av den siste uken har vi fått rapporter om at sluttresultatet ble vist i HT Live før kampen var ferdigspilt. Etter nærmere undersøkelser viste det seg at dette kun skjedde med brukere som brukte Livefox (en CHPP-utvidelse). Vi har etter alt å dømme funnet løsningen på problemet, men vi skal holde et øye med dette for å være 100% sikre.

Andre ting utgitt i dag:
- Denne systeminformasjonssiden har nå fått et arkiv (link nederst på denne siden), i tilfelle du en gang i fremtiden skulle få et ønske om å lese gamle meldinger om igjen.
- Fikset en bug som gjorde det umulig å trekke opp juniorspillere som var 17 år og 0 dager gamle.
- En del mindre rettelser og justeringer på forumet.

2-21-2010 Nedetid søndag

Dessverre har vi hatt en ny runde med nedetid i dag, midt under søndagens kamper. Årsaken er den samme som på fredag og lørdag; serveren som styrer øktdataene bryter sammen og må startes på nytt. Dette resulterer i at webserverne ikke aksepterer nye tilkoblinger, og utenfra får man inntrykk av at Hattrick er nede (mens de som allerede er pålogget kan surfe videre)..
Denne situasjonen er selvsagt helt uholdbar og vil bli løst snarest, men så langt har vi altså ikke klart å eliminere problemet, og dette må vi bare beklage.

Overganger som hadde deadline rundt kl 14:00 HT-tid har fått forlenget budfristen med to timer.

2-19-2010 Ny, kort nedetid

Vi har hatt to nye runder med servertrøbbel i kveld. Problemet er en server vi oppgraderte i går, som jobber med øktdataene til dem som er pålogget, og i forbindelse med dette har det tydeligvis oppstått et problem. Vi er naturligvis i full gang med å undersøke dette og finne en løsning. Budfrister for overganger som skulle ha funnet sted i løpet av den andre nedeperioden har blitt utvidet med en time.

2-19-2010 Overgangsfrister utvidet etter nedetid

Hattrick har vært nede pga et serverproblem. Alle budfrister på overgangsmarkedet har derfor blitt utvidet med 2 timer.

Oppdatering: Vi har utvidet budfristene med ytterligere en time fordi mange brukere har hatt problemer med å logge seg inn. Dette problemet skal nå være fikset.

2-19-2010 Problemet med Managerlisensen er løst

Problemet med Managerlisensen (se under) er nå løst og alle berørte lag har fått pengene sine.

2-18-2010 Ingen belønning for å ha fullført Managerlisens-utfordringer

For tiden har vi problemer med at nye lag ikke mottar penger etter å ha fullført Managerlisens-utfordringer. Vi undersøker dette problemet, og vil fikse det så snart vi kan. Vi vil selvsagt også se til at pengene blir utbetalt så snart som mulig til de lagene som venter på belønning. Det er ikke nødvendig å kontakte deres lokale GM om dette.

2-17-2010 Velkommen! ...Og noen utgivelsesmerknader

Aller først, hjertelig velkommen til vår nye systeminformasjonsside! Vi håper du vil finne den nyttig. Nedenfor finner du merknader om det vi har utgitt gjennom en testfase på Stage. På bunnen finner du også den gamle introduksjonen til Stage, men den er fortsatt like gyldig i dag.

Utgitt i dag:
- Skader og kort er nå alltid synlig på spillersiden, også mens det spilles kamper. Men kort- og skadestatusen vil ikke være oppdaterte før etter kampen.
- En notis på spillersiden (og på transfermarkedet) informerer deg om at den aktuelle spilleren spiller en kamp for øyeblikket.
- Tabellposisjon, seiersrekke etc vil også være synlig på klubbsiden (pluss en notis når laget spiller en kamp).

Disse punktene overfor forbedrer to ting: Fair play på overgangsmarkedet (noen managere spekulerte i å selge deres skadde spillere når kamper ble spilt og spillerens skadestatus var skjult), og slutten på enkelte spoilere som kunne røpe utfallet av kampen før den var ferdigspilt.

Bortsett fra disse tingene har vi også fikset en del småtterier på forumet, og naturligvis har vi også lanseringen av denne siden og bloggen.

Når vi snakker om bloggen, så er det verdt å nevne at LA-ene nå har mulighet til å oversette våre systeminformasjonsmeldinger. Men denne oversettelsesjobben anser vi som et høyst frivillig oppdrag. Så hvis du kan lese denne meldingen på et annet språk enn engelsk, kan du takke din lokale LA for dette.

2-4-2010 Noen endringer i HT Live i denne ukens utgivelse

Blant koden utgitt denne uken er det noen endringer og forbedringer til HT Live:
- Resultatene i kampoversikten oppdateres ved scoringer i straffesparkkonkurranse.
- Ny nedtelling for kamper som vises direkte
- Resultatet vises i uthevet skrift når kampen er over.
- Fikset problemet med at det korrekte resultatet i walkover-kamper ikke vises i kampoversikten.

Vi har også fikset den kosmetiske feilen på overgangssiden hvor moderklubbspenger ikke ble vist.

1-20-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

Ny kode utgitt i dag, og det viktigste er at vi har gjort en endring som skal fikse problemet med sene kamprapporter i USA (kamprapportene har vært 20-25 minutter forsinket). Vi har endret tidspunkt for noen oppdateringer som antageligvis var skyld i forsinkelsene.

Ellers:

Cuphistorie-problem for de to siste sesongene er fikset.

Opprykkstekster (f.eks klubben rykket direkte opp) ble vist i seriehistorien. Disse har nå blitt fjernet.

Landslagssjefene kan nå følge landslagsspillernes utvikling.

Fikset en bug som gjorde det mulig å arrangere en juniorvennskapskamp i juniorlagenes sesongpause.

..Og en bunke med småjusteringer...

1-14-2010 Utgivelsesmerknader

Av koden som ble utgitt i går er følgende verdt å nevne:

Generelt
Et problem i en nedfallsmeny ved valg av liga gjorde at enkelte nye brukere som registrerte seg på Hattrick, ble plassert i regionen Berat i Albania (i stedet for en region i sitt eget land). Dette skal nå være fikset.

Fikset et kosmetisk problem (når du selger en egen ungdomsspiller) på den detaljerte oversikten over bud på spillere.

Det irakiske flagget ble oppdatert.

Supporter
Implementerte et brukerforslag; på supportersiden får du nå informasjon om både hvor mange lag du for øyeblikket er supporter av, og det maksimale antall lag du kan være supporter av.

Stage
Fikset en bug som gjorde at fjerningen av inaktive Stage-brukere ikke virket som den skulle.

12-14-2009 Hvor er kvalifiseringskampene?

Opprettelsen av kvalifiseringskamper har blitt utsatt. Vi jobber med dette og håper kampene vil begynne å dukke opp utover dagen, men det vil kunne ta litt tid før alle har fått frem sin kvalifiseringskamp.

12-2-2009 Utgivelsesmerknader

I koden som er utgitt i dag finner vi blant annet...

Generelt:
En justering i innloggingsprosedyren. Enkelte kunne ikke logge inn på første forsøk; dette skal nå være fikset.

En regeloppdatering som angår myntkast i VM (A/U20)

Supporter-relatert:
En fix for pressemeldinger som ikke ble oppdatert på regionssiden.

For eks-Supportere vil ikke avatarene vises lengre.

HTML-tagger skal nå virke i pressemeldingene til ungdomslagene.

Forum:
Fikset et problem med "svar til alle".

11-25-2009 Utgivelsesmerknader og en kort introdusering

Vi utgir ny kode rett som det er, men som regel forteller vi om dette kun når det dreier seg om en ny (og stor) forbedring. Det vi ønsker å gjøre her (bortsett fra å holde deg oppdatert på aktuelle tema) er å skrive noen utgivelsesmerknader for å informere dere om noe av det vi har holdt på med i det siste.

Ikke alt vi gjør er verdt å nevne. Det kan være småplukk som ligger dypt inne i systemene våre eller noe ganske abstrakt som kun vil være interessant for et fåtall nerder der ute, så det er kun en brøkdel av det vi holder på med som vil bli informert om her på denne måten. Men vi håper du finner det interessant å kunne lese litt om det som skjer bak kulissene.

Lansering av større forbedringer, nye regler (o.s.v.) vil fortsatt bli presentert som normalt på Mitt Hattrick, mens vi vil bruke denne plassen til å nevne mindre ting som tross alt også kan være viktig for mange. Noen uker kan det være en lang liste over saker vi har holdt på med, mens andre ganger kan det bare være noen få ting.

Utgitt tidligere i dag:

En ny funksjon som gjør det mulig for deg å rapportere inn bannere som du finner upassende eller som er infisert med virus/skadelig programvare. Du vil finne denne funksjonen på bunnen av hver side.

En ny valgmulighet på siden over laginnstillinger som gjør det mulig å si nei til gratis opprykk (jfr. den siste lederen om "Bot-lag til bånns").

Fikset noen få lenker til ungdomslag hvor youthteamID var blitt mikset sammen med lag-ID til landslag.

Bedre info om navneendringer for lag og kostnadene knyttet til dette (i manualen og på siden for laginnstillinger)

En rekke småjusteringer her og der for å øke ytelsen.
