My links have stopped working

To create a hyperlink from within your text to a document or web page, simply type the destination URL (eg starting with http:// or www or an email address) into the text box. When you save the page, a link will automatically be created and become visible to the public (note that you will not see the link until you log out). If you find a link has broken in your website (ie it no longer links where you want it to go), the most likely reason is that the destination address no longer exists. For example, if you created a link to a document or website and that document or website has been deleted, then your link will fail. Check that the destination address still exists by browsing to it, then insert it into your text to replace the broken link. For more information on creating hyperlinks, please refer to the online Help.

I can't find my site at its address

Each Sportsground and Schoolground website have their own unique URL (web address) that are a suffix of www.sportsground.co.nz or www.schoolground.co.nz. For example www.sportsground.co.nz/xyzclub or www.schoolground.co.nz/abcschool. Any editor of the website for a sports organisation, club or school can change the URL for its website by logging in and typing a new name. If so, the new name becomes effective immediately, so you will no longer find the website at its previous web address. If you are unable to find the web address for a site, try searching for it from the search pages at www.sportsground.co.nz and www.schoolground.co.nz
