Must know
  • Issuing a new address invalidates the old one at once: a fresh load of the old address shows Display unavailable.
  • A TV that already has the old board open clears at its next refresh to This display address is no longer active. It does not follow the new address by itself, so walk to each TV and open the new one.
  • Only staff with settings.edit can do this.
The display address is the only thing protecting a board, so if it has been posted somewhere public or forwarded outside the club, replace it.
1

Open the screen

Go to Settings → Club Displays and find the screen’s card. The Display address box explains: “Anyone with it can see this board. Issue a new one if it has been shared beyond the club — the old address stops working immediately.”

Issue the new one

Click New address. The confirmation asks “Issue a new address? Every TV using the old one goes blank until you update it.” Confirm; the toast reads “New display address issued — update the TV”.

Update every TV

Click Copy address and open the new address on each TV that showed this screen. Until you do, those TVs show This display address is no longer active.
Deleting a screen also retires its address for good. Switching Screen is on off is a gentler option: open TVs show This display address is no longer active, and the board comes back by itself at the next refresh once you switch the screen on again. A dropped wifi connection or a brief outage on our side is different: the TV keeps showing its last good board and catches up when the connection returns, so a network blip never blanks the wall.
