Put it on the glass.

BU template
thanks for fixing that, it's just a ripoff of your Tufts template. looks much better now, so thanks.--Alhutch 13:42, 16 February 2006 (PST)

Styles
Look much better now. I'd still make the sidebar bigger if I were you (8pt is annoying to read, and you still have plenty of space) but it's your site - good luck with everything! Xinoph 14:25, 21 February 2006 (PST)

NFL Schedule
I change the format of the NFL Scores/Schedule from the calendar format to one that makes more sense for the NFL - see what you think! Xinoph 10:10, 23 February 2006 (PST)

Thanks
I try. :-) Xinoph  14:20, 7 March 2006 (EST)

The NHL is still being all uneditable and stuff. Xinoph 17:43, 10 March 2006 (EST)

Test
--DNL 12:54, 26 March 2006 (EST)

Thank you for your compliments re:
My contributions on soccer-related articles. I'm not quite finished yet, so there's going to be some more yet. I hope you enjoy reading my mindspillages as much as I enjoy writing them. Bobo 19:10, 4 May 2006 (EST)

Recaps & Previews
If we're doing recaps as a special page, it would be nice to do series previews as a special page as well; there have been a bunch of those lately, from myself and others. Xinoph 18:30, 18 May 2006 (EST)
 * Maybe for the preview we could have the teams in the title (home and away entered in) and have some way to automatically grab their records, so that appears in the article title to? Or give people a field in which to enter the records? Also, a guideline page on writing preview articles should be around - I can do that. Xinoph  14:07, 20 May 2006 (EST)
 * Not to be too critical, but if you're going to do recaps, I don't think one-liners like New York Yankees 5 New York Mets 4 (May 21, 2006) aren't extraordinarily helpful - though I do appreciate the inclusion of the score in the title! Cheers, * Xinoph 07:01, 21 May 2006 (EST) (Hey, if it was a test, that's cool!)

Quick Note
Just so you know, it's never just "Sox's", from your Sox to Get Crispy article. It's either "The Sox's", "The Red Sox's", or "Boston's". Just a little tip. (Don't worry, I corrected it there) Xinoph  06:26, 20 May 2006 (EST)

avalanche
sorry, I didn't realise

OK
I just thought it was so terrible in quality as to be considered vandalism. And, he created it as a News, rather than Opinion, article, which was inappropriate. But you're right, no big deal. I left a note on his userpage; I bet he doesn't return, anyway. Xinoph 16:12, 3 June 2006 (EST)

Sorry if I posted a story you were working on as well. - Angels Fan 15:41, 15 June 2006 (EST)

Showdowns
Can I put this on the main page? Alex Holowczak
 * For some reason, the bottom tow boxes suddenly became wider. Could you fix that? How did it happen? (If you could fix the same problem on the Template:England Page Right I'd be grateful!) It happens whenever I edit the England page, and it happened just on the main page. Why? Alex Holowczak

New Admin?
Hey Awrigh01, I was thinking that Coreyisarealboy probably deserves to be an admin. He's put in a lot of hard work on the site, and has generally been an upstanding member of the community. His MLB Power Ranking articles are excellent, as just one example. Xinoph 09:33, 7 July 2006 (EST)

Admin
As surprised as I am that Xinoph would nominate me, I'd be thrilled to be an admin. --Corey Kempf 10:57, 7 July 2006 (EST)

Introduction Page
Could ArmchairGM have an introduction page to a new user? I.e. something to explain who the most frequent users are, where their areas of speciality are, etc. (This can double up as a welcome message to a new user, to save you visiting every new user's talk page). Do you think it is a good idea? (I'll make a draft shortly, and show you what I mean).
 * Yeah, but could it have something like this on it?

Commenting
Users Bobo and Jemma have been unable to comment. I know they would like to, but do you know why they cannot? I know Jemma used to be able to, but hasn't for a couple of days. I know latterly that the computer is one of the latest models, so should have no problem being able to comment. Can you suggest a way that they can either get around this, or is it a technical fault somewhere along the line, or what? Thanks. Alex Holowczak
 * I don't know, but I will find out and get back to you (it may be a day or two). What effect would using different browsers have?


 * I am told that when Jemma tries to comment, nothing happens. It just appears to crash, but you can still do other things, as if the "Post Comment" button isn't working.


 * Bobo uses Internet Explorer, and when he tries to comment, there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, saying "error on page." Alex Holowczak


 * Bobo says it only says the error page, the yellow triangle, saying error on page. Jemma uses Internet Explorer, but nothing happens when he presses "Post Comment". Alex Holowczak
 * Jemma has just learned he cannot vote for an article either. Alex Holowczak

Thanks!
Awesome, thanks! You won't have to worry about me abusing my powers. I'd rather not step on any feet. I did have one question, although it's not really related to the admin thing, in "Today's Stuff", how does one add birthdays? --Coreyisarealboy 13:57, 10 July 2006 (EST)

Standings Table
I can't get it to work right at User:DNL/MLBPortal. Any ideas? --DNL 07:03, 12 July 2006 (EST)

Tufts template
Who changed the Tufts template? I think those are the wrong words - I think it's "rush along" not "rush around" - whatever - I do love the Tufts fight song... --User: Alissa

Thank you
Hey, thanks for tweaking my Bball3345 Articles template. It looks nice.-Bball3345 12:23, 2 August 2006 (EST)

wow!
"I love the 162 game schedule. It gives me something to look forward to most day during the summer. Nothing in my mind is better than listening to a ball game on a nice day, enjoying the sun, and hanging out. Football sunday may be an intense collage of athletic might, but baseball echos the rhythm of life. Sometimes slow and sometimes dramatic." i think you just restored my love of baseball in me. i wrote in that article that you painted a beautiful picture with those words! haha Ufgators

youtube
would putting up a youtube video (we will rock you by queen) on my user page violate any terms? since it is usually heard at sporting events, i thought it was pretty fitting...here is the link. Ufgators

Admin
Thanks! I appreciate you and the other admins vote of confidence. Glad to be on board. --I am a cpcp 12:13, 15 August 2006 (EST)
 * Question: Is this something that should be deleted? moved? left alone? I wasn't sure if something should be done with it.

Player Pages
If you create player pages, remember to put the News and Opinion feeds on their page! --Roblefko 15:45, 28 August 2006 (EST)

In Defense of MLB’s “This One Counts” All Star Gimmick
Check out my follow up to you --Joshkross 05:22, 1 September 2006 (EST)

Redesign
Interesting. I'm guessing a lot of the kinks are because its a different database? I'm excited to see it live. Is there a date set yet? I am a cpcp
 * First, I didn't see a place for "New Stuff." Which I think is more important than good stuff. Second, I couldn't create a page (logged in or not). Third, the links on the top bar (for different sports) kept changing. Fourth, I didn't see a link on the side for "My Page." I think that's it. I am a cpcp
 * I like the idea of the tabs, the page does get long with new and good stuff on top of each other. I am a cpcp

Redesign pt.2
Very sharp. My only question concerns quick links (ie:MLB, NFL, College Hoops, NHL, etc) It seems there are only two or three where the current design has quick links to every sport readily available right on the home page. Otherwise it appears easy enough to navigate and looks really good. When might we see the debut? Shark
 * Yeah - the top green links bar has only two sports (it will probably have more when we go live?) Also - Where will "new stuff" be posted?  Right now, it's the bottom half of the page - 8 votes and it moves up.  Will "new stuff" display straight to the new page the way it does the current one?  If readers have to search for "New stuff" a lot of pontentially great pieces may go unnoticed.  Also, I will miss the "Recent Changes" link if it's left out.  Ever since I became an Admin, that has been my best friend at AGM.
 * I like to click the recent changes every half hour or so and scroll through them. It is nice to expand the list to 500 - but not really necessary, I suppose.  As long as there is a page where recent changes can be viewed, I would be happy.  What about the question in my last message about "New Stuff"?  Will it go straight to the new Main Page for all to see, read, and vote on?
 * Actually, I do believe that "New Stuff" should go straight to the Main Page. Considering we are a web site that offers amatuer writers to post their stuff, first and foremost, shouldn't their efforts be displayed on the Main Page?  If not,I fear some users will stop searching and reading "New Stuff" as much as they do now, resulting in a slight decline in votes which may keep good stuff from ever becoming "Good Stuff" - especially articles on the fringes.  I dunno - just my opinion but what do you guys think?

Thanks
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I was thinking just recently that I might not stay for much longer but then again my opinions on stuff change all the time. And at least this site is gradually diverting my attention away from Wikipedia! And feel free to edit and/or discuss the articles that I created. Once again, thanks.
