Several images, such as the "Sports Mogul" symbol on the upper left hand corner of the page, do not upload when the pages are refreshed.

Also: how do "tags" work? Like blog tags?

EDIT: Never mind. Thanks, SirKodiak!

EDIT II: Images now seem to be loading.

I don't know what the upgrades are. The thing just says "Upgrade the board!" and I do it. You put a big red button in front of me, and I'm going to mash it. That's just the way I roll.

But, the documentation by the people who wrote the program is here:

Looks like there are tags, keyword clouds, social groups... I have no idea what they do. I just hit buttons.

The new "Tags" feature is quite nice. I'm gonna start tagging lots of threads just to make full use of this feature.

[HoustonGM]

I like the tags system.

I don't like the public-created groups...or the friend request system. What is this, Myspace?

[ohms_law]

yay, tags!
:D

[HoustonGM]

actually the tags arent so bad

its still too much like live journal with the tags though *sigh*
More like, much like blogs in general.

Tags at least have uses.

Friend requests on a message board though?

[CatKnight]

Kinda. I don't much mind the tags...but friends and social groups?

An amusing post, Dee...you should write more :)

[ohms_law]

you should write more :)

That would be nice.

humm... I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but recently (tonight) I've been getting just text in place of quite a bit of the icons. For example, the thread rating stars, or the thread icons showing that you've posted in the thread, or even some of the icons in the Quick Reply box are not showing up and the mouse over text shows up in it's place. Reloading the page helps, but it's annoying.

[HoustonGM]

I haven't noticed anything

[ohms_law]

humm... it's probably just me then. Comcast has been cruddy in general the last few days, for some reason. I think that I'm going to call and complain. Not that it'll do any good.

[Reade]

nope, I'm getting stuff like that too

[boomboom]

I am noticing it but thought it was just my slow internet, eventually it turns to the icon. :)

BTW: The Icon for IP has a red x in it.

yea, that's been broken for a week or so, now.

[HoustonGM]

Since the last update for me.

[ohms_law]

Has it been that long?

[HoustonGM]

Has it been that long?
Yep. Whenever the last board maintenance happened is when the IP icon stopped showing.

Dee, thank you for the upgrades. I usually do what you do in the broadcast booth. While you just push buttons, I just read what I am supposed to read. I like the friend feature. Being on the road during the entire season, I have become a very lonely man sometimes, so it will be nice to befriend certain posters like HoustonGM or yankee_hater. I like their discussions and they seem to know what it takes to form a winning team, such as scoring more runs than their opponents.

[HoustonGM]

Lighten up.

[TheNamelessPoet]

lol

[HoustonGM]

What? I said lighten up, because you seem to be taking offense to the Joe Morgan account, when it's just a harmless gag.

[ohms_law]

Lighten up
