Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Given the move to the new site, I wanted to make a separate thread for anyone who has questions on the new software / tool or is running into any issues. Additionally, for those people who had changed usernames from their original and thus reverted back to the original username (upgrade required this), if you want your name changed, let us know and we can correct. If anyone is having issues and can't send messages or other items, please email me at [email protected]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So frankly this is very embarrassing (trust me I spent time on it) but how the fuck do you embed a tweet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Just copy and paste the tweet from the twitter page (like copy the link to the actual tweet) and than just hit paste in the post section. Once you hit paste, wait about a second or two and the link will automatically turn into an embedded tweet. Once that happens, just hit post/reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to change your log in information as the new board doesn't separate display name and log in name anymore, but there you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I am over my attachments limits having used quite a few pictures in countdown threads over the years. I went to manage my attachments looking for a way to reduce my percentage so i am under the limit but I couldn't find a way to do that. Is there a way ?

chitownsportsfan Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I'd encourage everybody to use the post ratings more. They are limited but they do help foster community. Again, I'd change them to "Thanks, Agree, Disagree, and LOL". edit: Thanks for the "confused" icon, which is a really useless icon imo because it tells you nothing about the OP or WHY the person reading is confused. If you really want to have a negative rating like that just use "dumb" so everybody is clear. The ratings should basically just be used as shortcuts to typing out a post. I spend way too much time at work on various forums. This one is way towards the bottom (even with the upgrade) as far as user interaction and redundant posts (that exist because there is no "disagree or agree" button). There are ALOT of cases where a simple "agree" or "disagree" button would save a lot of wasted scrolling. The "like" is 80% of the time just an "agree". If you want to keep "like" than just realize people are going to use it as "agree". I do it rather than reply with "+1" or "I agree". It's a shortcut. Again, my opinion only, but there really needs to be an "agree" rating. That's the one I think would help the board the most, especially on mobile.

I haven't messed with the icons, but i know in the past with the smilies, we always avoided the overly negative ones, more as an effort to keep things a bit more community and a little less bitter. I know that other things are said and done, but it is a small thing to try to avoid contributing to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 One thing I liked about the old board is that at the bottom of every page there was a dropdown where you could switch to any individual forum. Made things very easy to navigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
