Great picture Ricky! Worth the wait!


Paint is a default program on all computers, isn't it?

Easy to upload and resize if you have it.

I don't know. I went to spyglass on my mac and didn't see it. Been messing with it for a bit.

Thanks Todd

You see Toby this is where we have disconnect. It took me years to do the picture - if you don't believe me ask Todd. mispaint????


I assumed you followed the link I gave you to save a screen shot as a picture which has you use mspaint. I'm assuming you're using Windows?




Toby Stumbo -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (11/22/2015 2:51:36 PM)

Ahh, a Mac. Got it. Try this http://www.picresize.com/




Ricky J -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (11/22/2015 7:24:18 PM)

Yeah right!




twinsfan -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/6/2016 6:51:42 PM)

How about a Women's hockey thread in the Gophers section? Seems like every time women's Gophers hockey is mentioned in the Gophers Hockey thread, it gets buried by men's hockey posts. Thanks.




Daniel Lee Young -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/6/2016 9:00:22 PM)

you can create a thread yourself




Lynn G. -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 10:06:12 AM)

That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask ...

Is it just my computer or is it an issue with the site, but for every category except for Twins and Gophers I can click on the little yellow square and it will take me to the last post that I had read. For those two categories (and that means every thread within them) I get an error message if I click on that yellow square and instead have to go to the last thing that was posted and work my way back to where I left off.

Ideas?




Todd M -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 10:28:14 AM)

Um, time for an upgrade?

But we don't need any dissent. Best to hit that x and close out...

I don't think that's worked for a long time.

So unfortunately I just click on the newest page and then backpage a time or 2 if there are more than a page worth of new posts.

The yellow box used to be really slick.

I'm waiting for you to offer to start up an entirely new site, upgraded with all of the fancy blingy features, and then take care of all of the costs as well as the issues that will come along with switching everything over from this site to the new one.

You're kind of like the guy who parks himself in his parents' basement and then keeps complaining that they still have an outdated kitchen.

Thanks for the input. Yes, for me it's been this way for a really long time too, but I just never asked until now if it was just me. No big deal. I've gotten used to the backtracking thing.

FTS.

It took less than a day of asking for donations to get well more than enough to start this one up in the 1st place.

Switching what over? Just like we did from the Strib on to the initial site we migrated to for 5 minutes before we ended up here. You ask people to come over and run from there.

You bring up an issue like a mealy mouth mouse...excuse me mr sir, I was just wondering about a feature that's been broken forever...but no big deal...

There's no reason we have to settle. Things don't work, the site bugs out often, I have missing private messages. Spare me the thought that it is some monumental undertaking to upgrade.

And why insult me because I want something better? That's pure BS right there. And what a joke insinuating that I should do it all myself or STFU about it.

People act like such drooling sycophants sometimes. 'Everything is great, the admins are doing a great job' - it's not and no they're not...so afraid to step up to the plate and ask for something better. Perhaps I should be able to see why people don't. When you do you get insulted, ignored, ostracized...Say something and you get 'oh well' or 'hit the x button' what a joke.




Todd M -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 4:18:19 PM)

And if I'm wrong and this is some hugely expensive undertaking that would break the backs of the common man to implement then I deserved to be steered correctly initially. But every time I've merely mention that things aren't working well, or 'what about this' it's a)ignore b) [&o] or c) hit the x button. Rude as hell. That's why I'm at a point where I don't pull any punches.




Lynn G. -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 4:19:52 PM)

Again - if it's so easy, why the freak haven't you done it yourself?

What a surprise, you completely misread my question. I was simply asking it if happened to anyone else, or was it just an issue with my computer? I got my answer, thanked David for it, and that was the end of it.

Your apology will be proactively accepted.




Todd M -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 4:23:41 PM)

Is that how life is for you? Don't complain about a haircut cause 'why not do it yourself'?

It's not my field. For the people that undertook it in the first place - it is/was.

What a surprise that you don't recall discussions about the issue before. Ones that you even took part of.




Lynn G. -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 4:40:49 PM)

No - that's not a surprise at all. You'll notice that I've forgotten a ton of stuff (some of which have benefitted you personally) from ages ago. I DO remember a "conversation" we had just a couple of days ago.

You just can't seem to help yourself.

If I get one bad haircut I don't necessarily assume anything about the haircutter.

If I get bad haircuts regularly - I take my business elsewhere. Why complain endlessly when there is an easier solution?




Todd M -> RE: Forum Ideas/Suggestions (2/7/2016 5:04:56 PM)

So just quit and forget any of the relationships I've built over the last decade? Seems like the right thing to do rather than expect a little more out of this little site for a very small number of users.

Nothing I've said here detracts from what I said then. Your condescension doesn't help us get a long any better though.

Works for me almost all the time.  On the rare chance that it doesn't it's usually because I didn't log out the last time I was on.

I didn't say to quit. I said that if you wanted a better site created - do it yourself. Then you could do what you are asking the others to do - invite everyone over to join you at the new one.

Or have you suddenly realized just what you're asking someone else to do? Daunting, isn't it?
