    Default Update: Missing Posts/Exclude Forum (New Posts)

    Just some of the work that's been going on in the background:

    1. Moved a few things around in the forum, basically expanding the Lounge section to four areas: Lounge, Videos, Fantasy Novels, and MMA. I've also made the Lounge more to the forefront, with its own special link along the nav menu, and eye-catching icon (foamy beer mug). You may have noticed that I'm trying to put in content daily into the videos, novels and MMA areas to get the ball rolling there. It'll take some time, it's just a matter of trying to train your brain to remember those areas when you see something online worth discussing. It's taken a week or so, but I'm starting to remember and make a point of sharing.

    2. Added a new "spoilers" tag. Basically if you have spoiler and /spoiler in between tags [ ] then the text that is in between them will be hidden unless someone clicks the button. Like this:
     
    You are a strong, confident person capable of winning any fantasy league you enter. Also, you're playing against losers!


    3. Missing posts. As you know, posts from November 13 to February 13 were not available when the forum was fixed. These have to be entered one at a time (copy and paste), but it's worth doing because of the search engine benefits, post counts, and just plain having that information around if you need to look back. But mostly search engine benefits. On my own, chipping away at it here and there, it's looking like June before it's done. Atomic Wedgy has volunteered to help and maybe one or two of you would also help (? *crickets* ?). So far, all the posts are in for:
    a) Baseball, Football, Admin/Mods, Site Stuff, Writers Corner sections
    b) Prospects sections, except for Rossy's Q&A that he had last month - and that's an important one and I'm trying to get it back but it's apparently missing.
    c) The Lounge is done up to early January (so about 5 weeks left to put in)
    d) Keeper League D-men is done up to December 1

    So you're going to see things like a "Jimmy reaches 5K posts" thread and Jimmy has 4800 posts. So that will be weird, but as we fill in the missing posts this will catch up.

    4. I added a special section for our friends over at The Hockey Writers. Let's welcome them warmly and if you see something worth discussing - then please discuss. This is in the "Writers Corner" section

    5. Site statistics are fixed. Geez, this hasn't been working in months. But now if you go to the bottom and see "most users online was...", well that date is correct (at least since the re-launch in February)

    6. I've been trying to input all my THN and Puck Daddy articles in the Blogs section. You can feel free to create your own blog - try and get some loyal followers and maybe parlay that into a gig on the DobberHockey/Baseball/Football site


    Hope you're enjoying the new forum so far!

    Thanks Dobber! I love it begin back.

    I have a question though. I excluded the forums I don't want to see for "new posts" but now I can't access those if just want to browse them. For example, before the change, I could still see the whole forum. But now, on the main page, I can only access the forum I included. I thought this feature would work only for new posts. Thanks for any help!

    Okay, it's working as it should. Apparenty, if you exclude a forum - you exclude the forum. From new posts, from regular view, period. So I would just make sure you only shut off what you don't want to see ever

    No, no options - but to be honest, wading through the list of options for vBulletin for is like wading through quicksand. These mods are just thrown wildly into their forum and everyone comments on how good/bad they are, some ask for support, etc. So the mod I need may be on page 112 of that section of the forum and it may be called "Jimmy's leave-out areas mod" and because I searched for "exclude" and "new post" I would have completely missed it.

    The person who made the modification for VBulletin3 quit making mods. And the person who made the mod for VBulletin4 made this one - it's the closest copy. I looked around for something else, but ...like I said, it's like a needle in a haystack

    True, unfortunately!
    They are still accessible from the mobile site, just so you know.

    Yes, the blogs and articles links in the mobile site will be removed, and 'User Settings' will be added. Has to be custom coded (at a small cost, of course, but well worth it)
