Nope, commence the onslaught
Not that I care, but just in case it's an issue with the update, I figured I'd point out that my post count has dropped by about 2000 taking me out of the exclusive 20,000 post club. I'm not sure, but I think that might be a good thing.

I take back what I said about the chat. That thing is going to be awesome.
Yeah, I dropped by for a few minutes. It was pretty cool. Everyone was behaving.

Try again.
Works like a charm.

I don't get all the complaints about the overhaul. Everything seems pretty easy to use and I really like the new look. C'mon folks, it's not like we're trying to launch the Space Shuttle here. It's a forum. Think, type, submit. How hard is that?
EDIT:
OK, maybe I spoke too soon. I'm trying to edit my profile and it's telling me that I'm required to list my Instagram account. Hopefully, it's just a setting I haven't figured out. If not, well, that would suck.Never mind. It's fixed.

Sure they are but some people enjoy them.

That's odd, my + rep number went down? Did the upgrade eliminate the older "likes"?
Mine went up.

CIRCULAR AVATAR = ROUNDEL SHEEP
Just kidding. I think everything looks good so far. I'd like to see sigs back, but again, y'all said it's still a work in progress.
Same here. I'd just started working on my 2016 Winter line of sig pics last night.

I'm really liking the new look. I'm waiting until Chris says the upgrade is complete before I chime in on sigs, avatars, and quotes.

How do you delete a post ?
I'm pretty sure you can't. I think the closest you can get to deleting a post is to edit it to say "never mind" or "."
Yup. Mods are the only ones who can delete posts.

how to post mac screenshots?
If you're using Grab, the easiest way is to save the file as a jpeg and then upload it to a photo hosting site.

GM Bob Myers ring compared to 49ers 1st SB ring.
Cool design, but it's entirely too big. I'd want a ring I can actually, you know, wear.
-
Add some color to that Blackhawks ring and it's perfect. Still a pretty good looking ring. The complete lack of gaudiness is nice. I like the clean, simple approach.

Owning Packers stock had a strange effect on me - I grew an extra set of eyes in the back of my head and I can now read the thoughts of calico cats
Really? Huh, I guess I should look into some Packers stock next time it comes available; is it only calico cats this works with or would I be able to sneak into the head of, say, a Siamese?
My best guess is it happened in high school shortly after I sacrificed a blue ribbon winning goat I found at the county fair to Blitzen, the most evil of Santa's reindeerForget Blitzen, it's Comet you gotta watch out for. That one's real sneaky!
I ended up leaving my buddy alongside the road in New Castle PA. He was drunk and annoying me. He still hasn't been foundThat's the kind of thing you're probably best off not talking about.
See, at least someone reads all this
1. So far, it's just calicos. But it's too early to know the long term effects of these things.
2. Yeah, Comet is sneaky but Blitzen is one stone cold, evil reindeer. Blitzen doesn't even attempt to hide his true nature.
3. Thanks. It's nice to know someone does.

How come my tread got merged with this one???? I'm so confused???!
Because, believe it or not, you weren't the first person to come up with the idea. You're about the 437th.

Could have sworn I'd already dome this but I went through this thread and the previous version of this thread and I'm not in either one. (I didn't feel like looking through the 22 other versions of this thread) No one reads these. So here goes...
Ohio State: I'm an Ohio State alum. I'm from Ohio. Became a Buckeyes football fan when I was a kid.
Toledo: I'm a Toledo alum. Toledo is also my hometown but I didn't become a Rockets fan until I went to school at UT.
The Original Cleveland Browns: Local team. Lived and died with them until 1995.
Side note: On the New/current Browns: Gave them numerous chances but it never took. It was like dating a clone of your girlfriend - looked the same but wasn't the real thing. But that didn't stop me from trying to set up a three way with my GF and her clone. I walked away from the new Browns for good last spring. The new uniforms removed the one and only thing that ever reminded me of "my Browns."
Green Bay Packers: Loved their uniforms since I was a kid. My Grandfather watched the Pack every Sunday back in the 60's. I always liked them. They were "my NFC team." Bought Packers stock in 2011(?). Owning Packers stock had a strange effect on me - I grew an extra set of eyes in the back of my head and I can now read the thoughts of calico cats. Suddenly, I was fully invested in the team. Now I'm a full fledged die hard Packers fan. And I own the team.
Columbus Blue Jackets: I've been going to hockey games since I was in my early 20's but I became a serious NHL fan in 1992. Thanks to a job I had in TV while living in Syracuse, NY, I had to run commercials during Rangers, Islanders, and Devils games. The uniform geek in me won out and I became a Rangers fan. Moved back to Ohio in 1998. Started going to Blue Jackets games in their inaugural season. (I went to my first Jackets game to see the Rangers - also went to Pittsburgh that season to see the Rangers. I ended up leaving my buddy alongside the road in New Castle PA. He was drunk and annoying me. He still hasn't been found) Long story short, the more Jackets games I went to, the more I liked the team. By 2012, I realized I liked the Jackets more than I liked the Rangers and here we are.
As my friend on BASS like to say, I have 28 favorite baseball teams. That's sort of true. It's more like 13 favorite teams. But I actually do have a few teams that I like more than the others.
Pittsburgh Pirates: Much like my friend the Admiral and his Oakland Raiders, I became a Pirates fan as a goof and it led to me becoming an actual fan. God's honest truth, I started watching the Pirates in 2009 on MLB Extra Innings because I felt sorry for them. During Opening Week in 2009 I was flipping through games and landed on a Pirates broadcast. Every commercial break between innings had one paid commercial. The rest of the break was filled with PBS pledge drive type commercials in which a couple of Pirates office employees would offer tote bags, t-shirts, umbrellas, etc. to anyone who would call in and buy tickets to an upcoming Pirates game. It all seemed so sad and a little pathetic. I literally felt sorry for the team so I decided I was going to watch their games. That way, I knew at least one person was watching their telecasts. Needless to say, it's paid off pretty well for me. The Pirates are my clear cut favorite NL baseball team.
Cleveland Indians: Been with the Tribe since I was a kid. Despite numerous efforts to move on, I can't quit the Indians. My Indians "fandom" certainly ebbs and flows, but it never goes away. Maybe the Tribe needs to move and be replaced by a team that looks just like them.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: I used to work nights so the only games I got to watch on MLB Extra Innings were the west coast games. The Angels ended up being the team I gravitated to.
Los Angeles Dodgers: See above.

Use an image hosting site to post pictures, basically.
imgur is the best. Photobucket is the worst.
Well, I guess imageshack is the worst but I don't even know if it's still around. Tinypic also sucks.
Just use imgur.
Photobucket works fine for me.

I've earned a degree from Michigan,The University of Michigan is the only Division One College to have won a National Championship in all four of the Major sports.
That explains everything.

The Cleveland Browns were the first team to have a play reviewed under the NFL replay rule (against the Bears in 1986) and the first NFL team to score a two point conversion.

Can't you use tags with the link in them? Also found by choosing media from the "special bb code" drop down?
I tried that but I couldn't get it to work.

If you move your mouse over a member name on the left side of the page, the names in all the quotes magically appear.
While I'm here...When I put a YouTube link in a post in the BASS thread, it no longer shows the YouTube clip in the post. It just posts a link to the video. This started about two weeks ago. Before then, the clips posted just fine. My guess is I accidentally changed a setting but I can't seem to figure out which setting I changed. Anyone know the answer?
This started happening to me too a lot longer ago, maybe like 4-5 months. I would usually just link an audio video in the what are you listening to thread, but it just puts links and it bugged me so I wouldn't post it.
I just stumbled on to the answer for this. When posting a YouTube clip, don't copy and use the link in the "share" window with the YouTube clip - this one...
Instead, just copy the url in the address window of your browser.

is there a way to delete your post.
You can edit the content and just leave it blank or something but you need a mod to completely delete a post from the boards.

Does a Daytona 500 ring count
I would consider it an Achievement Ring, not a championship ring.
Its pretty cool and quite the accomplishment, but not a championship. I'd assume NASCAR drivers would rather win the Sprint Cup.
Believe it or not, a lot of drivers are torn on which one they'd rather win. During a pre-race show or something (can't remember which network, race, etc.) a couple years ago, a bunch of drivers were asked "if you could only win one - the Sprint Cup or the Daytona 500" which one would you choose?" You'd be surprised by how many chose the Daytona 500.

The only Cowboys SB ring I don't like is this one...
All the others are great.
