  1. Well, imagine my surprise when I went to the main site just now, and could actually read the comments posted for some logos! I don't what changed (nothing did at my end), but thanks, I guess.
  2. I have tried everything I can think of, involving Disqus and this site, and I still cannot read the comments in the individual logos part of the main sportslogos.net site. There has been no response here. After close to ten years of contributing to this site on a nearly daily basis, I have had no choice lately but to give up trying. I may check in in a year or so to see if you have fixed this.
  3. On the "mothership" logos site, one of the more interesting/entertaining parts is the comments section for each logo, which for years has been "powered by Disqus." For several months, I have encountered an issue of those comments being hidden, replaced with "blog comments powered by Disqus." Up until today, I had found the workaround had been to come here to the Forums side, log out, and then to log in again. This brought the main site's comments section back. Today, I have tried that repeatedly, but I still only see blog comments powered by Disqus. This is a serious problem regarding return traffic. Without the comments, things can be pretty static on the main logos side... Coincidence or not, the "new logos and random logos" section in the lower left, which usually rotates to other logos every few minutes, seems stuck on the same selection. Yes, I have cleared my cache, with no improvement.
  4. It is a small improvement over the NASL version... https://scontent.fyxd2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t45.1600-4/cp0/q90/c0.11.720.376/s552x414/29964441_6101714021521_2705062079097733120_n.png.jpg?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJxZV9ncm91cHMiOlsibm9fc2FmZV9pbWFnZV9mb3JfYWRzX2ltYWdlIl19&_nc_eui2=AeHOOkNepUus2Df7l1asymGlBxWrKEmDXC69Yu_wGIWJFdLMT0CWoS8267PoRpaurTqORr7yDkRmlkntTagaijPRsCNxAOSUfJ9fTIeDsKOkqw&oh=59191aee0fc74b31a056edbb16b20eda&oe=5BA91ED3
  5. Thanks for your reply, and I totally sympathise with your situation. This was not meant to be any form of attack, just a suggestion for improvement. My suggestion still stands, as being a clear one-stop place for fans to contribute news and updates (both for you and for other users to see), and for you to review them whenever time allows. This would surely save you some time, or time for any volunteer moderators who might help you out in this (my next helpful suggestion).
  6. The problem with the ads covering the logos seems to be resolved. Thanks! Moving on to something else: I have seen others express frustration at trying to get new of updates to this site, and I have also been frustrated to see updates and corrections ignored here for years. I was just looking for the appropriate place to contribute the news today that the CFL Edmonton Eskimos have taken the step (for the first time) of asking their fans in a survey what their views on the nickname are, but I couldn't find any place other than this part of the forum. http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/football/cfl/edmonton-eskimos/edmonton-eskimos-pose-question-of-name-change-in-fan-survey/wcm/08d8b090-a938-447d-9768-28a6a023f12f So, here is my suggestion: an official thread within the forum where news, updates, corrections, etc. can be posted by site followers, which the administrators can review and act on when and as they see fit.
  7. One recent change here I do not like is the obtrusive ads that actually cover part of the logo one is trying to get a good look at. Despite closing those ads and repeatedly providing them feedback that they are covering content, this persists, and some ads can't even be closed. I understand that this is how the site can pay for itself and make some money, but the ads that cover the content are really going too far. I otherwise have enjoyed this site for a long time, and am a daily visitor. In some cases, corrections I have suggested have gone unnoticed for years, but it *is* a large site to administer.
  8. After years of commenting at the site of the error itself, this may be a better place to say it: The WHL former team Calgary Centennials logo is shown in blue, which it never was. It was, in fact, red and black- and the Canadian 1967 centennial logo included in it is not a "star tree," but a highly stylised maple leaf! While I'm reliving my youth, the logo shown for the original WHL Edmonton Oil Kings is wrong- the version posted there is for the short-lived second incarnation, when the Flin Flon Bombers were moved to Edmonton for 2 years before moving on to become the also short-lived Spokane Flyers. Second incarnation: Original version (the current team uses a modified version): They also often used another version in print, and sometimes on uniforms, for the original Oil Kings: thanks
  9. I wasn't thinking you were! I agree on the kerning...if anything, the official guide has the first 's' practically attached to then 'A'. Ligatures (e.g. attaching the A and the s) were purposely included in logos of that era (and to this day) to prevent people from messing with the spacing! Too bad they messed up the original, in the Astros' case.
  10. So, I've been trying for the last few days to help update you on the big news of the CFL Edmonton Eskimos Signature Series uniform being announced, but no response using the e-mail addresses. Here's another attempt, using this thread: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/football/edmonton-eskimos/Edmonton+Eskimos+signature+uniform/10167858/story.html I expected a lot worse, but those who dislike or are confused by the EE logo will be disappointed... Seems a slow reaction- in case Chris is busy. The official Eskimos announcement and description. http://www.esks.com/article/surprise
  11. There's no report button in the actual logo section of this site- the link I tried to provide the first time didn't stick: http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/lxtzfggb67ghtztam3mf/_Uruguay/1962/Primary_Logo , they were posted a year ago, but they are still there. While not as severe as some other (ultimately removed) comments have been, they are still annoying, and may offend some users.
  12. I'd just like to note that there are numerous offensive and inflammatory comment posted about a year ago in the logos section, for international soccer, by "Rubber Collins" and "Yemenese Babez". For example, see http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/lxtzfggb67ghtztam3mf/_Uruguay/1962/Primary_Logo%C2'> Is this where I should bring such things to the attention of the Administrators? If not, where can this be done? thanks
