Into the media realm for the next few days. I'll be volunteering for NCAA Round 1&2 games at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.  I'm in media credentials, so media members will be coming through the group I'm in to get passes, information and the like.

I'll be pretty scarce until the week is out starting at about 4 PM Central tomorrow.

I also have gotten such messages on mobile, mostly on my phone. My tablet hasn't really had such problems while accessing the boards, not for a while at least.

 

The moderators need to seriously tackle this issue real soon.

I'm guessing if the moderators aren't 'seriously tackling this issue', it's likely because it isn't widespread.  Maybe you need to see if you've gotten your phone infected.

My take on Joe Buck calling baseball wasn't serious. I think Buck does a great job on baseball games.

 

I worked in sports radio for a while too. What did you do at your station? 

It's a stretch to say I was really IN sports radio, but I've been on-site producer / spotter / statistician (and off air color guy - feeding my observations to the PxP guy) for high school football on one of the sports stations in Milwaukee.  My on air broadcast partner is a real pro, and does PA for non-revenue sports at one of the Universities in Milwaukee (MU) as well as PA for the Lakeshore Chinooks.

Just take the NFL stuff and add the following - Joe Buck hates your team and he loves the team your team is playing. He's an unabashed Cardinals homer, except that Cardinals fans are convinced that Buck hates the Cardinals too. That's all you really need to know to get an idea of how he calls MLB. 

Your take on Joe for MLB is the same as the take on Joe for NFL (at least as I've heard it).

Having worked in small time sports on radio, I take pride in preparation, and I'm not even on air.  I don't take issue with Joe/Troy from a preparation standpoint, and that same thing can't be said about the majority of broadcast teams.

We've had ads here for a while. There's no need for this specific style of ad. No need for it to be so large.

So you're willing to cover whatever revenue would be lost by shrinking those ads?  I'm sure Chris and Yzerfan would be happy to chat with you about that.

I've found that if I long into this site in a new browser -- not even a new device -- it logs me out of all the other browsers I'm in on. That's weird.

Aha - that's why it does it!

Honestly, I really don't care what it means. I appreciate the advice, but I think you're assuming I'm taking the whole thing a lot more seriously than I am.  I was just trying to answer someone's question. We've already wasted way more time on it that necessary. 

Me neither. Just having fun!

Yeah, I get the Wizard of Oz reference. What I meant was I have no idea why Mockba chose that as his member title. Probably should have worded it better than I did. 

I always assumed it was a tongue in cheek 'hey, it's a message board - lighten up'.  I consider it good advice whenever I'm on a message board.

My best guess. 

•  
• The Man Behind the Curtain: Mockba's member title. No idea what it means. 

'Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain' - Wizard of Oz

So I had only recently (in the last 6 weeks or so) started slogging through the Relocation Roundelay thread.  Now that the upgrade happened, I've lost where I was in getting caught up, because it wants to send me to 'most recent post'.

Sucks to be me.

Yeah - what's the issue with Photobucket? I often see/hear it scoffed at here, but haven't had an issue with it.

• PBs UI is just garbage.
• PB is comparable to MySpace, and this is in no way a compliment. They constantly try to change but the site simply refuses to admit defeat, getting worse and worse with each revision.
• PB is annoying as hell about embedding images, often redirecting you to the photobucket page of that image rather than simply the .jpg or .png image itself.

I mean it's not the worst thing in the world, but I personally despise it.

Thanks for the responses. I haven't had any of those issues, so they're news to me.

People only know how many stars you have by looking at your profile.

On the other hand, everyone who reads a particular post knows what you post when you post it.

Which one matters more? [rhetorical]

Or "Ooooooooooh, Barracuda". (presented by SeaGate)

I'm seeing some pretty risqué ads on here for the first time ever. Some busty chick in a short skirt showed up on the right side of my screen and all it said was "Get Me Naked"

Not a huge deal, but that could be teetering close to NSFW

You could also just hide those ads.

Can we change the title of this thread to: "Have a question? Read the FAQ, then ask it here."?

And maybe bump the FAQ thread to the top of the pinned items. Maybe make it a mandatory read prior to sign up. Embed in it a code you have to enter in order to be able to sign up.

How do i upload an image from inkscape

You can't. Images have to be hosted online somewhere.

Is anyone else constantly being taken to the app store when viewing on iPad? I assume it's part of the advertising deal, but it's happening more frequently and making it difficult to use the site on the tablet. Unless it's just something wrong with my device.

I've had it happen on a PC as well, re-directing me to some shopping site. It's making me leery of visiting here.

The Graveyard is dead. Long live the Graveyard.

The Graveyard should have been a good learning tool. See what ends up there, and learn what NOT to do.

Any thought to just locking threads such that people can see what went wrong/what not to do?

So uh... is she single?

As far as I know :-) She's SUPER nice - gonna go places.

The UWM monogram.

no help with the font, but, I KNOW HER!

Any ideas on this one? What the font gaveme a "penned" font:

I can provide additional letters if needed.

Helvetica Bold.

Thanks. Seems odd that it isn't installed on my laptop. Microsoft Sans Seriff was close, but not quite.
