    The ads have gone completely crazy since the redesign launched. Personally, I find it pretty funny but once the site stabilizes a bit, I'll be addressing completely nonsensical ad insertions like the one above (amongst other ad oddities I've logged over the past few weeks).

    I disagree that the Twins will be a rebuilding team in August. They might be ready to give up on 2021 and retool at the deadline, moving expiring contracts, but in no way, shape, or form should they "rebuild". Also, I still give the Twins a 40% or so chance of competing for the division. This division simply isn't very good with a recently depleted White Sox team leading the way. The series starting tonight should be quite informative about this team's 2021 season.

    Blue will be introduced in time but some of the key features that I expect to use blue more prominently weren't part of the launch goal.

    Someone let me know about it ~30 minutes ago. I changed some group settings this morning, which sent the article permissions into panic mode for whatever reason. It should be fixed now.

    The orange is for announcements and we have several color options available to us. You see a lot of orange right now because I'm trying to draw attention to key components of the new site to ease the transition for some of the more confusing aspects for long-time users. Once launch dies down, expect to see orange banners rather infrequently. (you may have noticed one of them is already gone)

    Currently we have only the Current Affairs club but we're really open to expanding this feature of the new site. https://twinsdaily.com/clubs/ We've talked about everything from having just 1-2 clubs to moving the entire Minncentric (Sports Bar, Vikings, Wolves, etc) section to individual clubs. What do each of you think? How should we use clubs and do you have any recommendations for specific subjects you'd like to see?

    By the way, please let me know how speed is for you today. This is the first day of "regular" traffic on the site and for all of yesterday, the server was using a small amount of resources to run background tasks like reindexing the search engine. Speed should be good under normal circumstances but I'd like to hear of any difficulties you're having.

    Thankfully, our tools are much more robust now and while spam will never go away entirely (spammers even slip through the filters of Facebook on a regular basis), it has already decreased considerably and I'm implementing more filters and ways to thwart them as we determine the new software's leakiest bits.

    Excited to see the site gets its first regular load test during tonight's game...

    Because, after changing forum platforms four times over 15 years and getting the same questions every time, I finally learned my lesson and got out in front of those questions by writing guides how to use the ridiculous number of features included in the software package. If you actually read any of the tutorials, you'll notice they primarily talk about underlying site features and assume you know how to do things like... type a message.

    What about the Ft Myers Miracle?
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    No dummies allowed in the club, sorry. There's the door.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    What do you mean, "don't see"? Can't find in the menu or the page is blank?
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    The new system has a "follow" feature, which makes more sense when you examine it. It's like a Twitter follow and you can set notifications when people you follow post, you can filter to people you follow in the activity stream from the menu, etc. Lots of stuff you can do in the new system that makes following a much more sensical approach.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Read this, I cover all of that.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, you just alerted me that I'm not receiving notifications from our ticketing system correctly. For the time being, PM me a detailed description of your issue and I'll look at it while I troubleshoot the ticketing system.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    If this happens, screenshot it and send it to brock.beauchamp@twinsdaily.com. I know that aspect is still a little buggy but everyone experiences ads a little differently and I can only fix what I see.

    On a trial basis, please don't make us regret this decision. We now have semi-private club features on the site, which allow us more diversity in conversation away from the main forums. Rules still apply in these discussion and you *can* be warned (and banned) for stepping outside the rules, though we're going to experiment a bit with *slightly* loosening the rules in some of these clubs. Take a look if you're interested! And if you have suggestions for other clubs on the site, please let me know! This feature is all-new and, frankly, we don't really know what to do with it.

    Here's a dated meme for your wall, Parker.

      I’m old so I understand this reference. Thank you.

    I don't really have anything to say, I just wanted to post a thread.

    By the way, for those of you that haven't read the tutorials, two cool new things available. @Mike Sixel Hi, I tagged you! And hit the GIF button in the top of the text editor, you have an immediately searchable GIPHY library!

    A dark mode is on the table but it's going to be awhile. I need to check options available; if there's an option that doesn't involve me writing an entirely separate theme and maintaining it, that option will be available much sooner than if I have to maintain two sets of code.

    If you scroll down 800-ish pixels on any page, this red circle will appear on the bottom left of your screen: I added that to the site explicitly for that reason. It's a scroll to top button that takes you back to the top of the page without scrolling.
