Okay, questions about the forums, part two

[whippoorwill]

can I ask a question?

 

Is there a new members list so we can see who is joining us?

Here's the link for all members. We won't see many people joining for quite a while, probably months. SEO is a slow grind. For the first 12 months, my primary mission is to keep the lights on and just survive. Year two is the first growth year.

It's one of the reasons why the job is difficult. It takes a little money, quite a bit of effort, and a whole lot of time and patience.

You can't comment? Let me dig into the permissions.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I just checked, and the permissions look good. Where are you having a hard time commenting?

[metirish]

Oh, that's from the front page, yes. Those articles are geared more for casual readers.

All front page articles are duplicated in the news forum if you'd like to read the articles there. There, it works just like a normal forum thread.

Ah , thank you, that's better

Still trying to figure out how to post a you tube video. I tried inserting the URL in the tool box you provide and got the result you see in one of the season opening roster threads (I forget which one).

What did I do wrong?

Try it again here. Don't make us look through a whole bunch of other threads.

The URL structure should look pretty much exactly like what Ben posted above. Don't use the embed code, just grab the URL to that video.

[MFS62]

The url is like five lines long. What part of it should I use?

I have no idea what you're talking about. The URL is only 43 characters. See my post above where I say "Just paste it like this." 

[metirish]

This could not be easier,in YouTube I go to the video,click share ,copy link and then just paste it here , nothing else

That has happened to me a few times, but never long enough for me to determine a reason.

I would recommend just being persistent — try, err, and learn!

Are microscopic links and other info in soft grey on
white background going to be made more readable soon?

[MFS62]

And where will the minor league coverage be?

Right now it's all in the GCM News forum.

So far I'd say this is a major upgrade from the old site.  I feel like we're riding in a shiny new auto

If you've got something to say about the minor league teams or players then just say it, and if there's not an existing thread then start one. We usually just put it in the baseball forum. .
