mainly Firefox, no cookie restrictions, no script restrictions. It is the same on two different computers. I can run through the different browsers to see what it is if needed.

Admin072 · Jul 22 2009, 08:20 PM

gnduke, sent you a PM with suggestions.

We're also still troubleshooting the time zone issues.

Remove the banner of the US Amateur Disc Golf Championship that's next to the PDGA logo on home page. It's over a month old!

I had a couple of recommendations for the "stats/player profile page" on the pdga website.

I think it would be cool to list what "tier" a tournament is on players' stat page. Maybe next to the "points column" ?

I also think the "city, state" of the tournament could be listed. I realize it's often in the name of the tourney itself, but not usually. It would give a good idea of where players play when looking at a players' stat page.

A "photo" option may be cool as well, for those who want their mugs to be seen.

Just my $.02. I'm a stats junkie, it give us something to keep up with. Where would baseball be without all of those useless stats?

Thanks

yeah, restricting posting here to PDGA dues-paying members has made this site a huge success and has brought boatloads of new members into the fold.

I have a couple issues with the new website. Both of them have to do with mobile web browsing. The new website does not work very well with mobile web browsers. I like to use a mobile web browser to access PDGA for two reasons. One, it would be great to be able to access the new and improved course directory from the field and find courses. My phone has a gps and it would be tremendous to find a course and get there via Google maps or some other software. It is very difficult to use most aspects of the website, including the directory, on a mobile browser. Second, I have the good fortune to play in a lot of Bruce Brakel's tournaments. His brother Jon has results posted so fast that the first round is often on-line before the second round starts. I like to go to the schedule to look up the results and unofficial ratings. The drop down menus on the schedule do not work very well with mobile browsers.

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 standard device. I have Expolorer. However, I also have Skyfire and Opera Mini. These allow me a painful, slow and often unproductive access. That is better than what I can get with Explorer.

In a perfect world there would be a mobile website that had features that really work. Thanks.

I'm all for making money...I think every one should...capitalism works. And I want to see the PDGA bring in income wherever they can.

I just hope these banner adds are worth it...my annoyance meter starts to trickle up some times.

The only banner ad that gets me is the one with the woman holding a golf club and bouncing up and down with it in front of her.

there was actually a time when a member's PDGA rating showed up on the left side of all their posts just like their username and avatar. Then the powers that be cried FOUL and that short-lived innovation was hidden by the powers that be behind several curtains so that it could only be uncovered by a multitude of mouse clicks and an expenditure of an interested party's valuable time.

vbulletin has a PDA display mode; not perfect but it works well on phones for reading the forums:

I can't say for certain that it won't be removed (unsure of previous reasoning), but I've added a link in posts just below the avatar and just above 'Join Date:' which now opens a new window/tab for Player Stats.

Now we just need to get Ciphent to correct the time offset error.

I fully applaud the change. It goes beyond being able to look at a person's stats or player rating - sometimes I just want to know who the person is and where they live. Previously, when someone's username was, for example, "discpro99" and they don't fill in a location in their profile, then you have no clue who it is and have to do multiple clicks and copying and pasting. Now with one click, I will know who said message board user is.

And also on the positive side, we can get Bruce Brakel to change his signature file.
