Your link is bad...

Fixored. :)

It still won't change...

Fixored this...

Definately has a learning curve but I like it so far and it is much faster than before.

so any ideas on when embedding YouTube videos will be implemented??

I want to change my display name!

Alacrity,

Since HTML has been enabled, embedded YouTube videos work now. :cool:

What about the display names Jeff? Can you fix those?

Wow, please stop having tantums over this. There are more pressing issues than your display name and you know it will eventually be fixed.

How do they taste?

This is a test to see if my name was changed back to Pizza God

nope, still my long in name. It says Pizza_God, I changed it to Pizza God and my display name still says bryanjames5380

Jebb,

Clearly you fail to realize that nothing is more pressing than this issue. In fact, judging by the number of times he's posted about this (including those messages with

ridiculously large font)

it must surely be a life-or-death situation with him. :rolleyes:

Hey Jeff lagrASSa,

Been awhile since I've seen you in person...On the message board you're a total lagrASSa. It is the only pressing issue with the conversion for me.

Certainly no need to act like a child over it.

I, too, would like to see this fixed. Especially since the moderator has posted numerous times that it works. Either the mod was posting without checking to see if what he was posting was true, or else there is some kind of a config problem where ti works for some people and not for others.

The mods should refrain from acting like babies while doing the volunteer work they volunteered to do. I know that's wishful thinking around here, but it needed to be said...again.

Q: Now that avatars are enabled, why do some avatars appear enormously big? In the user control panel, it says that avatars must be a maximum size of 80 X 80 pixels or 19.5 KB, whichever is smaller. Some avatars are clearly over that.

A: The restrictions are in place now, however if avatars from the old message board were ported in, they can get around the restriction limits until the user edits their avatar.

We will allow a grace period for users to comply with the new restrictions. However, at some later point TBD, we will begin removing old avatars that do not meet the current standards.

This statement is simply not true. I just uploaded my avatar a little while ago, and the requirements were 150x150 max pixels and some max kb. There was no 80x80 requirement in the upload via the control panel. My huge current avatar is not a legacy avatar from the old board.

Since my avatar is not an "old avatar" I am going to ASSume that the mods stay true to their quoted words above and not remove my current avatar that was uploaded with the new software with no shenanigans involved.

Certainly no need to act like a child over it.


Yo mama...

The information posted is what was related to me by the Ciphent representative and the PDGA administrator. I am only the messenger and cannot vouch 100% for the performance of this message board, which is still being tweaked hourly by the Ciphent representative.

And what a shame that this long-time PDGA volunteer has to be subjected to the childish capitalization of letters in his last name to effect a personal attack. :mad:

Was this post or the "informational" previous posts made as a forum moderator with inside information, or were just personal opinion? I can't really tell since what looks like a personal account was used for the posting.

Is there a way to lock in the order of posts being listed? I figured out how to change it, but it won't stay set when I leave that page.

I noticed that all sub-forums aren't that way, some work like they used to on the old board.

Yes, me too. When I change the Display options at the bottom of the page when viewing a forum, I have to do it everytime I go back to that forum. Can you "save" your display options?

Been awhile since I've seen you in person...On the message board you're a total lagrASSa. It is the only pressing issue with the conversion for me.

So I guess you were having a hard time understanding the "we have noted your issue" part, eh?

Slamming a moderator who has nothing to do with the administration and setup/configuration seems like a really wise and productive thing to do...it would sure make me want to jump right up and fix your problem.

Steps to reproduce:

- click on User CP link
- see if you can read the last digit of the year on any notification ** If you can, then let me know so I can track this down, but I can tell there are icons truncated right above my dates... **

No last number here either.

Moderators don't test stuff, that is not their job.

Here's a nice feature of the new PDGA DISCussion Board software, if you haven't already found it:

In the "Quick Links" menu bar above, the "Today's Posts (http://www.pdga.com/discussion/search.php?do=getdaily)" will show all the threads which were active in the last 24 hours. It's a nice way of seeing where the recent activity on the message board is.

Once you've gotten to the point where you've read all the threads you are interested in, you can click on the "Mark Forums Read (http://www.pdga.com/discussion/forumdisplay.php?do=markread)" link. Then, the next time you return to the message board, click on the New Posts (http://www.pdga.com/discussion/search.php?do=getnew) link in the menu bar. Then all the threads which have received activity since the last time you visited the message board will be displayed. :cool:

Well I just tried to update mine and it is still my log in name.


Has this yet to be fixed? I just cleared all my setting and it still didn't make one difference.

some of these new additions are nice, but it just seems like a waste of cash since each time they "fix" something..less and less people use the boards

Now mine and okcacehole's PDGA passwords are on display in our profiles? This conversion is a complete joke, and a waste of money...

Well that is awesome...so much for the security fixes also...what a joke

and now I can't get that option to show up to remove it..fix this ASAP PDGA

It's showing 81 members and 160+ non members using it..sad all those people with questions can't ask them anymore

If they can't ask questions, I'm wondering how I get around 1000 emailed questions a year from anyone who fills out the Contact form whether member or not?

Cause your just that special Chuck..............

They are not allowed to use the full message board...and that is a waste..good now Chuck...for answering all those questions, it's about time your PM's are working - thanks new board :)

Thanks for reminding me. I turned off PMs again. Email has worked so much better to keep track of questions and responses going back and forth when needed. Thanks to the revised website utilities, it won't be long before I'll stop most posting here and just respond thru the Contacts page and posting new FAQs on topics when needed.

I didn't say I would stop posting. However, the more I can supply the answers to common questions in the FAQs and topic areas versus repetitive posting, the faster and easier it will be for people to find the answers for better service all around.

how many of those 'non-members' are members who have re-visited without signing back in?

non-members quit frequenting this place long ago in favor of sites where they can interact with real disc golfers rather than canned 'faq' pages from sites like ours where you must pay to play...

right, why interact when there's an option to make everything here 'canned'?

All of the "changes" are to discourage use...The decision makers continue to fail the organization, despite the skewed statistics they seem to always reference.

They blocked my previous signature even though it fully complied with the 1,000 character limit...Hope they like the new one.

Good grief...you guys are going waaaay overboard with this stuff.

The third reich? You think the PDGA is that bad...quit supporting and dont re-new or work for change to make it better. You seem to have enough of time on your hands, thats for sure....

This is a "looking for feedback" thread, and that is my feedback. Go play on facebook or something, or better yet, go practice some more...

So who is this PDGA Member with all the posts, but different avatars?

Maybe TX and CA should form separate orgs and see just how many members the PDGA has left...................just kidding but that would be half of all members.

Had a nice talk with Jim Orum this weekend as well........................

So who is this PDGA Member with all the posts, but different avatars?

Wow, yeah, no usernames. What's the deal with this? Kinda makes it hard to figure out who's posting anything.

As if my inferior rating makes my opinions inferior....:rolleyes: Grow up for crying out loud....

My feedback is that I think the new message board is going to be great. I say give it a bit of time...let the admins get it straightened out.

Your rating doesn't make your opinions inferior, your obsequiousness towards the pDGA does...

I'm fairly new to PDGA and this seemed like a fun place to post this question. I readily admit I do not have much DG wisdom...

Does the member designation that is posted above the avatars mean anything? I noticed "member, junior member, senior member and PDGA member". What affects that status?

Its your age.

Its your age.

You sure about that, Bill?

Anybody know what's up with the return of anonymous posting?

And how is replacing "click, click, back. back" with "click, highlight, Ctrl C, hover, click, Ctrl V, Enter, back, back, back" an upgrade?

we could find out, but it will cost us another $75,000...

$75,000? That sounds like the deal of the century!

if you can explain exactly what you mean I might be able to shed some light on best practice within vbulletin to help get you back on track.

any chance you could enable quick reply without having to click for it?

He's referring to the PDGA # that shows up in the About Me tab when clicking on a user. The previous MB auto generated a link that went to the players stats page.

if you can explain exactly what you mean I might be able to shed some light on best practice within vbulletin to help get you back on track.It used to be that any member's player rating and stats were just two mouse clicks away from their post. Click, click, back, back. Now it's a two-handed mouse and keyboard extravaganza.

Has anyone else had your browser hijacked after clicking a forum link? I clicked in the players area and it diverted to a tracking survey which is a tool for the advertiser to see if their ads are reaching the right people. It is part of the advertising partner contract that the pDGA entered into recently; if you haven't had your browser hijacked yet, you will. I called the company that tracks the surveys and they confirmed there are full page "link invites" which will pop-up and delay the page your trying to go to for 10 seconds. I run Mozilla with an ad blocker add-on, so it's not a problem with my browser...I should have filled out the survey, there's a chance to win $1,000!!!

This may have been asked already, if so sorry.


On the old site you could filter your tourney search to several states on a given weekend. Is that not possible now.

I could pick: Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska
Then pick May ???

The site would then only list those events.

The advanced search option is there now. I don't know if it was there before. Still waiting for the restoration of click-click-back-back

The absence of that option is one of the many exciting features of the new website.

plus ca change; plus c est la meme chose. maybe that is why they don't want non-members here and chased away all the participants -- they knew the new website would yield atrocious bang for the buck and that the foolishly loyal were a captive audience anyway. [confused]

The advanced search option is available. Just click on Advanced when you are on the Schedule page.

when I post it says it is after Today, 07:30 PM look at my post time when it is really 3:30 I will try what chuck suggests.

that is weird it showed me as posting at 7:30 then when I went back it shows 3:30. ichanged back to hawaiin time and it shows 3:30 then I hit edit and it changed it to 11:30 something is screwed up. I think it has to do with doing edits?

please use your true time zone in the User CP so we can troubleshoot properly.

Turns out Minnesota is in the Hawaiian time zone with a -10 versus -6 offset. Try that. :confused:

Chuck,

That's the same offset I am also using, down here a "fur piece" on I-35 from the "other" Twin Cities.

Admin072 is here to clean up ;) I'm going to bet its one of 3 things:

1. The Drupal integration with vbulletin
2. The config.php file on the server needs tweaking
3. The database server is on a different server than the webserver and has a different system time

If you notice when using quick reply below, your post will show the proper time. Only after refreshing the page does it add four hours to the timestamp.

yes it is .. I am using my time zone now and its off by 4 hours

I like to play new courses. That gives me an excuse to play lousy on them, since I don't know them...

But, the course page printout uses 2 pages. I've done all the tweaking here that I know. The font is big on the Printer Friendly page generated by the site. It would be nice to get that shrunk to fit on one page.

Thanks!
(oh, the time stamp thing is ongoing...it says this post was made 9 hours in the future, which means roughly Krakow time, I think.)

yes it is .. I am using my time zone now and its off by 4 hours
time test...still off by 4 hours. Ciphent, hello???

During the conversion my username somehow got changed to my login name and i can't seem to change it back. Can someone please change my username back to "Dick" even if i changes my login name? thanks!

Nope

any chance of extending the autologout time to more than the 15 minutes it feels like now?

I thought that was now a non-issue?

I very often get logged out while typing a post. When I finish and attempt to post I get the error that I am not authorized to post, please logout and log back in.

I hate that. It's ****** me off more than once.

I think this must either be a local issue for you, or it's personal :P

I haven't been logged off in months from any of my home PC, my work laptop or my iPod touch

It still happens to me almost daily. I've started typing posts in a text editor and pasting them into the box whole. At least then if it gets wiped out I still have a copy to paste in again.

On the old site it would have me log back in every couple of weeks, but I have never been "logged off" while using the site (old or new) On the old mess board, if I took too long to type a post, it would tell me something had expired and couldn't proceed. However, I could just hit the back button, copy and paste and continue. I have not had anything like that happen with the new site. I can now have posts "in process" for hours and don't experience the old problem or the new "log out" problem others are experiencing.

Could it be a browser problem? I use Firefox with ABP.

I haven't seen any issues with being logged out on the new site. In fact, I can be logged in from multiple machines and it doesn't get confused like the old site. Also a Firefox user.

No problem with IE8. However, I have touchy BACK button on my mouse and have wiped out some posts being prepared. Clicking FORWARD doesn't seem to recover it. So on longer ones, I open Notepad and paste what I've typed so far every so often just in case.

in the conversion my username seems to have reverted to my login name, which i never really used. Is there a way to change my username or could someone change my username back to Dick? thanks!

It might take a miracle...

Jun 15th was the cutoff to send an email in requesting a name change.

I am experiencing an intermittent problem. I like to use the New Posts tab. It will show all posts since the last time I marked everything read. The problem I have is when I am done with the first page and I click on page 2 or >>, it tells me no results match my search. Yet, I can go back to page one and see there are two or more pages of posts yet to read. Again, this does not happen all the time, but seems to be occurring more often.

Anyone else experience this?

It still happens to me almost daily. I've started typing posts in a text editor and pasting them into the box whole. At least then if it gets wiped out I still have a copy to paste in again.
Sounds like you have a restrictive cookie setting in your browser. Worth an extended look.

a simple way to figure if this may be the case is to use a default install of another browser such as Google Chrome.

...I have touchy BACK button on my mouse and have wiped out some posts being prepared. Clicking FORWARD doesn't seem to recover it...
depends on your cache settings ;)

Jun 15th was the cutoff to send an email in requesting a name change.


Why would there be a cutoff date? That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't be the first time it couldn't understand what the PDGA was doing though. Sometimes i still don't even after they explain it. Seems like an easy enough task for any moderator to do. I'm sure it takes all of 2 minutes to do.

Nope, moderators don't have that ability. Only admins do.

So what happened to the ability to start polls?

Also how does someone post a photo?

Finally, I figured out where to edit to get the time stamp right, have smileys, fonts, etc available....

To hawkgammon, go into the USER CP on the toolbar, top left of the page. GO to "edit options" and scroll down. and down, and down. there, finally, will show the text editing option. You need to choose at least the 2nd option.

now, I wonder if the time will be right??

EDIT: NOPE! The options page says "all times are GMT -5" at the bottom, when in the selection box it's clearly -6. And, the time stamp on this message seems to be GMT-1.

Gracias Steve.

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.

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

time issue test....is it fixed??

NOPE.

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. :rolleyes:

someone needs to take care of this (http://kanyelicio.us/http://pdga.com/) asap!

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.

It used to be that any member's player rating and stats were just two mouse clicks away from their post. Click, click, back, back. Now it's a two-handed mouse and keyboard extravaganza.

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.

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. :D
