OT: Site Layout

[g00n]

Not sure if this falls into this, I tried to report it once via the help page but got no response. I have scripts running that just constantly load over and over and over and suck all my bandwidth. So bad that if I'm streaming live TV it starts buffering. Then if you watch closely in the bottom left corner of the browser it says "Uploading.....100%" What's uploading and why?

Are these ads? I honestly don't know if they're ads or scripts relating to forum functionality? Anybody else seeing this?

Since you already contacted support I passed on your post.

I had some hanging issues the other day that resolved overnight. Not sure what it was.

There appears to be some kind of issue with embedded tweets in chrome that they're working on.

Yes, this is killing me right now. Legit cannot read certain threads after a tweet's embeded.

Thank you g00n! Not happening at the moment but I'll monitor to see what happens. Hopefully they got it fixed up.

Why is everything in bold letters by default now?

Because everything is REALLY important


(jk, no it's not, they're screwing around with the fonts a lot)

everything i type is very important though

I guess my complaint worked, everything's back to normal. What you and hockeykicker have to say is not important, everyone knows I'm the boss here

I'm here for more than 2 years and I always wanted to ask a question.

Why do we have to close a thread after 40 pages?

It used to be because of server load and back end management issues. Since then we've gone through a number of upgrades that make the 1000 post limit more or less arbitrary. We will slide past it on some threads and reboot others for continuity or searchability etc.

Do you have to do it now too? Because I saw a Matthews/McDavid with 80+ pages on the main

We don't have to. But for the long, ongoing discussions, it keeps the management/modding easier. We likely won't do it anymore for GDTs or other threads that have a shorter shelf-life.

Big recurring topics on the mains like that are a pain in the ass to moderate and as soon as you close one three more pop up. So it's better to just let one go since it's going to be multi-part anyway.

There aren't really many threads here that we could let go forever like a general player comparison discussion. We usually talk about things that roll over at least once per season (new rosters, new season, etc).

Plus, the owners of the site do not like "megathreads" to begin with.

Thanks to both of you for the answers.

What's happening with the threads??

Football (soccer) thread went from (I can't even recall the page) to page 134
the general discussion caps thread went from page 40+ to 80+

It seems like different part were reunited for some threads.

Please stop loading articles by default. Really makes it difficult to navigate to this forum and others.

Contact support. You know we don't control that.

Site admins are experimenting with a 'mini-me' icon over the thread starter icon on forum pages. It indicates threads you have posted in.

[g00n]

Yeah, it's a little bizarre. I miss the old puck icons

hf should add a "black list" option. Would love to hide some posts from trolls on the mains boards.
