Please can we go back to the OLD way of stickied player info on Sunday (1 Viewer)

[Lash]

posted this above but feel that this deserves its own thread to discussthere isn't a GAIN to doing it the new way other than concisenessbut the LOSS is bigmany cant sit at computer making 2-3 cliks for EVERY Player we seek

an immediate vote for the OLD way please!!i like to look on the stickies and go straight to the EXACT player and see how many replies have been made since i last readif i don't see any new ones i dont have to click on the threadthis NEW way makes that impossible and i will have to make the extra two or three cliks for each player just to see if new info has been madeeven more scary for a dial-up user tooalso, when the official word that that player is INACTIVE/OUT , that info can be placed in the sub-titlewith the entire NFL WR and RB and QB now in one thread each, you won't have enough room to update that in the subtitles for every playercan we go back right now and not wait til next week LOL!

this doesnt even count us churchgoers who have even LESS time in the mornings to get updates, we can't spend that time multiple clicking (some dial-up)

New way - less clutter, more organized = better and more efficient.

An extra click is too much? Sounds lazy to me. PS - On my way to church right now, and not problems with an extra click.

Thanks for the yelling Ditka. Very constructive.

I'm not a fan of it either. When you're managing a whole bunch of teams and have quite a few situations to monitor, it's nice to be able to visually scan all the threads so I can quickly see which have been updated.

Plus, with my browser setting the way I prefer them for every other day of the week, each link opens a new tab in my browser, which is also annoying.

it is two clicks to receive info

when all it takes now is a GLANCE

easy for you to talk about LAZY when you probably have DSL or cable

dial up on weekends could be 1-2-3 minutes EVERY CLICK

as it has been in the past, if you look at the thread an NO NEW posts have been made you don't have to even clik on the thread

FBG USED to be my source for Sunday AM updates. Im not digging around each thread to try to find the info I want on certain players. Just awful.I imagine many will join me if they don't go back to the old way next week.

It must be real hard to try and figure out if Travis Henry is a RB when week 10 rolls around. I feel your pain.

[Sleehrat]

There are some threads that I read on this site that makes it very difficult for me to argue to my wife that I'm NOT involved in a nerd-ish hobby.

This thread is one of them.

 

[Lash]

i guess no one else lives in a rural area and has dial-up?

if you did, you'd understand

 

[Kub]

I preferred the old way, but I'll live.

dail-up?!?I understand the rural limitation angle, but for god's sake man go satellite!

In a related topic, I hate how my rotary dial telephone takes me longer to dial.

 

[joffer]

if there's actual news, the thread won't be on page 3, it'll be near the top.

 

[eom]

aren't there threads for each player floating around?

 

[thehornet]

old way please

 

[FFdork]

aren't there threads for each player floating around?

Yes, but now there mingling with all of the poorly concealed AC topics and the '_________ will punch ___________' in the mouth threads. Not a big deal if there's only 1 or 2 situations you care about. A big pain in the butt if your managing 5+ teams and have to monitor a bunch of situations.

 

[spitkickers]

We could bypass this thread but some of the posters must be paladins and need the shoulder pad of clicking for extra health. Can we get a number crunch on our odds of solving this? 32.33 % (repeating of course)?

Leroy Jenkins!

How did I yell?!?

I would suggest a compromise -- combining threads on minor players or players on the same team (such as Branch & Hackett last week) and having individual threads for the bigger names.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I'm adding a poll.

 

[Max Power]

I have to agree, I am not liking the new way. about 90% of the posts so far have been people asking why ______ isnt listed in the thread or saying they dont like it.

Now instead of having 30 threads with several worthless posts, now you have 5 threads loaded with worthless posts.

 

[GrandpaRox]

You cannot find what you need as easy as before, this is not an improvement

Old way was definitely better, you could just refresh the main page and see if there was an update on any of the players you were following.

you can still do that, if there's been an update, it will be near the top, and now there's more room for non-stickied threads.

That was good. For the record, I voted old way. Wait till my wife finds out I actually voted in a poll here.

 

[TxBuckeye]

Have to vote old way myself. Don't want to roll through what will become a huge thread only to find no updated data on the player I am interested in.

 

[Jackal King]

Yeah...I understand the value from a mod perspective...but from an owner perspective, the communal thread is much less efficient and productive.

I wish I was shocked about people having a hard time grasping this concept.

 

[Andy Hicks]

We'll see how this pans out and see what the poll results are, but the reason it was done this way is beacuse of the NUMEROUS complaints about too many player threads being pinned.

Can't win either way I guess.

I'll probably end up pinning all the active player threads leading up to kickoff

 

[Rocky]

I like the old way -- here, I have to read the entire position thread to see if there has been a posting about a particular person. It's a matter of reading through pages and pages, for potentially no payoff. Old way, the title could be updated, quick and easy. So long as the threads are unpinned when the games start, I don't see what the problem is.

 

[Honus]

OP, please edit your title to read, "This new way of pinning player threads ROCKS! Thanks FBG!!"

TIA

 

[RC94]

I prefer the old way.

 

[fatness]

I imagine many will join me if they don't go back to the old way next week.

I imagine you're wrong.

 

[dozer]

It's pretty poor timing to have people wake up on Sunday morning week 10 and without warning, change the way they get their information.

Old way please.

 

[Andy Hicks]

So far the vote is clearly in favor of the old way.

Unless something changes I'll be pinning all active player threads 1/2 an hour before kickoff and going back to the old way next week.

Assuming there aren't 12 WDIS threads bumping it down in the minute before you refresh. I would really like to know why people didn't like the old way? Because they had to scroll down to get to the WDIS and punching threads?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

78% of those with a preference want the old way. Couldn't be more clear - especially sine 20% of any poll will tell you the sky is orange, George Bush is a good President or that Lassie was a rooster if you include them as options.

i wasnt' a fan of 3/4 of the 1st page being taken up by pinned "injury news" threads, most of which turned into "I'm starting _________ over _________"if there's actual news, the thread doesn't need to be pinned.

If this is such a great "concept" why have any stickies?

Thanks for the response because I really couldn't see it. I am guessing you don't want any thread to be pinned ever then?

 

[Road Warriors]

I prefer the old way, for most of the reasons posted. From what I can see here, there appears to be less activity on the actual update threads than I recall. I don't have a problem navigating to the threads for info, but this technique does seem to require that I revisit any threads I have an interest in repeatedly for new info, rather than being able to easily see an update has occurred in one of the ones I'm tracking.

I can live with either way, but given a choice, I'd lean to the original method.

if there's actual news, the thread doesn't need to be pinned.

I see what you're saying, but what I see happening if we don't have player threads pinned is that people won't go searching for the "Official" thread, they'll just start a new one. Then we'll have a whole bunch of threads with the same news cluttering up the board even more. If it's pinned with the player's name, at least the majority have a good idea of where to post.Regardless, I don't think the new way is the answer.

you're guessing wrong. pinned threads have a place. the one from GregR on what you're dynasty rules should cover was fabulous. only updated every once in a while but something everyone should read.a pinned thread on whether Sidney Rice is gonna play that get's one response saying "#### it, i'm starting Roddy White over him!!!!!11" isn't necessary.

 

[patrickmcgroin]

old way

 

[My Hope Street Alias]

Old way, definitely.
