We'll have a new one each month, open for all to give feedback.

If we missed something in the previous month's thread, post again here. Feedback can be anything, ranging from smilies to new content idea, etc. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post an idea publicly.

A thought ...

All of our emotions are between colons:

:popcorn: :mad: :sick: :check:

Except the recruiting ones:

[espnu150] [6star] [5star]

Consistency would be :check::check:

Personal pet peeve ... at the root forums for the Wish List Tournament (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?46-Madden-NFL-Community-Wish-List-Tournament) and ODs (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?26-Donator-Online-Dynasties), there's no actual forum, so I can't choose Forum Tools -> Mark Forum Read. Instead, I have to go into the individual forums and mark them as read. If we just make some post at the root level, like an intro post or something, then I would have access to that choice. It'd just be nice.

In all seriousness, an intro post at the root level wouldn't be a bad idea.

For the Wishlist Tournament, just double click on the main forum icon for it. For the ODs, you would have to go into the main OD forum and then double click each.

I think the Community Wishlist forums, for NCAA and Madden (when it's done), should get archived off somewhere so they're still easily found. I know how to find them, but others might want to drop by and check them out.

Emoticons from the forums at covers.com :nod:

Not surprisingly, steelerfan, you can't look at the entire directory of emoticons for covers.com (I tried) ... so, honestly, the only way cdj or G could give us all of those emoticons would be if someone copied the links and posted them all for us.

Some of 'em are pretty nice though ... not all of 'em.

They're not all applicable here, I agree.

JB has an account there. I'm sure he could cultivate what's needed. ;)

Yeah, and JB offered the same thing. But I don't want to add money that would never get used (because we never get a game going). If we can get one organized with more than just a few people, I'd definitely take you up on that.

We've opened up the Blogs feature for all users. It's great feature that is currently under-utilized, so we want to open up this creative outlet for more users.

Is there anyway we can get emotions for ALL 1A teams?

I was wanting to do a :Duke: "2K8" Dynasty here and I think those little emotions will make for pretty easy reporting.

EDIT: also Conference logo/NCAA logo emotions would also be great!

Hmmm.....I think we can do that. I can pull them off Yahoo or ESPN.

I thought we had conference logos in, but I guess not. I'll try and get those in the upcoming week.

Sounds good. No real rush. I'm still playing with sliders and what not and its not like 2K8 is going anywhere anytime soon.

Ability to switch your skin from mobile to something else... Currently on mobile you can't get to that part of the settings page

I was able to get it back as I remembered Jeff posting a link somewhere and he remembered that it was in the December Forum Feedback.

By the way, Eric, the way I found it was searching "site:thegamingtailgate.com JeffHCross mobile skin" in Google. First result was a quote of when Marlowe got stuck.

Unfortunately, off the top of my head, I don't know what cdj can add that ability in the Mobile skin without hacking it into it. I'm really surprised that they created it without that ability though.

Just to put it as many places as possible, this link will reset your skin to Bullish: http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=4

I think moving the Other Video Games forum into the "Other Discussion" category, and combining the Madden and Tiger Woods forums into a single category would help streamline the forum front UI a little bit.

I think the way they are are perfectly fine. They both definitely deserve their own groups on the main forum based on the following, leagues, etc.

Gotcha... I didn't realize they didn't have that customization ability on the skins.

Gotcha... I didn't realize they didn't have that customization ability on the skins.They do, but it's somewhat limited. I'm not familiar enough with what code allows you to change skins to say whether you could add that to the Mobile skin.

One possible option, similar to how we have "New Posts" links on all of the other skins now, would be a link somewhere in that Mobile skin for "return to regular skin", rather than giving you a drop down with choices.

vBulletin themselves have released an update that includes a new mobile skin. Will be updating to that in the near future, however we're first waiting for them to the complete the ability to use a WYSIWYG post ability in Chrome. It's slated to be soon though how soon we don't know. I would assume by the end of March at the latest though.

Sort of semi-related is there anyway to get the text more in line with the smilies?

Example



TEAM|1|2|FINAL
#1 :Duke: |31|29|60
:Virginia_Tech:|33|31|64



The #1 isn't really in line with the Duke smiilie.
