You know what, you're correct. Looking at both your dynasty and HB's Prairie Dogs dynasty, you can tell in both that the first post on each new page is being forced over like there are narrower margins in that first post or something.

We've noticed that too and agree that it's annoying. I "think" may know how to fix it, but let us get back to you guys on that.

Here's a Vbulletin thread discussing it: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt....-Patch-Lvl-1&
Fix thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ighlight=width

Off-topic ... the mobile skin that I see on my older-generation phones is absolutely horrid. Actually, horrid doesn't begin to cover it. For reasons unknown, the entire forum gets covered in red. Not to say this needs fixed, as I'm probably the only fool trying that, but it may be worth looking around to see if it's common.

w00t! That frustrated me so much from the beginning, I can't believe it took that long for me to Google it.

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!

For some reason, I honestly never noticed that until I went and posted my dynasty thread. Then I thought it was just something I had done wrong. Thanks so much for fixing that!

**cdj** · 07-22-2010, 06:09 AM

Thank you, Tommy. I kinda liked the nursery rhyme first post format, though.

**oweb26** · 07-22-2010, 06:17 AM

Is it possible by some chance for you guys to get an alternative link to the site...for example I can' t pull up operation sports at work, but they have an alternative address..titled osatwork.com, can you guys do something of the sorts. I would totally understand if you say hey man that shit cost money...

I am not even a fan of OS but I get pretty bored at work sometimes.

**morsdraconis** · 07-22-2010, 09:46 AM

Thanks a bunch for fixing that Tommy and crew!

Dumb question - How does that not get blocked at places of employment? Is it the name or is there something special I am unaware of?

Because it has the word 'work' in it, therefore it has to be work, right?

My assumption is that Iron has the basic idea of it... however it's not that "because it has work, it must be work", but rather since it doesn't have sports or gaming or similar, it's not automatically flagged. The thing is though, it can still be flagged manually by the designer of the software and then obviously will be inaccessible. For example... my old OD site, sbcol.net was rather quickly flagged by Websense. There might be more to it but again, that's my assumption.

**JeffHCross** · 07-22-2010, 12:12 PM

I'm pretty sure OSatWork is flagged by the majority of systems out there. OS's main domain doesn't have anything in it that would auto-flag it either ... it's just a content check. OSatWork would be the same way.

The thing I was getting at is that it took 'sports' out of the title, and maybe the word 'work' wouldn't be blocked.. or something.

Yeah hell if I know why, I just assumed it had something to do with not have "game" in the title, I can even get to Utopia (NCAA Strategies), we can even get ESPN but anything that has do with the word game we cant get.

I can open goozex but I cant click on recent games or I go to a block screen. So my vote would go to the word "game".

Let us know how it looks and works.

**JeffHCross** · 07-27-2010, 11:56 AM

I'll check it tonight. Thanks Chris.

**steelerfan** · 07-28-2010, 01:03 PM

I use the "What's New" tab nearly exclusively. It'd be great if there were a way for me to block threads that I'll never post in from populating there. I realize that's probably not possible, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Alternatively, it would be nice if threads with generic titles (ie General Discussion) were given specific titles (ie PS3 TGT OD General Discussion) so my lazy ass wouldn't have to look over at what forum it's in to know whether or not it pertains to me.

Great job with the site overall guys. I'm still very happy to call this place home. Thanks for all your effort!

**Kingpin32** · 07-28-2010, 01:54 PM

One request I have is if we can get the Whats new tab at the bottom of the page also if it's possible.
