Questions About The Site

Can any member create a poll? I have tried to do so, without success. I have checked the box for creating a poll, but cannot seem to figure out the next step. Never mind, I figured it out -- you need to post then the poll options come up. NOW, please explain how to delete a dumb thread like this one.

Perhaps I'm just being far too long-winded in my posts, but I've noticed that often when the text wraps from one line to the next, after I've made the post the last word of the line gets doubled up and repeated at the beginning of the next line.

This was posted in the wrong forum.

Overall, I have really enjoyed the site so far. If it's maintained and there's a steady flow of chatter in the forum & comment sections, I really think this site will be my one-stop shop for all Twins-related material. A couple of things that I like are the simplicity of the site overall, sometimes people worry more about the look of a site than the content, and I feel like this site really makes the articles and discussion the focal point. Which isn't to say that the site doesn't look great, because it does, but that it's not hard to navigate around anything, even for people that aren't familiar with these kinds of sites. So kudos on that. Also, I like the side…

JakeE141414! Congrats! You'll be getting a CASE of Salted Nut Rolls from Pearson's to celebrate the inclusion of their iconic candy bar at Target Field. (I'll email you to get your address.) We 74 members get all the answers right and Eric was the winner of the random drawing. Here were the answers to the trivia questions: 1. Five Twins have won the AL MVP award, including Mauer, Morneau, Carew and Killebrew. Name the fifth: Zoilo Veralles in 1965. For a great recap of the '65 season and how Versalles put together that season, I recommend the book "Cool of the Evening" by Jim Thielman. 2. Name the iconic Boston catcher the Twins originally drafted in the 1993 amateur d…

1,000th post coming soon. Wow.

Pearson's Salted Nut Rolls are available at Target Field, and to celebrate, Pearson's is offering a case of their iconic candy to one of Twins Daily's members! It's easy. You CLICK ON THIS CONTEST PAGE and fill out answers to the six Twins trivia questions. It's only available to Twins Daily members. On Monday the 16th, we'll find all members with ALL the answers right and select one at random. We'll contact the winner and Pearson's will send them a case of Salted Nut Rolls. (It's absolutely killing The Voice of Reason that I won't let her enter.) Pearson's is offering this because they're so excited that their King Size Salted Nut Roll is the first non-licorice can…

This is something I have used on other forums. Whenever a new account is created, they are not able to post in any threads until an admin changes their authority. We could create a thread that they can post in so they can prove they are not a spammer, then they can be promoted. The down sides of this is it does create more work for the admins since they have to approve everyone, plus it might deter some people from starting an account knowing they have to do this. It should clear out any spam accounts though. Thoughts?

When you go to the blogs section, all of the top blogs are some random gibberish.

Every time I try to save my forum signature, it doesn't save and takes me to the main settings page. Any thoughts on what to do? EDIT: Turns out I figured it out.

Entered in the RSS Feed on the Main Page for the Top Stories and when it loads in my reader (Google) it doesn't include author information. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm becoming kind of annoyed by something and before I let it turn me completely off from continuing to post in the forum, I thought I'd check to see if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it really is in the system. I seem to have to continuously log in over and over again every time I want to post something in the forum. I get that requiring a log in to participate in the discussions is probably a good idea, if not a necessity, in something like this. But do I really have to log in over and over again every time I post a comment in a new thread or under a different topic... all within the same session? Is there a "time out" setting that's set at about five minutes o…

Because this is brilliant/amazing/wonderful, etc.

Just a quick note that I thought I'd post - I hope people find it. 1) Right now, we're trying to find 1-3 quality blog posts to promote each day to the front page. This morning I went out and promoted only one -the one about meeting Vic Powers, which needed a lot of editing but was such a good story I couldn't pass it up. But I wanted to mention that there were at least four others that were right on the edge of earning a promotion. I either was going to need to promote all four or none, and I chose none, mostly because I'm out of time. So I wanted to point out: - There are some good blog entries that don't make it to the front page. You might want to check those out.…

have you guys ever heard of Tapatalk? It's an app that is added to message boards that allow users to access easily from their mobile devices. I am part of serveral other message boards and have seen this in use. It is WAY better than trying to pull the webpage up the old fashioned way. Check it out: http://www.tapatalk.com/

Is there any way to list the blog name or author to the links in the "GameDay's Twins Blogosphere Guide" section?

Just took my first crack at creating a blog post. I simply copied source text from one of my Knuckleballs posts. The pictures didn't carry over, of course, so I went to insert them. I know there's an icon to "insert image" but I don't see a picture when I "preview" the post. Also, I don't see how you would add a caption to the picture. It's quite a bit different from our WordPress EvoLve theme, but I'll keep playing around with it. - JC
