Questions About The Site

Well, this goes no place that matters..... but on the five forums I post on, I finally have the last post on all 5. My work here is nearly complete....

I'm on record asking for a Wolves site, and it's crystal clear that that's not going to happen. Based on the demise of wildxtra and Vikings journal, it makes plenty of sense. I propose that we add a couple 'folders' to the sports bar. That way, instead of writing my t Wolves thoughts in the 2016-17 T Wolves thread, we have a designated space for t Wolves talk (or vikes, or wild) within the sports bar. I think it would be nice and relatively easy.

So, when I use my phone, I can give likes to peoples' posts. Seems now, when accessing this site on the laptop, I can't. Any thoughts on that?

I would like to ask the moderators pull the plug on the series of articles about the worst Twins ever. It is very negative. This series is different from other articles which I have enjoyed on the Twins Daily site. I feel it demeans some players that we all used to cheer for. Win or lose, home run or strike out, we still pull for the Twins.This is the type of article I used to see on mlb.com. All the complaining and whining were so negative that I quit reading the articles on mlb.com. That is one reason TD is such a breath of fresh air. I have a friend who played for the Twins in 1987. He has a World Championship ring. What if he were selected for this list. How do you th…

I’ve taken issue with the recent handling of a thread and I have some concerns. Before I elaborate, I’m going to be VERY CLEAR that this isn’t an admonishment of all moderators (or even those involved) so there is no need for posts referencing the work mods do or how thankless the job is; this isn’t a trial and I’m not looking for evidence to condemn or exonerate. I was directed here via pm by one of the mods involved. Lastly, I’m not going to specifically name other posters, mods, or the thread as the concerns have to do with policy application and therefore calling out someone else by name is irrelevant. I received an initial warning point in a thread because the disc…

Why is DaveW's veracity beyond reproach? I mean, he's a fun poster and all but we have regular commentators on TD - Jeremy, Seth and others - with real connections to Twins people and none of them are supporting that an offer has even been made or is anywhere close. We all know that the Dodgers have interest in Dozier - that's well documented - but, after that, DaveW is the only guy anywhere that seems to be suggesting actual players being involved (and suggesting enough obvious different ones that one version may end up being correct). And he's been been saying it for days while national media types haven't heard any of these rumors. Although those national types are…

Hey RP, My load times are insanely slow--they have been for weeks, but today it takes as much as a minute for any page on TD to load. Maybe this problem is isolated to me, but it's been consistent and particular to this site. (I've tried using both Firefox and Chrome.)

In one thread a poster wrote: 'Other than trading Span and Revere...and helping them lose lots of games so they pick earlier, how has the GM re-stocked the farm? Sano, Kepler, Polanco, Rosario, Gibson, Hicks, all were in the system before he came back, right?' Let's look at three responses: #1 'Again, since Ryan played an extremely instrumental part in building the 60-person staff that's been involved with very aspect of the success of every one of the players you mentioned, you're absolutely right, Mr. Sixel. Ryan hasn't done a thing except help them lose lots of games so they pick earlier' #2 Right, I forgot we don't give him credit for drafts and international …

I was wondering if any consideration is given with regard to missing warnings? That is, say a moderator posts in a thread that continuing X is going to warrant a warning. Then you continue X because you didn't read the post. Are we supposed to read every post to watch for this kind of thing?

Is there anything in the works for a wolves site? The 2015-16 wolves thread isn't doing it for me, and this team is going to become something else, man. I'll mod that site, and it will be saweeeeet.

This has been showing up here for the past week or so. Requires restarting mobile Safari and that is not always effective.

VJ has a great (but smallish) community going over there and has some really good articles/threads with tons of info. Unlike most other NFL forums, the overall community IQ is actually pretty damn impressive. Additionally, the Vikings, unlike our Twins, are actually kicking some serious ass these days, so the need for quality content about our Vikings is at somewhat of a high point (especially with all the bandwagoner fans starting to look for space on the Vikings express) Twins Daily obviously has a much larger user base and has been around longer, but I feel you guys are wasting multiple opportunities to promote the excellent coverage/conversation at VikingsJournal,…

I assume this is the right forum?

My one word to describe the 2016 Minnesota Twins thread was deleted. Good lord mods, easy up on the censorship eh? That thread was in good fun, stop with deleting everything that can potentially make a person or two slightly upset.

The last three times I have used the site on my phone, I can use it for about five links, then it tells me to download stuff to protect my phone....

No comments on this article, but what's with this constant reloading and jumping back to the first page? I've experienced this problem for the past several days. Is it my browser or did one of the geeks "new and improve" the website? Annoying as hell!

The last two days on multiple computers the page reloads itself over and over and over. Even when I click the stop script on my browser it keeps going. It's not on the main page or this page but inside each individual thread. Anyone else getting this? It's slowing down my system dramatically. Windows 10 and Google Chrome.

How do you do that?

I keep getting booted to ESPN sweet spot, from the forums......just started now.

I am having script issues again and again. On multiple computers and browsers. This ends up actually freezing all tabs even if not TD tabs.

Pretty much every minute or two on this site using an iPad. Often when trying to post. I'm amazed this worked.

Am I the only one getting these while in threads? It's relentless right now.

I've been getting sql errors, among other things, Brock.

How can I be out of likes today already? I think the ones last night were counted too...... whatevs, I'm just kidding.

It seems that when an administrator promotes/re-posts someone else's blog post (not sure the exact process, I am not an admin ), the correct original author is shown on the front page and article page, but in the forum view, it credits only the administrator and not the original author. See for example Seth's recent promotion of a Jesse Lund piece. Article view, correctly credited to Jesse Lund: http://twinsdaily.com/articles.html/_/minnesota-twins-news/minnesota-twins-minor-leagues/a-study-on-organizational-minor-league-rankings-r4587 Forum view, incorrectly credited to Seth with no mention of Jesse (until someone thanks him in the comments): http://twinsdaily.com/…

I've been eagerly awaiting my favorite feature on TD for the past seven months, and here is Minor League Opening Day with no AAP sign up page. Has this been discontinued? I know last year wasn't the most productive, but I'd take more if necessary, and who knows who might step up to the plate this year! I don't know ... it just seems even more sacrilegious to annihilate AAP than it would be to quit the game threads because they didn't go beyond four pages in a whole week.

Posts more or less accusing Miguel Sano of "lying" about a sick grandparent in order to get out of....well to get out of nothing really since it is the off-season is ok, but responding to said comment is delete/warn/ban worthy? I'm sorry, but I stand by my original post, it's absolutely disgusting to accuse/punish/admonish a player for caring about a sick family member. If that is ban worthy, then go ahead and ban me.

Keeping in mind Senator Stevens of Alaska, now dead, still knows more about how the internet works than me, I seem to have a consistent problem when accessing TD. No matter what browser I use, my internet seems to stall out for 5-10 minutes and then it's working just fine, sometimes I wait it out, sometimes I restart my computer. Speedtest.com says my internet is working pretty fast - 60mb and my computer isn't that old so it shouldn't be that. I get this problem only when I try and log onto a few specific websites which have forums (TD and daily kos, for example), not sure if that has anything to do with it but websites like facebook or cnn.com don't seem to screw up…

Does anyone know why when I post something the spaces following the periods are deleted? I end up with these really dense, hard to read paragraphs. Just to test this sentence is bolded. This is Italicized. This is underlined.

how does everyone fell about giant pictures in the signature line? I hate them......not because of what they are, but because they are big and distracting and you can't ignore them like you can a sig line......
