Questions About The Site

Seriously? I've been getting them constantly. I know I live close to Chicago, but on a Twins site?

Brock, there's a glitch in the system that's causing quotes from the article page to not link back to the quoted comment. If I quote something from a forum page (i.e. here), you can click the little return button to go back to the original comment (example: ChiTown quoting big dog from the forum page). However, if you're on the article page (i.e. here), the return button isn't there, and the quoted person doesn't get notified (example: me quoting Riverbrian from the article page). Edit: I just checked the problem, and when you quote in an article it has the member name and timestamp but not the quote number. Article quote:

Do we really need 3 articles about Mauer's vision? After there was already a lengthy forum thread about it too? I know sometimes there are different articles coming at a topic from different angles, stats, etc., but that doesn't seem like the case here (the only stat involved seems to be Mauer's day/night splits). I guess the site authors have a degree of autonomy, and that is cool, but it seems like when a big news story hits, you could better coordinate things like that. Especially when the topic is a sensitive one like this, where the discussion could go off the rails, it seems counterproductive to spread it over so many duplicate articles as it makes it harder for t…

Brock, I know IE isn't your favorite browser, but I've seen a lot of crashes/script hangs of late browsing the site. Not sure if it's a new add or a new patch, but just wanted to let you know I'm seeing a lot of issues browsing here of late. Edge hasn't been a lot better for what it's worth.

I would never have mentioned this if it wasn't a recurring issue. It's not a real big deal, but I keep having posts deleted without getting a follow up PM to let me know. I've noticed this several times over the past month or so, and it's beginning to get a little old. I don't mind having posts deleted...it's part of life...but I'd like to know when they are. If I'm noticing this happening, how often does it happen without me knowing? If the mod who deleted the post would just let me know I'd be far less likely to make a similar post in the future. I try to be a good poster and follow the rules; I know I've had my moments, but haven't we all? And one can't deny that I've …

No, don't eat children. But, this whole thing about going after players, teams, (and sometimes other posters) by changing and making fun of their name(s) really needs to stop. I propose this should be called out specifically in the posting guidelines and then seriously enforced. Think of it as an early New Year's resolution.

Why was the Terry Ryan/Plouffe/RBI thread deleted? It wasn't getting out of hand and brings up a legitimate concern/issue. It seems that ANYTHING that is even close to negative gets instantly deleted, especially in regards to the Twins "brain trust" Disappointing.

Huh, I only check the forums so I didn't see that article either (still don't). Is there a delay on articles appearing in the forums?

Random Question. Has TD ever considered putting a public tracker on how many people are on the site at any time? I'd be curious to see how some of the recent offseason moves have impacted traffic here. Seems as busy as I can remember it in my short time here. Keep up the good work!

After the news of the Twins winning the bidding an article called "Twins With Winning Bid On Korean Slugger" was posted to the homepage and people started posting comments to it. After a while the comments were deleted maybe and people have been posting to an old thread to discuss this. Usually I have seen when big news like this happens Twins Daily will shut down a side thread and push comments to the main article thread. Is something broken? Thanks!

I posted that I don't care if Hunter comes back or not but I did enjoy that he ticks off the segment of the fan base that doesn't like opinionated black men. Mods delete it. I guess we have a lot of Strib commentators in our mod group. Meanwhile, posts insulting the intelligence of our GM in our "congrats on our season" thread stay up.

Brock, at work, they changed a setting on IE11 (I think)...... and now I can't use any of the formatting tools. Is this something I can somehow change back?

This has been a recurring issue at various times. For whatever reason, the end of spring training has created a firestorm of negativity. Practically every thread is devolving into how the front office is full of idiots and everything is horrible. The same thing... over. and. over. The mods have done a great job trying to keep threads on topic, but it's out of control right now. It's far less enjoyable to visit the site. I'm not sure if my occasional contributions are valuable here or not, but I wanted to make it clear that I'm taking a hiatus from visiting the site for this exact reason.

Since yesterday evening, I've been intermittently reaching an error page when I click the "Mark this forum as read" link at the top of a forum page. Sometimes but not always. Never had the slightest problem with the feature before. Any ideas?

Maybe it's just me or maybe it's opening day traffic...but is anyone else having trouble with the site loading slowly? I'm also unable to view my notifications when I click on them.

For the "That's The Ticket" articles, the last portion containing the ticket prices and the all-important discount code is only visible in the regular article view, not the forum view. Article link: http://twinsdaily.com/articles.html/_/minnesota-twins-news/minnesota-twins/thats-the-ticket-catching-rays-r3655 Forum link: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/18096-article-thats-the-ticket-catching-rays/ Missing portion from end: I will be sure to follow the article link in these next time, but I thought I would make you aware in case this was an undesired behavior.

It was fine this morning; now everything is tiny. I can zoom in, but have to do so on every page. Something in a .css, maybe?

I keep running into this google security ad that says I have 13 viruses. I've run antivirus and it comes back clean but this ad keeps showing up on my Amazon Fire and then I have to open a new browser window to get back to TD. Anybody else running into this ad?

because it considered Uncategorized.

As of this a.m., I have a white square on the left side of my screen that travels down the screen as I scroll. It is translucent so I can read through it but a little annoying. Thought first it was my computer but it only appears on this site. Anybody else have this problem? Can you get rid of this, Brock?

We're hosting a contest for anyone who wants to write a few words about the Vikings and their upcoming season. The best entries will win a spot on our party bus heading down to Mankato on July 25th. Interested? Check out the details courtesy of Bo Mitchell: http://vikingsjournal.com/_/minnesota-vikings-news/minnesota-vikings/vikings-journal-kickoff-party-in-mankato-r616

It would be nice if the fourms were better synced....for example....one login that works for all of the sites. Not having to login to each forum when already logged into another. Maybe not possible since the forums have different web addresses....but figured it would be worth starting the conversation if it's possible. This may have been discussed already. If so....I missed it. Anywho....it would be a good way to get me to switch over to Vikings Journal from Vikings Update (scout).

Not sure why the "Alex Meyer called up" thread was merged with a 6 page thread about Tonkin being sent down, not sure people need to read through the first 5 pages of debate in order to comment/talk about Meyer being called up. I get wanting to keep a "clean" forum, but this is overkill, it's not like there were 8 threads about Meyer being called up.

Under my avatar it says: 1 warning points. That should read: 1 warning point plz fix Brock Or maybe you can just change to: 1 warning point(s) That way when I get one more it doesn't have to change and can be: 2 warning point(s)

I've grown accustomed to advertisements on web pages. Ads that take a while to load, only to move the content down right before you accidentally click on a completely different article or link. - Mildly annoying, but only because off unfortunate timing Websites that have a video associated with every story, that starts automatically (always with an ad, of course) - Annoying, but I can just pause the video and continue reading the webpage without interruption. But this latest type of Ad on Twins Daily has me highly annoyed It's a tiny little video on the right side of the screen that starts automatically (annoying, but I've gotten used to this type of thing). But…

Please

Over the past few days I have seen a lot of whining, tattle telling ("this guy said this about the coach and inferred this about me and its not nice") and a lot of ticky tack stuff (I'm sure the mods inboxes are getting filled up with even more of this stuff) Is it possible that everyone can just act like an adult and stop taking everything so personally when it comes to a word, description, thought or idea they don't agree with? I am sure the mods would appreciate it, and I know I certainly would. I'm not saying things need to be the wild west, but I think everyone should have just a tiny bit of thick skin and stop taking things so personally (in the 3+ negative vs pos…

Deleting a rally monkey thread? For shame Mods, for SHAME.

Some of you are having issues. After you type a post, the system is removing all spaces after punctuation, particularly periods. I'm trying to replicate this issue and I can't get it to happen in any browser. Here is what I've checked thus far: Firefox 35.0.1 Internet Explorer 11 Chrome 40.0 If you're having this issue, please give me an example and the exact version of the browser you're using when it happens.

I frequently embed Baseball Reference data tables into my blogs or other posts, but since the upgrade to Twins Daily I haven't found one that works well on the new site. My old tables now show as a giant wall of code (some of my old blogs are darn near unreadable thanks to this) and any new tables I add from Baseball Reference are wrapped or squished to the point that I may as well just draw a picture of duck on the post (as it would be about as helpful). I messed around with nearly every option B-ref had on one of my posts today (along with the editing options on here) and simply could not get a table to flood in correctly. I'm out of ideas (or I'm missing something ea…
