Questions About The Site

Lately it seems I have been getting severe formatting issues when I go into threads. What people type are showing at the bottom of their post with a bunch of empty box at the top. Sometimes it throws the sizes out of whack too and makes the boxes huge and empty. Whatever it is, it hasn't done it before until the past few days.

Just wondering if there is any area within the forums to find partners to share season ticket packages? I've used the tools through the Twins tickets page, but thought there might be interest within the comrades here at Twins Daily. Ü

Yesterday afternoon I jumped onto TD from my phone, and had a message pop up on my Galaxy S4 that I may have a virus (or something). The message didn't really have the appearance of being legit, but it popped up nonetheless. I visited several other sites with no issue, and revisited TD to get the same message. It's a work phone - I don't go to any shady sites on it. Has anyone else had this issue? What gives?

Not sure everyone gets this ad.....but there is an ad that is for a game (I think) that basically scrolls through bikini pictures. Are you trying to keep me from coming here while at work?

I seem to use my tablet and phone more these days for useless internet stuff and my CPU for "work". That being said, are there any plans, thoughts, inclinations to create a Twins Daily app? Or has one been made already and I just don't know about it?

I am constantly being logged out of TD, whether its after taking 10-15 min to respond to a post or create a new one. My browser flips it back & forth to compatibility mode now & then & that seems to cause issues I can see with logging me out. However even if I'm logged in and then open a thread in a new tab Im not logged in on that tab but am from the other. Ive never seen a website behave this way. Anyways love the site & this is just a small gripe. Keep up the good work!

Many have commented all over TD about the missing LIKE button but I have seen no explanation of why it is gone... Where did it go, can you bring it back, can a dislike button be added (mostly sarcasm but once in a LONG while some people deserve no more response than 20 dislikes) I think many of us would like at least an explanation if it is gone forever. thank you for listening to my complaint.

At some point today (starting with AJ Pettersen's) articles with current responses are not included in the "forums" discussion list on the right hand side. They do appear in the "Recent Articles" discussion list that, alas, is not included in the home page. Could be by design, but it is a PITA to track responses to articles this way...

At some point today, I lost the forum navigation device that was at the bottom of each page. Is that due to something I did, or a change to site software?

Is this a bug?

I've seen a few pics of these "Grand Drunk Railroad" shirts and I want one. I live in Pennsylvania so it's hard for me to get to these twins events, is there a place I can order one? Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm very sorry about the redirections to the spam site this morning. We got hacked. We were back up about 10 AM. Sincerely, John

I finally picked up a new copy of Win7 and installed IE10 for testing purposes. Yet again, it appears that Microsoft has released a browser that breaks designs that work in every other browser, including IE9. Le sigh. Anyway, if you see IE10 bugs, list 'em here and I'll start to plow through them.

I'm trying to find it and I just can't. I remember it was glunn who started it and it had a poll included too. I think it would be interesting to revisit since the season is coming to a close.

I use RSS to watch the articles section of Twins Daily using this RSS feed: Twins Daily. One thing that I often find myself doing when reading the articles is looking for the author. Unlike most of my things I follow using RSS, Twins Daily is rather editorial, so when an author uses first person (I, my) I often glance up at the title to figure out who is talking. This doesn't appear. I was hoping this might be an option that could be added. Sometimes the articles do not show up correctly in Feedly and they didn't in Google Reader before its untimely death. An example would be the article titled "Arcia Powers up Offense" from 3 days ago. When I click on it in F…

Can we please stop these rollover ads? I find them to be incredibly troublesome. They expand to block half the screen and are quite noisy. I just want to browse this site in peace without being ambushed by some woman yelling at me about Toyotas. I drive one already, anyway.

Brock, while browsing with my phone I run into a little annoying problem. Usually it happens when a topic is a rather long one, and I'm on say page 4 of 6. Also, more often than not it happens if I go to my home page and come back to it later. The problem is the navigation isn't working. If I try to go back to the Minnesota Twins forum it just simply reloads the page I am on. I push it the forum navigation tab, and before I can even select "forum" "twins daily" or "minnesota twins" it just reloads. It does this several times before I can actually get out of it. Now, if the thread is only a few pages I can just go back, but if it is 15 like the joe benson thread, I'm not g…

That ad covers up the top 2-3 parts of the site right below it.....not sure there is anything you can do about it....

I wanted to post in a new thread. When I hit 'enter' to start a new line, the curser stays put. Even hitting the space bar until it comes to the end of the line causes problems. Anybody else having this issue?

Brock, did you change something? All the articles now come (web browser, at work) with a blue background and black font.....very hard on the old eyes.....

Is anyone else getting unwanted popups from LifeLock, anytime their ads randomly come up on TD? Unlike earlier annoyances from ads, on this one they happen right away, so it's not even a case of my running my mouse over the ad by random luck. Really bad.

Twins Daily was literally flooded with server requests as the Twins prepared for their 6:30pm first round pick last night. We apologize for the server going down (it appears that it went down for only some of us) but appreciate that so many of you view us as THE Twins news resource, particularly when it comes to minor league and draft news. I'm in talks with the hosting company to see what we can do to prevent this from happening again when the trade deadline approaches. Given that we shouldn't see a bum's rush of traffic at EXACTLY the same moment today due to the drawn-out nature of the later draft picks, the server should support the traffic just fine, even if the ov…

Am I the only one that feel these are getting a bit ridiculous? If they get posted into the TD Blog section, that is one thing, but I am getting tired of Lord knows how many people posting their outside material to get hits on the Twins thread. I openly questioned one a few weeks ago and got the answer back that they were approved from the higher ups that run the site, which I guess is fine, but I feel like every other thread I click on is someone promoting their article that is coming from somewhere else. /rant.

I would suggest that this site really try to correct incorrect spellings of the names of players in the Twins organization. It's absurd seeing "Arica" and "Worly" right now.

Am I the only one that has almost no luck whatsoever with the search function? For instance, I can search for myself using the simple phrase "2015" (A number which I know I said during offseason discussions) and I get no results. No matter how vague I make my advanced search, I can't pin down old posts. Am I just incompetent at this or are others having this problem too?

I'm wondering if anyone is still having problems seeing the comments in the front page articles. Earlier, we were having a problem where each article was only showing a fraction of their comments (for example, it would say there are 43 comments in an article but some users would only see 3). Please let me know if this is still an issue. Thanks.

It would be great if articles would link player names to their BB-Ref pages, something like they do at MLB Trade Rumors: Automatic Player Linker - Baseball-Reference.com Would come in real handy for the minor-league write-ups! I know a lot of them (Seth) put player names in boldface anyway, so perhaps it could be done without any extra work for the author, just clicking a different button.

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how the mobile skin handles resolution. If you use TD on an Android tablet or phone, which skin is/was the default for you? The mobile skin (light blue, very simple) or the full skin (red and blue, much more complex)? If you could tell me the skin that you see by default (not the one you switched to by choice) and what device you're using, that'd be keen. Thanks.

Please bring back the old ones Rocketpig
