When you run into this, are there generally a few new posts in the topic, or are there lot of new posts? Or doesn't it seem to make a difference? I'm trying to reproduce this, and I haven't had much luck so far. I've been using member-level profiles at 20 and 30 posts per page.

I wasn't fond of Dale as the 3B coach in Milwaukee, either. But I've been fine with him as a hitting coach, infield coach, and bench coach.

As most of you know, Brewerfan has recommended against clicking on the gift box in the navigation bar to convert your Yuku profiles. That recommendation still stands for these reasons: The private message interface is poor and lacks basic features present in the current interface. Staff has said that issues with the PM interface will be addressed, but few specifics have been given.There have been various bugs affecting some conversions, especially with images stored in one's albums. Staff needs to intervene to manually fix these issues, and in some cases, manual fixes have been elusive.The "bitchslap" feature is still present. Staff previously told us that this feature would be removed, but they've recently backtracked on that. Given that we don't want that term used on the board, it makes sense that we don't want to see it in Yuku's interface. Think of it this way. If your church wanted to start a message board, this feature would automatically exclude Yuku.At this point, staff is now using the term "soon" to describe when mandatory conversions will start to occur. They're not telling us when "soon" is, but they're still saying that we'll be given some kind of notice in advance. Also, Yuku has started converting profiles that they deem as inactive. Unfortunately, there was no notice before this started. I don't know how "inactive" is defined, but I'd hope that logging in and browsing the board would be enough to prevent that. New members who've created their profiles on or after May 12, 2010, have converted profiles. Links to instructions for dealing with signatures and avatars have been included in the Usability FAQ. If you have a question on other aspects of these profiles, feel free to post here in Issues, either in this topic or in a new one.

I'm no expert, but think about how many systems back in the days of CRT that had either: a CRT monitor built into the computer itself a CRT monitor plopped on top of the CPUDon't go by my opinion alone, but my gut says you're OK.

I'll make sure that a topic (either this one or another) will be featured on the main page. The title will make it clear that we need votes.

It happens in long topics with hidden posts. It affects members at different times than mods/admins, but we're all affected. Depending on your posts per page setting, it'll kick in at different times. Changing your posts per page setting won't help. All that will do is change when the bug rears its ugly head. Another thing that happens at times is that when clicking on the last page number next to the topic title, the reader is taken to the second last page of the topic. Also, very occasionally, when members link directly to a post, the link won't link. If you see either of those two things happening, I'd appreciate reports on those, too. The last annoying aspect of this bug is that when hidden posts are present, mods/admins see different reply numbers than members. I'm afraid that's by design. That's easy to identify, so I don't need reports on that. Where this is going to get tricky is that we have to come up with "steps to reproduce" for the developers to address this. That's might be hard. I think I'm going to have to create some test threads, posting under two or three different usernames with different access levels (member vs. mod/admin).

Thanks. That helps a lot. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Logan, are you at the default 20 posts per page?

Thanks areacodes. For anyone else, don't be afraid to post a link just because someone else has posted a particular thread already. Nothing duplicates in this case. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm going to try reporting this again. Bugs are now getting attention based on votes. I'm sure that we can get plenty of them. When you run into this bug, it would help a lot if you could come back to this topic and tell us: The URL you used.The number of posts posts per page you're viewing.Whether you landed on a blank page or something else that was unexpected.Something identifying the last post in the topic (once you find it). This could be the time and date plus the member's name (including your time zone), or a quote, or whatever. Don't rely on the reply number in this case. Reply numbers are part of the problem. As topics are reported, I'll make copies of them for testing purposes. Once we have a few examples, I'll re-report the bug and ask members to vote for it to be addressed.

Harvey Kuenn was hired for the 1983 season after taking the Brewers to the World Series as an interim manager.

I received a PM saying that messages can be restored upon individual request. I don't know why that wasn't announced publicly, though. There are a lot of people who'd be interested in knowing that.

Mac OS 10.7 will be named Lion.

I'm displeased that the topic for which we've voted has now been hidden. I sure hope that doesn't mean that Yuku has decided not to address the issue--after KickApps' chief technology officer said it would be addressed. I've sent an inquiry via PM.

If anyone wants to lend us a child for part of a Friday or Saturday night game, I'll split the gift card proceeds with you. Could you bring Nate and Sean? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I know people that work really hard at "contesting." They won a car once, but that involved traveling to the mall daily, submitting hundreds of tickets, and picking up hundreds more to bring back the following day. They did this every day for a couple of weeks.

I think there's a way to adjust that, but danged if I know what it is. I know how to get the best settings for a 16:9 screen, but I don't know what's optimum for 4:3. Having to adjust aspect ratios on 4:3 screens is something that came along with the digital conversion.

Exactly. That's part of the bug I was describing. Another lesser known aspect of the bug is that very occasionally, when you link directly to a post, the link won't link. I don't recall offhand where it ends up going instead of where it should. That's only happened to me once or twice, and I don't recall anyone reporting that it's happened here.

Thanks for your support. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Since I'm one of the people who lost private messages, I'll let you know how this turns out. In a few days, I'll post something about the wonky reply numbers, landing on the wrong pages in topics, etc., and ask once again for your votes. That's the number one complaint among our membership.

This should be fixed now.

Oops. Vote in the "lost private messages" [removed dead link] topic at Support. I'll changed "mentioned in Issues" to point to the topic in Issues. Thanks to those who've voted so far. While it looks as if you need to have a post at Support for your vote to display in the voters' list, your vote definitely counts toward the total. Currently, this topic has the second most votes in the forum.

Moved to Issues: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=23594

Hey all, could you take a minute to vote for this topic: •• lost private messages •• [removed dead link] It'd be much appreciated. All you have to do is follow the link and click on the votes icon at the top of the thread. http://images.yuku.com/image/png/ff525a259a43f5e24160f56164f825e8989012e.png As I mentioned in Issues, Yuku is now choosing which bugs to handle based on how many votes they get.

I've just had exactly the same issue occur. Oddly, board administrators and moderators are supposed to be exempt from the (obnoxious) spam control. I'll have to report that. By the way, if we were given a choice, we'd turn off the (obnoxious) spam control entirely. Brewerfan has had exactly one spammer make it to the posting stage in the three years we've been on Yuku, and that was due to an administrative brain fart on our part.

There must be existing topics for discussing Wolf, Suppan, and Melvin's past free agent pitcher signings. I know we've done Wolf just recently. Let's stick to the Lilly signing and its implications.

The preview bug has to do with Yuku's (obnoxious) new spam "feature". It'll be looked into tomorrow. From Yuku staff...
