  1. Here ya go, hawing: Message doesn't post after preview
  2. I don't think the issue is previewing. But I had access and posting difficulty this morning. I could only stay logged in long enough to view one page in Firefox. I'm using Chrome right now. Other reports indicate that some boards on Brewerfan's server (cdb1) have had trouble. And there've been reports of members getting a variety of error messages.
  3. This could be server issues.
  4. Mark's pitch counts and innings totals are the overriding factors. It's hard to limit pitch counts and innings in the majors. To accomplish that, you'd probably have to start him out as a reliever. When the team would want him to start, he wouldn't be stretched out. As pointed out above, in the minors, the team can pitch him any way they want. Service time doesn't always need to be an overriding factor, but given everything else involved, it may as well come into play. Mark has approximately a month of time right now. A month plus 20 days in the minors would allow the team to keep him an extra year. While less important, super-two can also be considered. That would mean leaving him in the minors about three months. Of course, all this service time stuff assumes he stays up for good once he finally gets the call.
  5. Three years ago, when Kerry J. Byrne ranked his Top 10 NFL quarterbacks, he defined his criteria and stuck to them. While one might not agree with the criteria (e.g. using "intangibles"), he gave readers something to work with rather than leaving them wondering. I don't think it's too much to ask that criteria be clearly defined when issuing player grades. By the way, here's the LambeauLeap topic on these rankings: Starr listed as top QB in history.
  6. Lack of bunting, hit and runs, and stealing seems to have been one of everyone's main issues with Macha. Not at all. At least here at Brewerfan, I think those who've complained about those things are in the minority. The majority seem to be against using up outs. There have been complaints about not executing in bunt situations. But that's different. Just because a team doesn't bunt a lot doesn't absolve the players from knowing how to pull one off.
  7. Hi zookerman, and welcome to Brewerfan. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif You'll be pleased to see that we have a Trading Post forum where people can buy and sell. Members need to be logged in to see it. That protects it from search engines, scams, spammers, and all that neat stuff. You can peruse it right now. After a month of membership, posting rights in that forum will automatically be granted to you. In the meantime, it's certainly cool to discuss collectibles in a "non-buying" and "non-selling" sense here in Off Topic. As a matter of fact, there's a topic on caps going on right now.
  8. I've never run into that. What blows me away is just about at the opposite end of the spectrum: the number of people who take most of the third quarter to return to their seats after halftime. I guess casual fans abound anywhere you go.
  9. When a house is built, drywall dust needs to be cleaned up from the sub-floor before flooring or carpeting is laid.
  10. Well, it's not everyone. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  11. if you do a quick search, there's a Bucks thread that is active all season in the Off Topic Forum on bf.net. Milwaukee Bucks 2010/2011 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

  13. When you say that you know that the kid has "been here for a little while now," it would seem to me that you have a really good idea who he is. As far as the data on the iPod goes, I was thinking that there would be some way to kill that remotely, but I guess the caveat would be that it would need to be logged into a network.
  14. Oh, and the reason they tell you to unplug the router is to make sure it's not a problem with your cable box/cable hookup. That it actually IS the router itself. Process of elimination. Yeah, that definitely makes sense. It doesn't stop the situation from being annoying, though--especially if your only option is a desktop computer that isn't located near the router.
  15. Here's another one.
  16. When a Yuku board owner's community message wouldn't go through, this was posted by a staff member: What's the point of sending a message about birthdays if you can't say "birthday"?
  17. unless you are going to help pay your teammates wages for their suspension Teams have been known to pay players during their suspensions if they feel the league decision is wrong.
  18. RoCo, your images aren't showing. I think you're linking to private pages containing the images rather than the images themselves. My suggestion would be to go to the pages containing the pictures, right-clicking on the image, and choosing "Copy Image Location" (or your browser's equivalent). Use that link to post the images.
  19. BA is under contract through 2013, I believe.
  20. Uecker and Costas go way back, so I wouldn't find it odd to find either Bob poking fun at the other. Picture Uecker in the same booth as Howard Cosell. That happened way back when.
  21. I frequently run across intersections that I think scream for roundabouts. I also agree with Hofbraunhaus when he says that they aren't right for every intersection. There's an outcry about a couple of proposed roundabouts in my town. I tend to agree with those people. They'd be replacing traffic signals on the main north-south drag. What's cool about the current traffic signals is that they all have electric eyes. Traffic on the main drag only has to stop if east-west traffic is present. I think the roundabouts would be downgrades on those intersections. Another interesting case is the annoying intersections at Hwy 100 and Janesville Road and Forest Home Avenue in Hales Corners. I guess a roundabout is being proposed there. I don't think it'd be worse than the traffic signals, but I'm not sure it's the best solution either. My gut says that the Janesville Road - Forest Home intersection should be moved from east of Hwy 100 to west of Hwy 100. At that point, you'd only need one set of lights at Hwy 100 and Forest Home.
  22. Yeah. I know he tries, but I'm not big on Craig Coshun. Craig in the booth is like starting your utility infielder at his second or third best position. It's something you can do on occasion, but it's not something you want to do often.
  23. Your avatar is alive and well. And you've had it stored on Yuku going back to at least January, 2008. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Check this out: http://brewersfandemonium...ith-4-.html#reply-654559
  24. The avatar thing is a separate bug. It's been a problem in varying forms since the beta profiles were pushed in January. There's currently some CSS in place at Brewerfan/LambeauLeap to rein them in, but it has a few side effects that aren't desirable.
