First, welcome to the board. Secondly, let's not rant and whine because that goes against the type of post we like to see over here. Any objective Torres discussion is welcome, of course.

Donation time
1992casey replied to Brian the Automator's topic in Brewer Fanatic Issues & Suggestions
I'll defer to Brian for definite numbers, but we're thinking more in terms of a "goal" than a "total needed." That's because we're now on a prepaid system where we buy ad-free page views in advance (much like a prepaid phone card). Discounts are based on payment size: as lump sums paid to Yuku increase, the size of the discount also increases. On ezBoard, Brian would be sent a bill that had to be paid. If we were falling short in donations, there'd be a problem in meeting the obligation. In this case, Brian and I were each able a small payment to Yuku to hold us over while personal checks came in. On the day Brewerfan's Gold ran out, Brian's computer took a dump, so I made my "board donation" by paying directly to Yuku; Brian added a cushion a couple of days later. We wouldn't have had the option of making "holdover" payments on ezBoard. (By the way, LambeauLeap has cost so little that we've been running it entirely on "holdover" payments.) On ezBoard, donation overages would also be an issue. They'd sit in the Commmunity Chest until the next bill came. With Yuku, we can pay as much as we have or as much as we want and have credit applied immediately. The decision to sit on funds would be Brian's, not Yuku's. The only reason for holding them would be to pool donations for a bigger discount Basically, the bottom line is the more Brewerfan gets, the bigger the discount we get on page views. And more page views will take us further into the future without having to ask for money again. -

9/18/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Harden): 1:20 PM CDT

RobertR, it's scotch, but since beer is what's in the house, beer is what it's going to be. -
This appears to be working properly now.

I haven't noticed this yet at Brewerfan or LambeauLeap, but as of September 8, Photobucket stopped redirecting improper links to pictures stored on its site. If you're using an incorrect link in your post, you'll see this image: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/oops2.jpg Improper linking wouldn't apply simply to Yuku; it applies anywhere you might want to post a Photobucket picture. The upshot is that you should not click on a thumbnail and grab the link from the URL bar. Use one of the links provided below the thumbnail; those will work. Here's a sample thumbnail with the links below it: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/photobucket_thumbnail.png My personal preference is to copy the "Direct Link" and use the "ADD FROM URL" button in the Yuku post editor. This offers the ability to actually see your photo in the post editor itself. Copying the "IMG Code" and inserting it directly into your post works, too. However, you'll have to hit the Preview button to see how the photo looks in your post. This thread in Photobucket's Forums is a painful read, but it does offer information buried among the whines: Oops! Your image was linked incorrectly, please visit your account ... Note, too, that members can also to link their Yuku account to a Photobucket account. Doing that offers easy access to your pictures directly from the post editor. (That ability was busted earlier today, but it now appears to be fixed.) (edit to reflect change in status of Yuku-Photobucket account linking bug --1992)

It seems that a bug has been affecting the sending of PMs for the past 12 hours or so. When one tries to send, the browser reports "Waiting for whomever.whatever.yuku.com" without taking the user to the recipient's profile as feedback that the PM has sent. It's likely that the PM has actually been sent, even though Yuku isn't "saying" it is. I sent the same message to a member eight times last night. The workaround is to check your Sent box to see if the message has gone out. Check the Sent box in a separate tab or window to ensure that you don't lose the content of your message. Yuku is aware of this issue.

Try this: Taking a screen shot. If you're successful with the screen capture, but need help with the avatar itself, let us know.

This topic is being discussed on LambeauLeap, beginning here. If you're not yet a member, you can submit this application. You don't need to compose a fancy message. Unlike Brewerfan, LambeauLeap approval is a "rubber stamp" process 99% of the time, and applications are processed very quickly.

Why does ________(insert coach) still keep batting Kendall in the 8th and the 9th? The coaches have input, but the manager ultimately makes that decision.

Technically, he'd be looking for someone to relay rather than cut off. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

valpo, you had a lot better luck than I was having. The thing appears to be interlaced, so I don't think perfection is likely to happen. Here are some 100 x 100 px reductions/crops: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/hawing1.png http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/hawing2.png http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/hawing3.png If anyone can do better with the screen capture, have at it. Or, hawing, if you want me to try something else, let me know. Reducing the original to different sizes is easy.

I tried to do the screen capture. That would have been easy enough, but I couldn't get the TV thing to sit still in the right place. http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/c8935733514242385b3248c1035cdb1587936d6.gif

No current designated thread, so I made a new one. It's now officially designated. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Diskono, which stat did you use to rank those players? SDOwen28, please try to avoid statements like "are you kidding." They get into the area of attacking the messenger rather than addressing the message. Thanks.

It isn't that the choice to play Durham is bad. As has been pointed out, it's basically a horse apiece. The public reasoning behind the decision sucks, though. If it's an indicator of how Sveum might make future decisions, then there's cause for concern. Of course, given his short tenure, we can also offer the benefit of the doubt and hope that he simply didn't get into detail. It's certainly appropriate for the press to question Dale's explanation. It doesn't necessarily need to happen face to face, but it could have made for good discussion between commentators on the game broadcasts.

Direct Audio Link: Yost Press Conference

Note the Brewerfan usage spike on the day of the Yost firing. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Today is still low because the graphic was captured at 9:51 AM. My guess is that Yuku's day begins at 3 AM CDT. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/casey1992/boardpics/bfnet/916brewerfanuse.png

Just to note that I'm about to go back and clean up a couple long quoted messages that have appeared in the past 15 posts.
-
News flash, you can be educated and intelligent and still be an idiot (or more accurately act like an idiot) like a lot of people on this very site do. Let me spell it out for you.... but you sound like an "idiot" When directed toward a member, "News flash," and "Let me spell it out for you" cross the condescension line. "but you sound like an idiot" far surpasses that line. Please stick to addressing the message rather than attacking the messenger.
-
Locking up in favor of the big thread.
-
Let's make sure to follow the quote guidelines. The same (relatively long) message has been fully quoted three times over the past few posts.

Moved to today's non-Brewer IGT.
