The Suggestion Box

wow! I guess I'm the only one with a vote cast. So there you have it, 100% the space is NOT too small! 8)

OK, I've made the page much wider so hopefully that helps. Please vote though, so I know if further fine tuning is needed.

I'm not sure what you changed, but it does look a lot "better" now. That said, another thing that stretches the page out is the automatic quoting of everything. If only the latest part is quoted (i.e. in the quote above, Cronenbergfan's post which is quoted in your reply would not be repeated when I quote your post in my reply).

Can the "ticker" run horizontally, in a row across the top? That would save some East/West rea-estate.

I don't think so. That would be something Cronman's friend would need to investigate. Since this is forum hosted by someone else it has some limitations. The future plans are to have our own web site but it will take time to develop and I want to be sure it's viable before investing in such a venture.

If you guys need help with the aesthetic of the website, I might be able to help a bit with that. I have a decent knowledge of coding so I might be able to make the site look a little crisper if you'd like.

I think we should also find a link for streaming Sens games. I know there are lots of fans overseas who might be interested in such a thing, or perhaps figure out how to stream it ourselves so that other people can watch.

Also keeping in mind the foreign/out of town fans, posting a link to TheTeam1200's 'listen live' feature so you can catch the Sens game, and Sens talk radio when it's available. Hey, maybe the radio station will even throw you a bone for doing it :bounce: .

I don't know what significance that emoticon has, but I love it.

It'd be cool to have a "Game Day Media" part of this site (this may be moreso a feature of the bigger, money costing, site) that streamed the video, had the option to tune in to The Team's broadcast, AND have a chat forum below the streaming video.

Wow.

Wow is right! I apologize for tooting or plugging my own post, but as I mentioned in the Blog, we here at GM Central dream and think big, and we plan on delivering!!
There will be many big announcements and updates coming boys! Believe me when I say these are very interesting and exciting times!!

I was actually thinking last night that we should find a way to do that but for ALL games. I was wondering about SopCast or something. Having a channel for each team.

I appreciate the offer. I will keep that in mind. Do you mind if I PM you once in a while to pick your brain? The problem with this site is it isn't ours so there's limitations on what code they'll allow us to play with.

I will absolutely take you up on your offer when we start design of our own site.

Absolutely. I've already been looking at ways to stream games, and I believe a Sling Box coupled with a video editing/streaming program and one computer could probably stream 3 or 4 games a night.
Also, love the idea of a Media stream from the Team 1200.

It's gotten awfully narrow again. I wonder if it's time to reduce the allowable avatar size.

Thank you. Much better (although without seeing it side-by-side with the old I really don't know what changed).

Question:
Is it possible to (by default) only quote the latest text (i.e. if Adam posts something, then Ben replies, quoting Adam's text, and Chuck replies to Ben's post, you won't see a third copy of Adam's original post).

Question 2:
How's that puck-drop countdown timer coming along?

Question 3:
How does the Calendar work? When I click on it, all I see is a blank calendar (except my birth-date is a link, but leads to pretty much nothing). Is the Calendar unique for each user? Or can only admins add events? Or is it meant for something else?
