I don't do Facebook and won't be forced to just to post to a site that I have posted to for so many years. KUSports.com infuriated me with the stupid questions just to freaking read the article and then this Facebook sign in. I will check here and hope others do.
I've read so many great posts by KU fans over the years. My world really wouldn't be the same without that constant dialogue. Happy to help enable it!
Yes, thank you! Hopefully we can get more kusports posters to move over.
Absolutely, I feel the same way. Stupid decision by the upper management of the LJW. No doubt influenced by money or some other sort of perceived benefit. Its totally degrading the value of our favorite place for KU BBall.
Agree 100%. I don't care about the whole anonymity thing as much as being forced to use FB, which I don't and won't use. (It's blocked at work anyway, which is when I did the majority of my reading and posting - sorry, boss). I've still been reading the KUsports.blah blah blah site, and with all due respect to my fellow great KU fans, it's just kind of boring now. Anway - approxinfinity, thank you for setting this up.
No problem, my pleasure, it's good to see you guys!
Kudos to you for taking the time to set this up. Awesome work, man.
Glad to be aboard. I once had a FB account but shut it down months ago. Never post where I'm required to allow access to my personal info. Now I'm looking forward to all the old posters to get on board so we can get things back to normal. RCJH.
Ditto on setting -up this site. I was beginning to feel lost in the cyber-wilderness
Thanks! Love the sight!
Will be able to load avatars? Soon???
I like how you can make italics. Thanks again!
will we...
(wouldn't mind being able to edit cuz I'm a grammar snob)
Note: all suggestions, no criticism ... spellcheck works :-)
JayDogger, since I'm dumb AND lazy, could you please tell me how to do the italics thing? And possibly bold type, if that's an option. Thank you!
'leaf, put *on each side of the word/s you want to italicize.
Also, you can edit/delete a post by clicking on those dark grey boxes to the right of your own post.
Well, I thought you could edit/delete your own post but it's not working. Still beta testing obviously.
By the Duke game I bet this sight will be rockin'!
JayDogger - Thank You very much!!
No prob.
...trying to figure out bold...
Hope to resolve that tonight if possible!
approx, try to make the comment replies directly under the comment instead of at the bottom (if it's not too much trouble). :-)
Love the sight!
testing...is this in bold?
...if you put this: on each side of what you want in bold it will be bold. I think there is an easier way, though. It's an html coder thing.
testing... underline
testing underline not underlined
Really thrilled to find this. Thanks so much. As we've all said many times, LJW made a big mistake, after many recent mistakes. The arrogance that we would bow to their demands and completely ignore the obvious decimation and dissolution of their site's best features, and not reconsider their ridiculous decision-making, has caused the final nail in the coffin. Again, thanks! Now, let the games begin!
@jaydogger I see what you mean... This might be a good candidate to request on the nodebb issues page ↗. If I have the bandwidth I may try to tackle this at some point, but its lower priority than other things for me at the moment, although I totally agree it would be way better to be nested more than 1 layer deep.
They do have a feature where you can address people by using @ and their username in your post (like I did here -- worth noting, it didnt like it when I used anything but lowercase.. yech). This way, you can target the person higher in the comment thread that you're addressing.. it's something...
Anyway, I will get involved in their code base at some point soon, but first priority for me is to get the configuration right.
Agreed, the powers that be at the LJW seem to be trying hard to kill kusports. I have been a long time reader of their articles and message boards, but was never able to set up an account for some reason, and I'm not a facebook guy. None of those problems here, thanks approxinfinity.
Yep. Thanks for setting this up!
Thanks again for the hard work! (testing what you suggested)
@jaydogger lookin good JD, thanks!
Thanks for providing a forum for KU sports fans. Hard to believe how much of a bone headed decision the LJW made.
At one time or another, we have all posted our location and together with the complete name, it becomes a safety issue, as anyone with minimum Google knowledge can locate you with this information.
On a separate note, I tried updating my avatar with no luck. I locate the JPG, load it and save it and after I exit, it only shows a small "x" in a box. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a preferred graphics format and/or size limits or waiting period?
Thanks in advance for your help.
@jayhawkfantoo yep, I've been testing on another server I got today and think I know the exact steps to rectify the problem now (have it working perfectly on the test server), just waiting for a good time to do it when people wont mind getting punted.
I like it! Better than the LJW already.
The LJW cooked the goose that laid the golden egg. It's great to see people have a place to talk about sports and KU without giving in to the new overly-demanding LJW posting policy. Good for all of you!
Thanks for setting this up. I really appreciate the effort...I was going through jayhawk info withdrawl. I don't comment all that much but love to read. I also check into Jayhawk lounge and will watch both for the time being.
Yep, I'm looking for jaybate too, but must admit there are times I have to scroll past--no malice.
@approxinfinity Test to see where this reply will show up--hope it is under your original comment.
edit Nope
Good Job Approxinfinity. Thanks for the Site!
