gcurrier2004 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I dont know if it is possible, but when you do a search for somthing, some of the topics have 15+ pages, is it possible to have the word or words you search for go directly to the page?

five Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 You can always check "View As Posts". That would help some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikkrikk Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Definitely what would be great is a place where newbs could be pointed to exactly what to download or what they have to choose from. Also, I notice a lot of questions in the Support section go unanswered -- those need to be answered in some form. You guys are doing a great job.

Yea as I was stating before, the spam rule should be modified. Some questions are improtant and don't get answered. Kraw had a pretty good lenth. Seven days seems like a good time to post again in a thread if no one has replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never waited seven days to wait for a response for anything. You usually wait a half hour and you think that's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven days to me seems to be a long time to wait for a response for something you want to know about in here. Now what if there was a rule for this? How many people do you think will actually wait seven days? Not many I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smart88 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 #1 DUMB, "MVP MLB 2006" is not a self contained game, it is a TC (total conversion) mod for 2005. Anything released for "MVP MLB 2006" should also work for 2005 #2 7days, and when you bump it you should have to post more detail about the problem #3 What??? I do not get what you are saying #1 It could be a subsection, like the classics section of mvp baseball 2005 downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegz Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'd like back the FAQ because alot of people are asking for tutorials lately, including myself. I'd have to agree with NYM that we need that page scroll back to navigate through threads like the UR thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger147 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 While doing some research about old stadiums, this site came to my attention: http://www.nationalpastime.com/ I thought it was cool to see what occurred in baseball history on a certain date. I was wondering if it was feasible to add something like that to the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I say we should get rid of the "Post Confirmed" page ("Your message has been posted. Click here or here."). It really isn't necessary. -BBHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you just go straight back to the topic, then right there is a button with the forum name on it, or you can just stay there. It's the same number of mouse clicks/number of page loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eber Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 How about some kind of limitation before having the ability to start a new thread? Either some number of days registered and/or a certain number of posts before a new thread can be started? I've seen this used on some boards and it does help to cut down the clutter and to encourage the use of the search function and using exisiting on-topic threads.

SwinginSoriano Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 NYYfans.com does that... Anyway, how could newbs ask questions without making topics? Of course, the obvious problem is that many people don't use the search so it gets redundant, BUT, since there won't be another MVP game we as a community should encourage as many people to stay here as possible, not exclude them just because we may feel inconvenienced once in a while. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eber Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 They may easily feel discouraged. :? They may. Either way, there are drawbacks and advantages. I just think it would cut down on spam and cut down on threads with a frequently asked question followed by smart alec responses of "use the search function" which will then sometimes be taken negatively and bring about more ill responses from the original poster. I don't think it would be that much of a change from the existing dynamic of the board--just a very small, simple, and effective one. The restriction might not even be so strict--something like 5 posts or 5 days registered. Anyway, I'm just putting it out there for consideration...I don't even know if it's possible on here.

Good point man, I'm sure someone would rather have 3 days to find their answer rather than get hated from the getgo for asking a stupid question. I'm convinced now. Also, that dude who 'got Bama's IP address' also did some convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well, about the newbies asking questions. I know a lot of times, people tell them to use the search function, but other times, people do answer their questions. I know with that guy who 'took my IP address' i told him to search the forums, but, I answered his questions right underneath. I really don't think its my fault that he decided to not pay attention to the fact that I did answer his question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
