    First I really think the site is coming along and turning into a top quality fan site. It has taken some time but it is getting there.

    Just a couple things that I think could make it better. I think that people should have a way to EDIT things they may have posted whether it be to the messageboards or comments on peoples fan pages or photos. Most any other messageboard has this feature, so that when you are logged in you can go back to your posts and you will have an edit option. I myself always find spelling errors or silly things I wish I could go fix but can't. Guess that is what happens when you do "drunk" posting though!!! LOL (just kidding...kinda)

    Also, I have high speed internet and this has to be one of the slowest sites that I browse daily. Maybe it because it is "flash content" heavy but it still shouldn't be as slow as it is??? Maybe a look into the server...I don't know, but it gets frustrating. I always get errors when doing simple things like uploading pictures or changing my scrapbook around.

    Lastly...the game page that streams the play by play and the live chat. Why does that page have to keep refreshing??? It should like in the old days since the flash content can recieve and display information in real time so I don't understand that. It gets very frustrating for those of us who like to use the game day chat and right in the middle of a good conversation or in the middle of typing something the page goes blank to refresh. Then we have to re-enter the chat and re-enter our username. There must be a way to stop this. If the play-by-play part is the reason for the page refreshing then why not make that page in a seamless frame so the chat part displays seperatly and would not refresh with the play-by-play content? Just a thought...

    Ok...I am done for today :-)

    peace out,

    These are great suggestions! Thanks Daddy.

    I think being able to edit your stuff would be cool. We'll have the developers look into that. At least for the messageboards you would think it would be easy.

    We've been trying to figure out page load as well. We do have a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. I'm not sure how much is the flash content rendering and how much is the backend database calls. But apologize for the slowness and this is something that is really important for us.

    Makes sense about the games page. One reason this was put into place was an issue with the NBA feed. It was getting stuck (on all the team websites). This was one way we could get it to work, however it is at a cost... we'll look at ways so it wouldn't effect the game chat.

    Once again, thanks for the input!

    although I do think that eraser head haircut is a little rediculous and outdated but none the less kid could either be huge or a complete bust and at this point if we had that number 1 pick I wouldn''t pass on him then I''d go out and get someone ...

    Rip a cap hold is a number given to free agents. Basically the cap hold is added to the teams salaries at the start of free agency. So for example a team has 10 million in cap space but has 15 million in cap holds they are technically over the sal...

    Noel was playing at around 220 so I doubt the added weight will slow him down too much the guy just needs to continue his rehab and hit the weight room and he will be fine.
