Net54baseball board question and answer....

[smokelessjoe]

Hi Leon,

Thank you for always being so consistent in regards to Net54... Even years ago with the "old Net54" you were always quite steady. Its a great attribute to have when dealing with large groups. Thank you,

I do like rainier2004s idea about the Icons at the bottom of the page. I have often thought about this over the years & thought it would be quite handy. Leon, you do have the "top" tab at the Very bottom of the page - is it feasible to move it just underneath the last post - say directly across from the "post reply" tab and under the "quote" tab? In other words, the opposite corner of the "post reply" tab? Logistics of web pages & forums is way over my head - so I am with you if it is a big hassle - then probably not worth it.

Shawn,

Hey Shawn
Thanks for the kind words. I try to be fair and consistent. I believe being consistently good over the long haul, instead of super great for a short period of time, is one of the keys to success in life. I will have Brian, our main techy person, take a look at what you are asking. I think a big change to moving all of the icons below, might be a complicated situation but will see about the re-positioning of tabs at bottom. I will report back on it soon. Thanks for the feedback...LL

Just to clarify, I AM LAZY AS HELL AND WOULD LIKE THE ICONS ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!...sorry to yell.

Also, I really hope Leon that you are recognized as providing as safe as an environment as possible on the b/s/t. You have personally stopped 2 transactions and alerted me to past behavior that has saved me $$$ and getting all pissed off. I agree the b/s/t is the safest place I know of to transact. I refuse to put large item tickets on ebay and reserve them for here...and guess what, they sell w/o a hitch. I have a guess that being Sheriff causes many headaches, but I have had several memebrs comment to my face what a nice job you do there...if I get to TX Im buying you a drink! Oh yeah, I AM LAZY AS HELL AND WOULD LOVE AN UNLIMITED # OF PM'S! - Enjoy the weekend all and Go State!

Leon, you mention jpgs seem to work best. I've always uploaded from PhotoBucket, and the last couple of times I've tried using a .jpg, when I hit preview, the cards are almost inversed (red is now green, blue is orange, etc.). But if I save as a .gif in Photoshop, send to PhotoBucket, then download a .gif, they come out right. Is it just me, or is there a better way to upload photos rather than using a service like PhotoBucket?

And thanks for being a great moderator, Leon.

I've really enjoyed my time on the forum, thanks Leon. Since feedback was brought up, how about if there was a Feedback thread created (and made a Sticky) where everyone just posted a topic that was simply their username then other members can post in it when they've had a good transaction with that person? Not sure what your thoughts are if someone wanted to post neutral or negative feedback though...

First of all you are welcome and it's my pleasure to help run the board. For most scans I just have them in "my documents" on my hard drive and upload them while in a post. For others, which I want to be larger than is accepted in our board s/w, I host them on my own site and then cut and paste the url into the yellow box (above the posting box) that says "insert image". I use those 2 methods close to 100% of the time. I have no idea about your inversed color issue. It hasn't happened to me nor do I think I have heard of that before. I have to think it's something you are doing or maybe it has to do with uploading .gifs instead of .jpgs. I only use .jpgs and they have always worked well.

As for a feedback thread I don't think I want to go there. Except for bringing it up in this thread it really doesn't seem, to me, to be an issue. Each thing like that requires even more moderating and for now I just don't think the Shi* to Equity ratio is there. Like I said above there is quite a bit of info on everyone if you just click on their user id as well as see how long they have been on the board and how many posts they have done. I do get a fair amount of reference requests and I would say that 75% or more of the times we are able to be very sure. With the BST being a closed area, with only registered members on it, the safety is sort of built in. Now, as happened to Quan, if there is someone getting out of the hobby or there is some other extraordinary situation, I don't think feedback would even help that. The guy that did that to Quan was fairly well known. (If I recall correctly) If someone wants to scam someone then I doubt a feedback system is going to necessarily help.

Understood and makes sense. Thanks, Leon.
