Loads fast. Slick, modern presentation. Well done, admins!

Clicking on the header or the 'HOME' button confirms the nonexistence of the mythical front page.

You guys did one hell of a job, the new layout looks fantastic.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #5 on:** April 06, 2015, 08:28:10 am »

Where and how will series previews be done? I'm still willing to take a regular turn in doing series previews if that is desirable.

Well, some things are still under construction. The front page is still there, just not connected to the forums at the moment. But we're working on things. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Yeah, I ran out of time (and consciousness) last night. Big changes are coming to the front page though, hopefully within the next week. Will also be making further improvements to the forum to automatically tie in content from the front page (recaps, previews, any editorials that may happen) as well as scores and standings.

Also, if anyone finds any boxes or links in the forum that are a teal color, let me know where you found them and I'll fix it.

Looking good. The color palate is just right.

There's a front page?

Looks great. No teal. Teal?

Seconded. If there's any interest in "passing the hat", would love to contribute.

Thanks guys. Lurkers appreciate what you do too.

Great suggestion. I'd pony up.

If there's a way to put a donation button on the site, I'd make a donation too. I'm among the lurkers who really appreciates the work everyone puts in too, and I'd be willing to help offer support if it is needed.

I don't think any Admin wants to respond to this very much appreciated gesture and show of support for (I guess) fear it may be taken the wrong way, but the powers that be discussed this ad nausea when we first began. It was decided that it would be better not to accept donations for various reasons. However, if you guys are serious, there is nothing to stop you from collecting funds and donating it to charity (maybe the Women's Shelter that the Astros support through their "Community In Action" program). You can certainly say something like "A collection donated by the freaks who frequent the OWA! (or go ahead and use "Orangewhoopass.com").

thanks again for supporting David and all his outstanding work! Much appreciated!

Question: Is it still SnS or are we back to OWA?

We are "officially" OWA, and have been for a few years now. But we still own the SnS name (that's both "spikesnstars" and "starsnspikes") as well as bloodnmud and a few other domain names. They should all point to this site, so feel free to use whichever you wish in your browser. We celebrate diversity.

And thanks for this. We appreciate everyone's support and implied generosity, and we know you guys would give your left nut to keep this place running. Luckily, it hasn't come to that, but if it does, y'all's nuts will be the first thing we think of.

Look to Foghorn first. Remember, one of his nuts is magic. I'm not sure if it's the left one though.

I loved JR, but I can't really see taking him over Cedeno.

On this page the circles in front of "New Posts" and "Redirect Posts" are still teal (as are a few other items on that page).

Are things a bit unstable? I keep getting logged off.

Should I take that personally?

The new color scheme is great.

Curious, with which browser? I have that problem on my phone using safari, but on my laptop using chrome or FF I have no issues.

subnuclear · « **Reply #33 on:** April 30, 2015, 09:05:13 am »

I use Chrome on my desktop at work and at home.

NeilT · « **Reply #34 on:** April 30, 2015, 09:12:32 am »

I guess Safari at home.
