Props On The Workings Of The New Lakersball.com !!

I'm dropping this into Lakers Discussion because that's the most important thing here. Which from my limited full exploration of capabilities already am impressed with the site for being a great place to enjoy it! Wow Barns..... nice job! Thank you. Am sure I will come back with more but for now ...... (where are 3 of my yellow guys saying, "Yeah! with V signs in the air" )

1. Speed .......What an upgrade! Hopefully when Lakersball has thousands more members the speed will not be affected. But wow it's instantaneous.

2. The Looks ...... Without even paying attention and trying to analyze it yet, first doing some posting, I all of a sudden realize it looks GOOD. Comfortable already. Nice aesthetics!

3. The Alert drop down in upper right is nice. I did a double take at first with one of the alerts saying (a member's name) had replied to one of the threads. And then Siri like said, "there may be more posts after this" I like it.

4. Speed

5. Speed ...... (Where's my real laughing guy!!)

6. Just found another. Thank gawd for being able to highlight a word or group of words and be able to drop multiple characteristic changes on it all at once. Rather than having at CL to go back every freaking time to highlight again ..... one at a time for each. Beautiful!

Others feel free to chime in with what you like. A lot of us will probably early on be reading about features we're unaware of yet.

 

Real-time chat during games (even on a mobile phone) is a huge plus. I will no longer feel alone watching Laker games.

 

The real time chat feature is AWESOME. Great job with the site guys.

 

When the regular season comes on and we have more members, the real test is too see if this site will be as fast and how fast the real time chat will fly by.

 

I still don't get how you guys watch the game and find time to type without missing anything visually. Usually at CL if I felt compelled it was because of some astonishing play or came on there in a time out, quarter, halftime, whatever. Do you guys type sight unseen on your phones, or are you on full size keyboards?

 

Kasumi, LOL with the heart breaking icon for Pau. Yeah me too, he was all class and really something for us during his best years and always with his skill level.

 

Since 'antoni was run outta town, along with his 7 seconds-or-less offense, there should be enough time to type something on a phone or iPad without missing a whole lot of action. And if I do, I can always play it back on my DVR.

 

But I just noticed the posts how they are chronologically tagged. Just days of the week and time, with no date? Why is that? Or after it gets to be a week does a date kick in? Even that seems a bit odd. Usually you see "today" or a day and date if not "today" along with the time.

 

Hmmm...good eye. Not sure. Barns should know.

 

I'd vote for the time stamp with date, doesn't have to be big but is going to be important as threads grow. Can't have nothing but Monday, Tuesday, Wed ..... and that's it??

On another note, DUH, I need to go read the opening "Welcome to Lakersball.com" thread to more educate myself here. Just started and right off the bat I discover how to change the color scheme from 4 choices. Very cool. They ALL have appeal, but wow the road purple is pretty and easy on the eyes first impressions.

 

How do you get to the comprehensive list of all the members? All I seem to be able to find are select rankings of them in certain areas once you're in there, like one page. Am sure I'm missing something.

 

How do you turn off the notifications and thread postings that come to your personal email box ..... on a GLOBAL setting? I seem to see the bottom of each thread has defaults "ON" for those. My inbox is insane enough without all of Lakers discussion there too. Got to stop that right away.

 

I think the real test will be when the Lakers land their next major free agent and/or trade.
CL went down like clockwork whenever major news occurred.
