IMPORTANT: New Forum Usage FAQ (Before you ask, read this...)

[Jim F.]

Please see the new FAQ located here.

[cassidym]

Is there a setting on browsers that will allow new posts to pop up in a forum; a sort of auto-reload?

Really like the Game Thread and would like not to have to hit the reload button to see new posts.

[RogerYY]

I have searched the board carefully. Probably not carefully enough.
Can anyone tell me how to become:
NYYF Cy Young, NYYF MVP, addicted member, NYYF Legend, or some self-invented title?
How are they rated? I mean, Cy Young, Legend, MVP all seem to be first class member to me.

[FingersCrossed]

RogerYY, it's right there in the FAQ! In the first post of this thread. But I'll quote it for you anyway.

Q: What are the user status levels, and when is mine going to change?

A: The user status levels are below:

New Member: 0-9 Posts

Senior Member: 150-249 Posts
Forum Regular: 250-399 Posts

They're post-count related....don't quite remember what the levels are. Gamethread posts don't count. Of course, a $10,000 donation to the site will make you a NYYFANS Legend tonight.


Edit: Thanks, Fingers.

[RogerYY]

Thanks a lot, Bub! I thought about donation must have something to do with it too.
So NYYF Legend is the highest level?

No. That would be Disgusting, Baiting Troll s.g.

[Trish]

No, it's suchadick

[Archer1979]

Me - ow!

[RogerYY]

Ha ha! very funny!
Seriously, you guys obviously know the trick. What do I need to do to get myself one of those cool attributes??

[TheYankee]

Attributes? What are you talking about?

[RogerYY]

I mean that "Good Lord is a Yankee", "Meow" thing.

[RogerYY]

Can't believe I missed your explanation. Thanks a lot, FingersCrossed! I think you can even make a good sports writer.

[RogerYY]

Got it!! Thanks!

Q: Those user status names suck! Can I create my own?

A: Sure you can! Right after your 2000^th post or you’ve been a member for 365 days, whichever comes first.

[Tifoso]

Cool.

[JL25and3]

Cool.

Tifoso, I'm trying to fill in the blanks on your user status name. You really think we'll have to wait until 2017, or is it even longer?

[Trish]

2097. Tifoso knows.

[Tifoso]

You have a point

[mitchrock]

Is Tifoso's user name supposed to mean we sign average players who are high? Please discuss.

[yanksphan]

Is Tifoso's user name supposed to mean we sign average players who are high? Please discuss.

Our manager obviously is - why not the players too?

[RogerYY]

Is Tifoso's user name supposed to mean we sign average players who are high? Please discuss.

It's very interesting we are discussing other people's user status name here, but I want to join.

I thought his name means we sign players whose hitting average are high.

But the thing is, we want long term average or short term average?

If it's long term average, I've seen fans here complaining about players' age and all that.... Just a thought.

[Tifoso]

Thanks guys--I really needed the laugh today.

Damn him for not sharing.

[RogerYY]

Hey, I just realized that User Status Name is the only place in this board where one can say whatever they want and not be recorded. Cool!!! I mean, darn!

I bumped into "The longest thread" yesterday and was like gush! when they started that thread, they were talking about trying to beat the longest thread then, which was 34 pages, and that thread has become indeed the longest thread here. (Today we have so many threads exceeding 34 pages.) Five years later, a new member was still able to follow their mood........

[ucrenegade]

i have been here for 7-8 months and it won't let me start a new thread and I can't see how many posts I have made? am I still under the old rules one year and 100 posts?

[WCNYY]

you have 53 posts. Put your cursor over your name and it will show it or you can click on your name and it will bring you to a page about yourself
Edit: Just saw your question answered in the other thread

[mitchrock]

Can we get an HDTV Forum? I wanna be stylin.

That is the greatest thread ever...post and become a part of history!

How do I get the right to send a private message to someone? (I did check the new FAQ again.)
Thanks!

I might be wrong but I think you need to have a certain number of posts(500?) or be here for a certain period of time(60 days?) IDK something like that.

[RogerYY]

someone answered me! What a coincident!
Well, I still don't know exactly when I can do that. But, just wanted to ask u a few questions privately so regulars here wouldn't see my stupid questions. And I sort of wanted you to secretly introduce a few of your hugeee family members here to me so I can go through a shorter route to make more friends here. But it's all ruined by that stupid rule.

...

Hello! Administrators!
I think maybe a Member should be given the privilege to send a private message sooner than he/she be given the privilege to start a new thread.

[mitchrock]

The only thing that is a bummer is not having private messages. There are a couple of posters who I really enjoy here and would like to PM them from time to time but have to wait a while still.

I do like the selection of avatars once you get to 1000 posts. Love the Matsui one I'm using now.

[Toaderly]

I might be wrong but I think you need to have a certain number of posts(500?) or be here for a certain period of time(60 days?) IDK something like that.

I believe it is a six month waiting period.

[yankeebot]

I would also like to see the PM restrictions lifted. I understand the problems that were occurring that instigated the requirements but that seems to be behind us now. It's time to try again.

[MZwerd]

I have been trying to advertise with nyyfans foir several months and no one will send me a message back-does anyone know who I could contact directly?

Jim, where art thou? Sounds like an opportunity for you...

[MZwerd]

Jim-I can't directly send you a note-you can reach me at marc@genzmarketing.com

[RogerYY]

How do I refer someone?

There are very professional and intelligent guys here I want to refer!!

[YankeePride1967]

Just simply send them the link to this site and when they apply, I believe there is a section where they are asked if anyone referred them here.

You don't wanna know my family...

No question is stupid here so fire away!

If you wanna make friends fast here...give us monies

[RogerYY]

Thanks a lot!

I thought "Referrals" is for us who already registered to refer a nice post.

[Archer1979]

No question is stupid here so fire away!

You really should take Sam off your Ignore List.

[RogerYY]

You don't wanna know my family...

Wow, you finally noticed my post.

No question is stupid here so fire away!

No question is stupid? OK, so what's the last digit of your phone number?

If you wanna make friends fast here...give us monies

OK, I'll try to set up a set of rules to give away "monies" to whoever gives me the nicest reply to my posts. It'll only take me "some time" to make up the rules.

One last stupid question here: What would the mods do to me when they see my post here in this thread?

[yankeeschic12324]

Wow, you finally noticed my post.

Heh sorry..I don't hang around the Suggestion box too often...you haven't been by the longest thread ever! Whats up with that Roger!?

No question is stupid? OK, so what's the last digit of your phone number?

Oh dear....

OK, I'll try to set up a set of rules to give away "monies" to whoever gives me the nicest reply to my posts. It'll only take me "some time" to make up the rules.

Just give me monies...I'll be your friend!

One last stupid question here: What would the mods do to me when they see my post here in this thread?

Call you an idiot.....hehe just kiddin...maybe theyll answer your Q's better than I have.

[YankeePride1967]

Thanks a lot!

Nope, it's for when you get someone to join, they can ask who told them. I have two, one no longer posts and the other rarely does.

So then, your referral status should be changed

[JSG]

the site works fine for me (circa 1.5 months) but since this morning i can't get into the final countdown thread. the column on the right shows new posts being posted but whenever i click it it is fixed on post # 904 from yesterday around noon. not sure what's up.

thanks much jg

[RogerYY]

It's been weeks since I last posted here. I can't log in at home, nor at work. I've left messages to the Help Desk, but got got no response so far.

The problem is: I'd get a Welcome page for a second, then I'd be asked to log in again. (Means I'd be kicked out every time I try to log in from home or from work.)

At first I thought it was my account problem (privilege being taken away or something like that). But now, as I'm on a business trip again, means I'm using a different Internet Service or say IP address, I'm able to log in normally here in the hotel. I guess this must be the reason. But why are my IPs banned in the first place?

Can anyone help me out here? I still want to get the last digit of Linda's phone number. I can't always stay in a hotel. It's been miserable for me not being able to join you guys.

Thanks a lot!
