New Opinion Article Format

Hello Everyone,

As you might have noticed, we have made some changes around the site. In addition to tweaks to the homepage and user profiles, we've done a lot of under the hood stuff that I won't bore you with.

The Opinion pages have been completely revamped. However, this will only affect opinions created after this change. Due to previous formatting and a few technical reasons, we decided to only apply this new style going forward (the URLs with "Article:" before the title make this distinction).

Note: The left hand column will automatically display information about the author of the article (or multiple if its collaborative).

  • Pulls blurb from "About Me" section onto the page (so if you wanted to give a constant link to your blog)
  • Displays last few articles you've written (again, it will only give the recent posts going forward, so everyone's will be blank to start off with).

We have a few minor things to fix, but please let us know if there any problems or have any questions (I'm sure Alex will call me out in the Lockerroom :P ).

DP, DNL, and Awrigh01.

Also, I like the changes to encyclopaedia pages. Before they were too narrow to fit some stuff on, so thanks for that. Also, I like the wiki box being a bit wider, because it helps if you have a table to format on snooker tournaments. :)

Not that it's a big deal or anything, but the comments in the new format 1 minute ago are said to be "1 minutes ago".
Image:Dictionary.jpg This user will go out of his way to point out errors in spelling and grammar. It's not because he wants to be rude, but because he loves the language so much.

"He" is used for the sake of a pronoun. It equally applies to she.

You know what we need???

AGM Mobile. I gotta sidekick and I'm always doin my writing on that but I can't post it on AGM using my phone. So I have to email what I wrote to the computer. That would be bad ass if I could comment and post articles off of my phone.

Just a thought

Pean- I gave you shit this morning about the new look and the pics not showing up but the way it looks now is great- especially how it makes all the pics the same size and you can scroll to see all of it-- makes it look really formal and clean-- one question-- can you post nudy's yet?

In the News

Josh Hamilton astonished the baseball world when he hit 28 home runs in the first round of the 2008 Home Run Derby, with 3 of those home runs having an estimated measurement of over 500 feet. However, he didn't have enough let to beat Justin Morneau in the final round, as Morneau beat Hamilton 5-3. The other six who participated in the Derby were Evan Longoria, Chase Utley, Dan Uggla, Lance Berkman, Grady Sizemore, and Ryan Braun; Braun and Berkman made it to the semifinals.
