Slightly OT: Wiretap

mayorhoiberg · Post #1 » by **mayorhoiberg** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:34 pm

WTF? The wiretap is usually updated several times per day, right? Just our luck that when something goes wrong, the headline stuck at the very top for DAYS is "Love Talks About Possibly Leaving Timberwolves"....

Anybody know whats going on?

They just really want to get the point across that Ronald Dupree and the Raptors are no more. :cry:

(it's busted)

Ha! In general, it's probably the most uninteresting collection of headlines in awhile.

I just started reading the WT Paint thread, and now this happens. It doesn't really affect me though because I read updates from Hoopshype and check Rubechat for ESPN Insider.

They are in the midst of launching "major upgrades" to the site, which is why Wiretap hasn't been updated. It should be back sometime this week.

I got hooked into creating a few. :lol:

It gets addictive, I had to step back for a while.

I was thinking the same, I thought it was only me, sort it out wiretap!

Great news! Are you allowed to give us an idea of what they are looking at upgrading, or bringing back?

I would if I knew. That's about all that Howard has said. He seems pretty excited about something, though. But, really that's about all I know.

I hope they bring back PM's. I think the board would be a lot cleaner if people could talk to each other directly.

And I'd love it if we could search on individual posters again. There are a handful of posters that are so good, I want to read every word they say, regardless of where their post can be found. Some of them are here, and I only stumble across their other posts when I'm on a RealGM board walk-about.

I'm excited! A new version might have a few bugs, but I think we could see some major improvements to improve the boards for everybody!

Best news I've gotten today (man, that says something about me, doesn't it?)

Are they going to hire joan rivers to come up with more sensational and off-base wiretap headlines about how Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love, and expiring bench scrubs all want out?

A simple "Like this" type system would go a long way.

Click on their user name. On the right side of their user profile, click "view your posts"

Maybe this is an ability still in place for mods, but for us peasants, clicking on "view all posts" takes us to the Board Index. You can't even search your own posts.

I just see "Search user’s posts".

Well, wiretap is working again. Haven't noticed any other major changes yet.

Are you agreeing with me, or is this your simple "like this" system? :lol:

It would be nice to not have to scroll through pages of quotes just because some dude wanted to respond "lol."
