I agree, I can't see them either. Will look into it.

UND's success on the ice this year has attracted international attention!

Oh, yeah. It's actually been that way for a long time. The author is locked out from editing after 24 hours (on the theory that it creates confusion to edit a post after it's been read a lot and there have been lots of replies). I have no problem tweaking it, but I thought 24 hours was pretty generous. How would you prefer it behave?

You mean for embedded tweets? They should convert from URLs to live tweets when you hit post. Until today, there was a bug that prevented that from happening if the tweet URL wasn't on it's own line. That should now be fixed.

Yep. My guess is extortion attempt. This sort of attack is not cheap. I assume they wrote the network provider and offered to back off for $$$. That the network owner refused and instead tried to work around it is why I can't be too mad about the down time.

Though SiouxSports.com has been happily chugging away, the owner of the network that sits between you and siouxsports has been under a significant attack that has limited everyone's ability to access the site from the outside. It's a pretty significant provider, hosting something like 500,000 sites, so they've been working hard to work around the attacks. Hopefully things will stabilize soon. For techies interested in the gory details, you can view their updates on the situation here: http://status.linode.com.

URL is same as it has always been -- http://wiki.siouxsports.com. Link is at the bottom (in the green footer) of the main pages. You're absolutely right that the fans of the wiki would be unhappy about that, in that it's a serious deemphasizing of it. In the earlier drafts I had actually dropped the wiki entirely, because it's usage is so low, but people emphatically assured me that they really wanted it.

Just take the URL to a tweet (e.g. http://twitter.com....), and paste it into the editor. If you're having troubles getting the link to a specific tweet, hit the "...", click copy link, and then copy the link to your clipboard (Ctrl-C on windows, Cmd-C on apple).

To the contrary, there's now native support for fully functioning (e.g. likes, retweets, follow) embedded tweets. Just paste in the link.

Fixed. Given that it doesn't work in your usual browser, but does when you switch away to a less common one, I'm guessing that this is a browser cache issue as I described above.

You don't a "Theme" dropdown at the bottom of the page? (right next to the Privacy Policy)

Most of the problems (apparently missing functions) are due to people having cached icons from the old system. Clearing your browser's cache would fix it. So would a forced reload (holding Shift or Control while pressing reload on most computer browsers).

Yeah, that's the biggest complaint I've seen on their support forum (which I've been watching closely to decide when to jump). They claim these "streams" are much better because you can set up streams other than just unread. But, I'm certainly not used to them yet. Made me wonder if this is them dipping their toe in the water to consider moving away from a traditional 90s era paginated forum to something more feed-based like Twitter or Facebook.

I installed a notable update to the forum that included a new version of the editor. Hope this helps with some of the editor problems people have been having, it's certainly worked well for me so far! (the red quote line is gone!) However, given that it was a significant update, I'm sure there will be some issues. Let me know of any problems.

Yeah, I already have a few of those locked up from when I thought I might make a change back in the no-nickname days. Definitely a possibility if people stick to calling us "North Dakota" more than "Fighting Hawks".

I'll definitely get the update on here sometime during the break. Lots of changes to the editor, so hopefully more problems go away than are caused Is your zoom issue all the time, or just sometimes? I see it happen sometimes when someone has embedded non-responsive content (e.g. a large image).

There's been a significant update to the editor available for a few weeks, but I'm always hesitant to jump on the first release. Will probably switch to it over the Christmas break, by which time it will probably be on the 3rd or 4th iteration.

I was trying to put together a rebuttal post about how Santiago was #4 in I-AA with 1459 yards rushing, and intended to compare him to the top NDSU rusher. Unfortunately, they only listed the top 50, so no NDSU players were listed. http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs/current/individual/469 But, you're right, no one is disputing that the NDSU defense stopped UND cold. But to question whether Santiago is a top rusher just makes you look silly.

Ok, I'll try making it unlimited and we'll just adjust later if it turns into a problem.

I'm not sure that was deliberate, but it has that effect. A plan to start using a new name in a year would still seem like something that could be attacked or petitioned against. Fighting Hawks is UND's nickname right now. It'll be in articles and web sites which well help it work into social media which will help make it accepted.

And later in the day, UND revised it's own article to refer to its team as Fighting Hawks: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=210513589&DB_OEM_ID=13500

First time I've seen it used in a real story not about the name itself: http://www.bigskyconf.com/news/2015/11/19/WVBALL_1119154505.aspx

Next summer. Here's a nice FAQ on what won't change, what will, and when.

I'm sympathetic to that point -- a one page summary of everything is a nice way to glance at everything that's happening, and those who want to dig deeper can follow a link to another page. I'll see if I can come up with something to get those back on the front. Twitter is pretty strict about not reproducing the text from tweets, so I can't just make a clickable list like I do for the forum topics. Any reproduction of a tweet has to be a live tweet with the full name, avatar, timestamp, actions, etc... In somewhat comical timing, Instagram also just announced a crack down on its display requirements yesterday, so I'm going to have to dig a bit deeper into that, and I suppose there's some chance I won't be able to do this aggregation anyway.
