A lot of browsers have (internally or via extensions) the ability to block cookies from specific domains. If you want to refuse cookies from a specific single server, you could look into that, too.

As far as I can see, their system allows you 1 free view of a single article then forces a login. I don't see any links, or any way to construct the links, that behave differently. We can only link to what they offer -- reproducing their content would be stealing the advertising revenue they receive when you view stories in the context in which they choose to present them. Lots of people on the Internet try to share logins to such sites to avoid divulging any actual personal information, though lots of sites prohibit the use of such IDs. You're on your own interpreting the rules of the Forum sites if you choose to pursue that path.

UND decided to stop giving unrestricted access to their free audio broadcasts this season, so it's a few more steps to listen to a game than it was before. You need to register for an account with them here: http://fightingsioux.xosn.com/liveEvents/l...DB_OEM_ID=13500 Once you have the account, you just click "Listen" next to the event.

What is up with that? It's only the second time or so this season I've caught the Internet broadcast, and just tuned in right as we were going down by 10. Has it always been this bad since the "improved" system?

That thread actually contains a lot of discussion about how people think UND and NDSU would match up, starting on about page 2 and ending when (as all NDSU threads seem to) it drifts off to UND hockey.

Or maybe its just that thread authors can delete threads they originated.

Yep. As do players, families, coaches, potential recruits, scouts, etc..., as I frequently try to remind people when they post something they wouldn't say to someone's face.

Throwing up a message board is pretty easy -- $10/month will get you a hosting company willing to set up and configure one for you. Minimal technical knowledge allows a little customization (color scheme, logo). That's why there are fan message boards for almost every team at every level. Where it gets tricky is if you want to do much more than that, or if the message board starts to become very busy. When you hit those conditions, it requires a fair combination of technical expertise, time, and expense. SiouxSports.com has both problems -- a pretty busy message board, relative to the typical fan site, and a lot of customized features. While it may be true that economies of scale (e.g. running multiple such sites) would shift it to money-making, my day job eliminates both the time available and financial incentive to try to become a professional web guy. So, while I personally certainly wouldn't go so far as to put forth this kind of effort and expense for a team of which I'm not a fan, I have been very happy over the years to give others advice and assistance in their own endeavors. I know Chris over at eGriz is pursuing exactly such a business model, perhaps you should float the idea by him. http://www.missoulamedia.com/

NSIC's limits revisited This is hardly shocking...

The move of the Canadian dollar above parity this morning, for the first time since 1976, could help a lot. When you consider that a Canadian with the same income has 62% more buying power in U.S.-dollar denominated goods than in 2002, G.F. has a significant opportunity to sell hotel rooms, sporting event tickets, and grinders with taco meat to Canadians.

I don't actually think it has anything to do with NDSU, but I think this thread is what you're looking for.

The Herald is now running it, but they're painting it as a story about a rumor instead of a story that Buning is out. I'm a little surprised to see a news organization run an admitted rumor on which they couldn't get anyone involved to comment, but for those who like links, there's one.

I didn't mean to promise any specific change. For example, I've also had discussions with a designer and an artist on the possibility of making the existing logo more distinctly masculine, as I personally remain rather fond of the concept. My real point in posting was to reassure people that I am still reading this thread, taking their concerns seriously, and continuing to ponder the issue.

I haven't posted in this thread in a while, so probably ought to give an update on the logo. I'm not overly concerned that some people have said "eh, not my style". I recognize that it is somewhat avant-garde, and won't be loved by everyone. I regret each person who doesn't like it, but acknowledge that finding something that's everyone's favorite is unattainable. However, as previously mentioned, I remain quite concerned about the recurring dislike of the androgyny. A noticeable percentage of people's initial reaction is negative based on a perception of femininity. That's a fundamental flaw that letting people "get used to it" won't overcome. I expect a consistent percentage of people to have a similar reaction as they are newly exposed to it going forward, and that's not good for the site or its fans. Before choosing this one, I commissioned a dozen variations on half a dozen distinct themes. They range from the relatively neutral (ornamentation on the text "SiouxSports") to completely different style Indian heads. I think the former is far less interesting but unlikely to be hated by anyone, while the latter will draw more "not my style, again" reactions but is far more interesting. I'm pondering if I want to go down that path again I'm considering my options, but some change soon is possible and I will keep you all informed. Rest assured, I will keep masculinity concerns in mind

Ok, try again. I made an account with an exclamation point, couldn't login to the wiki with it, made a fix for that specific problem, and now can. So, if that's the only source of your difficulty, hopefully it will now work for you.

I'm still reasonably convinced that's the problem, and my proposed solution worked for me in simulations of the problem. Since the fix didn't work for you, I'm going to have to move beyond simulating it and duplicate your situation exactly -- I'll make myself a new id that has the exclamation points, confirm the behavior, and try to fix it. That could take a day or two, so sit tight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

My best guess trying to reproduce it is that it seems to be the exclamation points. Try logging into the wiki using your normal username, but the following five characters (without the spaces) in place of the exclamation points: & # 3 3 ; This is a somewhat diagnostic test, I don't necessarily expect you to have to login that way going forward.

You should be able to use your message board login and password. If that's what you're trying and it's not working, let me know. It's possible that something unique about your account is causing difficulty. For example, I notice that your username contains punctuation; while I don't know that to cause a problem, it wouldn't be shocking.

Thanks for the very detailed bug report -- it was easy to duplicate in IE7 from your description, track down, and fix. I'm now modestly hopeful that was the glitch the original poster had experienced. A great suggestion. I've been working on ornamentation for the menus (see the relatively new icons for links that leave the site), and something to indicate which menus drop-down has definitely crossed my mind. Probably a downward pointing arrow or something (sort of the opposite of ^).

Sorry, an English translation follows: If your web browser was updated in the 21st century, you should see the correct page layout and the dropdown menus should work. If your web browser was made in the 20th century, you will lose all the formatting and the menus will just be giant lists of links, but you should still be able to see and access everything. If you have some very unusual web browser, it's possible that you're stuck in limbo and can just see the top menu items but not use them. If you're stuck in that group, I'm going to make those top menu items do something useful for you soon.

I took great pains to choose drop-down menus that work with all modern browsers (tested on, at a minimum, IE6+/Firefox/Netscape 6+/Safari/Opera) and degrade gracefully on others by showing the fully expanded list (tested on Lynx/Netscape 4.7). They're even fully functional on the Wii Browser That said, there are currently about .5% of visitors who don't have what I listed as a "modern browser" above, and its certainly possible that some fraction of those .5% won't experience the "graceful degradation" of the other browsers I tested. Though the layout actually improves the range of browsers on which the site renders sensibly (see support for Netscape 4.7/Lynx), it's certainly possible that some browsers can't render the drop-down menus but don't show the degraded version of the choices as a list, either. The backup plan for that situation is to actually have the menu links "games" and "people" and so forth lead to superfluous navigation pages; that's just not quite in place yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The earliest invention of this prank that I know of goes back to a time well before YouTube... Great Rose Bowl Hoax Watched by 30m people live on TV. I don't know if anyone did it before that, but it makes sense to me that it would be invented by CalTech students at the Rose Bowl in the era that nationally televised sports were becoming big.

One of the topics for which I found the constraints of the message board format insufficient was a D-I Frequently Asked Questions. As one of the topics that inspired the birth of the wiki, I've given such a page a start: D-I Frequently Asked Questions Like everything in the wiki, feel free to edit if you have something to add!

I think you misinterpreted. My link didn't go quite as deep as I'd hoped, try it again.
