nice... that'd work... I think the "my news" was on the upper bar... please include that too if you can.

Added the links to the bottom of each page and included "My News". I also added that module to the slider.

On the rosters page, any way to darken the newposition line or make it stand out more? The addition of a thin line between each player is good but now the newposition line doesn't stand out very well.

The double line thing he's got going on now looks good here. Don't know if he just added that since you asked or what, but it looks alright to me.


This new site is coming along really well Brandon... the links at the bottom on the home page are great. The roster page is lookin way better too. Like someone else mentioned, it kinda sucks that you can't see your whole team at once anymore, but that's probably my only complaint.

Here is what I see (on Chrome). I see the double line but it's not very distinct from the other lines and very "light", hard to see. A bolder or darker line (or double line, whatever) would be very helpful.

The site looks great Brandon... my only complaint is on the rosters page, with these "lines" and "double lines". They are not distinct at all on my end... the result is that it makes all the rosters blend together in a "sense." I would like a more bolder line/double line to separate positions and separate between the other teams as well. I have to take my time and look real closely when scrolling through the rosters page because it all looks like one big blended report. Make sense?

I use Firefox, Safari and Chrome.... and they all look like the screen shot Scott put up. Not distinct at all.

I probably don't need to post another example since the old site was more readable but here is from another league I'm in. It's very clear at a quick glance position by position and from player to player.

I didn't make any dramatic changes, but I made a few more tweaks. Can you guys see your whole team on your screen now? I got rid of all the padding, darkened the borders between each position and between each team so hopefully stand out better.

Any other pages that could use some more TLC?

Hmmm, let's see.

My Roster tab could use the same treatment as the Rosters report.

On the submit lineup page...don't we submit a backup player each week to break ties? I thought we did. If so it's missing.

Transactions report could use either darker lines separating each transaction or a different color every other row to make it easier to read.

League calender, the box lines around each day are barely visible, could be quite a bit darker. It also seems rather large, can't see an entire month on a single screen. I notice this really on a lot of reports, perhaps extra padding that's not really needed. I've found 3px to be a good compromise on padding between none and too much. But really depends on the skin.

Now back to work. :wall:

Done.

Done. And applied this same style to the trade bait report

You can't see an entire month on this page?

Go to September where there is stuff on it and compare to the 2011 league calender for September and you'll see the difference.

Oh, other changes look good.

How is the League Rosters page organized?
Is it possible to have teams grouped by divisions?

Its organized by franchise ID number but unfortunately we can't change that. Good suggestion though.

You can do a custom franchise order to order it differently, however this would effect other reports that have the franchise listing. Not sure what those would be though. I have a custom franchise order on my league to have the teams listed alphabetically for example.

That looks much better. :excited:

Side note, looks like blind bidding ends on Wednesday at 5pm (EST). Didn't we have it end at 10pm the past couple years? Which gives the west coast folks a couple hours after work to get in last minute bids.
Yep, looks like last year it ended at 9:45 and FCFS started at 10 (EST).

That might work, problem though with the roster report is that the two column layout would mean that divisions would be ordered on top of each other instead of side by side but I should use the custom order anyway its better than franchise ID.

Actually this works perfect with the custom order. I guess I was using this already but with the new owners it wasn't up to date. :blunt:

This should be fixed now. We are ending blind bidding at 10 EST and starting FCFS at 10EST

When I view the site using Internet Explorer I see a dark blue background which makes it very difficult to read the gray text and the scrolling window. When I use firefox I get a white background which makes it easier to read the information on the site.

Is there a setting in IE that I need to adjust in order to view the site correctly in IE?
Made a couple changes so IE8 sucks less. Its still not great but it's useable now.
