"game day" tab

LaPorteAveApostle · February 07, 2014, 08:12:08 PM

04, I notice the "Game Day" option at the front every now and then, but it's always blank.

Was there something intended for there?

It might be nice to have the video & chat there as maybe more would find it since now they have to scroll on the main screen.

MAYBE IT COULD EVEN FLASH GOLD AND BROWN WHEN LIVE

(sorry to make suggestions when i don't know anything about computers. i'm a musician. the only thing I know about computers is that you can put the print shop floppy upside down and play the driver game. thanks broderbund.)

Hmmm...if you are referring to the menu bar at the top here, it should take you to the video stream and chat window.

It does for me.

I just tested using Safari and here is what it looks like to me:

Could an ad blocker be affecting it for you?

LaPorteAveApostle · February 10, 2014, 10:35:20 AM

Thank you for that. I suppose that could be an issue, except I don't have any add-on protection than what Safari gives me; plus, I can see it on the "Forum Home" page, just down toward the bottom, so wouldn't it block it there too?

Sorry to be difficult. But here's what I see in Chrome and Firefox. (I don't use IE because I want a3uge to be my friend.)

Can someone please tell me I'm not the only one?

So if you go to the forum home page and click the "+" on the "Game Day" bar you can see the chat and video but if you click on the link, it doesn't display?

This is not the only oddity, by the way. At work, behind the company firewall on my Windows 7 Premium computer, I can see the banner with the 4 seniors at the top of the Forum main page just fine. At home, on my Windows 7 Home laptop with only my McAfee firewall (I should try disabling it and see if that makes a difference), I can't see the banner.

Hmm, that is a strange one as well.

So you also have the blank "Game Day" issue?

No, as far as I can tell, the page displays its general layout as expected. I have a different issue: The chat box remains empty with a never ending spinning wheel in the middle. I've gotten used to just not trying it at work (probably a good idea anyway).

I haven't tried the Game Day tab at home, I usually just scroll down to the bottom of the main page.

I don't even need to click the +...maybe I did the first time long ago...but now it always loads automatically. You can see that I'm ... um... active in chat :/

But as screenshotted above, the GD tab doesn't yield the same result! (Read that in Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson voice: "MARtha! the GD TAB doesn't work!!!")

Sorry to be difficult.

How did I miss this?!

Easter Eggs aside, I came to this thread looking for the discussion of the Game Day content on the default
http://www.valpofanzone.com/forum/index.php
page.

Am I misremembering, or is it now quite different? With the Audio and Video "above the fold", and only the "Valpo Basketball" and "Other Sports" forums above it?

Probably my initial reaction is driven by "it's not the way I'm used to!". But, I suspect I will find all the scrolling annoying... I wonder if the trade-offs are worth it. They might be.
