Greetings Everyone,

Aside from the obvious visual changes to the site there are quite a few new features for you to use and enjoy... and there could be many more on the way, so stay tuned!!!

Here are just a few of the new features:

Personal Photo Galleries - use the link in the left menu and click the folder icon in the upper right to create your own gallery and upload images. Each member has 3 megs of space, or approximately 85 images! You can even use one of these uploaded images in your member profile!

Member Friends list - Integrated into the private message system you can now invite members to be your friends, similar to Facebook. At present it isn't much more than a list that will appear below in your member profile, but there are big plans for this feature, so stay tuned! Simply find the member you're looking for using the member search feature and click the 'Send Friend Request' link. If they accept they'll be add to your friends list.

Restyled Stats Area - At present there are no new stats. The stats are just re-organized into collapsible tables that are printer friendly (just use your browser's built in print function).

Member WebLogs - You can now blog about your team and your APA experience in your own personal weblog! Your blog has it's own RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to it and post comments as well... you can even link it to your MySpace or Facebook account. We all know lots of interesting things happen during league play! Now you can share those experiences with others; we just ask that you keep it positive. Enjoy!

... and there are many other changes. Please take some time to look around and let us know what you think!

Enjoy everyone!

I like the new design but I'm experiencing problems printing the new Restyled Stats Area using MS's IE print feature. All the information is not printing and will not fit on the paper. I've tried adjusting my page setup to the maximum on 2 different PCs/Printers and tried printing in both portrait and landscape. This did not help. Under Print preview the information is also cut off.

I'm also having problems printing "My Performance Graph". When printed the graph is distorted (again on 2 different PCs/Printers).

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

Just some Info Cliff - I copy My Stats and Paste them in Excel - works like a charm.
for Top Dog I copy and paste to Note Pad - save as a text file then import into Excel - then sort by what ever you choose.
I do this from IE - it doen't work with FireFox.

I don't fool with My Performance Graph.

Plus these files can be saved forever - if needed. FWIW

Thanks for the info Don.

I don't have Excel so I'm still dead in the water.

Before the changes, I used the "PRINT THIS PAGE" feature and printed everything to a PDF file without any problems. This allowed me to keep a permanent record.

I'm trying to determine if I'm having a cockpit problem, so do me a favor. Pull up your Team Statistics page, look at it via the IE Print Preview feature, and let me know if it shows all the info.

If all the info fits on the page, the problem is not with the web site.

Thanks in advance.

Cliff go to one of your team stat pages - minimize all three sections - expand them back - now go to page preview - in IE you can also turn off Header and Footers from the ICON at Top next to Page set up. This should get all on one page - It did for me. I did not print it.

The problem was with the website! It's since been fixed - actually it should have been fixed before the post made at 2:09 today!! I uploaded the changes at 9 AM. No matter because I made further changes this evening.

So, can you please pull up the print preview and verify that it's not cutting off the last couple teams of the division standings, or other information now?

I appreciate the feedback!!

I'm still having problems printing "My Performance Graphs". When printed or viewed under IE's "Print Review" feature, the graphs shift to the extreme right of the statistics given at the bottom of the graph.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

I continue to experience problems printing "My Performance Graphs". When printed or viewed under IE's "Print Preview" feature, the graphs shift to the extreme right of the statistical data given at the bottom of the graph. In other words the Graphs are not directly above the data when printed or viewed under IE's "Print Preview" feature.

Is this a system problem or is it my problem?

IE Print and Print Preview options are longer working properly for all screens (on two different PCs). I haven't change any of my IE or Print options. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Cliff,

I think it may be a problem with your IE. I use IE8 and my print preview seems to work fine...

There was a problem with printing - I got an email (to webmaster) yesterday and fixed it pretty quickly because I knew what it was.

The issue was related to an update we deployed to better integrate the Blogs/Forums with Social Networking Sites.

You can now share Blog or Forum Posts with other popular website services that you may have accounts with such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Dig and many others.

When browsing someones personal Blog, or Forum topics, at the top of the page you will see the Share icon.

Click on the service you would like to share the topic with and follow the onscreen instructions.



If your a member of Facebook, you can also click the "Like" button and it will show how many other Facebook users liked the Blog/Topic as well.
