Lone Star Ball: An SB Nation Community

New Blog: The Boxing Bulletin for Boxing Fans!

A new feature -- seeing lots of FanPosts

The tech wizards at SBNation have come up with a new feature for the SBNation blogs, which I think some of you will enjoy.

One of the complaints that sometimes surfaces is that FanPosts disappear to quickly, and it is too hard to go back and look at FanPosts from just a day or two ago.

Well, if you go to http://www.lonestarball.com/fanposts, you will now get to see a listing of 25 FanPosts in terms of most recently active (the default setting), most recently posted, and other sortings, along with an option that lets you see the last 20 FanPosts set out in post form (the way that, say, the front page posts look), so you can get caught up on a bunch of FanPosts without having to click each one.

So anyway, check it out, and hopefully this will be a nice tool for folks to use.

Lots of fan posts?

How about lots of main page posts in the last 18 hours? Are you working today, Adam?

Three of today's posts...

…were written last night, and scheduled to post today.

I was in court this morning, actually.

Well, nicely done.

You have certainly ruined my productivity this morning. (not a complaint)

Link

AJM’s link does not work.

However, this one does: http://www.lonestarball.com/fanposts

Good grief

Will SBNation ever stop coddling these lazy bloggers?!

now you just need to add an icon in the address bar so it doesn’t look like a blank page…

Oh I so second this

I have LSB as a shortcut in my address bar. Some of the other SBNation sites have favicons, and Athletics Nation’s icon has taken over my LSB shortcut. It’s pretty annoying.

Unless firefox fixed that bug...

then once another favicon has taken over that spot, the new LSB favicon won’t replace it in your bookmarks list.

They must have fixed it

because I have the shiny LSB icon now :)

If AJM wants to use it.

or if that link isnt permanent, the page could be used to convert the .jpeg again

the preceding post was a great success.

All Adam has to do

is email out network guy and say he wants one.

I've been travelling....

Just a word of thanks to Adam and the sbnation folks for the mobile site. Way overdue.

by bdavison94 on Oct 2, 2008 1:18 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Not to nitpick

But I think the option for full or mobile site should be permanent; I am fine with the full site to the phone and get kind of irritated that I have to select full site every time if I wanted to see the live scoreboard. Anyways, minor quibble.

Nice!

It certainly makes it easy to find the LSB User’s Guide. Its the top fanpost under “Most Popular of All Time” sort.

Not possible

well I mean we have to wait for humans to land on the moon first…oh wait…..

I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

Nice!

I have the Firefox bookmark toolbar as well, and to my surprise (before I read this post) the blank page icon changed to the LSB one. Very cool.
