@cowgirl @steve-mn Better?

Along those lines, I don't see notifications when I'm tagged (I do when I get a thumbs up, a reply to a post, or any reply in the thread that the system says I started because I have the first post after you chopped of a ton of old pages)

@steve-mn Like I said in the other thread, you need to unmute the mentioning bell.

I think I missed that one.  And, in the meantime, I did get a reaction on a post, and the notification isn't getting hidden behind the scoreboard on my phone now.

Yep @jupiter its working, thanks!

@jupiter , not sure if this impacts this site or not

 Couldn't remember if this was Wordpress.

I am just trying to understand what it is or does. This is a WordPress site.

Did you install the Jetpack plugin?  From what I see reading through this, that seems to be the main vehicle behind that kind of scraping.

Also, it seems like it's only blog posts, not necessarily forums like this, but certainly can't tell for sure.

Is it possible for, "New reply from xxx" to only appear for replies to the user rather than just a reply to a thread you've posted in?

I think it's only direct replies, and replies to threads you started.

Yup - it must be the 'threads you started' that threw me off as i started the Movies thread and the last reply from Rube was not directly to me. Anyway to turn that one off? 🤣

I don't think so.

I finally figured out how to show those who are "Golden" to be that actual color for your username.

So you have these user colors...

Actually thanks for the reminder.  Done!

This could be a fun page at some point down the road. (I need to get a lot more photos of the refs)

https://gopherpucklive.com/big-ten/officials/

Here are the first couple of head shots for the refs page 😉 😎 

Besides the BigTen Officials page, just this week we have added a BigTen Suspensions page to the site. Still needs work and is under construction, but it is to a point where we have some decent data. So I have added it to the Big Ten header menu.

B1G Suspensions Page

A few months ago, I also added a page that is a composite Big Ten games only schedule as well. Just a place to reference them all in one place.

B1G Schedule Page

PLAYER STATS

I have removed the player stat totals from the Roster page and made a new page for it. The page take a few seconds to load, but I have things like time on ice, plus/minus and other total stats. You can also sort by any stat.

NCAA TRANSFER PORTAL

Updated this a bit as well. You can sort by any column and also search for content as well.

https://gopherpucklive.com/transfer-portal/

Thanks to @northerngopher218 we have a new data page on GPL. Just like he has done for the Transfer Portal, he is now keeping track of the former Gophers that are still playing hockey. So we created a page linking to his data incase you want to keep track of what former players are doing in one place.

You can find this "Former Gophers" page in the UofM / More menu up top.

Or click here:Former Gophers

The last couple days I have had some weird loading issues with the site.  It loads slow, pages don't fully load and sometimes it doesn't advance to the newest post. (in part because the page won't load)

I use Chrome, and it only happens on this site from what I can tell.

Not a big deal just an FYI. (its working ok right now)

I only use Chrome as well… Things loaded pretty normal for me.

That also happens to me on chrome, no problem on firefox.

I get a little lag on Firefox - for instance when I click a link for the portal, after the page loads after a few seconds everything on screen adjusts and moves up a few spaces, so I have to wait for that adjustment before I try to click any links. 1st world problems.

This is actually due to the recent posts module on the page. I have tried a few workarounds, but it is built in to the software.

What is happening is that it is bringing you to the first unread post on the page. So the page scrolls down automatically. The message board software people are aware of this, but have no plans to fix it.

GPL Header Menu

I have switched to a different style of menu up top. I tested as best as I could, but there could be issues I could have easily missed. Let me know if you see anything.

I know I need to tweak a few things for Dark Mode, I will get to that at some point today.

Two extra clicks for me now. Across the top there used to be Portal etc. Now there's nothing. So I click on the 3 bars, then Community, then Portal.

So all you see is the mobile "hamburger" menu on desktop? I ask because the hamburger menu on mobile has been their for quite a while now. At least over a year.

The row across the top where there used to be Main, Portal etc is now blank.

@norm Desktop or Mobile?

@norm one thing is that it does switch to tablet mode at a larger screen size. I will see if I can tweak that.

Yep... The breakpoint for tablet which turns on the mobile navigation is 1024. I had the option to tweak that with the automatic header, but I have not figured out a way to change that with a custom header.

Desktop

I guess I do not know many people who view desktop at 1024 these days.

Making a few other tweaks as well to the menu. Was just about to implement them when my internet went down. Too hard to get done on mobile, so hopefully later tonight or sometime tomorrow. 

(I had been wanting to put the countdown in the header for a long time.)

The menu line of the header is now sticky and should stay at the top of the page when scrolling.

I have been able to tweak this a bit. The mobile menu will not kick in until the window size is under 768px now. It used to be under 1024px. Had to do some extra coding to get it as close as could to what I wanted. Not perfect yet, but much better.

Has anything changed, in the last couple of days?  My android phone keeps getting logged out & I never go to the first unread post (always goes to the first post).

I have not changed anything in quite some time.

@jupiter Weird.  After I posted, it started working again.
