De-kludging Free Kraut; Game Thread 41

In place of your basic lineup list, DFA and I present to you the following:

Beta Version of a usable FK site

You should probably set up your own login (it defaults to editor), but it may take longer than expected to get your password, so you can also sign in as jcrewjr / freekraut. Either way you’ll get Editor (not administrator) rights. I don’t know what, if any, settings you can change but please FOR THE LOVE OF PICKLED CABBAGE don’t change any site-wide settings (you can upload an avatar and play with your sigline if you want). The software is heavily customized, so changes through the admin interface may break things that you can’t unbreak. Also, do not post actual content on this site as it will not survive the transition (as, I hope, the content here will).

Now, features:

Threaded comments which use ajax (post without reloading page) and are much less space intensive
Support for siglines and avatars
Unread comment tracking (plus Z key functionality – note that when you press the z key you’ll get an alert that says “called,” this ensures the function is triggered. If pressing z doesn’t work as expected, I’ll want to know whether you get the alert and what browser you’re using.)
Wide-screen format
Post filtering (DLDs and Game Threads to sidebar so they don’t knock out other posts)
Post minimizing (All main-area posts except for the first one display only their excerpt)
Images in comments (and buttons to do html markup)

Please let me know if there is anything unintuitive/missing/whatever. If I can add it, I will. Please check it out and play around this weekend so that I can move forward with implementing whatever bugs there are.

    “Error 404”

    beta may be a slight exaggeration

    I love the tabs for the DLDS, gamethread, uncategorized. There’s a lot of very cool little things to it.

    When we go live on that?

    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    so this game is fun, thus far.

    This team is an offensive juggernaught!

    The D-backs sure love catchers as managers.

    My radio is a full one pitch ahead of the TV broadcast.

    And Vince still misses plays.

    Crosby is five-tool suck.

    The new site looks promising. Hope all the cool people don’t get mad and quit.

    I can’t decide what is better, the new FK, or putting up 5 in an inning. Thank God I’m a modern woman and I can have both.

    Wow, someone give Springer a nice jar of kraut.

  12. lenscrafters May 8,2009 9:10 pm

    I like how Hannahan threw to first that time instead of Crosby.

    And I expected the offensive suck from Cabrera but did not expect the defensive suck.

    I don’t feel like logging in over there….

    I would suggest a milder color for the unread comments.

  14. batgirl May 8,2009 9:35 pm

    Sweet. Nice win.

  15. mikeA May 8,2009 9:36 pm

    18 pitches for Bailey.

  16. batgirl May 8,2009 9:46 pm

    Watching highligts of Outman in the high sox w/ # 55, it’s like “When did Blanton lose all that weight?”

  17. mikeA May 8,2009 10:41 pm

    Patterson was a single short of the cycle tonight. .982 OPS for the year….

    You’re going to have to walk us dumber people through this…

    Also, +1 on milder color.

    Kennedy is in the lineup today. No word on the roster move. Copeland or Davis probably.
