FanPosts Improved!

by Ed Valentine on Jun 1, 2009 8:54 AM EDT

Putting together a 'FanPost' is now easier than ever. You can even share it with your friends on 'Twitter.'

Here is some of what is new. Go to SBN's 'Blog Huddle' for full details.

Share on Twitter

When you publish a FanPost or FanShot let your friends (or followers as they're called) know via Twitter. We've built an easy tool into the FanPost and FanShot editors that automatically creates a short URL back to your post and lets you send that to your Twitter stream along with a quick message. You can set this all up from your account settings screen, or right within the FanPost and FanShot editors

Redesigned FanPost Editor

We've made a few changes to the layout and features of the FanPost editor:

Bigger text area
Spellchecker
Draggable jump bar
Sidebar inserts palette
Easy status + save
Autotagger

Let's all be Friends

That all brings me to something else. I have deleted a few comments lately, and sent a few folks nasty grams regarding the tone of other comments. We are all friends here. We are Yankee fans, and we are in this community to share our love for the team. Calling people douche-bags, morons, idiots and other names is not acceptable. Check the Community Guidelines if you need a refresher. Remember, folks, we want mature, intelligent discussion. We don't want name-calling and insults that don't add anything to the discussion.

Yeah we're salty

but some of us cut our teeth during the pfisty days where you were greeted by “the f@#cking retard” salute. It’s a new sandbox, but some habits die hard.

New sandbox

I hear you. I always love good, spirited debate. It’s what a site like PA is made for. I just want everyone to remember that in the end we are all on the same side … even if we have vastly different opinions on how to get there.

i apologize if i have offended anybody recently on this website

but the one comment of mine that was deleted was mimicking Mike Francessa and was not directed at any one person on this site
i was making fun of the way Francessa responded to a caller trying to debate why Joba should be a starter

No problem

And I am not trying to single anyone out, including you. I’ve just seen a bunch of comments lately that i thought had ‘crossed the line,’ and I wanted to put it out there. We have a great, knowledgeable group. We can disagree and be freiendly about it, I hope.
