[Jim F.]

Is there a setting on browsers that will allow new posts to pop up in a forum; a sort of auto-reload?

Really like the Game Thread and would like not to have to hit the reload button to see new posts.

I have searched the board carefully. Probably not carefully enough.
Can anyone tell me how to become:
NYYF Cy Young, NYYF MVP, addicted member, NYYF Legend, or some self-invented title?
How are they rated? I mean, Cy Young, Legend, MVP all seem to be first class member to me.

[FingersCrossed]

RogerYY, it's right there in the FAQ! In the first post of this thread. But I'll quote it for you anyway.

Q: What are the user status levels, and when is mine going to change?

A: The user status levels are below:

They're post-count related....don't quite remember what the levels are. Gamethread posts don't count. Of course, a $10,000 donation to the site will make you a NYYFANS Legend tonight.


Edit: Thanks, Fingers.

[RogerYY]

Thanks a lot, Bub! I thought about donation must have something to do with it too.
So NYYF Legend is the highest level?

Ha ha! very funny!
Seriously, you guys obviously know the trick. What do I need to do to get myself one of those cool attributes??

Attributes? What are you talking about?

[RogerYY]

I mean that "Good Lord is a Yankee", "Meow" thing.

Can't believe I missed your explanation. Thanks a lot, FingersCrossed! I think you can even make a good sports writer.

[RogerYY]

Got it!! Thanks!

Q: Those user status names suck! Can I create my own?

A: Sure you can! Right after your 2000^th post or you’ve been a member for 365 days, whichever comes first.

[Tifoso]

Cool.

[JL25and3]

Cool.

Tifoso, I'm trying to fill in the blanks on your user status name. You really think we'll have to wait until 2017, or is it even longer?

2097. Tifoso knows.

You have a point

[mitchrock]

Is Tifoso's user name supposed to mean we sign average players who are high? Please discuss.

Our manager obviously is - why not the players too?

[RogerYY]

It's very interesting we are discussing other people's user status name here, but I want to join.

I thought his name means we sign players whose hitting average are high.

But the thing is, we want long term average or short term average?

If it's long term average, I've seen fans here complaining about players' age and all that.... Just a thought.

Thanks guys--I really needed the laugh today.

Damn him for not sharing.

Hey, I just realized that User Status Name is the only place in this board where one can say whatever they want and not be recorded. Cool!!! I mean, darn!

I bumped into "The longest thread" yesterday and was like gush! when they started that thread, they were talking about trying to beat the longest thread then, which was 34 pages, and that thread has become indeed the longest thread here. (Today we have so many threads exceeding 34 pages.) Five years later, a new member was still able to follow their mood........
