Superbone, you are right. I thought I was handling the situation appropriately but in actuality was making it more toxic, subsequently ruining the thread and your forum experience. swing, you were in exemplary in trying to move on from the mess I made, but I persisted. In the future, I will try to follow your lead and post with sensitivity, encouragement, reason, and an open mind.
My apologies to all.
Apology accepted.
And keep up the snark, by all means - it helps your cause immensely.....

I'm not sure why you apologized for your behavior. You didn't result to name calling, profanity, or even rudeness.

Six pages? I have been looking all over to get the "40 posts per page" set. Where is that? This thread is 21 pages for me....

I just went into the board settings and raised the "posts per page" from 10 to 20. It gets annoying to click "Next" so often. I would turn it higher but I think it could slow the board down under traffic.

In terms of this thread, which has gotten a little snippy: Let's not forget that anybody can put anybody else on Ignore if they don't want to hear the messages of a particular poster. And disagreements between two people can always be taken to PM if necessary rather than putting it in an existing thread.

I wish. I keep trying to put you on ignore Mori, but it won't let me since you are a mod. Damn you!

Thank God for small favors.
Yeah, it does get a bit tiresome when you've got a lengthy game thread and you're trying to catch up during the action - thanks, guy.

For the record and the 4th time, I'm through - no more on the subject from me.

I am surprised any board software these days doesn't allow it to be end-user configurable.
But when it comes to posts per page, 20 is twice as good as 10, so thank you, Mori.

I could swear the last board had an option in user settings.

On the subject of customization, can you change the style of
links? The purple text doesn't offer much visual contrast with the surrounding black text. Underlining, bolding, or a brighter color would make the links more visible.

Maybe you could put a link in your post as an example. ...Oh, wait. You did. Couldn't see it.

I was referring to the friendly exchange between Swingman and Informer, I even lost track of the main topic.
And by the way, thanks a lot for the increased posts per page.

People -
I've been out of the loop but I have noticed the Alex Lensposion ! I'm just here acknowledging that - let us hope it continues. I heard McD is looking to package Len , Plumlee and 2 picks for Brandon Knight ?

No, that package is for Hasheem Thabeet. Then the Suns theme could be "Thabeet goes on ..."
