Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Sample Gamethread

San Antonio @ Orlando


I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what a gamethread might look like. I know you don't care about either of these two teams, neither do I. But the Bulls game tonight (not that you care about that either) seemed to be missing from our internal schedule thingy.

Don't know what was wrong

but they fixed it....

There's your little boxscore... I think it will display on the main page when the Sox play

Thanks for trying out the Gamethreads...

I am sorry that it has been wonky. We are refining them. We hope that this will be a really useful feature.

For Sox games the score-line will apear at the top of this post, and should auto-update every 5 minutes or so as the data comes in from our provider.

Also, as you noted the score-line and final boxscore will appear at the top of the main page...

Again, thanks for being brave and trying out this feature. It is very helpful to see it in action on production and to get feedback...

I didn't see a widget for the NBA

I know we have one, because I used one in the beta.

The question is, is it smart enough for me to fill-in a lineup widget I set at 3PM for for a 6PM game? There's no lineup data at 3, but there should be when the post publishes. Can the system recognize and fill it in.

The Kinks

I know you guys are working the kinks out, so I'll be helpful and point out that while both teams are apparently scoring in the second quarter, it still says there is 5:31 left in the first quarter.

I'll bring the awesome.

Good catch!

I have identified the problem and will be able to fix (unfortunately not for this game). Thanks for alerting me!

Yay!

Finally settled on an avatar. I don't want to be "that guy" who changes it every month, but I may eventually change it.

The sig should be

"Meh". Great expression. I'd like to have a dollar for every time one of us is watching a Sox game or on Gameday and have that expressioncross our faces.

I might become as rich as larry.

I took the "under".

Sweeeeeeet.

So, we can get an updating boxscore here? will it just show inning, hits, runs, erros? or will it show more?

We'll have the most basic stuff

like above, innings, hits, runs errors, pitcher and batter maybe... Possibly more in the future.

I hope it's fixed

to where home/away is represented properly, too. The Magic were the home team.

I took the "under".

That's a pretty important misque

I didn't notice though.
