Welcome, everyone!
Wow, it feels good to have a home again, doesn’t it? All of us have traversed the internet together, and we’ve finally landed in a place we can call our own. You’ll have to bear with me as I learn how to use all the new functionality. If anything looks out of whack, it’s likely my fault.
If you run across any issues or have suggestions on how to make the site better, PLEASE let me know. I want to do whatever I can to make the place as welcoming as possible, with the ultimate goal of having THE best Vikings blog anywhere. Period. For now, let the good times roll in the comments. This is an open thread, which is…..open. Be cool to one another!
I wonder if there will be a limit imposed at some point?
for now, I’m going to look for an open thread with low comments that I can keep open in a separate tab so I can build up my totals 🙂
over three months later – comments not closed
interesting that we can still comment here
Vking1 is in the house!!
It’s nice in here!
We´re back! Thank you very much, GF!!
How did you do that?
A new beginning today… and all is right with the world!
True and correct. One day closer the the bugs being worked out.
Once we figure this joint out we’re going to need a tutorial for others.
I still can’t figure out how to get set the newest comments to show first as my default
For those of us that need self validation, is there a way to see who rec’d our posts?
Okay, if you click the notify bell next to the post comment button, it will send you an email when you have someone reply to your comment. Thanks, but no.
I’m here. Is this where all the cool kids from DN are hanging out now? I haven’t checked that site in a couple months.
Welcome, seems we have quite the influx of new users here to embrace the suck.
I’m not new. I’ve posted over there for years, but just took a break for the past couple months.
I am well aware. I was just saying welcome here! 🙂
Even Rob and PPB are back.
Thanks
Might have maxed the thread out. 225 comments and it won’t switch to newest forst anymore
Mines fine
Took 2-3 tries but is working again for me too
Looks like beaker let himself go this offseason. Beaker Kardashian.
lol Kurts fat dumpy
This is after I downloaded it. Not sure how to post one off the web. Any ideas?
Anybody notice the bell next to post comment that says it will notify you of replies? I wonder if that’s through email or what. We’ll see.
How to post a pic not on your device?
Possibly try copying and pasting the url into the text box? It didn’t work for me earlier, but I emailed them about it. I’ll bring it up tomorrow.
I got the address and one of those tiny colored boxes for when pics don’t show up.

Animated gifs from Giphy work by just pasting the link into the text box
So does Copy Image Address and pasting
I have tried that several times and it did not work
What browser? I am using Chrome.
And then… everything was… Good.
Some of my issues/add ons for the developers:
I don’t know if they’re coding or adding plugins. I’m sure there’s something out there for us.
I’ll make sure to mention all of these. Some may take time, but I’ll ask them to address these.
Thanks GF, no problem. Another thing would be an edit comment option.
You should be able to edit. Click on the wheel at the upper right of the text box.
Correction, lower right.
Yep , it works and seems to last forever
Yup I think this hits all my comments as well. Good list to start from. If even half of these get added this site will be tittays.
Also I just copy/pasted link from giphy and it played automatically on my page. Not sure if that worked for everyone
YESSS it bypasses my work VPN. Clutch!
Your profile image is disturbing.
lol
It looks like the soup nazi.
Gonna go to NFL.com and watch the 2019 game against the Eagles on Game Pass. One of my favorite Vikings games.
I think the tab key just scrolls you down
Yeah not the z key
The stupid slow down typing back to back comments is annoying
How do I find new unread comments?
Will there be a “z” key?
How do I add a gif? Will the image have to be on my computer?
Who will be banned first?
No banning and the z key is “tab”
z key doesn’t do anything
It exists it’s “tab”
Tab don’t do shit, takes me up to the options at the top of the page
If you do it right (smirk), it will move you along the discussion. However, it just takes you sequentially through, it does not take you to just the new comments.
What’s up losers?
Nice to see you too Rob
New guy alert.
All are welcome
Damn, I think I started that
I’m pretty sure you did.
Very nice to see you here young man. How is life in Florida?
dude I don’t have 8 hours of free time to do this 11 step program
Can you change the background? Blinding.
Well I figured it out….
looks like Haskins was all messed up on booze and drugs. BAL was .2
Saw that
Freeway not a good place to run outta gas
We had a breathalyzer at the front desk at our barracks so soldiers could make sure they were good to drive before driving. We used to come in from a night of partying & see how high we could register.
The medics in our barracks had standing orders to immediately start an IV for any soldier they thought had alcohol poisoning. Every few months they’d have to actually give one to a soldier who was too drunk, but mostly they’d just give them to guys who were hungover. It was a great cure.
GF, tweets I embeed have to be approved it looks like. Can we get that removed?
Problem is probably due to that fact you’re trying to embeed tweets, when you need to embed them.
Looks perfect from my end but says “awaiting approval”
Yes
Okay you can embeed tweets but have to use the old format like old school DN or DG
basketball sucks.
as bad as girls soccer
Test:
FYI, if there are more than two links in a comment, it’ll go into pre-approval.
Kirk with the Stache 🙂
Looks like a child molester
Ben, I like the new twist on your name.
To change your profile pic, you have to go to the login page where you registered. Once you click login you enter how to edit your profile. (I did this through phone and not desktop).
From there scroll to bottom and change your pic but it takes you to a secondary website called Gravatar. Sync your email with whatever you used there and it shows up like 10 min later
You should be able to change those settings from this page. Just scroll to the top, upper right hand side to your avatar, click on it & edit profile.
I think you’re the only person that has that
Would be nice to change pic without signing up for gravatar
I second this, maybe there will be another solution. If not, so what, I´ll just use that Gravatar thingy.
Oh, boy, a flag feature. I’ve never flagged anyone before in my 14 years of DN,DG,DI, here. Who should get the first honorary flag here??
I flagged you for bringing it up.
Thanks Kodiak. The “I” workaround is clutch
Old PPB trick in making his fake accounts
It’s a pain to change your profile pic but I figured it out
HOW????
Go to logon page and then when you login it should pull up profile. Then go follow the promts. You have to go to a secondary website which sucks
I can’t even get to my profile now, only when I first registered.
Apparently, you can do things on a phone you cannot do in a desktop browser.
liveforadrenaline was too long.
That’s what she said
Link test
Way to embeed yet?
Awaiting approval on my other comment…. Will see.
Trying to figure it out.
Yah you can embeed but it has to be approved
It’s good to be home!
New name?
Hell of an article. Look forward to another.
What article?
Skoldiers here. Skoldiers got locked cause my email never showed up. Same thing with Freeze.
Worked in gmail instantly.
GF, is there a way to reset it so I can use that username or no?
Wow, good question. I’ll have to ask them tomorrow when I talk to them. What type if email address were you using that didn’t work?
Freeze and I both using outlook. Outlook.com for me
I believe it said it couldn’t be changed. He could have some special powers.
Use a capital I for the L in your username grasshopper
Oh good call
Ask pete about that, he’s the expert.
Hold the presses!! Was doing some experimenting and found out the tab key is just like the Z key. Everyone give it a try and see if it works for you too.
No shit.
Look at that.
Just goes comment to comment by username I think. Needs to go to unread comments
That’s awesome!
Can’t get to my profile either GF.
I get to my profile on my phone and close browser then reopen it. Problem is it pulls it up every time and it’s annoying
Gone Fishin is my hero
New name? Old profile?
Extremely long time lurker through the DN and DG days. Finally decided to comment on the discord thread. Nice to meet you.
Grab an oar and embrace the suck!! Do you really drive Hercs? Big friggen plane
Was in the Air Force for 20 years, I did fly Hercs and some other stuff. Retired a couple years ago. I’m a govt contractor now, teaching youngins to fly Hercs in the simulator. Great gig, still feel a part of the community without having to go to shitholes where all the neighbors want to kill me.
longtime lurker, posting for the first time. Been following you deplorable’s around since the blue haired Mafia took over the world. Good work b-rad
Welcome, embrace the suck! 0-62 here we come! Interesting you followed us from vox and never commented.
Looks like we can edit for quite a while
Welcome! I would say thanks, but the developer folks did this, we have them to thank.
