Using the Forums for RCL business

[Steve]

Sean, RJ, Anthony and Corey -

Not sure how familiar you guys are with the forum - apologies if you know your way around already.

It's really pretty straightforward. As you'll have just seen, Grey has created the Razzball Commenter League section (it's where this post lives!) for us to post all our RCL shizz.

Once you've got your league organised (or sooner if you want), you just need to go to the main forum index page and look for the link to the Razzball Commenter League Section (it's near the bottom).

One you're in that section, just click the 'New Topic' button. That (funnily enough) will open up a new topic screen. It's pretty self-explanatory from there - give the topic a title and then type your message into the main text box. You can include links (to your league page, for example) simply by pasting in the URL, or if you want to make it look nicer, you can use the URL button-thing in the row of button things above the text screen.

You can attach images to the post using the 'Upload Attachment' section below the main text area. It's easy - just like adding an attachment to an email. This is what you'll need to add screenshots of your league standings when you do them. If you need help grabbing a screenshot, let me know. It seems to prefer that you use only certain image formats - .GIF seems to be pretty reliable.

You can also link away to images using the 'Img' button-thing in the row of button-things. Just have a play around with the different functionality - it's pretty hard to screw up.

Oh - don't forget to tick the "Notify me when a reply is posted" checkbox - that way you can keep up with what people are posting.

Hope this hasn't confused you - PM me if you've got any questions!

Thanks for this, Steve.

I'm going to setup a Twitter group for our RCL league so that text messages can be sent to members.

Also, Grey, when are you and Rudy going to start podcasting? Get with it, man... it's the 90s already.

Iowa - I'll let you know when it's fully formed.

Almost there.

Cool... FYI... I've created a Razzball Twitter group called @RazzballLeague. I haven't done anything with it yet... guess I'd like to wait to see what Grey thinks about it first before we proceed (since we're using the Razzball name). The idea here is to make sure that people know it's their turn to draft, letting the world know that they're looking to make a trade, etc.

I prefer these things happen within the forum, but you do what you do.

We'll keep it in the family.

I was thinking that this was going to be a slow draft. No need for the Twitter thing if it's a fast draft.
