So in the meantime, I'm going to be making some minor changes to the website part of the game. Stuff that if I break things by accident, it doesn't affect the outcome of games.
I will post changes in this thread over the next week or so as I make changes. If there is something minor you'd like to see, post it in Suggest Enhancements. If you post it in this thread, I won't do it.
Cosmetic Changes

We are in limbo a bit here because I don't yet have a beta/development area setup since the hard-drive failure a few weeks back. I'm in the process of setting up a brand new, bigger server, which will be professionally managed by another company, which will make the site more reliable and faster in general.So in the meantime, I'm going to be making some minor changes to the website part of the game.

I updated the menus so that there are sub-choices for Pitching and Hitting under Team and Individual Stats. This will save you a click to get to these pages.

I have made a slight change to the DL page. The Add To DL and Remove From DL boxes have been changed to be 2 seperate boxes to help alleviate confusion.

On the player cards, I have changed the order of the skills under Improvements so that it goes CvR, PvR, CvL, PvL - basically in the same order as the Depth chart.

I hit that link and it takes me to the message boards where I have absolutely ZERO new U2U messages. SO, how do I make this truly annoying purple link go away off my team homepage?

I have never used lvnwrth9...ever. I linked the team the first day I had it and have never used that login name since.

There isn't a good way to get you to go straight to your u2u page because the code doesn't know which screen name you might be logged in as on the message boards. So I just put a link to the boards.

I added astericks to the League Leaders page for Active players in the Single Season view.

I added the ability to Waive players from the minor league team.
BleedRed
Could we add a warning function to that - especially since you can't reclaim waived players?

Not a bad idea. It is rather "immediate", as I just experienced.
Along with a warning, you might also add a secondary warning page that points out if the player was involved in a pending trade offer.
More than once, I've accidentally cancelled a trade offer because I waived a scrub from my minors, only to realize that the scrub was the one I happened to set to promote if the trade was approved. Very annoying since I might not remember exactly what the original offer was.

I've changed around how the pages work for Pitcher energy. You can now get to it from the player Card or from the Energy bar. And you can click it for Starting Pitchers.
It will also show you how many days its been since your pitcher has pitched.

I've changed the way the Waiving from the minor league page works, based on your feedback.

What do you guys think about some kind of asterisk or background color on pitchers on the "rotation" page when they are not contributing to mentoring due to inactivity? (kind of like the orange that appears when guys are inelligible due to the trade deadline)
This way if you check your team you can quickly see if a guy just hasn't gotten into a game recently as opposed to looking at the boxscore and then having to go back and figure out why your C+ mentor grade was somehow a C- instead.

Tyson - I really like the ability to see the Energy of SP's now as I don't have to go back through my previous games to see if a guy has pitched recently enough to contribute to mentoring.What do you guys think about some kind of asterisk or background color on pitchers on the "rotation" page when they are not contributing to mentoring due to inactivity?
