March Madness Chat: I created a March madness room on the campfirenow site and am idling away on the #sportsfilter chat in case anyone is watching the tournament and want some company. For more information, check the wiki entry on sportsfilter chat.

Formatting: I was having trouble with the width of the comment/posting field today on a 12" powerbook.

The ads are overlapping the comment/post field. I have to maximize the browser window and still can barely see the editing buttons or the grab to resize the text field manually..

Championship Sunday: There's a good chance I will have my laptop open while watching the conference championship games this afternoon. So I invite others to sit around the campfire and/or sit in on the IRC channel.

Google Ads in Gmail: I am starting to notice that most of the text "ads" items being shown to me in my gmail (above the archive, report spam, etc buttons) are for threads on SportsFilter.

Sigh: I miss my personalised user page on which I spent so much time. First my locker room interview goes poof and now this.

Draft Day: So, it's NFL draft day and the chat rooms are empty. If anyone's interested in, I'll be in both places for a bit.

MetaFilter Social Explorer: pb mentioned the Social Explorer in MetaTalk and thought it might be of interest here. For example, here is a list of people on MetaFilter who list themselves as "also on" Sportsfilter: http://www.metafilter.com/contribute/socialexplorer.mefi?sid=23

Not exactly eponysterical, but close: It is amusing to see these two threads posted consecutively. "Definition" of eponysterical

SportsfIlter last.fm Group: I set up a SportsFilter group on last.fm and invited those people who I saw (on the Wiki) had last.fm accounts.

Missing Link?: Why am I not seeing this thread under January 25 anymore? It doesn't appear to be closed, but it also isn't showing up on the front page. I checked in a few browsers. Man, I hope it is just that I am tired and am missing something.

Wiki Report: Rather than continue to hijack the thread below, I wanted to update folks on the State of the Wiki. [more inside]

Consistency in FPP formating: On the front page a post does NOT have a colon. Once one clicks on "post a comment" to follow the thread the colon appears. Me no likey. You?

Wiki Reminder: Just a reminder that the site does in fact have a wiki and we are working on it. I have recently installed the Bad Behavior extension to help curb the rampant spam and *hope* that will help. I have also played with the look and feel of the wiki so that it looks more like the rest of SportsFilter. Lastly, I have added the FAQ and the Guidelines to the wiki, with the idea that the original versions on Sportsfilter.info can be redirected to the wiki. Everyone is encouraged to sign up for a wiki account (please use your SpoFi username) and to add/edit content in a responsible manner.

Soccer coaching tips?: I don't know who asked, or when they asked, but I do recall someone seeking advice here in the Locker Room on coaching soccer (girl's?). What I do recall was reading the excellent advice members gave. There is a similar question on Ask Metafilter, I wanted to point out in case folks were inclined to help.

Champions League Cup Chat: Two ways to chat for today's match between AC Milan and Liverpool: * SportsFilter Campfirenow * Internet Relay Chat (IRC) IRC requires a chat client. Firefox users can install the easy-peasy ChatZilla.

SportsFilter Wiki: I didn't even realize there was a wiki until the thread about favorite books came up. But apparently there is one, and since it's there, any interest in using it? I added my member page, but I am not sure where to start as far as adding more content. Not sure how to use a wiki? Check out this guide on WikiPedia.

NFL Draft Day: And there are options for real-time chat, analysis, wagers, frustration, and drinking games: Campfire and IRC We are taking delivery on a brand new couch today and I am hoping it will be in place by the time the 4th or 5th pick is made.

NCAA Hoops Chat: I assume some folks will head over to the campfire site, but in case anyone wants to use good ole fashioned IRC, I have registered a channel on slashnet's server: irc://irc.slashnet.org/sportsfilter Stop by during the tournament to follow the action.

Dated Sample Post: In light of the Colt's recent Super Bowl victory perhaps it is time to retire justgary's sample post that accompanies the "post a link" page and use another example? If so, what posts are good candidates to make the jump to The Show?
