Hey m0nty
I was wondering if it would be worth having a child board for player profiles in SC and AF and eventually DT.
There are so many of them done for each season and it would make it easier for everyone to find them and to refer back to them during the season if they had there own board.
And technically they don't belong in the P&T section

Agree with this suggestion m0nty so be a great idea to set up the additional child board under the three headings.  Thought maybe one child board initially but with the difference in scoring sytems need one for each comp.

We could probably just have one board and adapt the Player Profiles to discuss both SC and DT/AF in future. Most profiles are basically double ups anyway

This sounds like the best way forward.

How would I deal with existing threads though... merge the SC/DT/AF profiles of the same player into one thread, or keep them separate?

I guess if a certain player profile (for example - Dane Swan) is done by the same member, you could merge it into one thread.

However, if two different members have done the same player, for this year, keep them separate and just add 'SC' 'DT' or 'AF' in the thread title.

Sounds like a lot of work...  :o

LOL, if it's so easy you try doing that a thousand times.

Now that I think about it...  :-X

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to change the title of a bunch of threads at once. The only way would be to fiddle with the database directly, which is fraught with danger if I don't get it just right.

The merging of two threads of the same player (both DT/AF and SC) can still be done though?

I guess we could probably just send a message out to all profile authors to add DT/AF or SC to their profile title...  ???

I have taken the plunge and edited the database directly... and I didn't seem to stuff anything up.

Seems to have worked as well.

Nice work.  :D

Looks great m0nty and with the prefix easy to distinguish if you want specifics.

Nice work m0nty
Thank you :)

Did you count them all?
If so you really do have way to much time on your hands

I dont think that's even 100 cycles :P

just quickly count how many repetitions in a line and multiply by lines :P

Yep what Zip said took like 15 seconds

i'm not liking them having there own board tbh

it's getting much less traffic then the players and trades boards

and if someone want to discuss a player they make a new thread in the players and trades boards

if the profiles were there mods could merge threads at least

or maybe the should be doing that now anyway?

i think it's better to have all discussions on a player in one thread as it's easy to look up what people think on the player 

Did not happen last year KB and I suspect the same thing will happen this year - Discussions on individual players will continue to be raised in Players and Trade threads as they are now.  Player Profiles are OK for pre competition but once the competitions starts people will start the individual posts and will not update the profile.

As mods we would be forever merging threads - Take today for example 6 new posts on players have gone up and to be fair not all are in player profiles either.

I see the current set up as great as it separates the profiles out and if coaches want to refer to it during season is easy to do.
