Thanks mate. 42nd...lol oh well.

[didaka]

Are we able to setup and customize our own buddy's thread in the buddy board, or are the mods going to create them? I'd like to do mine myself.:thumbsu::)

I would like to do my own too. Everyone should start by writing up a profile of their player including career thus far etc, pics and links to video and all things to do with that player.

Oh procus! Might have to call on the services of a friendly web-manager if we have to do technical stuff.

[MagpieGirl_13]

Yep! When I get my player I would like to do my own thread, with stats, history etc.
This is so much fun!!!:thumbsu:

Rocca Report



Doesn't seem to have worked. Could be a dull year for Rocca-watchers.:o

Maybe Rocca's just gone missing again at a crucial time?

:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::D:D:D

Very funny MDC!

[Snag Breac]

No, my incompetence; but don't you worry MDC, the gladiator (Optimax's excellent nomenclature) will be very much present in 2008.

Now where's that F####### photo?

[Snag Breac]

:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::D:D:D

Very funny MDC!

What size did you make your avatar?

[mdc]

Now where's that F####### photo?

I was only kidding, of course.

Try imageshack, and then click on the image icon and paste the link. Should work.

[didaka]

I hope we can or it was a waste making this

Sorry, Can't see the picture...

Can't see your pic either, Didaka. Did you try to post via Word too?
Thanks for all the technical advice, but I can't use any web-based photo stuff as it's a violation of Parental Control. Yes, I am the parent, but the guy who set up my computer keyed in the wrong password and has no idea what he used. So now no one can get in to fiddle with it. Hoisted on my own petard!

Didaka's pic is showing up fine...

As for the parental control stuff, have you tried using a proxy website? They should be able to bypass the blocks in a lot of cases.

I asked Dids how many years until the Pies are lifting the Premiership cup...

[MagpieGirl_13]

Hold on, I can see Didaka's picture!

[didaka]

I have a Didak one if you want to use it pielebo if we're able.

I don't mind making them for people if they're interested and don't have photoshop.

[MagpieGirl_13]

Once I know my player I may be asking for your services if possible. They look great!

[dooda]

Likewise

[mightypies9]

yeah, same with me if you wouldnt mind, they're very professional well done on 'em

[didaka]

I'll make a thread for it in the magpies nest so it doesn't clog up the collingwood board or this thread. So any request for a pic of your buddy put them in a thread name "Magpies Buddy Images".

[Bloben]

What size did you make your avatar?

I just used google images and copied the link to my avatar bit in profile.

I actually took up the offer for free 14 days on quickflix thing that gave you one year free of the paid subscription to BigFooty. I then cancelled my quickflix after about 5 days and now I get bigger pictures.

A bit nerdy to do all of that for a bigger picture I know :D

[nick_savo]

Jabso will open the subforum and once everyone makes their thread the board will be closed to threads being made

I was hoping everyone can make their thread title:

EG:

#43 - Martin Clarke
or
#10 - Scott Pendlbury
ect

Just to make it all look in order than you can do what you wish with the thread inside but just post the title like that

[Jabso]

My order is

1. Cloke
2. Medhurst
3. Davis
4. Cox
5. Egan

[medhurstISGOD]

I was talking to the club today, trying to find out if they knew if the players numbers were changing - and she said at the moment the football department has only made one definite change - Marty's new number is now 18!! And there will be other changes but they wont be known until the end of next week!!!

Just thought I would let you all know before people started posting there own threads lol!!

[Pie 4 Life]

Woah, you need to work on counting skills... :thumbsd: :p

Well Asianwithafro has already taken his pick in advance technically. I hope he changes his pick because I want Harry O :(

My three favs went with the first three picks :(

[Optimax]

Woah, you need to work on counting skills... :thumbsd: :p

[Tarkyn_24]

Think a lot of people were in the same boat.

My three favs were all available for mine

See sig for details.

[MagpieGirl_13]

From what I have seen in the previous posts, all but 1 of my top5 are gone or will probably go. :thumbsd:

[dooda]

Someone PM in a month when its my pick. I should be happy i was the second last person to put my hand up at 43 and i ended up with pick 41. I wouldnt mind having one of the new draftees if thats alriite with everyone.

[Pie 4 Life]

From what I have seen in the previous posts, all but 1 of my top5 are gone or will probably go. :thumbsd:
Well occurding to the list you have Brad Dick's number, not Dale Thomas' :p

[MagpieGirl_13]

Well occurding to the list you have Brad Dick's number, not Dale Thomas' :p

Yeah, I noticed that! but i'm over it, it doesn't matter that much...

[jimmy35]

From what I have seen in the previous posts, all but 1 of my top5 are gone or will probably go. :thumbsd:I am open to trade proposals MG . :D

[Pie 4 Life]

I am open to trade proposals MG . :D

I'll give you whoever I have left for Daisy :p

[Bloben]

My order is

1. Cloke
2. Medhurst
3. Davis
4. Cox
5. Egan

I guess Jabso got Cloke

[MagpieGirl_13]

I am open to trade proposals MG . :D

I'll have to think about it, depends who I get.
I did have Daisy as my #1 but I'm happy with whoever I get.

[Marklar_33]

Yeah, lock in Jabso with Cloke I guess

That means my Top 2 are intact with 1 pick then me to go :thumbsu:

[Snag Breac]

http://i7.tinypic.com/89ikp5d.jpg

Just a reminder that the above player is NOT now available. :)

Actually, just have daughter handy and am experimenting with uploading photos. Steep techno learning curve today.

[luvlicca]

So, are we allowed to start a thread on our player or what??? Or do we have to wait till everyone has picked their player!!!

[MagpieGirl_13]

I think we have to wait. Then they will open a sub-forum where we post our player's thread.

[Marklar_33]

Id be thinking if you made a thread now, it could just be moved in later... as long as it obeys nick_savo's thread name instructions look :D

eg. #2 - Sean Rusling, resident speed demon

[luvlicca]

Yeah I wanna start now!! I'm itching for footy so I have to do something haha!!!

[MagpieGirl_13]

Seeing as other people have made it clear who they want, I would like (as pick 16) Tyson Goldsack. If any of the 5 people above me think it would be funny to pick him because I have... think again!!!! :mad::)
You will be off my Christmas card list!!!:D Grrrr.... Hands off the SACK!

[Marklar_33]

I dont suppose Majestic left a Top 5...?

Its too nerve-racking to think the Rus may not be available! Ive got myself too excited to be let down now!

[Marklar_33]

I can only guarantee that if The_Majestic does not select Sean Rusling!

And for proof Im not just doing this to bug you, I can get a screen shot of the PM I sent to nick_savo stating my Top 5 2 days ago... but here's hoping nothing happens, hey? :o

[scottyD]

Did the majestic even post in here or did Tarks just say he would be in it

Aww he was my next preference after Harry O...

I've already lost Daisy, Pendles, Dids and now probably Harry O. I want Goldy :(

Pwease...:o

If The_Majestic is going to ruin it for both of us, I wont be a happy camper!
Please The_Majestic, do the reasonable thing & pick someone besides Rusling or Goldsack. ...I'll send you a christmas card!!!:)...

Hands off the SACK!:D

[nick_savo]

Cloke was Jabso's number 1 so Jabso can have him, The Majestic is up

[scottyD]

He has never posted here!! or in the sign up thread!

[MagpieGirl_13]

Aww he was my next preference after Harry O...

I've already lost Daisy, Pendles, Dids and now probably Harry O. I want Goldy :(

Pwease...:o

Awww... I've already lost Daisy, Cloke now probably rusling & Harry, he was MY last one left... :(
He was my pick #3... :(

[nick_savo]

Tarkyn 24 told me 2 sign him up.... take it up with him

[Marklar_33]

Did the majestic even post in here or did Tarks just say he would be in it

Majestic was suggested onto the list by savo n tarks, and hasnt posted in either thread, so I am claiming #2 - Sean Rusling, and seeing as the backlog behind me is fighting for #38 - Tyson Goldsack, I will re-jig my Top 5 to show #36 - Dane Swan as my next pick if maj insists on picking the Rus

I cant believe Swan has slipped so far!

[MagpieGirl_13]

If he's never posted, maybe drop him back to #44 & bump every one else up one place so we can keep going...

[scottyD]

Yer!
also, how does he know its his go?

[Pie 4 Life]

Awww... I've already lost Daisy, Cloke now probably rusling & Harry, he was MY last one left... :(
He was my pick #3... :(

There's one more person I have my eye on who hasn't been taken. If he doesn't get taken I'll take him.

[Marklar_33]

Yer!
also, how does he know its his go?

I PMed him, cause Im FRIKKIN IMPATIENT! :p

[scottyD]

I have one aswell!

[MagpieGirl_13]

I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight if I havn't chosen a player...
Geez I'm impatient... come on... please.

[Pie 4 Life]

Umm guys, just looked on my other forum, TFFSL and a person posted this:

"Maj will not be able to post for a few weeks, as I believe he is looking for a new home/moving home."

Meaning The Majestic. So I suggest we move on.

[nick_savo]

Well Maj will hold his pick, but we will move on and when he gets back he can post who he wants straight away, whoever is next go ahead, you better not be crapping Pie4Life :p

[MagpieGirl_13]

Fair enough.

[mightypies9]
