Default This Twitter Ticker...

Get rid of this goddam thing, anytime I sign in this place I am forced to eavesdrop on nonsense that I can really give two shits about yet must witness every single post for the duration I am using the forum. Simple Minimize button to where that section folds up would make the world of difference to myself and i'm sure plenty of other people. Advertisements that roll across half the screen when my mouse inadvertently goes over it are a necessary evil so this is fine and I understand, this ticker bullshit I should not be forced to be subjected to however. Do something about this thing once and for all to where it at least can be minimized for those who do not want to be subjected to it.

I love the twitter ticker. Nicely tucked away in the corner where I get to choose whether or not I look at it. Where's yours located empty319?

wtf is "empty319", yes I understand MT improperly pronounced can sound like "empty", but what is that poor attempt at humor and/or insult even supposed to mean on it's absolute best day with a dumbed down audience.

How is it forced on you? It's tucked neatly onto one side and doesn't blink or scream for attention like the ads do...

if you had half a brain and took even a moment to research it you'd already have a plugin installed to block whatever nefarious content you find offensive.

gee it really sucks having a site with top notch free fantasy advice and have to endure a few ads and a twitter feed: First World Problems

Everytime I switch a screen the fcking thing pops up with new bullshit. I don't give a shit what Aaron Rodgers did why can't a simple courtesy like a minimize menu be put on the feature.

Hey man, I completely empathize with your situation. Similar to a video playlist on TSN or "recommended for you" on YouTube, the twitter ticker isn't ideal for every member here. I know you don't love twitter, so hearing ramblings or thoughts from people at Dobberhockey might not be something you want to be a part of.

That being said, the ticker is incredibly useful to the majority of the people on this site at one point or another. I can't even name the amount of times that the twitter ticker has made searching for any injuries or news 1000 times easier. Instead of searching the large forums, I can scroll down on the ticker and quickly see if Hemsky twisted his ankle, or Avery gets recalled from the AHL. Hell, even today the ticker informed me of the Ducks getting Hagman! It's a nice addition, and is a valuable tool.

However, nobody is forcing you to read, or even acknowledge the ticker. Setting up an option to make it visible/customizable is just unnecessary work for Dobbs and Angus, who have tons to do on the site. The ticker isn't sticking out or in the way of getting to the forums. It could be a nuisance for you, but just try and live with it, it's not a huge deal

If it's seriously bothering you, talk to Angus via email. There's no need to make this a huge controversy that could turn ugly.

No one cares about what you say either MT, half your posts are bitching about people but you don't see people creating useless threads about it.

How about you try www.dobberhockey.com/forums if you don't want to see the twitter feed.

What a joke
