Well, that certainly rules out an East/West split (for those who still thought that was a possibility).

. . . says the man from Columbus.

I was still hoping for the east/west split. The question is does this now increase or decrease the likelihood of an OSU/UM split?

An east/west split would have guaranteed OSU/UM sharing a division; this is a signal that an east/west split is not happening, which increases the odds that OSU and UM will be split apart.

Foramtting question for ya Tyler … any chance you can work with the platform so the Fan Shots (like Fan Posts are) can be visible from other pages than just the main page? Right now, you always have to return to the main page to view them … kind of tough to follow that way.

I’ll see what I can do. I’m a fan of the way LGT has set up their FanShots on the left side, and I’d like to keep that, if possible. If we move them to the right side, they can be seen easier within a thread, but they are difficult to scroll to on the main page.

If a clear consensus forms, I’ll gladly change it to whatever that may be.

no i like the FanShots on the left, what I am saying is you cant see them on any other page except the home page. Like LGT, when you click on an article, it will still show both Fan Posts and FanShots on the right. Currently, only the FanPosts are this way on your site. I’ve been meaning to ask Chris at DBN to fix this as well.
