I believe for S69 and going forward, 7 rounds were created automatically. S68 would be the last season where only 4 rounds were created automatically, I ought to create the other 4 rounds manually probably.

Good call!

Yup as long as STHS = Portal before you Output, should be good.

did he not retire ?

New features will be available to all GMs except you

I've had an itch to do some writing lately and what better to talk about than the VHL Portal. I'll be doing these sporadically to get feedback/suggestions, tease new features, and rant about my struggles. For the past while my focus has been revisiting older areas to clean up the code base, of course making small improvements along the way (for example, the various statistic pages that I upgraded in the last release were, in fact, the very first pages that existed on the Portal). While this isn't the most exciting work, it is ultimately necessary as, over time, the code base has grown large and some areas are/were quite unruly to work with. I now find myself in the depths of the whole Team Management system, by far the largest (and messiest) 'area' of the Portal. It has gotten so large and disjointed that it was challenging to make basic improvements and extremely daunting to even consider adding all-new features. This was of course untenable as Team Management needs many improvements. And so I am now at work on the only logical solution, re-writing every page and function. Quite a painful process indeed but one that will make it much easier to build on later, plus its a good chance to incorporate some of the improvements and features people have been asking for. A few of the more public improvements/features I'm hoping to have at the end of this process: Improvements to the automated forum posts/notifications related to transactions A VHL/VHLM transaction tracker that'll allow people to keep track of everything from signings to trades to retirements in one place All new Trade interface, potentially supporting 3 way trades Improvements to the Drafting interface, plus support for passing on picks Improvements to Free Agency/Waivers interface, including a listing of FA signings so far that season Allowing GM's to set Assistant GM's, giving them to access the Team Management area(s)

The issue is a mismatch in team abbreviations between the Portal and STHS (the Portal uses Abbreviations to match teams in STHS with teams in the Portal). Mexico City is MEX in the Portal and MCK in STHS Mississauga is MIS in the Portal and MSH in STHS I changed them both in the Portal to their STHS values to confirm the poster was working still. If you'd rather them be MEX/MIS just update in the Portal and STHS before your next sim. Edit: I see it was @Quik that changed them in the Portal so we should smack em.

fucking hell that thing is annoying

Miami be underwater not a good investment

Yeah nothing we can do about #2. Can confirm #3 is in the works. Expect big Team Management changes and improvements over the next season!

Yeah i just need to reset and it'll be good. I'm trying to eliminate use of a lot of those Constance items because of this so hopefully shouldn't be an issue in the future.

I would agree. Should be an automated post for when people purchase a position change and GMs should post here manually when they change inactives.

Your non-attraction is the weird thing here m8

Love it

All fair suggestions. I will soon be shifting my Portal attention to all things Team Management so I think we should be able to get some good updates in by next off-season. For this stuff in particular - I agree with @Renomitsu that a big shortcoming atm is the ability to keep track of whats going on in the Portal. For this I have a Transaction Center in the works that will (hopefully) provide an easy way to keep track of things in one place - not just FA signings but also regular re-signings, bonuses, trades, send-downs/call-ups and retirements - all filter-able by type of transaction, season, team, all that jazz. Also hoping to piggyback off of that to add a Player Movement section to Player Pages similar to what we used to have on the forum. As far as the FA threads..there could a few options. One would be to create an FA thread for a player when they get their first offer and then subsequent offers could be posted in the same thread (perhaps could allow GMs to type a message in the Portal to include in the automated post).

We can't hide behind small mercies................................................................

Just came to say I'm a big Father John fan ?

Nah 9 or 10 depending on the day mate

Good to get away from that Targaryen hating turd @Beaviss

Banned

Updated RFA/Waiver/Release rules as described here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/53506-small-changes-for-s63/ Updated Salary Cap figure Updated carryover and recreation rules Added official tampering rules to Free Agency section I'm sure there's more but these would be the obvious ones

Yup, never saw the RFA rules used once in my time here.

Wow I'm late to the party but finally watched season 8. I agree with all of your comments, S8 really let the rest of the show down in spectacular fashion. I don't hate the ending but find some parts kind of dumb like 7 seasons of making Cersei the #1 villain and she dies via building collapse and has next to no dialogue all season. Felt like it was much more Jaime's ending rather than Cersei which doesn't make sense to me. Also, I get he's the 3 eyed raven and all but it just feels like a stretch that the other 6 kingdoms would accept both an independent north and a northern ruler for themselves. Anyway totally agree the whole thing felt rushed. I thought maybe it was one of those things where people hate it just because it's the end but now I see why it has such bad ratings.

It is unfortunate but not much I can do unless someone wants to put every Team Scoring page of every index up S40 or whatever into a spreadsheet, even that would only get us to S20 tho. Probably a good case for discarding the first 20 seasons given we don't even have indexes tho

@Greg_Di I believe this is what happened - in the logs I can see 60 TPE was spent on April 22 - but if you look at update log 29 TPE was updated as of the Week Ending April 21. Add the 30 starting and only should have been 59 available to spend. Anyway, nothing to sweat about. You can keep the extra TPE for your trouble and I will just adjust your total TPE so it matches up. ?
