Yesterday, Pirates Prospects got an upgrade with a new commenting system.
As many of you know, the old comments were nearly impossible to use on certain mobile devices. There were some positive benefits to that old system. Fortunately, I was able to find a new system that had all of the best features from the old comments, along with some great features that will fuel the discussion across the site.
Best of all, it works on mobile now!
The comment threads provide live updates, which are great for our Daily Pirates Discussions. They allow you to embed links from other sites and social media networks, along with GIF reactions and a site-wide voting system.
That voting system has tiers for positive votes.
Everyone starts off as a Prospect.
After 50 likes, you reach Double-A. 100 gets you Triple-A status. 250 takes you to MLB status.
After 500 likes, you reach Stargell Star status.
I’m sure some of our regular users will be there shortly.
The comment button at the bottom left corner is your shortcut to the comments, and will alert you when there is anything new.
The notification bell in the menu bar at the top of the site will let you know if anyone has responded to any of your comments across the site.
The sidebar of every post has a section that features the latest comments, along with the highest rated comments and discussion threads of the last week.
The comments work off your Pirates Prospects site account, so there’s no need to sign up for a new service. You might need to reset your password, though.
Your account page, which can be found in the site menu, has a section where you can change your avatar, if you want a custom look.
The comments from the old system will be imported soon, restoring all of the old discussions.
The final thing I’ll be focusing on is giving you guys the ability to customize your screen names. I’m hoping to have that added in the next day.
If you notice any issues, or have any suggestions, leave them in the comments!
If you’re having any issues commenting, you can email me at tim@piratesprospects.com.
