I once randomly drew the '14 Browns as a team to take over, but never played a single game due to being overwhelmed by 200 free agents - players I know zero about.

I still want to go 1901-current at some point in my life with some team. It could be awesome.

That is a good point you make. I will keep it in consideration.

Thanks for the suggestion. I might go ahead with that.

So I am not familiar with historical baseball at all. I started up a game using the 1911 St. Louis Browns and it seems like I have 42 players on my roster, with no minor leagues? Is it supposed to be like this, or have I done something wrong?

It also seems that trades are not allowed. Therefore, how am I supposed to improve the team? Thanks

I'm not quite sure how all that happened because that isn't normal.

Did you maybe enable historical transactions? I believe that would be the only option that would not allow trades.

I didn't know where to do this, but just thought I'd share a dynasty I've really enjoyed following. I think he does a great job.

I'm currently trying to use the blog system to keep my history-rewriting 1871 game posted here. I'm not sure I understand how this works, though.

I think the 'local category' is kind of a folder where all the blog entries are assembled in, is that correct? How do you find related posts of the same blog when you've read one of them?

Also, is there an option to include thumbnail pictures? My screenshots are a little big and they stretch the blog entries to extend the screen size which looks terrible in firefox. If I scale them down, the numbers become difficult to read. Any advice here would be appreciated.

My advice? Ditch the blog and start a thread in the Dynasty forum. The blogs are little-used and easily-forgotten.

I don't even know why this thread is stickied (or the other one, for that matter). I wish the mods would unsticky them. I've asked before, to no response.

Posted in the wrong place. My bad. Feel free to delete this!

georgecraft12 · 09-08-2018, 04:27 PM

Thanks for adding this option! I hope that every single writer will notice this pleasant sign of appreciation!

BigRed75 is way ahead of me... I'm several years late on this one.

Still hope they will pay attention and remove the Stickys.
