Yeah, if there's one thing that sold me on DM, its the sidebars/box score stuff that's already on there. Sure it takes half an hour after a game to do a boxscore and write a recap, but when I ran my NCAA dynasty on here it would take me that long as well, and I probably had 20% of the info that I have now on DM.

You could become a real computer nerd and write your own dynasty site... in PHP that does all your HTML for you...

That's what I do! I've completely forgotten how to do html because for the past 3 or 4 years I've used Dreamweaver!!!

PHP != Dreamweaver...

1. Cover vast amounts of sports, including Racing, so everyone will be happy.

2. Make a easy interface, so everyone can go in and edit really easy.

3. Pre-Made templates, this would really help people like me who won't have time to make a perfect html template. So it still looks nice but we can edit easily.

4. Add spots for every nessecary thing.
IE. A roster sub-page where all you have to do it enter the information and it will auto-generate a roster page for you. It would be nice if we could get this for every sub-page. IE. Schedule, stats

5. This might be the hardest, but its still a suggestion INTERACTIVE BOX SCORES
So basically you put in the stats from a game and it goes and updates all the other pages because of the game you just played. IE, I go play a game and enter the box score, after I save the boxscore all my other pages such as Stats, Schedule, Standings, and Dynasty History/Records, will be updated with up-to-date information from my latest game

I am well aware

Anyways I'll post my thoughts on this tomorrow. I've got some good suggestions

[cocobee]

Make it user friendly for people like me who are not PHP or HTML kind of dynasty people. That's what has basically kept me away from DM.

But please give us something that will let each of us express our creativeness easier. If that makes sense.--Otherwords make it idiot proof.

I will definetly start to post my chises here if this is the case.

Dynasty Manager Suggestions

* First and foremost I would make it simple
- Have two options: Basic or Advanced (Custom HTML)

* Basic
- Allow a custom banner to be uploaded at the top of the page.
- On the front page have certain sport related links that will provide us with easy access to info. (Example sport [football]: Roster, Stats, Schedule, Award Winners, NFL Draft, etc.)
- Make the pages easy to update where the user can simply type in text and it will go into tables
- Tie in a color scheme with the team the user has selected so it will have some sort of uniqueness to it.

I could go on and on. If this is something OS is going to do and they would like my help just let me know. I'm a loser and I've been doing these things for about 4 years.

Honestly there's too much that goes into it to type it all out here.

Everyone who said "Keep it simple" isn't lying.

At the very least, have some sort of video demonstration of the features.

If it's usable for the barely computer-literate (such as myself) then I will be using it

Any idea when this will be released?
