    An introductory user guide for mySBR
    First things first
    Before getting into the neat features and other fun ways to take advantage of your personalized profile pages, lets first go over how to access your page.
    • Accessing your page: yourusername.mysbrforum.com
    • CrazyL would be 'crazyl.mysbrforum.com'. For names with underscores in them, simply type the text only version of their name. SBR_John is sbrjohn.mysbrforum.com.
    Now that we know how to access our mySBR profile pages, lets take a further look at the different kinds of features offered in our totally free profile hangouts.
    • Blogging: Are you the type of person that has a Myspace, Livejournal, or Facebook page? If so, with mySBR you can make use of the same blogging abilities, access a 'blog tree' of previous entries, sort by calendar date and much more. Here are some pictures to help familiarize you with a basic interface of the blogging tool.

    • Play Tracking: Not a whiz with Excel? No sweat! We've completely simplified the pick tracking aspect for you, and even tally your W/L % and unit +\- for you. All that's required of you is entering the plays and selecting the sport! Wagering on a sport not listed? No sweat, simply highlight the League tab and type whatever you want in! Complete customization is right at your finger tips, here are some pictures to help become acquainted with the spreadsheet feature.

    Fill all fields out as required; when the play is over simply click the 'Win', 'Loss', or 'Push' tab. Sounds easy enough, right?

    Let's take it one step further and get you familiar with how to share your spreadsheet picks in the forum. Remember earlier we talked about how to access your mySBR page? Go to it.

    Step one
    CrazyL goes to crazyl.mysbrforum.com.

    Step Two
    Click the "Add Content" button with green sign. These buttons allow you to add what we call 'modules' to your page. A module is basically your pages interior decorator, we have a module for all features offered.

    Step Three
    Click the "My Plays module", and a window of your spreadsheet plays will automatically be added to your page (as pictured below).





    Notice at the very bottom of the spreadsheet module window, you'll see a "+" sign. This is used to add the dropdown menu where you can copy and paste the [spreadsheet] code. That's all you need to enter into a post to display your spreadsheet!
    • Multimedia: Going back to the "Add Content" buttons, you can add a Youtube video, SBR TV video, and even upload Photos! You can prioritize the module categories as seen below.


    Image Hosting: Host up to 3MB pictures on our fast, user friendly, and efficient photo album! Upload as many pictures as you want at once!

    Want a picture bigger or smaller? Simply click the Photo links and copy/paste the size of your choosing in the forum as pictured below!



    Thanks for taking a look at some of the cool features mySBR has to offer. There are plenty more to be explored but we'll leave some of that adventure up to you. There are many more gadgets, networking options, and design options to completely personalize your page to your liking. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback please feel free.

                    Just a quick note that over half of the functions on the mySBR page, including getting the code to post one's spreadsheet, are completely broken for someone using Internet Explorer 7 or any other browser that utilizes the mshtml.dll engine. More of the functions work in Opera, but still not total functionality.

                    Whitey & Co. have made it clear that SBR is coded to be viewed on Firefox primarily, but since IE still holds greater than 60% of the browser market share at the present, it'd be nice not to have to open a Firefox window just to do a few functions on SBR. I just didn't want other IE users to try to follow some of Lou's great advice and get frustrated because the site doesn't do what he said it would.

                    The Options function of the chat where one can change their font and text color completely crashes any IE based browser.

                      i guess since you're using IE badly, you should invest some money on some literature to help you out:


                      just giving you a heads up there

                        What ivan meant to say was that he fixed the bug that was causing IE to quit working when you tried to change the font styles.

                            Thanks Whitey. I thought Ivan's comment was quite cute, a lot of men have tried to get into my pants by calling me a dummy.

                              I don't think he was trying to be funny. He was pretty concerned about you at the office. Do you really know what mshtml.dll is thought? I think that's the question of the day. I don't think the book that ivan recommended covers that unfortunately.

                                  mshtml.dll is the packaging for the Trident rendering/layout engine developed by Microsoft way back in IE4, sir.

                                    That kind-of made sense, but when I find the website you copied that from...

                                    I goggled your definition and found nothing so far, don't assume that means you're off the hook yet son. Watch your back...

                                                  Hi RogueScholar,

                                                  Are you still noticing difficulty when using mySBR with IE? If so, can you provide me with a few more examples that you've noticed so that we can have the techs take a closer look?

More of the functions work in Opera, but still not total functionality.

                                                  Whitey & Co. have made it clear that SBR is coded to be viewed on Firefox primarily, but since IE still holds greater than 60% of the browser market share at the present, it'd be nice not to have to open a Firefox window just to do a few functions on SBR. I just didn't want other IE users to try to follow some of Lou's great advice and get frustrated because the site doesn't do what he said it would.

                                                  The Options function of the chat where one can change their font and text color completely crashes any IE based browser.

                                                    Hi TheGreat30,

                                                    I have never given you an infraction. In fact I rarely do unless something I spot is far over the line. I try to play 'good cop'.

                                                    Regards,
                                                    Lou

                                                      I am going to see how easy it is to create my page. I'l let you know.

                                                        Does the youtube feature work? Before submission it just appears a yellow box, but views well under the Preview when inserting the embed code.

                                                        Thanks

                                                        I need a phone number to SBR tech support.

                                                            Yes it works.

                                                            On the forum it's just [SBRTV]http://www.sbr.tv/video-5011-The_Deep_Dive_Syndrom_Le_syndrome_du_sca phandrier_HD_.html[/SBRTV].

                                                            On mySBR forum you click Add Content-> Youtube, then just add the URL or embed code and click save.
