@onderozturk06 And according to this report today they've postponed 3 upcoming matches

Can you do the same unlock of all terminated Chinese players? Set all active 19/20 players to empty?

@Sherlock that's the plan

@Sherlock They stopped the SF Busto/Novara match last night after 2 sets because the floor was too slippery. They finished it this morning at indoor stadium.

@HugoMichael players were slip sliding around on the floor. I don't speak Italian so I can't say this first hand but users in another forum said the evening's humidity made it so. They are going to play the rest of the match tomorrow morning and the Final at night .. in an indoor hall

@Sherlock a bit of a fail in the end LOL. too bad it looked really cool

@Sherlock I saw one of those pics posted on another site, thought it was a photoshop stunt :) I'm still not confident I'm not being punked. 

Did Neriman post on her private Instagram?

@breakingice  looks like someone's working on that, just a few left?

@Dorien  I treat these links like the ones my grandmother forwarded to me back in the 90s over the email :) 

I love the one where she receives the serve and Malinov rewards her with the set and she smacks it right back

@Boston_CRS  that's what I've heard as well

It works if you paste the link into the link box, but not if you just paste the link into the text box.
I wish folks would actually say something about the link. Aren't we all programmed to not click on blind links these days? I never do it.

@Volleybox That's cool. As long as it's front and center, I guess it doesn't matter what it's called. It appears to be working. 

I'm curious/confused about how to follow "what's new". I got an email notification for this 'recalls you' post. Clicking on it just brought me to the top of the 'microblog'. I had to scroll and hunt for this post. Clicking the 'notification' icon highlighted this thread alone. That works well. But what if you would have added something to this thread without 'recalling' me specifically? Would I have some way of knowing about it?

I think Pornpun will join Toyota, but that's not a source

@Volleybox Very cool. I'd still call it "Chat", though. It's more inviting. I have no idea what a microblog is

That Polish site system would be an improvement. I prefer the way the current one is supposed to work with landing on "New Messages" and then getting newer going down, but that doesn't work for non-logged-in users and it has to be laser accurate. Scroll bugs are not welcome :)

As to creating mini-threads if someone responds to a specific chat, that seems like a good idea but what happens when they do? Would it bump the original post to the top of the chat if you use the Polish site way? 

Creating threads in the Chat could be a nice way to surface interesting chats, but I'm not sure enough of them exist yet. Maybe having threads would help make it happen.

Presently the live chat is heavy on player ads. I imagine that will change once the seasons get underway, but it seems like a really nice way for players who may not be fluent in English to get something out there and fellow speakers can help them? 

Just for kicks, I looked to see if the most recent player ads in the live chat had also added their name to the "looking for club" list. Not a single one has. It would be nice if you could hire a moderator fluent in several languages to help guide folks in getting it done :) Maybe add a direct "Looking for a Club?" link under the JOBS menu?

I just clicked on "Looking for a Club?" link and found it a little confusing and intimidating (and I'm an English speaker), but that's a topic for another day

In addition to Native Names and Homepage Fields I've recently begun adding a Google Maps link to Arenas. It'd be cool to have a "Map" link, but for now I'm putting them in the LinkedIn field. Great way to get the address right and it is also a decent source for images (which Google makes difficult to procure but not impossible).
