The Common Problem

For a long time we have heard frustration from members that they miss out on private signings for players they want or need.

Last week long time member twinsnut posted a suggestion on our message board:
Private Signing Notification for Favorite Players

Alerts on SCN

We have revamped the way our system sends private messages so that our admin account will now send "alerts".

Now when there is a new Private Signing posted for a player you have tracked in the My Favorite Players feature, you will receive an alert in your Inbox as shown below:

alerts

Alerts will also appear in your Inbox for the following scenarios:

  • Trade Proposals and Agreed upon Trades
  • Approved or Rejected Private Signings

Upgraded photo upload functionality
Friday, May 23, 2025

I launched the Photos and Collections in March 2008 and the community has uploaded of over 800,000 photos to the site. 17 years is a LONG time!!! Back then we all accessed the internet from our desktop computers (iPhones and Android became mainstream years later), so I optimized the photo upload functionality around of the technology of the time.

Today we rolled out a new version of the Photo Upload with better performance, compatibility with more image formats and some new features collectors have been wanting!!!

Tour of new Photo Upload

At first the photo upload page looks similar to before (description and file fields are required, with options to specify player and album):

new_photoupload

Once you select a file, you will see a preview of the image in the size it will be saved at (resized with a maximum height and width of 600 pixels) as shown below:

new_photoupload_preview

I know many folks find it frustrating that photos uploaded from phone cameras are sometimes rotated. You may notice that in the preview image, there is a "Rotate" button:

new_photoupload_rotate_butt

If you click "Rotate" button, it will rotate the preview image 90 degrees to the right as shown below:

new_photoupload_rotated

Where is this on the site?

The Preview and Rotate functions are available on:

We have updated all areas of the site (including the Message Board and Private Messages) to support all image formats that a web browser can recognize. If your file is not in a recognized format, you will be alerted to select an image file.
