You can find Throatybeard's (somewhat dated, yet still remarkably on point) DBR Handy Pocket Reference currently hanging out in a thread here.

9F, and other topics that recur, and recur, and recur, are given their proper due.

DBR Chat

DBR Chat opens 20 or 30 minutes before televised MBB, WBB, and FB games and closes shortly after. It's a little more fast paced than posting in regular threads. It only works in the "Blue" view, not "Mobile". If you're on a mobile device, you'll need to select "Blue" near the bottom.

Read more about it here.

BBS Posting Tips

Here are a few tips for our BBS system:

User Control Panel Towards the top of the page, there is a Settings link. This lets you edit your personal preferences for the Board. Many defaults can be can be changed in "Edit Options". Please make sure you have Time Zone set to "Automatically detect DST settings".

Posts per Page In the Settings > General Settings, you can choose how many posts you want to see per page if you use linear view (recommended, see below).

Go to First New Post Probably my favorite tip. This feature let's you pick up where you left off, jumping to the oldest unread message in a thread, without scrolling through to find it yourself. It keeps track across multiple devices. You must use Linear View (the one with all the posts on one or several pages). Useful for the really long threads, though you must be logged in for it to work. In any particular forum, just to the left of an unread thread's subject, there's a small, blue box with "New". Click that button to jump to the first unread message. (If you float your mouse over the button, it says "Go to first new post".) While reading a post, you can temporarily change the view if you want the context within the thread; click on "Display" just above the top post in the upper, right area of the screen.

Preview Post There is a "Preview Post" button you can click when creating a new message. If you're quoting, creating tables, or using other formatting codes (see below), please preview to check yourself before posting. You can edit for a few minutes after you post. If you're writing a really long post, it's best to create it in a different editor and copying the text in when you're done, or you may lose you post to a time-out error.

Quoting Rather than hitting Reply, use the Quote button and leave the link-back code (the part at the very beginning), so readers can jump back to the original quoted message. Do strip the parts of the quote out you're not addressing and leave the parts you are, but make sure to leave the "[quote]" and "[/quote]" tags intact.

Stats Put stats and other tables between the tags "[code]" and "[/code]" (see VB Tags, next) and it'll make your post much more readable. The easiest way I've found to set up tables is to use Excel and Notepad, Excel to set up the data and Notepad to strip everything except the text and tabs.

1) Set up your data in Excel
2) Copy and paste into Windows' Notepad (with the default Lucida Console font)
3) Tweak the tabs as needed to get it back into columns in Notepad (long records sometimes move them out of place)
4) Copy and paste between [code] and [/code] tags
5) Preview!

A slightly easier way is to just use the Courier font in the WYSIWYG editor (User CP > edit options), but note that the BBS system strips multiple spaces down to a single space which can really squeeze your table. The Code tag doesn't strip spaces.

Tables There is a table feature now. You have to use "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" (you can change it via Settings > General Settings). You'll see a row of buttons that are for creating and editing tables.

VB Tags Our board supports most of the tags listed here. You can use them to format your messages for better readability. Please don't bold entire posts, though, or otherwise make it too outlandish. "Better" not "Noisier".

Spoilers The Spoiler tag is used by placing the text between [spoiler] and [/spoiler]. This allows text to be
Spoiler!


Search Please use the search function before starting a new thread. Many topics have been covered already, and the Mods will probably just merge your new thread into the appropriate one - a balance between having threads pushed off the front page (and thus into purgatory) in just a few hours or keeping them on the front page for 24-48 hours.

Discussions about Tips can be found here.

Duke Fans, Friends & Alumni Compliance Information

We offer this link as a reminder that boosters need to stay away from recruits! You're considered a "booster" if you're an alum or fan or otherwise connected to Duke. As "this is a fan's joint," most of y'all are boosters.

Some of you have suggested contacting recruits. Don't! Perhaps follow them on Twitter, but don't "friend" them on Facebook.

Fans, Friends & Alumni Compliance Information


A few highlights:

Only coaches and authorized athletic staff members may participate in recruiting activities.

DON’T call or write letters to a prospect.
DON’T initiate contact with a prospect or a prospect’s parents or relatives.
DON’T visit a prospect’s educational institution.
DON’T contact a prospect's coach, principal, or counselor.
DON’T provide gifts.
DON’T arrange employment.

You may notify the Duke coaching staff of outstanding prospects in the area.

Hey! Let's be careful out there!

regards,

Good sources to track Devils in the NBA

If you want to follow the efforts of former Duke players as they play for money, here are a couple of suggested links for your use:

DBR member Grad_Devil has a scripted link that grabs official stats for our NBA guys every night after the games are complete, which makes it easy to do a quick check on last night's action. Grad_Devil's link: http://huckleberry.mhu.edu/devilStats.html

If you have other good sources for tracking Duke's former players in the NBA, shoot me a PM, and I'll add it to this post.

Game Coverage on TV Networks

Head on over to GoDuke.com and take a look in the far right column titled "Media".

If a game is listed as ESPN3, then its only on the interwebs at ESPN3.com. Your cable company must enter into an agreement with ESPN for you to have access to it online from home - you'll need to check with your provider. If you have it at home and you're traveling, you can usually access ESPN3 by logging in with your home ISP credentials. You can watch from your Xbox 360 with Live Gold.

If a game is listed on ESPN/2/U, then it may also be available on ESPN3.com.

Games on ACC Network are sometimes available on theACC.com website, as was the case with the ACC tourney in 2010.

Games on both ACC Netwokr and ESPN/2/U are usually blacked out on ESPN in Raycom's ACC markets.

Games on ABC, NBC, or CBS may be limited to regional coverage, and members frequently find and post the network's regional coverage map.

Games on FSN are not on ESPN3.com. FSN games are sometimes also on Comcast Sports Net, especially if you live in a place that doesn't have a local FSN network. Some cable packages have more than one CSN channel to accomodate multiple games simultaneously -- this is the case in the Chicago area. Keep this in mind if you think you should be getting the FSN DUke game on CSN. (Confused yet?)

Ask any specific game network coverage questions in the original thread, here.

NCAA Tournament Games
Full Game Schedule at http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/schedules

All Men's games stream online at March Madness On Demand.

Men's post game video, including press conferences.

Women's games will be on ESPN3

(Thanks MulletMan for getting this organized, and various others for links.)
