Yes, last year’s ballot had a warning or two, too, but now it’s REALLY ferocious!

We’re happy to look at that issue, but, no, users can’t help with that stuff — photos involve a lot of legal rights issues. Very touchy. We have to use what is cleared for publication by our parent company, but there are lots of images to choose from — too many to share with you all for commentary.

Today we re-introduced a functionality in our Prediction Center that USED to exist back in the old days and now it’s made a triumphant return. When you make predictions, everything shows up on one page and there’s an “Edit” button in the top-right corner of category boxes so you can make your changes instantly, then return to your main page for that prediction event.

Here’s a peak at what you see on my own page with Emmy picks:

If you haven’t predicted a few categories yet in an event, the new categories appear on top, your existing picks down below. Your main page looks like this:

We’re aware of the missing photos — those will re-appear soon. The important thing for now is that we have the new functionality in place.

RILEY: So glad to see that you share my enthusiasm for this approach. I’ve missed it through the years, but, alas, it’s finally back. Hurrah.

EDEN: We’re working on fixing that link to “View Predictions” — Over the next week we’ll be re-organizing the users’ areas that feature current predictions/ old predictions and scores.  Including profile pages. Also leagues — we’re going to retool those so they’re more accessible, easy to find and use (and to see scores). Stay tuned. This overhaul we’re doing now is mammoth, but necessary and, of course, crazy delays and bugs occur. Keep pointing them out, please, so we can correct those soonest. Meantime, many thanks for your patience. Well, except for AnneBoleyn — sorry that you’re disappointed. Come back in a week or two and I think you’ll agree that all of the changes make the site more accessible and user-friendly. Feedback from all of you is key to us getting this right, so keep piping in, pls!

So many tech fixes have been made over the past few days that I’m curious about what still needs to be done. Please tell us — and, remember, it’s extremely helpful to let us know the browser you’re using and the specific device, too

I am a little unhappy with the new design for the forums on mobile, especially because we cannot see the time for the latest posts in each thread in the forums home pages anymore.

Thanks for pointing this out, Gus! The improvements we’re making in the forums are not done yet. We need valuable input like this from you — well fix the time issue. TX

Sorry about closing down the prediction center early, but we have reason to believe that news of Critics’ Choice winners, SAG nominees, etc., are leaking out early. We’re investigating.

As for those other critics’ awards groups like Austin and Columbus, we have no plans to predict them currently, but that may change. Behind the scenes, Gold Derby is going through a major tech upgrade, which should give us expanded capacity in the future. Stay tuned. TX
