How does everyone feel about using Yahoo Instant Messenger for trade talks, conference calls, etc for this league? It'd probably help all those aspects of the league a whole lot, especially trade talks. In previous seasons, most of us just relied on Yahoo's trading system and an occasional email or note to go along w/ that. But I find that method rather limiting and difficult on negotiations. It's always easier, faster and more thorough to be able to chat a little using IM for trade talks, if nothing else. Obviously, everyone can't be expected to keep themselves signed onto YIM all day long, everyday -- well, I'm on it a whole lot these days anyway -- but since we use Yahoo for FBB, you can easily see who is on YIM and who's not just by checking the Yahoo FBB league page. That would help us a bit. And of course, you can always ask your potential trade partner to meet up on YIM as needed. Anyway, just a suggestion to help improve league activity, especially for trade talks, as that was one problem we had in 2005.

Actually, w/ YIM, you can also just leave a message or two if the other person is not online (or is just "invisible") although it's easy to forget the context of a message if one doesn't get a response for a long while. ;D
BTW, glad to see you checking in, CC.

Yep. Got that. It might be good if everyone also changed their forum "display name" to reflect their team name. If you wish to include your first name, you could put it in parenthesis as well. That would probably help everyone identify you more easily.
To change your display name, just modify your profile -- ie. click on your Profile up top or on your current display name in a post and then click on Modify Profile to do that.
Also, while you're at it, enter your YIM id into your profile too.
