What I did with mine, is uploaded them to my gallery here on EHM (you can get to it by clicking on Image Gallery). Then I add them as a link in my post.

You need to enable scripted windows, the first box will ask for the URL and the second will ask for the text for the link.

If that still doesn't work the BlueLine guys can help you from there.

The easiest way to do it is to go into reply, instead of quick reply. There is a button for links. It looks like a globe with a couple chain links on it. Use that. First it will prompt you for the link to the picture. Then it will prompt you for what text you would like the link to display (like Finances).

You've got your pictures uploaded someplace, like photobucket, right?

ok i have i read on most of the rules. but i find something is missing.

how big database shall we play and how many leauges are we allowed to run in the background?

i dont wanna work an an game and have wrong settings haha.

i can only see i are allowed to use an ahl manager for the farm team wich i will use.

Go to the Challenge Setup & Gameplay section of the Challenge Rules. Item 3 tells you which leagues you must run.

3. You can select your game to 'run' as many leagues in standard or enhanced as you'd like.

You have to at least set up your game with NHL, AHL, ECHL and Canada's Junior teams set to 'Enhanced'. We make these concessions for people with slower machines.

i know that.

i set rooster to the tbl 1,5.

but whut databasein preferences before u load up an game
minimum,normal,big or max ???

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:13 pm

It doesn't matter. I think I set mine to max a long time ago and never looked at the setting again. I may be wrong but I think if you set the database size to one of the smaller ones you could be limiting the number of staff out there available to hire. Does anyone know for sure?

Salming · Post by **Salming** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:26 pm

ty

yes thats whut i wus wondering about. a small databaseplayer would have hugedisadvantage againt a huge database player in no trade options couse staff is more important.

i played a game with st bluis blues for very long time with 1 trade or 1 signing of ufa per seson as rule. so i was very dependent of staff and training to change my rooster. i had big problems getting staff. after 4 sesons i looked up this more carefully, and i realised my mistake. i had set database to minimum so very few staffs in the game.

example.

minimum database with nhl only about 1,5k staffs
normal database about 5k staffs
full database is about 9k staffs

the more staff the more chanse for new staff during off seson to have decent unemployd staffs to hire couse they regen faster and more decent staffs in europe to sign to an nhl team. on small base most staffs are in nhl roosters already or as headcoach /general manager mode wich cant be signed bu PHO.

i will play on normal database settings couse my computer is kinda slow.

anyway lisin is looking very nice.

a little question again,just to make sure..

Now I'm starting season 2 and I understood that for example Lisin,Mueller,Hanzal can play in your team but can't be your homegrown?did I get this right?

just want to make sure and not screw up with this..these players are allowed to play in season 2?
thank you in advance

Post by **Shadd666** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:59 am

inspector84: Yes, they can play for you if you want to, but can not be your season 2 HG, since they weren't signed before September 1st 2006.

However, if you sign them before September 1st 2007 (ie September season 2), and let them spend a full year in either juniors or AHL, they will be eligible to be your HG for season 3. Of course, this is if they are 25 years old or younger (which would be the case) and if they played less than 25 NHL games.

inspector84 · Post by **inspector84** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:21 pm

ok,i got it..

and i guess it's the same thing with the guys I drafted ?I can decide when to sign them and when they play,but if they play over 25 games ,they can't be HG anymore next season?I've read the rules again but found nothing regarding draft-subject

inspector84 · Post by **inspector84** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:24 pm

oh yea,they can't be your HG until season 5..guys I drafted now aren't in the list.so never mind...

but I guess they can play in my team when I sign them there?Meaning even right away?To clear this out..talkign about guys like kane,gagner,van riemsdyk etc

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:27 pm

The rules say that all homegrowns must be drafted by you or be property of your team when the game started. Other than that, the rules are the same for homegrowns. It's not done differently because they were drafted. If you want to use a player you drafted in the 2007 draft to be used as a homegrown, you've got to have them signed to a contract (they could then be sent back to junior hockey or to your AHL roster if they're allowed) before September 1st 2007. Then you could use them as your homegrown for the 3rd season (2008-2009). This works the same way as it does for the players you already own the rights to at the start of the game that aren't under contract. No difference.

Oh..that's very simple then..thx m8..I rather ask and make sure then mess up with it

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:20 pm

Hey guys...

When posting screenshots for injured players, please be sure to post these with your end of season stats. That is when we're checking to see if your core players have played their required number of games (or minutes for goalies). That's when we would look for your screenshot as proof of injury, excusing not meeting the requirements.

Thanks!

Question of the following Rule.

F. THE DRAFT/DRAFT PICK TRADING RESTRICTIONS
.
.
.
3.NEW A maximum of 2 picks per round are allowed. Unless in the beginning of the game the team already has 3 in the round, without any transactions. It will become clear if this is the case when we play each team.

Is this at any time? Or only for draft day? If in a trade the best I can get is a 2nd round, but I already have 2 can I still get the 2nd round, but trade it away before the draft day?

Cheers,
W

That would be trying to find a loophole in the rules. I would strongly advise against it. What we are doing here is trying to limit this kind of dump my bums for draft picks at any point. Without actually saying..stop dumping your bums for draft picks.

OttawaSenatorsRule · Post by **OttawaSenatorsRule** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 11:26 am

Really... humm.. I took it to keep people from stacking up on the 1st and 2nd rounders for the actual draft so you could get all the goodies.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 1:34 pm

That too. We did that to keep people from dumping all of their bums for draft picks and to stop people from stockpiling all of the top talent. It's just too easy to make all kinds of trades dealing with draft picks.

Salming · Post by **Salming** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:01 pm

i feeel pretty bored posting screens of my players in and out every 20 games when i play nntb.

wouldnt it be enough to have that at start and at end of seson only?

i mean i wont trade anyway so just feels like waste of time for all.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:25 pm

I takes only a couple minutes to post your screens. It's what we have to do to make sure everyone is following the rules. We've already had several people make mistakes and we've caught these mistakes by looking at the screenshots.

Salming · Post by **Salming** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:28 pm

Well nntb is pretty easy

no trading or singing whut so ever. more then 2 screen to proove that i hardly see is needed. after 20 games and end of seson shot.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:54 pm

The reason we have the screenshots at every 20 games is because if somebody makes a trade, they have until the next 20 game segement to get themselves within the budget. So we need to see that no trades have been made during that 20 game segment of games. Like I said, it does not take very long. If you think it's too much to ask, you don't have to participate in the challenge. It's really simple and easy. I don't see what the big deal is.

Salming · Post by **Salming** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:57 pm

this challange is fun!

i jsut wanted to save some time for us all, couse i felt screens wherent justified
