    Hello Everyone,

    I've added additional functionality to those "Streams" that just pop up on LG that i think will really help turn LG into more of a content site. I've added that
    • Commish staff can control what streams show up and where
    • Each league can promote a stream just in their forum (so if the FIFA guys wanted to promote a fifa stream, or ps4 just promote their games ect)
    • Users can close a stream, and it will stay closed
    • Display more info on the stream you're watching (the teams, if its a playoff game, and if so the round and game ect)
    The most common request was for users to not have a stream auto load, now if you close a stream when you come back, we do not auto play the stream but display a still image of it so you can again turn it back on. We keep track of the "Streamer" you hid, in case you didnt want to watch a certain game. This means however if there were 2 games in a night, if you closed the 1st stream and then the commish turned to another streamer, the 2nd game would auto start, unless you close that too.

    These features should really turn LG into a content site in which you come here to watch the best games.

    Below is an example where you've closed the stream so it displays only an image and not auto-play the stream

    Enjoy gents

    Would it be possible to get a profile option to never be prompted with them again?

    It doesn't seem unreasonable for those of us who don't participate in social media, or have any interest in watching these streams to not have a small check box in our preferences that allows us to not be bothered with them at all.

    So, how are you guys doing streams in general? I do have mine linked tot he account and such but other then that does it let people know via the LG site when you go live or do the captains handle promoting league games? Just wondering if I need to do anything else with my account to be set up for linking my stream to here.

    Yeah, I always have it at that when I do stream hockey. Should I try unlinking my account and re-linking it maybe?

    Awesome @Tris10 !! Been wishing we could promote our league games a little more visibly and this does just that !! Makes it easier to see which teams are ready as it gets closer to game times too.
