Major Play-by-Play Upgrade: An Even Better Way to Track Bleacher Report Activity in Real Time

If you haven’t already noticed, last night we released a new version of the Play-by-Play that has some really cool new features. You can still see a snapshot of the site Play-by-Play on the home page, as well as tag- and member-specific Play-by-Plays on all section and profile pages, but clicking the “View” links below each snapshot will take you to the new dedicated Play-by-Play pages for each tag or member, or the site as a whole.

These dedicated pages show all recent site activities—meaning new articles, comments, edits, Pick of the Day votes, Bulletin Board notes, and Editor Feedback. If you’re on a tag- or member-specific page, it will show the recent activities relevant to that specific tag or member.

But wait—there’s more. Not only do these new Play-by-Play pages show recent site activities, they update in real time as new activities occur. As new articles, comments, edits, and so on register on the site, they’ll automatically appear in the Play-by-Play—without requiring you to refresh the page in your browser. Pretty cool, huh?

Click here to view the new version of the full site Play-by-Play.

You can also filter by tag to easily see recent activities for different communities on the site that you care about. And for the truly vain writers out there, you can just leave your Play-by-Play up on your screen all day and watch in anticipation as the updates roll in.

As with any new feature on the site, we appreciate any feedback from the community, so let us know what you think in the comments.
