Common questions

Does this change the admin for anyone else?
No. Preferences and your language are yours alone. Everyone else who signs in sets their own.
How do I switch back to English?
Click your name. Under the language group (Langue in French, Idioma in Spanish), choose English, or the league’s language to follow whatever your league uses.
Does it change my website’s language?
No. Your website’s language is a league setting, in Settings › League profile › Languages (league admins only). Fans can switch to any language that’s turned on there.
I’m in more than one league. Do I set it again?
Yes. Your preferences are saved for each league you belong to, so set them once in each.
What are single-key shortcuts?
One-letter keys like J and K to move through a list, N to add, and G then a letter to jump to a page. If they get in your way, turn off Single-key shortcuts in Preferences. ⌘ combinations always work. See Search and keyboard shortcuts.
