OK guys. The green light has been given for the board migrations to begin tonight. This is going to be the new format for the Lions Den.

With that in mind, the board will be READ-ONLY from midnight until approximately 6 a.m. If there are any changes, we will notify you here.

From our network president:

Here are some of the new Features & Benefits for the new Rivals.com Message Boards:

1. They are a responsive design; meaning, they were designed for desktop, tablets and mobile - all in one design and all at the same URL. No need to go to a different address to get the proper version for your device

2. They have a modern, secure and actively maintained framework built for speed & stability

3. There will be no limit on Thread History, so you can reference old topics or replies at any time

4. There is Private Messaging, Social Profiles and Rich(er) Content - embeddable video, embeddable Tweets, etc

5. You now can set up alerts and follow users so you don't miss replies to topics you're participating in or miss great posts from your favorite users. In your News Feed you'll be able to see all of the topics, users, and content that you wish to follow.

6. Dynamic quoting system so what you select within a thread can be quoted without copying and pasting any code. You select what you want to quote and click Reply over that selection, and it will be put automatically in your reply. You can quote multiple posts and automatic quoting is set up so that you can always follow the conversation with a user forgetting to quote.

7. Improved navigation and search: quickly jump to the first unread post in a thread or to the top and bottom of each thread. Advanced search features include by keyword, date or thread title.


Please, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to email me at nbauer@bluewhiteonline.com.
 
Re: I hope they are not doing away with Thread view*

No they have not, it was deployed on the national boards a few days ago. Not wanting to break rules, but here is a link:

If that's against the rules mods, please edit, thanks...

You hope wrong. I just tried to quit BWI but


must wait until the AM. I'll deal with Tom's board but I'm not paying for the topic garbage. FWIW, I posted a final goodbye 'Out Before the Thread Breaks but it was quickly deleted. Pathetic. Just saying goodbyes. Nothing mean spirited.

it shouldn't surprise us that someone who purposely elects to reside in

Clarkston can't grasp the superiority of Thread View. If you lived in a more urban locale, you might appreciate some of the finer things in life.

Regardless, it is a significant improvement on what is here now. They did a great job and the roll out was seamless. I have been a critic of the lay out for a few years, but they did a great job on this, and the transition. Will take some getting used to for a lot...
 
Re: it shouldn't surprise us that someone who purposely elects to reside in

If you've ever used vBulletin or Xenforo, you know that Thread View is completely unnecessary.
 
Re: I hope they are not doing away with Thread view*

Thanks. Went and checked it out. Looks very nice and easy to use.
 
Wow, Rivals nailed it. Thanks for posting. FOS...

...or more accurately the new Scout platform is abysmal. Impossible to scroll without clicking accidentally, popups and other redirects, not to mention the worst "responsive design" I've ever seen.
