HQ Forums Upgrade - July 2010

[RAY@HQ]

What specifically are the problems you're seeing, Red? I'm using Firefox (3.6.8) and it's just fine.

Give us some time to get it optimized, though.

Not Impressed

I hate, hate, hate the new format. I hope that the problem is the page is not compatible with Firefox, because this is really bad. It is much harder to navigate. Almost unusable given the added effort required. I may need to find another site's forum to replace this one. The old forum was one of the best parts of BaseballHQ.

I am guessing there is a connection to the forum upgrade since I am a rotopass subscriber. I can no longer access my MACK teams.

I tried to express my amazement somewhere else, but not sure if it registered.
I'll try to speak for those who didn't figure out their login (took me several tries), so that they can't express the obvious.....

Why would this site possibly do this the week of the trading deadline?

The worst possible weeks would be:
- week before the season
- first week of the season
- two weeks before the season
- week of the trading deadline

That leaves 48 other weeks to choose from.....



Not digging the change of style, either.......

Thanks Ray

You are right it's working. I just didn't know and couldn't figure out what the correct icon was.

However, one of the really friendly things about the previous forums was the feature that took readers to the 1st new post of a thread. I am probably technologically challenged but I can't find this feature. I hope we don't have to wade through all the pages of threads to find the latest posts.

Use the circle icon next to the thread title, rather than clicking on the thread title itself. Seems to be working.

I have a feeling this may have gotten somehow reset with the upgrade... can you let me know once you start viewing threads if it starts happening again?

Change is usually good

Hi Folks -

Brought our forums into 2010 by upgrading our software.

This is going to give us the opportunity to further integrate the forums into BHQ and utilize new features, such as integration with facebook!

Please pardon our dust as we tweak and modify the look and feel of the forums over the coming days.

Please post any questions, comments, or suggestions here!

Thanks,
Mike
