Guys,
We've just received word from our tech team that the message board flip tonight is a go. Here is how it will affect you.
FROM approximately 11PM Central to 5AM central, the message boards will be read only while maintenance is being performed to switch the boards from our current format to our new formatThere will be full instructions posted on the board and pinned on how to use some of the new features of the board when they are released.All of your login information will remain the same. Your post counts will remain the same. You will have to do some things like reset your signatures and avatars and things like that if you are doing that. We will have instructions on how to do that.If you haven't been to the Rivals.com MainBoard you can go check things out over there to get used to how the new boards will work. I will devote more time than ever to being on the boards and making sure you guys have all the help you need.
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 yourNews 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.
