Additional Forum Upgrades
Thanks everyone for continuing to provide feedback and suggestions. The latest changes seem to have been received a lot more positively so we are happy to be headed in the right direction.
Some more design tweaks made today:
- Added topic title back to each post and made the font slightly darker so it's easier to read
- Changed default post times to relative time (this can be changed back in My Profile > Board Preferences if you are unhappy)
- Added rounded edges to the forums and posts
- Made the post separator bar a little smaller
Favorite team icon updates:
- We are going to keep the team icons displayed vertically instead of horizontally. It keeps short posts more compact and leads to less scrolling overall.
- We are working on adding soccer team icons (thanks to Baphomet for the help!)
- We will update the NHL and NFL icons
- At this time, we can't allow you to pick multiple favorite teams in the same league
- At this time, we can't link the team icons to their respective forums
- At this time, we won't be expanding and adding college teams
Search updates:
- We can't enable normal keyword searching yet, but we are going to try out expanding the search functionality
- You can now view all of your own posts and won't be limited to the first page of results
- A time delay is enabled to keep the load down, so you might need to wait a minute between search requests
- You can now view the post history of other users (click on their profile, then view all posts)
And1 updates:
- Your 5 most And1'd posts are now displayed in your profile
- The 5 posts you've recently And1'd are now displayed in your profile
- We are not going to add a flop/dislike button at this time
- FYI: You can click on the number next to an And1 to see who has And1'd the post
Mobile App:
- The mobile app is developed by a third party and we can not customize or upgrade it at all with things like And1 or team icons, unfortunately.

Great work. TBH i wasn't a fan of the updates at all when they started, but looks like you guys have pulled everything together pretty nicely.

I love the updates. Job well done.

Re: Additional Forum Upgrades
Again I am begging & pleading, please if there isn't an option already so I can view 100/posts/threads a page and not set to some arbitrary hard limit.
I much prefer reading/scrolling my information vertically not horizontally. At least let/give me the option to set it this way for myself(or anyone else that prefers it that/this way.
Asking nicely/politely/sincerely! Keep up the great work! Cheers! ! ! !

All in all, it's a pretty sad redesign. It still screams 2004. It's time to rebuild the interface from the ground up using HTML5/JQuery and new CSS. The brand in general needs a makeover.

Stop hating on 2004. I had a good time in 2004.

Is there a way to turn off the favorite team icons? I find it distracting. Thanks

We have added 139 teams to choose from for your Favorite Soccer Team icon. Sorry if we left out your favorite team, but that is all we will be adding for now. NHL and NFL logos should be updated within the next hour.

Re: Additional Forum Upgrades
Oh, so the Jays can have their logo changed to the simpler design but the Yankees can't get the more recognizable, simple logo? I see how it is. Canadian favoritism.
DOWN WITH CANADA!!!!!

Re: Additional Forum Upgrades
What does the "+1" under a post total in a thread mean? That you got an "and-1" in that thread?
