Great idea for the message board.

We're looking into this. Bear with us on this and sorry for making everyone squint.

Evidently you didn't receive your lemon juice(should of been with your magazines) to decipher what is being said!

To get more action in the threads, this new concept is genius as you have to click on the reply button to read posts. I take back everything I've ever said about Stats programmers.

You can also just do a ctrl-A to select the whole page and read posts....piece of cake.

this may take weeks so we'll have to improvise. We can use the graemlins as letters.

= W

= S

= E

= N

= C

:rolleyes: = T

= F

All that snow in the Midwest had to go someplace -- why not the message boards?

And while I'm at it, advice for Tim Geithner - stop saving the banks and start saving the people. Low-interest government loans for every household that took out a mortgage in the last 5 years = time to fix the economy, 3 months.

I was so frustrated I left for lunch early. Glad to see we've gone from white to gray!!

Yes, KJ, I have requested that black type return to the NFBC boards and that will make things better. We need to increase the type size a little it looks like in some places, but maybe the black type will help there. The first page of the boards also is giving too much space to the Last Post and I've asked that we address that. STATS will tinker with this today and get it right, hopefully.

These UBB boards are something that STATS said they couldn't just tinker with on the side and duplicate. I'm computer illiterate, so I'll trust them. But we had a 90-minute blackout and not we're at least visible again. We'll improve from there. Sorry for the problems up until now and we'll keep improving this as we go.

The white-out aside, good call to place the NFBC banner and links on top of the MB.

No football links anywhere though --- you haven't divorced the NFFC have you?

I'd suggest a 9th button that says "Football" with drop down links to the NFFC home page and the NFFC MB.

I'm separated right now from the NFFC!!

We have a real cool banner that goes above all of the separate links above that say BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL in the peacock logos and that was ready to go in our initial launch. But we then decided not to send folks to football until we made the background look consistent with the NFBC. So I believe in the next week or two, this look will arrive on the NFFC site and then the sport links will reappear at the top.

I voted for linking to the NFFC site right away even with our red, white and blue look, but I was over-ruled!!

If anything, it creates an urgency to update the NFFC site, which is good.

You've been spot on with our thinking thus far. Two stars to KJ Duke today.

Oh, and some links still have gray text instead of the bolder blue. We'll get this all consistent yet.

I'm praying that the whiteout will consist of starch and bleach and sanitize those boards completely. Once we have the new look I will take a stand to make sure they don't get dirty again. That's a promise I'll make today.
