Which format of the NFLDC boards do you prefer? The current one, or the old one?

I liked the old one better, but that "this page does not exist" was really annoying. I wish that could have been fixed and the old board kept, although it wasnt possible. But for some reason i liked it better.

I like the new board...but it has taken away from the family feeling that the old board had.

im gonna go new/current only because of the team discussions thread. with the option of multiple threads the individual discussions stay on track

I like the old one. It had a homie feeling, you know? I'll get used to this, so whatever.

I like the new one a lot better. If they ever get around to changing the appearance, I don't think anyone will be complaining.

I like the new ones. Infractions are fun to give out, and I love the the team sections.

I like the new one a little better. I would like it a lot better if the background color wasn't as bright as it is.

Alt + F4 = Bypass the 10 character limit

I miss my av. Other than that, both forums are the same to me. As long as I can make fun of people over the internet, it's all good.

i like the current layout, seems a lot cleaner and helps with discussions

if someone learned how to run vBulletin then this forum could be great

here is another site with the same type of board but it has so much more

New format because I don't have to log in (twice) every time I visit the forum, it actually remembers me and keeps me logged in. On the old forum I had to type my usename and password twice before it would log me in, then as soon as I left it would log me out again even though I had "remember me" checked.

I also got a ton of popups on the old forum.

About the logging in thing, that's one definite upside about the new forums. Of course, that only happened near the end there for me when the site was messing up. That's another thing. I don't get a bunch of 404 errors and server died or whatever messages. But I did love the simplicity of the old forums. Sometimes it's a little too much to navigate through some threads, but it's alright. They even out.

I liked the old forums, simply because I had a comfort level with them. It was a real pain in the ass by the end, though. I've grown to absolutely love the new one.

the quick reply, and team boards section is enough for me to like this board better, but the old layout was alot better....


also, this layout makes me think its to speed things up when the board gets overloaded, ie the morning of the draft, last year the board was basically down, since everyone was trying to log in and post all at once

Precisely . . . though the rep points are annoying . . . and we all though post count meant too much to people . . . :eek:

there are still a lot of things i don't know how to do on the new board. how do you put in a smiley, and where are the bold, italics, size, ect. buttons?

Go into your user cp>edit options and look for this on the bottom of the page:

Miscellaneous Options Message Editor Interface When posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type. Basic Editor - A simple text box Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing Message Editor Interface:

The old board had a nice simplicity to it that made it easy to just join and use right away. Being the tech head that I am though, I love the new board and all the new features. Except for a few minor complaints and weird buggy stuff. I'm sure we'll get avatars and smilies back eventually, and hopefully a new skin as well.

Is there a reason for some teams not having a team leader?

They're being decided on. Some teams have too many good candidates, or no good ones at all.

I like the new one better, but not when I first saw it. I needed an adjustment period.
