Hello all, Rivals will be moving to new, much better message boards (finally, very excited!) overnight. For a look at the new message boards, you can go to our Main Board (avert your eyes, it is often not about football) and check them out and play around. I have linked to the Main Board in this email.
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 your News 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.
It takes a little getting used to but after you start getting used to it, it is 100x better and this comes from an old school guy who doesn't like change. I love this change!
