The new message boards are coming tonight/tomorrow (April 21) morning. Our boards on this site will be read-only from midnight tonight until 6 a.m. eastern.
All of our national boards will be live during this time, available at the link below so you can give the new boards a test drive if you have not yet. They are linked at the bottom of this page and pretty awesome. I encourage everyone to try them out.
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.
