Hey everyone!
Proud to share that Rivals has been given the green light to flip the switch on the new message boards TONIGHT. Some of you have been aware of this pending move for quite some time, but alas, the time is finally here!!!
During Migration from old to new all Premium and Free Message Boards will be READ-ONLY from approximately 11 p.m. CT to 5 a.m. CT.
That said, the Main Board over at the mothership site will still be active, so if you want a sneak peak, hang out there tonight and check out the features.
Speaking of features...Here are some of the new Features & Benefits for The New Rivals.com Message Boards:
1. They are a responsive design[/B]; 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.
Alright, that's all I've got for now. I really hope you guys enjoy the new layout, design and all the features. A lot of time and hard work went in to this from our Engineering team and partners. I think you guys are going to LOVE it!!
