you should have seen all team forums in the default list...what did you see?


When I first entered Beta, I clicked on "My Forums". They were not there. The only way I could see them through that link was to go the customize and add them.

ETA: Also, one more thing.

It would be great if the top "my links" buttons could be added to the quick link section to keep everything in close proximity. I'm sure most people click "posts" as much as anything else to see responses.

And on the note of responses, maybe some sort of notification on the home screen when someone responds to your post could be a good thing.

I think I've seen 3 or 4 people in this thread Chicken probably doesn't want Beta testing.

The Beta link is at the top left to the right of My Pick'em on desktop, very bottom under My Pick'em on mobile.

Saw it right after posting.

I appreciate your help, though.

Click the link to forums

On mobile, it is the 2nd link in drop down from the drop down menu at top left

It is in the 2nd menu on desktop

All the forums and boards show up there

You can customize your own forums drop down as well and add it in

The new system is a really nice improvement

Probably, but I'll offer my shitty opinions regardless.

Not at all a fan of the ad bar being on the right as opposed to the left.

EDIT: I also cannot rearrange all of the items in my quick links page. For instance in order to move the Auburn Sports forward or backwards in order I have to move the other forums.

If you are changing tRant, can we get a Chicken button?

Not sure what it should do but it should be awesome / funny when you click it


Also, as another mentioned above, a PM option would be pretty sweet.


Also, what i your overall thinking for the new changes?

Just curious?

Not all of the forum options allow me to move them in my quick links area. The Auburn Sports tab doesn't have the four way move icon show up when I move my cursor over it.

I see 2 problems with a pm feature

1 - members getting harassment from other members with stability issues

2 - people recruiting other members to "new boards" or other forums, this site was built and grown with a lot of work & this is an issue on every forum, plus this actually happened on the UGA boards fairly recrntly

Just PM block folks like Randy, Monteg, and Tillman

Report that to Chicken and put a stop to that


Maybe have a limited PM feature for folks with proven ability to not misuse it. Sort of a reward for being a better poster.
