Just checking in, but what do you guys think of everything so far? Seems like things are going smoothly, and the old board is still there to give any of the lost some guidance here. I wanted to check in and see if there was anything you guys would like seen changed about the layout (order of blocks in the side columns, etc.). I saw you moved the message board block from the middle berstch, and I like the idea. I just don't want things getting too cluttered. So, if you guys have any other ideas, let's discuss them here. And has anyone seen NYYS yet?

So far so good. I would like to make the board a little more of our flavor. It looks like you are changing the post buttons right now guru. That's a great start! Reminds me a lot of ezBoard, although I am sure we have a lot more freedom.

A couple things: 1.) I changed the images around and put the sox logos in to mark no posts, etc. I wish I could find some better images, but I don't know where we can get a full logo set. 2.) I would like to see if we can bring over post counts from the old board. 3.) I think we can bring over the archives. I just saw this on another board I go to where they switched from ezBoard to a private site. They were able to bring all the ezboard posts over in their transition without having to individually post each one. 4.) I noticed a small html error in the header here, but I don't know how to get to the editor for it. There is an extra line of blue in between the monster and the buttons. If you highlight this field the text: '); //--> End Hide comes up. 5.) I think it would be nice to bring the collapsable links back again now that the message board is over here. Nothing like smooth easy access. 6.) Where the hell is NYYS? 7.) I emailed all the members of the ezboard informing them of the move. 8.) Can we change the buttons on the top to more relevant topics. There is not a single article on the minors section and it isn't Hot Stove Season anymore. Once again, I don't know how to get at this code. 9.) Great job so far! I think we are only beginning to tap all that is available to us here.

1.) No offense berstch, but I liked the empty gloves and gloves with balls as indicators of new posts better. I think we should go back to those. The Sox logos work with the theme, but they aren't very intuitive as to whether there are new posts. 3.) I couldn't find a way to do this quickly, but if you can figure it out, that would be great! 4.) I'll try to take care of this today. 5.) Where would you like to bring back the collapsable links? 6.) I e-mailed NYYS yesterday. He's just been taking a few days off. We should see him here soon enough. 7.) Great idea! This just never occurred to me! 8.) Sure, what would we like to change them to? Maybe the same topics that are in the main menu?
