Forum News and Admin Thread

[-Deborah-]

Hey, everyone. I'm starting a new Forum Admin thread!

You'll notice when you create a new post or respond to existing posts that there is a new button available:

You can use this button to search for GIFs to insert into your post. To use it, simply click on the button and then enter a search word or phrase and either hit on your keyboard or tap the Search button. Then select the image you wish to post. It will add it to your post. (You can select it and delete it if you change your mind.)

It works well via a mobile device, too. And you can resize the gif, if desired.

The Hock pick broke the forum.

Sorry guys. I'm aware but working with our host on it. Not sure we'll see any improvement tonight.

(Much like the Lions)

Seems a little better for now. (Unlike the Lions)

sorry, I kid...

I've been having a problem on my android phone using forum far about a week or more. Still not working very well today.

[The King]

Just wait until our 3rd round pick.

The Forum has not performed well during the draft when there has been a lot of traffic. I'm not sure why. We resolved performance problems previously. But our Forum host was bought by another host so I'm not sure if something was changed during that transition or what. I intend to do some updates to the software that runs the Forum soon but I wanted to wait till after the draft in case something goes wrong and we have some extended down time. So I apologize for any poor performance. I appreciate your patience. Thanks

Thanks for all you do Deb.

I've made a number of configuration changes with the hope of improving performance during peak traffic to the Forum. Today, I brought the forum up to the latest version of the software. The tough part is that I won't know if any of these changes worked until we have a busy day around here -- which may not happen again until the Lions draft another TE, haha. Sooo...cross your fingers!!
