TdotFalcon Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Jay, this is a plead for you to do your thing. I don't think any of us want to be insulting, but we just don't like squinting. The boards were just fine while using the entire width of the template. If you could help, I and I think others here would be happy, especially with the season beginning and things are going to start picking up around here.

duncja Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Jay has no control over this. He's already said as much. The message boards are hosted on servers by the NFL, not the Atlanta Falcons. As such, the tweaking, and modifications are all out of AF.com staff's hands. He's saddened at our displeasure unfortunately he has no means to voice our feelings about said changes. He's hoping, as our we, that these are temporary changes as they test new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah, I thought it was just me. This hurts my eyes real bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zee Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 He posted yesterday that the boards are not in his authority. He mentioned something like all official boards of teams are basically outsourced to some other company and they have very little influence (or not at all) in these matters.

maxatlanta Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Bumping this to add my support. Adding insult to injurt, the squeeze sacrafices space for stuff we don't even need or want(popular topics list etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporkdevil Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd like an even narrower message board. Maybe we should put this up to a difficult to read poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photofalcon Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's the Facebook "Change it just to piss everyone off" formula. Yep, has the same effect here as it did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlsport Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As a few have already said, Jay has already provided some information on what he knows and that includes him knowing that we aren't happy with this. They aren't going to spend too much time today chasing some problem with the boards, they are busy getting ready to launch the new website later today.

It doesn't matter who hosts the forum, it only matters has the right permissions to get in and change it. So, one of them changed it to this, and one of them can change it back.

mountain_jim3 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I agree, someone local can reconfigure this board back like it was, with full width topics. This squeezed version was a major step backwards, imho. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlsport Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 They are launching a new site today? Can they just re-launch the old site?Yep, later on today at least that's the plan. Old site is gone and not coming back, but supposedly the new site would be a bit more like that one than the current site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) That's not entirely true.http://life.atlantafalcons.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=stats&do=leadersAny of the admins on that page have access to the ACP, and can change anything in the board.

So, one of them changed it to this, and one of them can change it back.click the first link in Boxxy's post, the fourth person listed is IPStech. you can send this person a message. This could be the culprit, if you scroll all the way to the bottom of your screen, you'll see "powered by IPS" listed as the ones who control the boards, LETS LOAD THEM UP WITH OUR COMPLAINTS, maybe we can get some attention Edited September 10, 2010 by chazmataz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
