With the forum now undergoing minor changes, I think it would be good to keep a thread to keep track of the changes and updates. I invite suggestions and feedback. Thanks, everyone.

Though it has been changed for some time, I am still open to feedback regarding the front page. My intention was to get rid of the little used items such as the top referrers and top posters modules and leave only that which was actually used frequently. Since an overwhelming number of clicks on the front page concentrated on the recent threads module, I have expanded it and made it the center focus of the page. First, does the centralized Recent Threads module ease the flow of navigation and second, how many threads would you like to see displayed in the Recent Threads module ? Finally, what additional modules would you like to be displayed on the front page ?

The much needed 2011 Recruiting Profile has been created. All 2009 profiles have been moved to the archives.

A Notre Dame Game Day sub-forum has been created to accommodate the drama as it unfolds on football Saturdays as well as to organize all ND football related sports books.

Finally, Quinntastic has been named moderator of The Leprechaun Lounge. She's been a fantastic contributor and is now taking up the duty of keeping you guys well-behaved. Good luck to her !

For those who actually care about these sorts of things, parameters for reputation titles have changed, increasing the minimum reputation required to achieve the higher levels. Happy rep-farming !

A Game Day module has been added to the front page.

I really like the Game Day Central module. Keep up the great work.

 

[WabashFalcon]

I miss my rep and ability to give advice to Charile, damnit!

 

[Junkhead]

A Game Day module has been added to the front page.

Thanks for the hard work keeping this place going.

Jason. You gonna add the NCAA subforum? There's been alot of threads on other teams lately.

Once you create it, I will move all of the recent threads to it.

 

[Jason Pham]

I like the idea, I only have the reservation that there may not be enough material to warrant a separate subforum specifically for non-Notre Dame related discussion. What do you think ?

 

[Jason Pham]

We have new additions to the moderator panel. NDinL.A. will be cleaning things up in the Football, Recruiting, Athletics, and Professional Teams. BGIF has been named Community Moderator.

Both have been doing a tremendous job contributing to the site and both should prove pivotal in keeping this place afloat. Welcome guys !

The Recent Threads module on the front page has been expanded to show the latest 20 threads.

I think having a seperate subforum could encourage more discussion about other teams especially when the season starts. People can discuss the other big games going on, etc. It's up to you though. Maybe we could try it and if it doesn't work out, just get rid of it.

After a long hiatus, you should now be able to use images in your signature.

Several new sub-forums have been created and existing forums have been reorganized.

 

[Jason Pham]

After a bit of technical difficulties, signatures should be working. Make sure to click "insert signature picture" on the signature page or typing [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] in your signature before saving.

 

[Steve]

[Jason Pham]

Yea, sent you a PM as well.

Stat box added on the Front Page. As the season begins and progresses, I'm hoping to keep this updated with the latest team stats.

I like it.

One question, though. What's keeping the blue heading over the schedule and the new stat box from extending all the way across like it does with the commitments box? Is this an excel product and the cells just need to be merged?

 

[Jason Pham]

Should be fixed now ! Thanks for the catch, I've been rendering everything on Firefox, I should have checked Internet Explorer as well. Let me know if anything else shows up looking odd.

 

[Bubba]

That was fast... keep up the great work Phammer!!

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

... I'll shoot the owner...

Don't shoot the owner.

Welcome Irish Polishman. I'd be up for being a mod if more are needed. I'm on the internet too damn much, and check here many times per day. I would even do it for free.
