It appears as if the new message boards will hit at some point tonight, with this board become "read-only" for a period of time starting around midnight EST. We'll fumble around the next few days, but I'm sure this will be a good step forward in the long run.
Here are some of the new Features & Benefits for the new Rivals.com Message Boards:
1. They are a responsive design[/B];
meaning, they were designed for desktop, tablets and mobile - all in
one design and all at the same URL. No need to go to a different address
to get the proper version for your device
2. They have a modern, secure and actively maintained framework built for speed & stability
3. There will be no limit on Thread History, so you can reference old topics or replies at any time
4. There is Private Messaging, Social Profiles and Rich(er) Content - embeddable video, embeddable Tweets, etc
5. You now can set up alerts and follow users so you don't miss replies to topics you're participating in or miss great posts from your favorite users. In yourNews Feed you'll be able to see all of the topics, users, and content that you wish to follow.
6. Dynamic quoting system so
what you select within a thread can be quoted without copying and
pasting any code. You select what you want to quote and click Reply over
that selection, and it will be put automatically in your reply. You can
quote multiple posts and automatic quoting is set up so that you can always follow the conversation with a user forgetting to quote.
7. Improved navigation and search :
quickly jump to the first unread post in a thread or to the top and
bottom of each thread. Advanced search features include by keyword, date
or thread title.
