Pro Boards must have updated their layout and systems. I'm not a fan either, but like all things, I think it will just take getting used to.

Yes - it's a ProBoard update.
Huey's going to be working hard for quite awhile to get the look and feel to his liking again.
Please be patient.

Not sure, but I kept getting the " you don't have access to this board" message. I was concerned that Huey or Tog had no sense of humor today and tossed me for asking if "Jim Hardbaugh" was a porn star.

Does anyone know if there is a way to see "newest posts" or "recent posts" or whatever it was called that use to be on the top of the forum? I have been using that feature almost exclusively when on the forum, and can't see to find it in the new layout.

This really wasn't a great time to upgrade - very busy as clinic season starts and serve on our state's 7on7 board & that is starting up shortly - but it was our time. I had put it off for a bit. I'm learning as I go - same as you. I will do my best to get the board back to it's look and feel the best I can. There are some really cool features now available and others that are just around the corner. In the long run, this will be a good thing for the forum. But, yes, the short term will seem very uncomfortable and clunky.
I'm frantic - same as everyone else. will be a late tonight for me as I try to familiarize myself with all the new features and new methods of coding. Patience is a virtue.... and I don't have it, LOL, but I'm asking for you to show some with me. Thanks.

I have been using that feature almost exclusively when on the forum, and can't see to find it in the new layout. At the top - left hand corner - you see "CoachHuey.com" in text followed by the name of the board you are in, followed by the name of the thread. Mouse over the "CoachHuey.com" part & it opens up the list of all the forum sections. Those that are bolded have new topics in them. They are identified with a "new" icon as well. Try it out. |

also, in the right hand corner there is a "new - participated" button. it will show you all the threads you have posted in that have something new since your post.
and, search feature may actually be functional... LOL

I don't see how we can tweet out a thread that we like
?
is it here, or is it something that has to be coded in?

I don't see how we can tweet out a thread that we like ? is it here, or is it something that has to be coded in? That is one of the 1,372 things that will now have to be coded AGAIN ... there is a new "notifications" feature on here. It is under profiles and let's you get notified of several things. One of with is "tagging" like on twitter. simply do it just like twitter tog should tag you ... i think. there is a notification where if you are tagged it shows up (number above your profile) so much ahead... but, for the most part everything is business as usual... post, read, discuss, share. we'll eventually get this thing ironed out. |

you can also "follow" specific members. not sure exactly what that means/does but I think it lets you have a notification pop up if someone you're following makes a post or something of that nature ... not sure - will see as I guess I will follow a few people and see what's up... lol

LOL I'm still curious how the tagging thing will work. should make it easy to reference someone like when conversation turns to shotgun/spread being all that & a bag of chips you can tag lochness and he'll be notified plus people will see that he has much to add on the topic of dropping your entire scheme and converting to this.... (or, just tag him if you need a funny, sarcastic comment... lol) |

under profile, there is "status" ... instantly changes your "status" or statement under your avatar.
also, there is an avatar builder plus an avatar uploader. I recommend everyone go to their profile and edit it. so much more there now, #mindblown

Can we order some Coach Huey sunglasses with our usernames on the ear pieces to match all these bright a$$ orange banners? Good Lord.

By the way, that previous post wasn't made to b!tch about the new layout. I already like it better. Much more efficient and user friendly.

Huey,
I see a chat option. Is that coming back? I used to enjoy the whiteboard.

we also unveiled a new section for our European friends (as well as those coaching football in Canada and the small towns across our great land). I seriously encourage everyone to try out all the new features. spend some time fixing up your profile. follow some people, tag them in a thread, use the search feature, etc. to tag me, you have to use "admin" as my name. @admin looks like this Coach Huey |

Huey, I see a chat option. Is that coming back? I used to enjoy the whiteboard. it isn't a whiteboard chat like we had several years ago. it is just a standard chat room, IM style. It was actually present prior to this update, just don't recall if I had it visible or not. |

Many of the new features are very nice. Biggest issue is the layout change, but for now, it is what it is. Even the layout change isn't bad once you figure out where everything is.

On iPhone or iPad it no longer shows the first couple sentences. I feel like I'm flying blind here.
