Rivals.com is upgrading the forums and giving them a new look with new features. Our forum switches over tonight. There will be a down time I'm told between probably 11 and early morning. If you are unable to log on during that time or your functionality is limited there is no issue on your end.
I think they'll be a nice upgrade. Once the change is made I'll start a thread and you can post your feedback and let us know if we need to look into anything.

We're calling this an upgrade? Now the text only occupies 1/3 of the width of my screen. I'm not sure what is supposed to be in the white spaces to the left and right but I can assume those are ads. I of course can't see what's out there due to my ad blockers. It's annoying to have the post that you are reading only taking up 1/3 of the screen now.

On mobile, doesn’t seem to be a way to go to the last page of a thread without first clicking on the thread itself. There should be page numbers under the title for quick access

change it back

Mobile user here too, agree with the others on the format. It seems really jumbled together on my phone, and not as easy to use. I don’t think I’ve been on a board where anyone ever likes the change, but I guess we’ll get use to it eventually.

I don't hate it. I'm not a fan a change just for the sake of change, but the new format isn't anything I can't get used to pretty easily and quickly. It's meh to me, whatever.

This does not look good at all. The posts text takes up such a tiny part of the screen. Who is convincing people that these website "upgrades" look better than the old version? I really don't understand. Please change it back, if possible. Thanks.

Ha, I don't hate it.. but it is a bit messy. One change, in the notifications, when it tells me about all those LIKES I get.. it would be nice if you could change the thread to BOLD, so it sticks out a bit more.

If on desktop/laptop, go to the bottom left and hit the Toggle Width button. That will help some. Haven't tried it on mobile.

Appreciate you all trying to stay fresh. The page width tip by @TriangleUKCat is a good one and helped a bunch. Be nice to have that button at the bottom that lets you go back to the top or to the list of threads. That's a glaring omission.

I hate to be a Karen.. But I don't like either of those sizing options. One is too wide, one is too narrow. I'd really like to see at least 4, maybe 5 options. Let's get this taken care of by Sunday, ok?

Agree. One marginally better than the other, I guess. I'll be used to it by 4 PM today regardless though.

Funny that this comes right around when Facebook is launching it's massive UI/UX overhaul. People always lose their ****, and then 2 days later, they forget about it.. until it changes in 3 years and they are like "WHAT, THE OLD WAY WAS SO MUCH BETTER?!"

I do not see a Toggle Width butt on the bottom left. If I make the view 125% it widens the post area to fit in the whole screen but anything less and I only have the left half of the screen displaying content.

Not a fan just yet as I liked seeing the number of posts and other information without having to click a down arrow under the user's avitar.

@JRowland For some reason the new update does not let me access HOB. My subscription was paid in June so it isn't an expired account. Can you help?

I like the dark option. Makes the posts easier to read.
