How do you make words big and colory on this forum again? I know how to make them hard. And I know how to say them sarcastically. Heck, I even know how to lay a paper towel underneath them. 

It used to be as easy as [font=large][/font] or [size=18][/size] or something like that and [color=red][/color]

I know this is truly a first world problem but is there anyway we could be able to see a forum topic listed with page counts that include the last 2-3 pages as options to click on?

For example, if there’s a thread that has 100p,  the pages are showcased as 1, 2, 3, 4, 100 underneath the topic titled.  Whereas before (maybe before the new forum format was introduced?), it might say 1, 2, 3, 4, 97, 98, 99, 100.  That way you could jump into the discussion, esp a fast moving, active one, by clicking on a couple pages before the most recent one.  

LIS, it’s a first world problem but restoring this navigation option would be great to have this back again.  Food for thought…

Every time I hit enter it starts a new paragraph.  How do I go to the next line instead?

Use Shift+Enter on desktop.   I'm looking into this feature on mobile.

Is there a mobile app?

No.  This forum software automatically adjusts to a responsive mobile design on smaller screens. 

My tablet or phone is not showing the mobile site?

The system uses browser size to determine what kind of experience to serve the user.    On larger screens it will show the normal forum in landscape view.  Flip your phone or tablet to portrait view.

Where are the signatures?

You have to enable signatures to view sigs.  You can turn off/on sigs for all members or individual members.  Signatures are hidden on mobile browsers to improve performance.  

Is there a way to go to the first unread post in a thread?

Yes. Click the blue star to go to the first unread message in a thread you've posted in.  A blue circle takes you to the first unread post in a thread you haven't posted in.

Can we have a drop down menu like the old one to jump between forums?

It currently isn't an option with this forum software.  It's also an old feature that isn't really necessary on this forum.  With the ability to follow forums and set up activity streams, you can see all the topics for the forums you follow on one page.  

How can I tell who the forum moderators are?

At the top of the page you'll see a link that says "Staff." Click it and under the moderator names you'll see what forums they moderate.

I clicked on the popup notification and the notification icon didn't reset to 0.

You have to click on the notification icon to view and reset the notifications.  Clicking the popup notification will only take you to the post.  it will not clear the notification icon.

I'm having some problems with an advertisement.   

Please remember that our sponsors cover the costs of running this forum.  Without ads there wouldn't be a forum.   We will try to make the ads as unobtrusive as possible.  You should not see any kind of app redirects, downloads or other invasive or obnoxious ads.  Ads should not cover the content or break the layout.  If an ad is doing this on your browser, it is due to a technical issue with the advertisement or a problem with your browser, computer, or phone.   Try rebooting your computer or phone to see if that solves the issue.   If that doesn't work send me a PM and I will look into it.  Do not discuss the ads on the forum.  

I want to change my username, should I just register a new name? 

At some point in the future, I may allow veteran members a one-time name change without the need to re-register.  I'm still deciding on the best way to do this.   Please do not PM me asking to change your username.    I will post more information when/if this option is available.  

What is going to happen to all the old posts?

The old forum will be kept as a read-only archive.  You can read the old posts at anytime by clicking on the 'Archive' link in the new forum menu.  If there is an active topic you would like to bring over to the new forum, feel free to copy and paste content from a topic on the old forum to the new one.  

I'm a new member. Why can't I like posts? Why can't I post anymore today?

To prevent spammers and trolls new members can only make 20 posts per day.  They also can't like posts and have a few other restrictions on their accounts.   New members will become regular members after a week or two of regular contributions, if they don't spam or cause any problems.  

Why can't I like posts anymore, it was just working and now it doesn't allow me to like posts?

Veteran members can only like 20 posts per day. 

Why doesn't my old username work on this forum?

Your password for the old forum will not work on the new forum. You should have received an email with account login information for the new forum. If you didn't receive that email, please go here:  http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=589383

Hello,

I'm new and I would like to know how to make a complaint against a Moderator for modifying my post without talking to me about why I posted it.  I posted a legitimate thought about a specific idea about the Chicago Bears.

"

  • 2 hr Sugashane changed the title to 2024 Draft Debate and Discussion"

Sugarshane (moderator) of the Chicago Bears forum has no right to change or modify my post because I didn't break any rules.

Still pitching this… didn’t get an answer after a year and a half.

I don’t know if this is what you are looking for or not, but where it says “Page 3 of 3” there is a down arrow where you can input a page number.  

That’s when you’re already in the thread tho, right?  I mean more like when you're in a sub looking at the multiple threads of discussion. For example, if I go into the Green Bsy sub and see one on NFL News and another on Draft Discussion. It shows the page count but only the opening pages 1, 2, 3, 4 and then the last page.  The old forum would say 1, 2, 3, 4… 88, 89, 90.  LIS I realize this is a first world problem but I do miss being able to click on a page before the last one (in this example I could click on p88.  If that makes sense.
