elliot878 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Welcome to the new forum, and welcome to the new intro and random thread. Over the last year or so there have been a lot of new members.

elliot878 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hey guys, in case you're wondering what happened to everyone's signature? - you need to "allow signatures" in your account setup to see others sigs/see your own. To do this, at the top right of any page, click the drop down arrow next to your username, then click "Account Settings" then on the left side navigation there will be a "Signatures" link. Once you've clicked into there you will need to click the button over that says "View Signatures" switch this from Gray to Green, then click Save, and you'll be able to see sigs again.

elliot878 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Wanted to throw this up to show the progress of the transition to the new forum. I never really cared about the number of posts of our forum vs the others, (mainly because I didn't know the starting point when I took over as a mod). Starting from zero though, it is interesting, and it gets my competitive juices flowing trying to keep the discussions going as we get closer to the regular season. So here is where we stand AFC West We're leading the pack with 123 posts Raiders are in 2nd with 92 Chargers are 3rd with 22 Chiefs are last with 14 Hopefully the actual standings are in this order at the end of December. League Wide Browns 402 posts Bengals have 360 Jags 737 Titans 555 Cowboys 133 Eagles 2275 Redskins 183 Packers 686 Vikings 494 Saints 276 9ers 428 So, currently we're middle of the pack in terms of activity. Let's get this forum back to it's prime where we were one of the most active. If you notice anyone in the old forum hasn't been posting here, shoot them a pm and encourage them to make their way over here. Good work guys! Lets stay on top of the AFC West where we belong!
