serge 904 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Is the hockey forum officially dying? Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Was wondering the same thing.Though I have noticed in past years activity tends to die down around April/May, this feels different.btw, I also really dislike the new look of FCP. Is there a way for me to change back to classic or old? This new blue+black thing isnt working for me. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I also dislike the new FCP. I didnt want to be rude , as I know Gov, Bob and the guys have done a great job keeping this place running and do a lot of hard work.Some of the features are really cool, but its harder to navigate..I guess we will get used to it.

Its merely a cosmetic thing for me.Umm, what are some of the new features? Havent poked around much at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 As a old guy change is not good. Messes me up big time. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yeah, I miss the old one too, and I think it does contribute to the decline in posting, but I also think it's just that time of year. Not a lot of Coyotes, Kings, Devils fans in here, and only a handful of Rangers guys.I'm still watching all the games, and I'm into hockey, but not a ton to talk about until the finals and draft, I guess.

iBeaver 409 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hate this new site on mobile which is the only way I can get online these days. Took too long just to post this. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Gov will be changing the type of database that we use which is recommended by our hosting company and the software company so hopefully that speeds things up. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I like the mobile. Easily the best part of the changeover. I never used any old mobile skin. It's basically the same as the 4bb mobile, which is great. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 this... Gov will be changing the type of database that we use which is recommended by our hosting company and the software company so hopefully that speeds things up.posting videos is enough of an upgrade for me to gripe about minor cosmetic changes.Absolutely nothing to do with hockey but it's funny...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9oT5UNJ8YWg&fb_source=message Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Every thread I go to forces me to star on the first post. Tell me what I am missing. This is the only topic I will post in because it's just one page. I can't post in the sickie thread because I would have to press the next page button like 9000 times. Lame.

Lame.Once you have read a thread when you hit that Star it will take you to the first new post since your last read of that thread.Since you haven't read any threads with the new software for the cookies to take you to the first new post I suggest you do one of 2 things.1. Use the full version of the software and visit the last page of the thread you want to read.2. Mark everything as read in your controls or at the bottom of the page when you are viewing the forum index and then when you hit the Star it will take you to the last post in every thread.

ajs510 122 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ok, the speed issue seems to be getting better so I can actually post instead of getting frustrated all the time and not bothering. I'm not really a fan of the layout, but I'll get used to it...not a big deal. The one thing I hate upon hate is that the pinned threads are now part of the main board instead of having their own section like they used to. Very annoying, if there's any way something can be done about that it would be super.I do appreciate all the work that you guys have put into keeping the board alive, so hopefully no one takes the suggestion as bitching. I know I pay zero to be here but if anyone is looking for suggestions or feedback, there ya go. Link to post Share on other sites

His plate if super full at the moment but it is something that will be changed. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafs 142 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Would love to be able to change the template back to the previous one. I just cannot get used to this design. Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't think this board is over at all. A lot of posts are fantasy related and people need a break from fantasy stuff. Also, as far as team allegiences, hockey season is over for most guys. Forum members that support the 4 teams that are left are not huge post guys like myself. I am sure if the Penguins or the Leafs where still involved in the playoffs, this would be a whole different story Link to post Share on other sites
