So... is there a reason why there's no longer the little red icon on the top right of new posts that show what's been posted since the last time I viewed the thread? Because it doesn't appear for me anymore...

Clicking on a thread title doesn't take me to the first new post anymore either.

They have been dialing up the curse filter and tinkering with other things too, so I think it probably got lost in the shuffle maybe. I didn't notice the red dot since the migration, but mine isn't taking me to the first new post via thread title either. On the other hand, I am not having any problems at all with the PC version of it like some people are, so I don't know.

OK, so upon further investigation, it works fine on mobile for me (both the "new" icon and clicking on the thread title jumping to the first unread post), but on PC it doesn't work. Pretty annoying.

To further update everyone, we are hoping to be discharged from the hospital today. He is tolerating his new feeding tube and just waiting on the medical supplies to continue his care at home.

I was able to catch some of the game last night and it provided a much needed mood boost.

Hoping to get him home then figure out if i can try and find a dealership to take my truck as i don't want to spend to get a new transmission. Im thinking about taking it to Carmax to trade in and hopefully get an suv, anyone have any experience with them?

What are the issues you're having on PC?

For me threads just are not appearing at all.

Mobile is perfectly fine.

If I see a thread that has a new post and I click on the title it doesn't take me to the new post, it leave me at the top of the last page. And it doesn't show which posts are new by having the red rectangle that says "new" in the top right corner.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

On PC this site is incredibly laggy for me.

I have the same issue on PC at times.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I wonder what I am doing differently than you guys - except for the same thing as Striiker (not taking me to the first unread post), I'm not having any problems at all on PC. Maybe it has to do with the ad blocker you are using? I can't remember if we are allowed to talk about those or not.

Bought a new TV a few weeks ago and since then I find myself randomly clicking through a lot of hockey videos, for hours. I just found a video called "Goaltenders taking out players" on youtube, Hextall going after Chelios made me laugh so hard. "Yep, thats the guy preaching patience"

I love that Holmgren gathered the team and told them not to go after him. Except he didn't include Hextall, who was the player that most needed telling.

There are more gems in that video, another clip was Hextall two-handedly slashing Nilsson, seconds after Hextall himself was slashed. What I love about that clip is the announcer saying "see why that happened.. Here, Anderson taps Hextall. That doesnt hurt anybody, now watch what he does." The situation is certainly not new to me but I have never heard the audio there


Hextall with numerous apperances, absolute classic haha

The way they used to slurp on those Oiler teams, and that one in particular, would be familiar to our younger viewers hearing the Nothing But Crosby crew on a national broadcast. Maddening. It's things like this that make you believe in the notion of a malevolent universe.

And now I see it on an even bigger screen damnit

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

has anyone seen that Ice Guardians doc on Neflix?
good stuff. I highly recommend.

Thanks for reminding me, I have been meaning to watch this.

That video is 11 minutes of pure gold...once you get passed some of the outlandish homer calls in there. The Pacioretty on Lundquist one was particularly vomit inducing.

"Doesn't even look like he tried to avoid contact with Lundquist"

Yeah kinda hard to do when you're 2 feet away and getting pushed into him by the defenseman.

That one and the Edmonton guys on the Hexy slash...ugh.

Also, is anyone visiting the board on their PC having issues with getting randomly logged out?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I havent.
yet.

I am almost wondering if you lurk and read (as I often do) but don't post for a certain period of time you get "booted" so to speak. Didn't seem to happen under the old format but....

Also, is anyone visiting the board on their PC having issues with getting randomly logged out?

Yes. Happens on 4 different desktops/laptops. I have not had the issue with any of the mobile versions.

 

[Amorgus]

Well that video brough back two of my earliest Flyers memories

1. Hextall axe-chopping Nillson's leg
2. Chelios splitting Brian Propp's head open and Hextall going for his pound of flesh later on.

For those Trailer Park Boys fans, the actor who plays Jim Lahey has passed away.

Tomorrow I get to (co)teach a lesson that I (co)planned for the first time to my 7th grade class as part of my junior field experience for my history ed major. Never made a lesson plan before this weekend and I've only ever taught lessons that my mentor teacher already had prepared. I'm pretty excited for the opportunity! I'm hoping it'll be a big step towards gaining more experience and feeling more comfortable leading a class full of middle schoolers.
