SITE MIGRATION NOTICE (please read) & other related talk about format

[LeafsNation75]

They need to improve the servers.

That deadline day was pretty awful for this site.

Hopefully they fix it come the draft

I would add free agent day on July 1 to that list.

Would be cool if the sticky thread section could be 'closed'. Personally I don't care about the Raps, Jays, or even the city of Toronto for that matter.

I'd rather have a sticky section that held a location for each player.

The Leafs Mods dont want that.
Infact they ditched the [player] prefix to make player threads hard to find.

 

[Daisy Jane]

looking at other forums, i don't want a bucket of sticky stuff, but imo this is the Leafs board. it would be nice if the Leafs general discussion thread (thus eliminating a lot of multiple threads on info we're already talking in there) was stickied, the 5 game segment thing, was, and just. most leaf stuff and let the raptors thread, blue jays thread not be, I don't understand why on the Leafs board you have to go to page 2-3 to get what we need.

OR because we have so much traffic can we have our own subforum? i don't see why we don't.

Administrations directs Mods to use as few sticky thread as possible.

This site is unusable without an adblocker. I didn't realize mine was turned off for a few days (just thought the ads had gotten ahead of the current system), and I switched to using my phone it was so bad before I realized the site somehow got whitelisted.

 

[StuckOutHere]

As a guy who does this for a living, it seems that this migration has not gone well.

Or you could pay the $12 a year to be a sponsor and avoid ads that way while still supporting the site.

I'll gladly do that if they get the server working well enough it doesn't crash when important things happen (aka this years draft night experience).

anyone else has to login every 2 minutes?

 

[Leafsman]

anyone else has to login every 2 minutes?

That would be my only suggestion - fix the "stay logged in" function. Other than that, I think it is good

 

[OddyOh]

It was doing that to me about a week ago, so I changed my bookmark for the site to start with https instead of http, that instantly fixed it for me. I’m using Safari and Chrome.

Definitely not working

That worked for me on Opera......thanks for the tip.

I have Ad Block Plus for Safari and zero issues.

The server on busy days.......that's another topic.

i have found a situation to rectify this problem.

 

[TheCLAM]

The new layout is more polished, but still prone to crashing servers come heavy times.. unreliable IMO

Should go back to text based.

Everything would be much quicker and efficient.

I know you're joking but Usenet was infinitely better than this (unless you enjoy power tripping mods that are typically the biggest trolls watching over you). I refused to join a forum like this for over a decade until Usenet finally completely died. It's everything I expected. I especially like the new banner ads the last few days that take up half the screen and don't go away

They had a text only option here I can't remember which iteration, might have been prior to the 2002 update when everyone had to rejoin.

Was much better for browsing at work.
