So, does it cost Rivals more money to support the thread view?...

I don't get it. It seems some people think change is better, but I've found that to not always be the case. I think the Chat going to topic view will prove disastrous.

Besides, it's difficult for ole dawgs to learn new tricks.

CEO of Yahoo! is an ex-Gaggme (very liberal)......I personally think......

they're trying to stifle community and unity amongst all posters on all the sports boards because we all know what this treasonist president and administration is up to. Should one sound the warning to everybody else, the topic view helps to stifle that somewhat. Just my thinking, fwiw......:)
 
This change will be about as popular as Windows 8*

Somebody needs to get a clue.
 
It's because on mobile, ie iPhone, iPad, Android, etc, thread view is not compatible as it slows the board down - literally - not to mention other technical issues. Nothing to do with money or anyone's political persuasion.

Re: Keeping Chat thread view will break Yahoo financially *

Dang, they must be operating on a really tight budget. If that's the case, a freeloader like myself am not helping them one iota.
 
Concur, I bought an older Dell with Windows 7 just to get away from it...

Best $300 I ever spent. Lol
 
Gotcha. So, it is all about being more compatible with mobie devices...

And, I don't even use mobile devices.

That's a part, but not all. If they didnt get new servers the boards as we know them this second would have burned and then we would have had trouble. Remember the Signing Day fiasco? Even now on mobile, you can't do squat, tag who you are responding to or see who others are talking to. In the new topic view you will be able to see that, including mobile. And I swear it won't be hard.

Obviously a 100 old farts at $120 a year can't change the tide...

Do you like it better now that you can't put up the schedules? Technology is great until it loses any human connection. I'll probably stay around to read team content etc...but my time will be spent elsewhere. It's cool, you guys will still make money from the youngsters. GATA
 
Re: Obviously a 100 old farts at $120 a year can't change the tide...

I understand everyone will miss thread view but in the grand scheme of things the Chat is the only forum in the entire Rivals network where thread is the default.
That's why folks here and some on the Vent who uses it are upset.
Every other place folks - even older ones - are excited about the changes, again, from what I can tell in talking to other publishers

Not 1 of 315,624 post were ever posted on a mobile device and

I've never even seen a post received on 1.
 
If mobile device includes iPhone then about 25% of mine have....

Including this one. I don't try to do any photo posting etc but no issues just to CHAT. Guess that's the issue. Don't do Twitter or facebooks etc... So no issues. Cept I can't type worth a shit on my phone lol
 
Sequester Chat, or is it One Size Fits All. Dealt w/same All my life....

with shoes and hats. One size does not fit all....shoes gonna hurt you if not right no matter how much the salesman and Mom's impatience. I have lived that torture.

Issue now...I'm 54 years old. Will not take it like I did at 8-9 years old. At my age, I know what I want...not how YOU want to give it to me!

Just talkin''

Go to the main board now and see for yourself. I don't go over there...

But it's already been transformed
 
Re: Go to the main board now and see for yourself. I don't go over there...

Not a member over there, but, from what I can see, it looks like thread view to me.
 
Re: If mobile device includes iPhone then about 25% of mine have....

Hell, I'll be 50 in four days so you not much ahead of me. Lol. I got ARP trying to give me all kinds of sheet now....I was a threader too until i went to the darkside. There's going to be some things with the new features to get used to, no questions.
But I'm about as far from a puter literate person that there is. I can barely type in the little window I'm looking at (on my phone), but the new system taint hard. I was just on it for five minutes and figured out most of the gory details. It was easy. If I can do it I know you codgers can

They pull this s#!t just as I was about to go premium again ...

because they had finally brought back the sig pics. I agree that topic view is a huge mistake, and I won't pay for that crap. If they want to destroy the Chat, topic view is a good way to do it. Oh well, there are other things I can spend the hundred bucks on, especially when i have so little time lately to get on my computer.

Re: Sequester Chat, or is it One Size Fits All bs. Dealt w/same All my life....

LMBO at the memory. They had to order me a 7 7/8" helmet cause apparently nobody else's haid had ever been bigger than 7 3/4". And frosh teammate Lurch Hertwig had a 17+" shoe, IIRC. I will be 63 in July.
 
I get by fine with Thread View on my iPhone. If it's a server issue ...

and a matter of cost, I can understand and accept, but you have to admit that topic view totally sucks as a way of seeing what's going on.

I want to find a 100 dollar bill laying in driveway too, but it's not going to happen. Lol. I hear ya on the thread view but I'm afraid it's not going to be available unfortunately
