From Orangebloods:
For those that have been asking, here is a quick sneak peak of the new Rivals message boards that have finally been completed in development and are in preparation for launch in the next month or so throughout the entire Rivals network. Myself and the Orangebloods.com team have been involved in the Beta testing behind the scenes.
Some of the key new features it will include... (along with having the Orangebloods.com logo, proper colors, etc. that aren't shown below)...
1. The new Rivals.com Message Boards are a responsive design; meaning, they were designed for desktop, tablets and mobile - all in one design and all at the same URL. No need to go to a different address to get the proper version for your device.
2. They have a modern, secure and actively maintained framework built for speed & stability.
3. There will be No limit on Thread History, so you can reference old topics or replies at any time.
4. There is Private Messaging, Social Profiles and Rich(er) Content - embeddable video, embeddable Tweets, etc)
5. You now can set up alerts and follow users so you don't miss replies to topics you're participating in or miss great posts from your favorite users. In your "News Feed" you'll be able to see all of the topics, users, and content that you wish to follow.
6. Dynamic quoting system so what you select within a thread can be quoted without copying and pasting any code. You select what you want to quote and click Reply over that selection, and it will be put automatically in your reply. You can quote multiple posts and automatic quoting is set up so that you can always follow the conversation with a user forgetting to quote.
7. You can receive emails that notify you of threads that you are participating in to see if someone replied to you or just to be notified when there are interesting threads you chose to follow.
8. Much, much more to come...
As we get closer to board launch, we'll provide a list of How To topics that will guide you through everything you need to know about the new message boards.
An important note ...
Because OB is the largest site in the network, the migration plan will likely have us as the last part of release/update so that the engineers can go small sites to large to ensure accuracy with the release.
