Come to think of it, I did that last September. ;)

I didn't get this reference initially. If you're talking about the thread I think you're talking about, that's pretty mild stuff compared to some of mine. And you get another chance to redeem yourself on the anniversary of your birth.:)

Maybe the mystery e mail contains bad info, so if you didn't get one that would be a good thing.

Anyone else getting a lastest thread list and a tweet list on the right side of the screen?

I don't like it and can we please get rid of it or have an option to hide it?

Thanks

Yes. Under and above ads since I'm not (yet) a contributor.

Highly distracting, annoying and it makes reading the thread more difficult since it compacts the thread. I'm also getting my user information. I know who I am and don't really care when I last visited. There! My gripe for the day and in before 9:00am!

At first blush, I don't like it. But it's possible it will grow on me. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't end up liking it in a week or two.

I meant I was getting the new features AND the ads.


The whole site is smushed and much harder to read

Yeah I forgot how much harder it would be to read this site on a smaller screen with the latest threads section. I suggest it be turned off inside of threads for everyone and that users control whether they see it as part of the regular board layout. JMO.

I like the latest thread idea and the tweet section myself. I don't really care for the box that reminds me who I am. However, I remain the right to change my mind on that in a few years when senility kicks in.

I am still tweaking it. The ads you see as a non supporting member is by far less then what Keebali had. There are only 3 and the site loads super fast compared to Keebali's 6 - 8 ads they had on the site.

Congratulations!

Thanks for buying the site, Shaggy and Iceman.

As a Phoenician for the past 36 years, I am glad ASFN is, once again, locally owned.

And thanks for reducing the width of the column on the right significantly. It was a good compromise to my suggestion (on the Suns board) to not leave it as it had been changed.

Ironically, without scrolling down the list, I would not have seen this thread, because I post to just the Suns and D-backs boards.

Good job, guys. :thumbup::thumbup: I am proud to be a contributor. I hope to see more posters do the same.

So is Keebali going to refund me the $18.95 they stole from me and you guys after you took over ownership. That $18.95 should be in your pocket as my contribution to ASFN, not theirs.

BTW, I never opted for auto renewal.

I will. The latest thread will probably be staying but may tweak the ad sizes so you aren't losing so much forum space.
