Hey everyone,
Just a quick head's up that
Rivals.com will be launching brand spanking new "National" Message
Boards early Thursday morning. Starting at approximately 9 p.m. PT
Wednesday night, Rivals.com will begin the process of migrating data for
the following Message Boards: High School Sports Central and for you National Pastime fans - College Baseball Clubhouse.
EDIT TO ADD: all the boards remain, including their existing names.
Once
the migration is complete (approximately 4 to 5 hours with no major
complications), the new Rivals.com "National" Message Boards will be
live and ready for your enjoyment. The Rivals.com team will monitor the
new boards for the next 72 hours, and if all goes well, we intend on
launching the new Message Boards across every site in the network
(including your home sites) this coming Monday night/Tuesday early am.
Here are some of the new Features & Benefits for the new Rivals.com Message Boards:
1. They 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. Improved navigation and search:
quickly jump to the first unread post in a thread or to the top and
bottom of each thread. Advanced search features include by keyword, date
or thread title. Plus, you can link directly to a thread or a reply
within a thread with permalinks.

Once
we launch Thursday morning, you will notice a pinned post titled:
"Help! How Do I ... for the New Rivals.com Message Boards." Click on
that link and you will have numerous threads walking you through
everything you need to help make your Message Board experience a truly
fun and dynamic one.
Thank you for being a Rivals.com subscriber.
Your loyalty to Rivals.com and its local publisher sites is one of the
reasons we continue to have the strongest community in the business.
The Rivals.com team and I will have more Product enhancement announcements in May ... and more to come after that.
