Winnipeg @ Ottawa GDT
Game time is 6:00 PM local. The 3 - 2 Bombers take on the 1 - 4 defending Grey Cup champions. Looks to be a humid day in Ottawa with temperatures at 26 degrees Celsius come game time, feeling like 34. 60% chance of rain increasing to 80% by the time the game ends. Could be a hot wet game. Bombers need this win to keep pace with the West and keep Ottawa down for that important cross over spot. Ottawa needs this win to get their season back on track. Going to be a fun one in the Nation's capital tonight!

Site Update
I found this setting, but it turns out it also puts a box in the header to show where you are. See the box around the Forums link in the header right now. I tried the blue but it doesn't look any better then the black that is there right now. The box was hidden before because it was gold on gold. I don't really care for the box in the header. Curious what other people think.

No, it is still the new site. Just been tweaking it.

Site Update
It never went away, they just changed how it works. If you have a thread with new posts that you haven't read yet, there is a circle that appears on the left side of the thread. If you click the circle, it will take you to the first unread post. This works on both desktop and mobile.

Just an update, these haven't been forgotten and are still on my radar with a couple of other tweaks I'm working on that I'd like to make (like the background image showing on tweets). There about a billion customization options with no instructions of what they all mean, so it is a bit trial and error of changing one or a couple of things and trying to figure out how it affects the site.

I think I've fixed the ad problem. The mobile version shouldn't extend out past the width of your screen anymore. It was the ad that was extending out, but I've changed the ad to be responsive, seems to have fixed it. There was an overhaul to the embed functionality with the 4.2 release. New setting to cap the width of embeds. I've set it to 1200 px. This is really going to be monitor dependant (though it will auto scale down if you have a smaller screen) This won't change previously embedded content, only new content. Let me know if 1200 looks too large as well.

Site Update
I'd actually like to reverse the white and grey so that the main post is on white background and quoted posts on grey. But there is a graphic I need to track down and change with it.

Post count is still there. I don't think it shows in the mobile view, but it is there on a PC browser.

We can give these a try. They've been added.

Site Update
The chat room is a separate app from the software itself, but there was an upgrade that was applied at the same time that I upgraded the board. Let me know if it fixes it during the next game day chat.

You can change it back to the original view by clicking the Table View next to the Start New Topic button on the main page.

Site Update
New theme is uploaded and configured. It probably needs some more tweaks, so any feedback is welcome. I will probably continue to tweak it a bit as time goes by. For the new Fluid Forum View, this theme works with it properly. So if you didn't like it before, maybe try it again with a proper theme. You can select which forums you want to appear in the fluid view. I can put the stickies back to the top in fluid view, but I think there are too many stickied threads right now, it takes away from the intent of fluid view. I can put it back and see if there are any stickied threads we really don't need.

Site Update
I've applied the update for the next major version of the boards software this morning. First thing you will probably notice is the formatting of some things are a little off. Nothing that makes the board unreadable, but the thread formatting where the posters name is really off. The people who make the current theme have gone out of business, so look for a new look to the board, probable some time this weekend, or as soon as I can find an appropriate one. Some of the new features: Reactions - replaces the Like feature. You can now respond to posts in a variety of ways rather then just like. Custom reaction can be added as well Fluid Forum View - Going to experiment with this one for a bit, and see if I can find a way to bring the Twitter feed back with it. You will see a box on the right hand side of forums that will let you switch between the forums and find new content faster. This basically dumps all forums into a single view so you can see new posts across forums easier, or zero in on specific forums. Give this some time to see how you like it, To change this back to the old way, go to the home page of the forum, there are now 3 boxes next to the Start New Topic button that let you choose how you prefer to view the board. Post your feedback in this thread. Miscellaneous - You will find some moderator features allow moderators to make notes or feature posts in ways they couldn't before Clubs - This is a new feature I've enabled where anyone can make a public or private club about anything they want. Still learning how this works, I've created a curling club as a test, but it seems like it is really segregated from the main board. Might need some more research on this one. Many other upgrades and features you will find throughout. Let me know if you find any issues. #1 priority will be finding a suitable new theme so that everything looks nice and pretty. I will be tweaking it throughout the weekend.

Regular Season - Bomber News, Developments & Speculation
And most of that is from the city failing or overestimating what they could recover from the old stadium site. Without qualifying the title of their article it really sounds like the Bombers aren't paying their mortgage payments.

NFL is moving towards full time refs. Will be a phased in approach so they don't have all their experienced refs with other jobs quit all at once. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2699793-roger-goodell-dean-blandino-say-nfl-wants-to-move-to-full-time-referees - Week 5 Pick 'Ems
