    Important News Update Regarding NFL-Forums
    Thanks to the many suggestions and comments we've received over the past month, we've been able to make several improvements to NFL Forums. The new improvements are listed below.



    Better Look and Navigation (at least we think so)
    We changed the header for two reasons: (1) the objection of some members to displaying a member of a specific team, and (2) for users that use 800 x 600 display the forum was off-centered or off the screen partially. The new navigation should fix that problem. If not, please let us know.

    Also, we added pop-up menus on the left hand side of the screen. These will only work in Internet Explorer. If too many of our members are using Netscape or some other browser, please let us know and we will change the menu format.

    More changes may come to the header, specifically, employing a rotating image depending on the forum you enter. This will take some time as image editing takes a while.



    New Post Notification
    A few minor changes here.

    New posts will be in bold, as always.
    A link, to the right of the subject, will bring you immediately to the new post.
    If there is a dot in front of the subject, that means that you have contributed to that post.


    Poll System
    We are REALLY excited about this new feature. You can now post polls and have members vote. Posting is very simple. When you post a new topic, simply check the box that says "Post a new poll". You will see several new boxes appear below where you checked. Fill these out and post as normal.

    Private Messaging System
    After each persons post, you will see a link for "PM". This will allow you to send a private message to just that individual. There is a link at the top of the page which will allow you to check your private messages.

    News from Around the League
    This is in its beta form. The news here is taken from GoogleNews and is an aggregate of searches for each specific team. We hope to make the news more relevant soon, but in the meantime, enjoy what is there. The page may take some time to load, this is something that we will be working on as well.

    Other Forums
    Ok, so there aren't other forums yet, but we are working on getting those up as soon as possible.

    Columns
    We have a person who writes sports columns who will be updating this site with his views of the NFL. These views are his own and are nothing more than an editorial. Check often for these.

    Summary
    As you can see, there are a lot of new features installed. This is the result of 2 weeks of work on improving the forums. Your suggestions are invaluable, as are your help in recruiting new members. If you get the chance, try to recruit one more member to the forums today!

    We look forward to the rest of the playoffs, the draft, and next season! Thanks everyone!
