I've been getting a few PM's about this upgrade. Including more than one person threatening to leave over it.
All we are doing is upgrading to the latest and greatest version of the same software we are using now.
If you scroll down to the very bottom of this screen, you will see that the version of software we are currently using is from 2010.
I have been the one bugging Denny for the upgrade. The number one reason for this, is how hard and outdated our ability to post media/links from other social media sites.
The following either don't work at all or don't work correctly:
Youtube Shorts
X/Twitter
Instagram
Tik Tok
Facebook
Reddit
Bluesky
ESPN
CNN
Amazon
Plus others I can't think of.
One of the nice things about this place is the ability to share and talk about things from other sites. That is becoming increasingly more difficult with our old software. Hell, many of these social media sites weren't even around when this software was first written.
Also, this forum will display better on mobile devices.
In 2010, the percentage of people primarily using smartphones to view the internet was extremely low. Globally, mobile devices accounted for only 1.6% of all web browsing, with desktop computers dominating traffic.
As of 2025, approximately 62% to 64% of global web traffic comes from mobile devices, a figure that continues to rise.
Likes and basic format will remain the same. Also, our years of old posts should also make the journey.
Our number one goal in all of this is to make it easier and more fun to talk about the Blazers and sports.
