Packers Huddle

Hey gang,

Thanks for making our first month and half together on the new site fun and informative. We would like to take this time to take a step back and solicit some feedback from those of you you visit and call this site home. What's good and what can be improved?

Specifically:

How has your overall experience been using the site?
How has your experience been using the site on a mobile device?
Have you experienced any issues that you didn't have an issue with at the old site?
Have you had any issues with any of the new features?
- Any additional features you have seen that you wish would be incorporated here?
- Do you enjoy the Lombardi "like" feature?
- Have you used the Share On feature to link to FaceBook or Twitter? Would you prefer these buttons were eliminated?
- Have you used the Save Draft feature? If so, do you like it? We may look to eliminate this depending on usage and level of effort required.

Poster Challenges:

Do you have family and/or friends that like to talk Packers? We would like to challenge everyone to do a little recruiting. The more, the merrier!!

Poster COMPETITION:

Now that most have migrated over and got used to that familiar background image from the old site, we would like to update it to a more current, full-size (1,920 x 1,080) background image to spruce the place up, a bit. We are counting on you to find the best background. Lambeau, locker room, huddle, etc. Whatever you think is best. Free free to post the pictures in response to this thread. Winning background will receive a sweet, cut-out, custom avatar, courtesy of [mention]salmar80[/mention] (sorry, volunteering you)!!

Finally, again, thanks for making this the place for your Packers fix. If there is anything we can do to make your visits more enjoyable, please do let us know.

Go Pack Go!!

The Mod Team

Is it possible to get full board link path at the bottom of the page as it is at the top? For Example at the top there is Home<Board Index<Packers-huddle.com<JustJeff's Packers Discussion. At the bottom it is just Home<Board Index.

Love everything else about the new home!

I don't know if y'all have noticed, but I LOVE the list feature.

I also love how easy it is to post imaged, and that I don't have to save them first and upload them, but can copy and paste them.

These new digs are outstanding. I am much happier with the functionality, while pleased with the overall familiarity.

I can't wait to use the spoiler function for some of my longer-form original posts where I have extra info if you're curious, but want it folded up and condensed for casual reading. I love being able to give people lombardis for posts I like instead of posting, like " +1 "

Honestly, I am very pleased. Is there someone somewhere I can Venmo a few bucks of gratitude? Who did this? How did this happen?

The new site is dank.

I haven't used save draft and I'm not sure when I would; I'd just leave a window open if I was working on something.

Thw save draft is a nice feature. Once or 2x I've left a mock open and got logged out. This has been fixed but still a nice feature.


Great site. I have 2 friends join and another one or 2 that will shortly.

I like the trophy for like. Maybe add a few others like disagree or informative or even a wtf/huh. Ha. Nothing major just a way for ppl that dont post much to get their feelings on posts

Site is good. Thanks for the hard work, mod team.

Now that the infuriating feature of reviewing other comments before you can post is disabled, i have 0 complaints

This is a significant upgrade. Молодець!

This is a definite step up! Thank you!

That said, I'd only ask for one thing. This is different than what 23 asked for. But didn't we used to have the title of the thread in each comment block? And we don't now. I'd like to have that in place.

I have to admit that sometimes I start to think about a comment that I'd like to make and as I scroll through the other comments toward the bottom of the page, I might actually forget what the title of the thread is! This would help guys like me. Thanks. And if the mods decide not to incorporate that, I won't be offended either. It's all good!

Thread titles on posts will return. We though removing them would lessen scrolling, but it has led to more of it

Great new site guys, top work.

The trophy 'like' feature is great but if I'm being really picky I'd prefer it if it took one click rather than two. (Not that I use it much anymore but on FF liking is just one click).

Love the way we can post youtube videos, tweets and images etc. However with images they don't come up in quoted replies. It just says '<image>' or something where the image was on the original post. If that could be fixed, would be great.

The site definitely has incorporated some of that charm from the old place. Honestly, nothing really to complain about. Posting options are nice, and so are the new smileys. I still forget the Lombardi trophy thing exists.

The only thing I couldn't stand was the "Post Preview" that was disabled.

Other than that...

I also wish I could find a way to make it one click.

I would also like to be able to see who is liking other people’s posts. Not sure either is possible with our current extension we have, possible we could see if there are others available we could try.

Has anyone used the Share On -feature (the buttons in the lower right of posts) to share topics or posts on social media?


Or if you were unaware of the feature, would you use it?

The idea was to have a way to make it easy to share quality posts and topics to your friends, to maybe lure some new fine posters into the fray. My mostly Finnish friends think of football as the sport where, you know, you use your feet to play the ball, so I have zero use for it.

It adds a tiny bit of scrolling to every post, and no point in having it if no one uses it.

There's unfortunately no way to make the "like" -trophy single click, without custom modding that forum extension, which is too scary. We'll keep an eye out for such a thing. The current one would allow us to have several different reactions, but we wanted to keep it as a simple positive thing and let the smilies do the rest.

BTW, if you wanna see who recently "liked" your posts, you can go to your User Control Panel and check it out. I'm cool with not knowing who liked others' posts.

As for images in quoted replies, there is a way. There are two ways to add images:

1) Copy-pasted screenshots (like the image above) saved as attachments, and due to reasons unknown, they aren't shown when you quote posts including them. BUT,

2) If you first save the image on your computer, you can use the button to upload it to Imgur. The linked image will be visible in replies, just like when you link to any image on the internets with the [ img ] tags.
