New Board Format . . . You Likey . . ?

Rivals was the brokest site on the internets. Not saying they have fixed any of their issues, but if this is an attempt I am all for it.
The only thing better than this look is the new football uni.
I wonder how many OOTB recruits will sign on? Probably thousands. Maybe more.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, but what might this mean for the random picture thread? Maybe it won't just freeze up and die. Maybe it will last for years. Maybe we can show it to our children, and they to their children, and so on. Maybe the RPT will finally achieve immortality!
Viva la RPT! Viva! Viva!

Not bad so far. I like how it jumps to the first unread post in a thread.
Miss the drop-down shortcut menu to jump between boards though.

I was a little hesitant to like RH's post because I want to protect my lead. But any mention of the RPT is gonna get a like out of me.
The look-a-like threads are definitely a thing of the past. I just don't see any way that you can put pics beside each other now. But I guess that had run its course anyway. You abandoned ship last year RH.
The old format did look like something straight out of the 90s. It was a shock this morning though. Didn't see it coming.
I heard about the likes, but I had no idea they were going to redo the whole site. It's growing on me, though.
I'm sure it will be fine once I get used to the changes. As mentioned, the old site was archaic-looking.
Yeah....everyone except me. Y'all left me by myself on the front lines, with my **** hanging in the wind. Not that I'm still angry about it or anything.....
And the obvious way to continue the LAL is to create the side-by-side LAL on paint or photoshop or what have you, save it to your computer, then upload it to a pic-hosting site.....THEN post it on here. Sounds easy and not time-consuming right? Right? Guys...?
Just found a possible solution.
At the top of the page, under the Tar Heel Illustrated banner, there's a ribbon with the "home" icon on the far left and the message board pathways to the right of that. At the far right of the ribbon is an icon to "open quick navigation." If you click that, there's a scrolling window that lets you choose between the message boards.
I figured it out.
If you click on the "+Quote button, it will add that quote to a queue or cache of quotes. When you're typing a reply, there is a button outside the bottom left of the message box that says "Insert Quotes..." If you click that, your multi-quote cache appears and you can select whichever of those quotes you want to include in your reply.
I'm all for positive changes, but I'm not feeling this. Looks like Rivals has jumped onboard (pun intended) the trend of trying to "gamify" their appearance, and with all the ad banners, oversized icons, hundreds (literally) of text edit buttons, etc....it's just unorganized, untidy clutter (to me).
Not to mention, I feel like my screen not looks like an 80 year old's. The site doesn't have to be so blown up that it looks like we're looking at it through a magnifying glass. Just sayin'

So about that avatar....
Face was a little dry that day. Wind was brutal
In my experience very few forums allow you to upload pics directly from your PC or mobile device. That would require them to actually host all those pictures. And those that do, it usually doesn't work very well.
