I've upgraded the board to the next major version. This is a significant upgrade from Version 4 to Version 5. I've been putting this off for almost a year as I didn't want to do it mid-season. Now with activities for next season starting, I wanted to get the upgrade in before next season activities start so any bugs can get worked out. Why the upgrade.... This gets us on the most current version, which is important for security updates and new functionality. They have been doing security patches for the old version, but that won't last forever, and this also lets me upgrade some of the software that the board runs on to a current version. Like everything else, the people who make the board software are really trying to push everyone to their cloud, as that gives them higher recurring revenue. But their hosting costs do not make sense for the size of the forum (it would 2x to 4x the cost I pay now depending on what plan we went to). Good news for now is they've committed to version 5 of the software to be self hosted. That should hopefully buy 5 - 10 years before they go to version 6. Please be patient There is going to be some tweaks and changes you'll notice over time, feel free to post in here anything that seems off or not right, there are still some tweaks that need to make to settings and the theme. Some changes you may notice They completely changed how tagging works. Now admins / mods can maintain a list of tags, members can't create new ones. This was done to better categorize and search content. All existing tags have been converted, but let me know if you want new tags created. Support for Web Apps on your phone Complete theme overhaul. A new theming system means I've had to rebuild the theme. It is close to what we used to have, but there will be some discrepancies. There are still some more tweaks and updates I want to make to it. There is a completely revamped post editor. It does seem to be easier to use and more powerful. A lot of other behind the scenes updates and changes to things we don't use that often.

Busted!! I will show myself out now..I got coaching to learn 😁 Yeah we would on Fridays sometimes hit the Beer Bash in the oak room at U of M back in the day...with Walby...Dave Black could pound them back too As younger players we would then bounce between Strawberries and Scandals...West and Jones loved that scene and usually Quincy Williams and Bovell made those trips...Quincy loved his whiskies...R.I.P to the big fella

I’m 93% sure @Noeller is Jake Thomas.

Hell we have had players, players parents at very least post on message boards prior to this one so I doubt I'd be surprised by anything. I'm 90% sure Glen Suitor reads these boards and uses it for his material prep.

I hate change. This is going to take me like a year to get used to.

Same. Good guy.

I get good information, I'm very close to the team. In 2004 I worked with a girl whose best friends sister was hooking up with Andrew Harris

Thanks for this.

You dont stick around the NFL at 5 foot 5 as a running back unless you got talent. Hopefully he comes motivated. He can run under the legs of the guys in the trenches. Hit the F gap JJ..lmao

This team sucks.

Ill tell you that there is nothing a pro football player likes more than free beer from a fan. Absolutely, the level of football fan knowledge here is high. If I were a journalist covering the Bombers this would be must read stuff. That's why Noeller signs his PMs "Fatboi"...Who knew? But seriously we all know Jake Thomas is Booch.

this is awesome. I wish that coach call-in shows worked like this. If some fan wants to talk out their ass on the coach's show, first they need to buy the coach a beer. It would be a better product from every perspective.

yes you would be shocked who may "peruse" let alone post under some funky alias I also certain some of the CFL media types do get some their talking points here

I DO have some very valuable inside, privy-type info. When going to the privy, doing so inside is waaaay better than outside. You may find that controversial, but it is entirely true. In general, I don't like that insider info type of thing. 99% of the time, it's BS. 1-2 people on here do get some, but the nature of football is that you might get it, and it might be true. Then, 2 weeks later, it changes. If it's a week-old bit of info, it could go south very fast. Because I'm not involved in the follow ups, I generally disregard inside info. People would be surprised by some of the types who lurk on here, or the relationships a few posters have with players, coaches, etc. I can speak to that from personal experience, and for an absolute fact. What people tell them with those relationships, I can't speak to.

It's the degree of certainty with which people in this board speak, in regards to things that may or may not have happened... That amazes me day in and day out.

Love it!!!

What kills me is... wtf was thislats year. You know. Something. Something. Grey. Cup. Hosting. Something.
