ANNOUNCEMENT

[Mike Gwinn]

Rivals is proud to announce that today the premium "Main Board" will transition to the new message board system. If everything goes well, then all school site message boards will be transferred on Monday, April 20th. New subscriber and log in pages will go online in May.

The new MBs will allow you to post tweets, facebook posts, vines, IG posts, video and pics by simply dropping the URL in the message box. Users' profiles will be more "social" in that you can easily upload profile pics, like posts, tag users in posts and send DMs.

No longer will a separate URL be needed for the mobile site. The main URL is both the full site and mobile site. It's clean, easy to use and very much needed!

I've been able to test drive the new boards for the last few months and I'm excited for you guys to get to use them! I'll have some example screen shots up soon showing what the forums landing pages will look like.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to post that!

What about private messages?

 

[Mike Gwinn]

Yes, private messaging is one of the features. You'll be able to post tweets, FB posts, IG, Vine, video and pics into a thread by dropping the URL into the message box. You can also like posts in a thread and tag users. Just a few of the new boards features.
