Ok...tonight when I get home i'm going to update Butkus & Heisman to how I have the National Championships. They won't be in power point anymore. I will also update the draft board & coaching history. I'm pissed b/c I did update coach history but for some f'n reason I can't find it. I probably didn't save it on "desktop" which I usually do. F'n technology.
The message board will be taking a rapid change. It's going to be better. You know on facebook how they have the "like" button? Well, that will be on here for each and every post. There is a bunch of new stuff that will happen with the message board too. It will be bad ass. It'll be over the next week, they just have to send me the link for me to update it. Holla.
One more thing...Eberry will be in charge while I am going. He is the interim prez, what he says goes. Nobody else has any say, except me. He can't make up new rules or anything like that. He's the dictator and you are his peasants.

You can set notifications to where anytime someone "quotes" you or mentions you in a post you will get a notification, like in facebook.
You will also be able to "like" a post or comment just like facebook.
You can attach multiple files to a post all at once.
You can make your own avatar, pretty dope. Like you can design the face, beard, glasses, etc.
It will have "recent threads" and "new topics", kind of the same I think.
The navigation will be easier with "arrows" that you can click on and a pop up will come up. You won't have to keep clicking.
It has a shout box, which I still don't fully understand, this is what it says:
Shoutbox
All forums now come with an integrated shoutbox (disabled by default). This shoutbox is fully integrated with the forum. It optionally supports guest posting, allows you to edit and delete shouts, and will even live-update for 5 minutes using AJAX if you post a shout to it.
Conversations (this is pretty cool too)
No longer are you limited to having only two people involved in a Personal Message. Our new Conversations system allows you to send a message to multiple users at the same time, allowing them all to participate in the same conversation. Also, we have added a new Forward Conversation option, allowing you to send a copy of a conversation to a different member.
Following and Friends
You can now "Follow" other members on a forum. There are a few benefits you get by following a member:
If two members follow each other they automatically are labeled as "Friends" on the forum There is a new tab in your profile called Following where you can see the activity of all the members you are following (such as topics they have participated in). When you follow another member they will automatically show up higher in the Member Search Box than members you are not following (excluding exact username matches).
@username
Ever wanted to mention someone in a post and link to their profile? Now it's easy! We have a new @username feature to accomplish this. All you need to do is type @ followed by their username in your post. This will automatically link to this member's profile and will tag them in the post, notifying them if they have notifications turned on.
Don't know a member's username? No problem! Just hover you mouse over their display name to find out. If you're creating a new post click on the member icon to popup our Member Search Box and you can do a quick search for them as well.
This is not a complete list of new features. There are many, many new features in v5. If you haven't already, read the FAQ or go ahead and access v5!

Just got a sneak peak at the new message board as well and prez is right, its a vast improvement over what we have here (which i think is still really solid). the ease of navigation will help immensely and the whole social network-like aspect of it will make it more fun.
Bart Scott, Cant Wait!
