The mobile skin seems to use a lot less battery on my Droid 2. Didn't have to plug it in at all during the game while in the game thread. Nice!

Dont click the topic title, but rather the circle, star or Raven logo to the left of the topic title.

Yeah. But say during a game I put the phone down and watch a bit. The game thread grows by 5 pages. I dont want to read all five pages, I want to catch up to where people are discussing what JUST happened. I tap on the thread title, I'm taken to the first page, I tap on the little star (thats a the only other option I have, no Ravens logo and no circle....just a blue star or a blank star) and it takes me to the last post I read (kinda). Now Im five pages back and have to tap through those five pages. On the old version I could select "last" or "X" for the last page number.

You can click the timestamp for the last post (for example: "A minute ago" or "45 minutes ago") underneath the last poster's name on the right side of the screen when viewing the list of threads. That'll take you to the last post made.

Alternately, while viewing a thread, you can click on the double-arrows at the very end of the page count if you're not already on the last page.

Does anyone know how to update your website info, I was looking at Franchise's profile(which I follow him on Twitter) and he still has his Twitter listed and stuff, but I can't seem to figure out how to put that on my Profile.

Go to Edit Profile while viewing your profile, and on the first tab that opens up, you scroll down to Contact Information and just put in your usernames for each social network/IM service that you wish to share. In the case of Twitter, [i]don't[/i] put your entire URL, just your username. It's not clickable either way.

Thanks! Now how does it work with promoting work you do on other sites? I know you can't promote anything in a Thread but could you put a link to a site you work for? Like I told you I just started writing for a NFL Site writing for the Texans, and I was going to post the link for those who were interested could read it. Could i put that in my profile?

Yes. Your profile isn't in plain view, so you can (within reason) put what you want. The Code of Conduct still applies content-wise, but your profile is where you can share your blog, Facebook, MySpace, whatever. Nothing commercial or for-profit is allowed.

Several reasons, some of which include:
1) Easier moderating tools
2) Faster performance
3) Increased emphasis on social interaction and social networking features

Speaking to performance, I've found that the boards are much smoother than in years past. While I would still prefer for the default IP Board skin to be brought back as an option, this Ravens skin is much more responsive and has so many more features than previous versions.

I would LOOOOVE the old IP skin because this color scheme is hard on my eyes but I have not gotten a busy server error since this went live.

Yeah me too. It is running a lot better though. I didn't get choked up at all in the game thread last night.
