Changes are coming... hopefully by tomorrow am, definitely by the weekend.

 

Guessing many of you have the forum as your bookmark:
http://www.baltimore...dlife.com/forum

 

If that is the case, it would be appreciated if you bookmark the actual homepage, and enter the forum that way:
http://www.baltimoresportsandlife.com

 

Know it is an extra 1/2 step in some cases... but we are excited about the updates we are rolling out.

That will require 2-additional clicks... to the forum, then to "view new content". But given you kept this place free, and treated us all well, I'll gladly do that for you. No problem.

Hopefully Tapatalk remains an option for when I'm on the go.

I always enter the forum through the main page.  Because I'm an amazing poster that deserves his own podcast.

Done.  Looking forward to it.  

 

I also deserve my own podcast.

Looking forward to the changes. Just as long as you're not merging us with the foxhole ;)

Real cute.

 

In seriousness, the changes tonight will make the site look that much better...  but I don't expect people to care.

The changes next week will be to match the forum with those changes. It will be as painless as possible.

Sam is helping with the forum changes. The other changes are being done by the site designer.

Got through a good portion of our site changes tonight. There will be more tomorrow including the forum... then taking care of some additional details through the week.

Everything seems compressed, both on my computer and tablet.

The new look is really nice, and I especially like the logos for navigating on the left panel (I would prefer if those links took you to the forums for each rather than the blogs, but I get that you want to promote your content so that's cool).

 

But I also agree with Markus, I think the logos and the layout look great, but there is too much wasted space along the right side.  The center space for the forum should be widened, IMO, with less banner on the side.  The articles look ok with the same blocking, but the forum is too compressed.
