    Some additional thoughts: the S2 logo on the tab for recent activity looks skewed. The NHL logos and some other logos in the bottom team selector look bad. The Anaheim Ducks team forum reads as Anaheim Mighty Ducks. They changed their name.

    Is there anyway to switch the times on recent activity from 24 hour format to 12 hour format?

    I think the default text for posts is too small.

    How do you want to choose what two threads to merge? Which title/description becomes the title/description of the resulting thread? Can you merge between two forums?</p>

    We're looking at search engine technologies. Right now, we don't want to tank the site doing searches. On the other hand, we don't want something that works as badly as search does for vb3.</p>

    I think we have a solution in mind, and it's going to happen soon.</p>

    I would say something where you can select the threads you want merge (if in same forum) then you enter a page which lets you pick which thread merges into which. If you want to merge a thread from one forum to another just select that thread the same as above, then you enter the same page which lets you select which thread to merege into which, only there is a drop down box to pick another forum, which then displays the thread titles. Select a title and merge.</p>

    </p>

    That might be confusing, because I am doing this real quick so...</p>

    The SQL query to merge two threads in the same forum is trivial - it's the interface that I'm still struggling with. Merging threads in two different forums is quite a bit trickier on both scores.</p>

    Can't you just use the thread #(ex. 56266 for this thread) to do the merging?</p>

    Have the interface be something like Merge: Into: (with input boxes after both of those words). </p>

    Yeah, I can make it so you paste in the URLs of the two threads to merge. That's rather a pain, though. I'm thinking of some way more modern approach using checkboxes and buttons and so on.</p>

    okay, thanks for the input. i can't wait for the search engine to happen soon, so i won't have to make threads that have already been created </p>

    Is it possible to move the PM link of messages and notifications somewhere other than in the top left? I feel like it's out of the way up there, and I don't notice it sometimes when I have a PM.

    We have a lot of boxing info to make pages with. Next on my list is NCAA Football, though. NCAA starts this weekend!</p>

    Also, on the main page, why isn't there an option to go to page 2, or more of threads?</p>

    It used to be there, and unless I'm blind, I think it's gone.</p>
