    For our new friends joining us from JBB, please use this thread to ask any questions you have about S2, the platform, the navigation, etc.

    I'm just politely curious about what factors made this merge happen.

    Given the circumstances of both sites, a merger was a natural and good thing. Combined, S2 and JBB become closer to being a major player in the Internet/Sports space, and this means real benefits for everyone involved, particularly the members. To grow to our immediate combined size organically and separately could take years. S2 offers lots of features that are extremely difficult and/or costly to implement on a vbulletin based site like JBB. The NBA season is about 60 days away, so the timing is right. Our combined staff and members complement each other quite well. We share a similar dedication to community and love what we're doing, and we really like the idea of working together.</p>

    The merge looks great, great job. So, are we allowed to post in any forum here, not just basketball?

    Are Mod powers fully set? I can't seem to figure out, how to merge two threads. </p>

    Also do you guys, have a quote button, on the quick reply? You know, so I can quote things separately, and without doing it manually.</p>

    You could always type it out. [quo*te=Kidd] Like this [/quo*te] </p>

    </p>

    I don't see any quote button. </p>

    </p>

    Use that, remove the *.</p>

    Yes, I know, that's what I meant by doing to manually. However, I think it would be good to have one, makes things easier.</p>

    What about the $50 Petey promised to each member of JBB upon arrival to S2?</p>

    I noticed it hasn't been mentioned since the merger.</p>

    No, but it's a good suggestion. Lets nag the programmers about it [​IMG]</p>

    Will the training section from JBB still be here? And if so what section will it fall under? Also is Bahir still going to do his Massive Training Article? Thanks</p>

    What are views, points, and income? </p>

    Also, will it be possible to make it 20 posts per page? The 15 posts per page makes pages fill up pretty quickly. Sometimes you can have 10+ pages for a hot topic and it becomes difficult to follow.</p>

    Also, why is my PM box full of 200+ PM's that I already read? </p>

    I hope it doesn't sound like I'm ranting. Real talk: I like the move and once I get used to it, I see myself enjoying this a lot.</p>

    Allowing users to change options like that are in the works. Have a long list of things to do before it.</p>

    We imported all your pms. That goes for all members. </p>

    Are you from NY?</p>
