How Can We Improve SI?

It was just an idea.

Just to let you guys know, I'm still looking in to figuring out the rotating banners for the new Buzzy skin. RIght now it's working, but it loads a little slower than I'd like. Hopefully I'll get it working by the end of the week. 
 
I also updated the SI Bosox skin with new images that Bosox made. Check it out.

In bosox skin, the threads that you haven't read are to hard to see, that needs to be fixed.

tbh I've been wanting to update my skin for a while, and since you did yours, I figured to give mine the 2015 update lol

Maybe I'm used to it for using this skin for 2+ years now, but its fine to differentiate to me.
 
 
Maybe change #4f4f4f to #585858 ?
 
 
 
And I can do a lot of these changes by myself GMF if you want, because I'll probably want to play around with a lot of the settings. Just need the ACP access

Ok, first, not selling the site.
 
Second, we talked about this before and not sure if everyone was on the same page.  The new skin buzzy is creating got me thinking about it again.  With IPB, there is an option for the forum section to have a different skin for that section.  For example, and I know they are not setup like this right now but they can be, say if you are on the main page.  You will see just the SI logo in the header.  You then click on the Celtics forum, the header has now changed to a Celtics logo.  Same goes for if you click on the Cardinals section, it now shows a Arizona Cardinals logo/player. 
 
My question is, you guys cool if we create seperate sections for each team rather then seperating them by conferences or divisions if buzzy is willing to create a header for each team?

The board isn't big enough to support a section for every team. 95% of them would be inactive.

I'm confused to whether 'boxy' refers to me or buzzy lol

True, but what if that setup creates more activity.  I know there will be teams that have little to know activity, but you won't be able to tell that unless you go directly into that section.  The main board will have the same look, the only difference is that you will be able to click on each individual team logo and go directly to that teams section.

Ha ha, I reread what I said and edited before you posted.  You beat me to the edit.

 
It was buzzy I was trying to say.

The set up might lower activity, because people just aren't going to want to explore those 30+ sections for each sport to post.

Enter the Detroit Pistons team forum..... if you dare

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Pelicans section would be hilarious though. Just nola talking to himself haha

 

[jonathanlambert33]

How's that any different from what we have now

You will be able to tell it from the home page, because it shows the last post, which could be from "March 23 2015" and not "Today".
 
 
I honestly think the Division set up is a fine compromise between individual team forums and just an NBA section.

We have to go through your Pelicans posts to post other things we care about
