So testing this out before fully subscribing, though I'm sure I will. I subscribe not for the extra "stuff" but because Ben and Buck have always had a great product.

I didn't see where to ask this so I thought I'd toss it in here instead of starting a new thread. So just to make sure, I'll subscribe here for a dollar or whatever for two or three months, then fully subscribe (which is around same price as it was at 247)?

In the meantime, my subscription at 247 expires when it expires? I think I was through December there, so this will be a pretty seamless transition.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it makes sense to me, since I have really gotten a lot of use out of Paramount Plus, to just keep that subscription going, because that way, I can get Paramount Plus, along with the sports stuff there as well? Then I can just buy a subscription here to keep Ben, Buck, et al?

Y'all correct me if I'm too dense to figure it out.

Also, the banner ad at the bottom is a gigantic pain in the rear on a laptop. Thanks all, and good luck, Ben et al on the new transition!
I've sent you a DM ("conversation) note to help with this.

I successfully got in on my Android phone, but using Safari on my iPad, when I click login it takes me to a blank page and I am unable to log in.
Blank login screen has been an adblocker issue in the other cases we've been contacted about.

Can we get a full page view for Alerts? The pull down menu is pretty small, especially compared to what we are all used to seeing on our Alerts page, which was a full screen. I know the Alerts for follows is not yet working, but I assume that will come soon.
Try clicking Show All at the bottom of the Alerts pulldown menu

A thought on Notifications

While I understand the impetus to have notifications come from the app, the app has no granular controls around which kind of notifications I want to receive. And while I trust the IC crew implicitly, my experience with notifications in general does not give me high hopes that On3 will have the same discretion, restraint.

Having y’all run the texts gives me a greater sense of trust that things will work the right way. I deeply understand the incentives to have this through the app as someone who’s intimately involved with app ecosystems.

If you can implement a way for me to control which notifications types I receive, I’m all in. If not, I trust the IC crew much more than I trust On3 as a network.

Can you help me understand what "superignore" is?
When you ignore someone, you still see the post, with an option to show the post. You also see the same message when someone quotes that post. Superignore is a feature from the vBulletin software that made the ignored poster and all quotes of it completely invisible. It's as if it was never there.

It is not native to the XenoForu software here so it was developed by another site we know as an addon. It creates some thread layout issues though if a long conversation gets pruned out, which might be harder to deal with on a large volume site.

Not a huge deal, but the ability to refresh the page by pulling down in the app, similar to the browser experience, would be a huge convenience for people who only use one hand. I know there's a refresh button on the top and this seems silly, but it's kinda a hassle and it's a natural inclination at this point with our phones to simply pull down in most apps as well as browsers.

You may want to ask On3 to disable the attach files feature that’s below the text box.

It generally just confuses users in how they upload images and there would be very few instances where someone would want to upload something here that you guys would want to be uploaded.

If a user is trying to share a Word document or something with another user, they could post a link to Google Drive or whatever else.

Could be user error but the app only appears to support recruiting selections to 2026 while the web versions support through 2029.

I.e. I can’t see Amir Brown and Skylar Robinson on the app but can on a browser

If you click on Forums in the top right of the app, go to the very bottom where it says preferences, what is the style set to? Is it dark? If not, select that and see if that helps.

Unfortunately, the app has a dark mode and the forums have a dark mode. On3 would need to tweak the app but it would help if they inherited each other‘s changes.

Not sure if its been brought up yet, and maybe Im just missing something. Is there a way to go back here like the "back to topics" on the other site?
Is hitting the back button the only way? Thanks

If On3 is now a subscription site, why did IC retain free boards and premium boards? Aren’t they all the same?

And in the forum lobby can you move the ZZL above the ticket exchange. Thanks.

I’m getting used to the News Feed as a replacement for alerts for posts by follows. But…it would be nice to have a way to delineate between old posts you’ve already seen versus new posts. Otherwise, you always have to scroll down until you get to a post that you think you may have already seen.

We'll be using this thread to compile a list of what our staff and readers spot and suggest ...

FEATURES
* Consistent header across front page & boards (conversations, notifications, etc.)
* Stay within IC header when in settings or conversations (or when you sign out)
* App (and account menu) should default to Forums lobby, not TPP
* Need place on boards to display Board Rules, JTS, etc.
* Staff post thread filter
* Text alerts (vs. push notifications)
* Way to promote board + reports on front page
* Way to jump easily between different forums
* Need ability to jump to specific thread pages, rather than just prev/next
* Toast notifications
* On3 Top 10 - should be IC Top 10, and doesn't go dark in dark mode
* Way to see what thread you've posted on
* Way to see what thread staff have posted on
* Way to see threads you've previously read (that have new posts)
* Dark mode for front page/articles
* Indicate how many new posts - rather than just NEW. Need way to gauge most active threads
* Board updates live/in real time, rather than needing a refresh
* Change the thread name link color in the news feed, to make it easy to click on go to the post in question
* Thumbs down

BUGS
* Board menu is invisible in dark mode
* Follow notifications belong with other notifications, not news feed
* Checking notifications in app? There for some users, not others
* Can't hover over nav menu on Forums
* Preview/next buttons on threads blacked out in the app (default view)
* FB schedule TBD renders as 4pm
Found the hard way the Chrome doesn't like On3 login, but Safari (on a Mac) is silky smooth!

Click the name of the forum in the breadcrumbs below and above the thread and that serves the same purpose

There are free boards just as before. You shouldn't need a subscription to post there.

I'm a longtime Chrome user. What doesn't Chrome like on your login? Do make sure you have no ad blocker or Chrome extension that could be interfering.

IMG_0511.pngApp issue here, top right where notification number is next to forums drop down. These seem to be fused together where when ever I click the notification number it just pulls down the forums list.

I'm not sure if these have been brought up, but love on the old forum how you can see threads you've posted in and then how many posts have been made in a thread since you posted/viewed it last.

On a thread with multiple pages, the next button is black until I click on it. Once clicked on it turns blue and I can see the word next. But otherwise, I just see a black box surrounded by arrows.

Not getting notified on any alerts other than 1 reply to my post. Not seeing anyone I follow, new commitments or any alert other than the 1 mention. All alerts are on in settings. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

In addition to the staff post thread filter, it would be awesome to have a followed post thread filter that strictly shows the posts of the board members each individual follows.

I'm now experiencing a thing where I click on a post, start to read it and then immediately get diverted to some spam Spectrum site. That may be a function of the fact I use Spectrum for internet, but I thought I'd report it since I'm not getting that on other sites.

Are you using an ad blocker? If I had to guess, the ads on here are creating an opening for your browser to be hijacked so to speak. Unfortunately, they lean heavy into the ads so it allows a lot of opportunity for malicious stuff to happen.

Try an ad blocker?

i would like to see the recruiting board in the table format. Also to have the recruiting board (table) show where the players would be year wise when you go from 2025, 2026 etc

Please use a forum font that isn't condensed. It's a cool font and great in small doses, but it takes more effort to read than what many other common fonts take. Thanks!

Can we please get Buck’s article/staff articles embedded within the Thread? It’s becoming highly annoying to have to click the Thread and then click into another link within the thread just to read the content.
Thank you!

Hmm I thought I posted this here earlier but I don’t see it so will surface again:

Can you please paste the content of the article into the message board thread when you post it (I.e. what you did on 247)? This was great for a few reasons:

1. Removes an unnecessary click
2. Articles on this site are currently very difficult to read given the prevalence of ads
3. You can go straight from the article’s contents into reading posters’ responses to the article
4. You can read the article in dark mode

This seems like a fairly simple feature and one that’s clearly doable given that it’s how things worked on 247. Thoughts?
Don't see this listed in the features requested list yet. Please consider making this change.

When you select the “hamburger menu” in the top left of the screen on a mobile phone, it pulls up this menu:

IMG_8649.png

When I make a selection there (ex: FB Recruiting —> Commitments), then you pull up the same “hamburger menu” from the subsequent page, it shows you a different menu, like this:

IMG_8650.png

@BenSherman, could we make the IC menu persist rather than it switching to the generic On3 menu? In this case I wanted to first look at our football commitments, then go to Transfers, but because the menu changed I had to navigate back to IC to do that, which seems like an unnecessary step to have to take.

Is there a one-click option to get from News Feed to Forums? There is no menu for that, and it appears that the menu available requires you to search for UNC among the fan sites.

Can there be an option to see only "staff posts" on threads. that really helped me, especially with long threads that I did not have time to read through it all
