There isn't any in the traditional sense. Because of how the database/structure is set up, it can't be rigged the same way as on ProBoards.

On the old board there were 3 things that gave you notifications though:

1) Liking posts. We implemented a "Thanks" system here, and you get a PM whenever you're thanked.
2) Quoting posters. I added a link to the top of the page that says "Who quoted me?". Click it, and it'll list every time you're quoted.
3) Tagging posters. I haven't implemented this yet, but I'll work on it. I don't think it was used very much on the old board, but I want to add it back in on here.

House, do you mean posters switching names, or posting styles when you talk about switching of identities?
Both. Take some of the posters in this thread alone. Names like Cobra Kai, Incognito, and Wiseguy. I have no clue who they are, or what their previous handles were, nor do I care to 'figure it out'. Familiarity counts for something a little here. If I want to post with a bunch of strangers in high volume, I could do that at PSR.

I do agree with that part.

Changing your name as often as you change your shirt seems kind of silly to me.

People should just stick to the name they were best known for on ESPN.

Incognito is Scottpilgrim, he changed names a while back.

I also have no idea who Cobra Kai and Wiseguy are, and find it obnoxious that they changed IDs.

[color=#400000][/color][quote="kobeunderbite"]What is the big deal about the format of the board? Fp is working to keep everyone happy, and you'll get used to it regardless. The important thing is that we have a place where we won't be shut down.

People like Denali bitching and saying that they don't want to post anymore because of the format is ridiculous.[/quote]


Where was I bitching and where did I I say that?

I know it is annoying when folks change their name on a new board.

Reasons why this board isn't getting much traffic (supposedly):

-Cluttered board
-Members got tired of having their ALL-TIME classic posts (from ProBoards) deleted and thrown to the gutter over and over
-Members got tired of having to re-register on a new board...it's very TIRING having to register over and over
-This board is an echo chamber

and

-yo momma!

I think that's an ALT. That name used to only pop up when there was a poll on the original angersports. They didn't even make a post for months after the board was set up and then all the sudden became a 50 post a day user.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to get rid of the ALT accounts all together.

This is the only account I have. I'd think with you being a mod and all you wouldn't be such a dumb ass and be able to verify that.
