responding to legit complaints here I revamped the MGoBoard page so that the titles were more prominent and given more real estate.

I'm just surprised the change came the first week of practice. I would imagine things are pretty busy from a work standpoint and site traffic is peaking like a meth'd-out trucker. Intentional? The firestorm of complaints he probably anticipated could have dragged on forever over summer.

I still would like to see the text boxes and join dates returned, though - and I think the red "new" box on new posts would be more helpful if it were at the top of a post instead of the bottom.
