This is the place to give all your gripes about the place. Complaining can be good when it is used for change!

I'm not sure if I like or dislike the black background. Maybe make the font color more white.

Definitely, if we could get the board more to be like Colt colors, that would be good.

Also, do we want to use Colt Power as the forum name? I know we want the throwback to the old days, but what if the "current" Coltpower comes after this board and demands a change or shuts it down? Might want to think about a different name just in case. I wouldn't be surprised especially since it's owned now by Fox Sports.

Yeah, I'm currently looking for a skin that is a white/blue scheme.

As far as CP, I think we'd be ok, but if people want to come up with something fresh, I'm all for it (though I think coltpower in the URL is for good). I thought about getting a domain and just having it forward here, so we would need a cool name for that.

Hey JonEU19, change the theme at the bottom of the page to 'Artic Animal' and it will make a huge difference! ;)
Cooper Blue is kewl too!

Since the participation in the move has been so strong, I think a new name would be fitting. Coltpower was named by another so out of respect in the long run..............

I would rather have the Colts and the rest of the NFL separated like before as it is a Colts board. :ermm:

Well, we were doing that, but there ended up being topics on the same NFL stories split on both the boards. It is a Colts board, but I think that we are all interested in the news from around the league, yeah?

Any NFL news other than Colts news could be moved to the appropriate place. Maybe I am just being lazy but I am more interested in reading about Colts news without sorting through other NFL stuff... without such a separation it appears more like an NFL board and not so much a Colts board. Just my 2 cents.
The Scout board had the separation. As the season starts and more people become involved I can see it getting worse... I will live with it. Just a suggestion.

Nah. The Scout board just had the one board for Colts and nowhere else for anything else.

Yep. You're right... sorry... it was a draft board I was thinking of.

Yes, I get the direction. Over time, the needs for forums will display themselves.

I do know that separate forums for religion or politics never end well.

I don't like how the themes are different, or have different options. I had to go to Artic Animal in order to quote or like a post, but I prefer the Cooper Blue theme.

You can quote and like a post from the Cooper Blue theme. Those options are in the bottom right hand corner of every post.

Ok, I figured it out. There are no visible buttons there, at least for me, for the "like" and "quote" options, but if I hover the cursor around there the option pops up. I should be good now. Thanks, 45.

I think the browser makes a difference. It seems I can see some things on Safari that I can't on IE.

Hmm. I checked the site on IE and saw the buttons fine. Oddly, on my iPhone, I can't see any buttons at all. Bent, what have you seen different?

(BTW, IE is a terrible browser and you really should consider changing! :) )

Are the buttons Java, as iPhone seems to have a problem with that?

Haha. I get it now. If you lay out some security claim, he may buy it!

As far as the buttons, I don't think there's anything crazy.

How do you know if someone quotes or responds to a posting you make? So far it's not that busy but when the season starts it'll be difficult to find replies in the mass messages......

Good question. I wondered about that too.

Got to say I'm not a major fan of any of the names that have been proposed for this site thus far (the brackets). I voted, but I voted (no vote) for each one. Whatever happened to Colts Thunder, or simply carrying on with Coltpower. It would be hard to believe that Scout would give a rip about what we would name this site, when you can email the folks at Scout and never get a reply (which I have done).

Hmmm, Do you have a suggestion? Perhaps a display of all the names and have everyone pick their top 8 and form the bracket out of those? I am trying to come up with logistics that are realistically doable. It is important that we get the name right.
