Last summer in July we had to move the forum to their new platform, and so much of the customization we had before was lost and had to be reapplied to this new platform. The challenge was that my web developer has had too difficult a personal schedule to work on them...until now!

We have two small changes done, with many more coming. The first is when you want to delete a post that is a duplicate, or you just decided to start over later? Just click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post, what they call ellipses. We use that drop-down menu to edit a post done in the first hour, but they now have also added a "Delete" option when we want to remove a post. Yay!

The second one is a small one, but bugged me anyway. When you want to add a emoticon to a post, a thumbs-up, a laugh, etc....the ones used the most used to be the closest ones to the Duck on the right that you click on. With the change in July....the order was reversed, and the most common emoticons used were at the end and more cumbersome to add.

The order is right again, and it was great a moment ago for me to place one in a post so easily again. When you donate--you help these changes to occur, so those who have lately....THANK YOU.

Thanks for all the behind the scenes work you and the tech team do to make this site so great, Very much appreciated.

And....I have just confirmed that FishDuck.com and the Our Beloved Ducks forum will have two photographers on Rich Brooks Field for our first home Playoff game, and will have former local TV Sports News Anchor Mike Ostrom reporting for us up in the Press Box. Mike is a long-term veteran of advertising and sportswriting, who has set the valley on fire in the past with articles like this one. Whew!

I noticed the emoticon change yesterday. Like you indicated, it was a little thing, but very nice.

The other change is also appreciated. And it's so nice to be able to make a quick edit (usually a grammatical correction for me) within an hour of posting... let alone, delete a duplicate.

It looks like we can insert video shorts without them blowing up

into a huge size as before...

I am sure that this me doing something wrong (or because I am using Safari), but In the HTML editor, the GIF search never yields results for me. I use a work around, but thought I would add it here in case it is a wider issue.

Thanks for the continuous improvement on the site!

Appreciate you and all of the team members who work together to provide this outstanding resource! Excited to be here for another Natty Run! Or swim, as it may be Saturday...
