[FEATURE] Fan Shout · PACKERSHOME

You most likely have noticed our traditional ShoutBox that was above the forum index has been gone for the last few days. It has been replaced by what you see on the upper left of your screen (providing you have a screen resolution greater than 1024x768).

The old ShoutBox queries the database every second, even if there was nothing new to display. This was causing a lot of unnecessary database hits and slowing the site down.

Last night I threw together the Fan Shout to replace the ShoutBox.

The GameDay Chat uses the old ShoutBox and will be enabled on days of a special event. (e.g. Packers games, Draft days, etc ....)

I've attached a screen shot to show you what it looks like on a 1366x768 screen resolution.

If you want to change your screen resolution.

since my tweets and recent posts are at the bottom of my page I assume my resolution isn't that high. Does that mean I wont have the fan box or that it too will be at the bottom of the page?

Currently, the column on the left is simply hidden on smaller resolutions. So you will not see it.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (20h) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (21h) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Both LB Quay Walker and Rookie DB Micah Robinson have passed their physicals

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I saw that and thought it was kind of lame.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Packers new locker room is pretty awesome. Great for morale, imo

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Shuffled things on the web server. Hope it makes it faster.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Other times, it's turtle ass

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Sometimes it's snappy, like now.

beast (23-Jul) : I feel like it's loading at the top of the next minute, or something like that.

beast (23-Jul) : Also the thanks/heart takes FOREVER to load, and posting in the shout box takes three times FOREVER!

beast (23-Jul) : Thanks for saying something, I thought it was slow, but assumed it was on my end

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Yeah, I noticed that too. Is it slow for PackerPeople.com too?

wpr (23-Jul) : I don't know what you IT guys call it but the page loading is very slow for me today.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : SSL might be settled now.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Still working through SSL cert issues

wpr (23-Jul) : Glad to be back

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I think PH original finally working.

dfosterf (22-Jul) : Can tell you are having a fun day Kev

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Yep, I had to manually move them. It'll fix itself after more posts.

Mucky Tundra (22-Jul) : Same deal with the songs/videos thread, says you replied last but when I go there it's what I posted earlier is last
