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 It has been replaced by what you see on the upper left of your screen (providing you have a screen resolution greater than 1024x768).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. 2014-10-16.jpg
