Being from Norway and not going through US high school / colleges, I would think he would have NI status in the CFL. Wonder if anyone has neg listed him.

There are going to be consequences...

Does any team's fans like Proulx? Oh yeah .. Montreal...

I am glad everyone who has made it to the site is enjoying it here. For those of you who have newly found there way, if you have any suggestions on how to get the word out, ie. how you found us or where you looked, let me know.

I apologize for the site being down today. Seems a database table crashed. It was the sessions table, so I don't think we lost anything. Everything seems to be back to normal. Let me know if anything isn't working or out of place.

What is going to happen if you just don't pay the invoice? At this point they are sending you merchandise you didn't order. Even if they go to a credit agency (I don't know if they will, seeing as how they are a scam), I'm pretty sure you could argue that. It might be less of a hassle then to keep messing around with them. If you stop paying, they should stop sending you things.

I will take a look, but have you tried the mobile version of the site? I'm not sure how it would look on the Nexus display (if the display is too big for the mobile version to look good). If the site doesn't pick up the mobile theme automatically for the Nexus, you can try changing it with the Change Theme link at the bottom of the web page and choosing IP.Board.Mobile.

Do you have a link to the interview? Or paraphrase what he said? Is this finally the year that Montreal takes a dive in the standings? The East seems pretty weak overall this year.

You know, I've kicked around the idea of adding adds to the site, but it wouldn't be to make money off of it. This site was opened and here because everyone here is a huge Bomber and / or CFL fan. The day the site becomes about money and not about being a fan of the Bombers / CFL, then thats the day the decisions that are made in running it are wrong. If I can find a way to do it transparently, I would donate any profits to Never Alone (Bauer's old charity) and / or Heart & Stroke (because the sites name sake, Richard Harris died of a heart attack)

Despite everything that has been said in this thread, I am going to respond to this anyway. If you really want to know the reason to some of those questions you ask, I will give you some links to read: http://www.troyhunt.com/2013/01/the-impending-crisis-that-is-windows-xp.html http://theie8countdown.com/ In all honesty, I expect you to read to about the second paragraph of that first web page and stop reading. Most people don't care about all that crap. If you take my shots at IE personally because it happens to be the browser you are used to, then you have my sincerest apology for hurting your sensibilities. In truth, my shots are not directed at you, but at Microsoft because for years they perpetuated a browser that did not conform to industry agreed upon standards and force everyone who made a website to create it and make it run in at least 2 ways, 1 for most browsers and 1 for Internet Explorer. And while their current version of IE works, they have millions and millions of people out there using old versions in which their technology has made it impossible for people running XP to upgrade to their current browser (even though those same people can run current versions of other browsers). So my frustration is that their negligence causes me to invest hours of my time to make things work for people. So you want me to "fix" this stuff? Well I want Microsoft to fix their mess. Why can you access those other sites, well most of them were created some years ago when things were different on the Web. Technology moves on, browsers like Chrome update themselves automatically so they don't run into this problem, but the whole web community is still stuck with the old legacy IE browsers. And while OB's new look works for you, as I've told you before, the only way I can "fix" this site to work properly for you on XP is to change the entire visual skin of the site. The new skin they chose happens to work on IE. Why am I reluctant to change the skin to make the site work for IE/XP? Well, I will tell you... If you read through the first link I have above, they suggest that over the next couple of years, people on XP and IE8 are going to start running into problems like you are seeing here more and more. Why? because more and more people are finally getting off of those old platforms and it will no longer make sense financially for websites to continue to invest in all the extra time and effort to make them work on the older browsers. That link above also makes mention that after April of next year, Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP. So browser (and this site's) issues aside, anyone using XP after that point in time is putting their digital lives and information in jeopardy by continuing to use it. Spammers and hackers are chomping at the bit for this date, because it will be a free for all for them. This is the last paragraph of that link: So if this article is right, then this site not working for you is just the beginning of the problems you are going to see. And while you make this claim: There are already sites out there that won't work for you, you just don't happen to use them. Expect more to come. Look, I get that you want a site to just work when you come to it and it is frustrating as hell when it doesn't. But I don't make a cent off of this site, in fact it costs me a bunch of money to pay for web hosting and this software to run it. I don't have a team of developers to fix everything like commercial sites that actually generate income have. It is just me, and I have a full time job and life on top of this. I'm not asking for money, or anyone's sympathy. I got into this with my eyes open, knowing what I was getting into, and the day that I can no longer dedicate time to improving and fixing things on it, is the day I'll pass it on to someone who wants to take on the burden, but for now we are going to have to go at the pace that I can put into it. And if that means that you need to suffer through a few jokes about how much I hate IE because of the misery it causes me, well I'm afraid you will just have to deal.

Have I ever said how much I hate Internet Explorer? So, here is what I've done. I was getting the same error as you on IE at work (this is IE8). When I tried going to this link directly http://www.morningbigblue.com/community/forum/32-blue-bomber-discussion/ everything started working (I can even now go back to www.morningbigblue.com and it works fine after that). Was also getting javascript errors with the Twitter widget. I've disabled the twitter widget. So I'm not getting the javascript errors anymore. Can you go back to www.morningbigblue.com in IE and let me know if it is working now (this will at least let me know if it was the Twitter widget or not). And if not then you can probably use the link above once, then if it does the same thing as it did for me, then everything should work.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Twitter feed which stopped working the other week. After trying everything I could think of to get the mod working again, it turns out that Twitter discontinued an API that the mod was using. I have a couple of leads on some potential work arounds if they aren't going to be able to fix the mod, so hope to get this running again in some form this week. Edit: Workaround seems to have worked, Twitter feed should now be back.

It wasn't very well spelled out, but I think the Bill Daly quote had to do with whether or not the current press box would stop the stadium from hosting a heritage classic hockey game.

Super excited to see Odds & Sods here at MorningBigBlue. One of the best and my personal favorite post game analysis out there! I encourage everyone to follow this link to Do or Die's Blog (or find it through the Blogs link on the top menu) http://www.morningbigblue.com/community/blog/4-odds-and-sods/ There is a follow button on the top right of the page, and when you follow you will get a notification when you login every time there is a new entry. Having the collection of all of the Odds & Sods in a single place for a post season retrospective will be great rather then losing them in buried threads. Bring on the gin!

According to this link they are all sold out. Suites and loges http://wpg.staging.cfl.mrxbeta.ca/page/premium-seating ( just hit cancel when it asks you to sign in)

I happened to check out OB last night and saw people claiming that we are over-modding and shutting down threads over here. Only real modding I've done is to shut down bashing of OB.

I honestly don't mind the name but it appears I am in the minority. Can we all at least agree it is better then calling them the rough riders and having 2 teams with the same name in a 9 team league?

I agree, I got the About menu up tonight.

My preference was still www.abombernation.com, but that one was sadly taken. I do like MorningBigBlue though.

Actually I think it was Mike who suggested it.

I like this idea.

Yeah the Code of Conduct is not the most prominent on this site. I've been thinking the same thing that the explanation of the name should be moved somewhere else but haven't yet come up with any good ideas, other then creating a Pinned thread about it. I'm open to suggestions on where we could put the explanation.

First, you guys need to get on a modern browser! Second, I have enabled the default theme that comes with the software. You will now see a link that says Change Theme in the footer of the website. (At least I hope IE8 lets you see it). The link is right beside the RSS feed icon. If you click the link, you will see the option to change the theme to IP.Board. The other options there are Disturbance (which is the name of the theme we are using) and the Mobile version theme. Since I don't have access to IE8 anywhere to test, I have no idea if this theme will be any better or not, but I am sure you guys will let me know. If it isn't, then I will have to recruit one of you to help me find an alternative theme that does work. I don't know at this point if theme settings follow your profile from computer to computer. So if you change for work, it may follow you home, but it is easy enough to switch back and forth.

I do want to let the site settle a bit and let the bugs as well as features that people like or dislike come out. We also want to find that balance to remain reactive to what people would like and refine the site as we go forward. I am going to put up a poll with some of the new suggestions people have come up with. Some of these seem to be split among people (for example there are people who like the color scheme and those who would like it changed to blue and gold), so I thought I would set this up to gauge what the overall reaction is of the member base. Some changes are also easier to do then others, so I'll try to be reactive to what people want, but can't always make promises. Also things like adding a new logo and changing the color scheme of the site need photoshop changes to do it, which I totally suck at, So we will probably be recruiting some help if these are highly desired. I tried to pull this list from the existing topics, if there is any other feature you'd like up for a "vote", post it here. You should be able to choose more then one option and change your picks after you submit them (in case we add another option that you would also look). Let me know if you can't.
