Not sure what you mean by font size and line through words feature. And let me know if there is any other things that people used and are missing. Can see if I can bring some of them back. If it isn't a feature I used regularly, I'm probably not going to notice, so doesn't hurt to ask and I can take a look. The sticky header to make navigation and moving around easier is up now. For people with wider monitors, the real estate used by the main navigation panel will now extend to most of the screen. Some other newer features I've noticed from this upgrade: For longer running threads, a panel will show on the left hand side with stats, popular posts, and posters If someone necroposts an older thread, it will now add in a timeframe when there is a big gap in time between two posts. Nice addition to avoid the confusion that usually comes with an old thread being resurrected.

I think most of the outrageous display issues have now been fixed. Twitter feed is back. Snow blindness toned down, and buttons easier to find.

The site has been updated to the newest version. Look for some ongoing changes to the theme and some site functionality that is not currently active. Let me know if you see anything that doesn't seem quite right.

It is O’Shea’s saying for the team. Fit In or F*** Off. Apparently they used it in Toronto when he played under Pinball. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/friesen-bombers-get-historic-ring-for-historic-run https://www.cfl.ca/2006/07/19/argos__defence_finds_its_pulse_with_o_shea/

Jets have seeded the 50/50 tonight with 20k. This is not at all likely to hit the craziness that has been seen in Edmonton, but if anyone is interested: https://wjets.bump5050.com//

Nothing official but quite a few rumours out there Red Wolves is a front runner and gaining support. Wildlife groups are apparently supporting the name as they think added visibility can help the endangered species. https://www.washingtonian.com/2020/07/13/red-wolves-what-you-need-to-know/

I'd also point out that changing racist team names is not anything new, this list highlights name changes as far back as 1935.. https://www.businessinsider.com/offensive-sports-team-names-and-how-they-came-about-2020-2 As language and norms change and evolve, there is no reason to keep racist sports names because of history. Imagine if the names on this list were never changed. The same will be said of the names we are only starting to change now.

Have seen some mentions out there that this should be changed as well, but curious on people's thoughts on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

I've split this off into its own topic and have cleaned up some posts in it. Please be respectful when posting.

The team was originally called The Winnipeg Winnipegs of all things.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_Blue_Bombers

Don't know why it was locked, unlocked now.

Many of these players have been mentioned, but many of the Alouettes during the Calvillo days. Will never forgive Nate Davis for the mock urinating on Khari.

Just a reminder to periodically check the location services on your phone and which apps you’ve agreed to track you. There is no reason to give this level of data about yourself to a company you are paying to be a customer of. https://business.financialpost.com/technology/tim-hortons-app-tracking-customers-intimate-data

Apparently he has been on our neg list since 2016.

For anyone who doesn't think racism is in Canada, and it isn't contained only to indigenous people, here is an article that may hit closer to home. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-khari-jones-death-threats-winnipeg-1.5595506 I don't know what kind of person you have to be that you would go out of your way to send death threats to two people, who you likely don't even know and really have no impact of effect on your life, but just because the colour of their skin differ..... I also have black friends here in the city who have been racially profiled by the police. Will not go into all of the details, but he was in a financial position to fight it, and force the issue to go to court, and after being overtly followed by police while this whole thing was happening (which he assumed was supposed to be some form of intimidation), constant delays in the system and being told by prosecutors and even his own lawyer to just give it up it isn't worth it, paying tens of thousands of dollars in legals fees, and while he ultimately won the court case, the cop ended up retiring before the court date and in the end, there was no real impact to the cop. But he fought it and paid the money to prove a point ... and won. There is no doubt that we hear lots of stories of black football players that come up to Winnipeg, and do love it here, embrace it, and find how they are treated here better then back home, and that is great, we all love hearing those stories. But that is not an excuse to say we are all good here, that racism doesn't exist, or it isn't as bad. It is a very ugly fact that if history is a predictor of the future, racism will always exist, and everyone needs to do their part so it doesn't grow and flare up into something even uglier.

Why do they do these things to make me handover more money......

Crazy what is going on in Minnesota right now. The States is such a huge mess right now. Checkout this CNN article and video. A reporter is arrested live during a broadcast. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/george-floyd-protest-updates-05-28-20/h_4ed08403663fa4ed3518221d0f2a1552
