It doesn't seem like many read the Comments section, but Pard4Life asked for the ability to display the school/team you're a fan of in the forums. Ursus said it's cool so it's been added.

There's a new entry in your "My Profile" (About Me tab) titled "My Team" It works just the same as "Location".

Enter something and it will show up under your user name when posting on the forums and elsewhere.

Random question that seems in the general area of this topic - is there a post count one has to reach to get the ability to alter the "title" field right underneath username and reputation on the profile area of each user's posts? Or am I just missing the field for it?

Yeah, you need 7,000 posts for a custom title. :D

Is baiting chattownmocs or citdog an acceptable way to bolster post counts?

Alright, Visitor Messaging has been enabled. It's another tab on your My Profile page:

For those that want to turn the ability off (or back on) it's easy to do. Click on the Forum Options drop box and select General Settings. The Visitor Messaging options are right below Private Messaging:

He's just on TheRevSFA bandwagon early in the season. Once you have a few bad posts, he'll go right back to reading nothing but Grizzaholic's posts.

My bandwagon is riding low. It's pretty packed. It will do well during the regular season but once I get my *** kicked in the playoffs, people will disappear for 9 months.

Mine is sad... I get a lot of viewers, but everyone keeps leaving about halfway through. I think they're just spoiled by my genius.

That's kind of what it's like. But a public message. Instead of going through the PM interface, you can simply click on their profile and leave a note (or smack..or) in the box. It is BBCode capable (text styles, images, etc.) with a 2000 character limit. It's just another way of adding some extra functionality to the site.

And it's optional. Easy to turn off if you so chose. xrotatehx

Mounty, is there a setting to notify me that I got a response when I leave a profile message? I know it shows a notification when there is one left on my page but I just left a message on eagle's page and I'm not sure if I just have to go back there and look later or if I can get a notification for that?

That would make this feature even more useful.

If you leave a message on someone's page you won't get a notice. If you reply to a message left by another on your own page you won't get a notice.

It's kind of designed like PMs, back and forth..you leave a message on my wall..I get a notice and check it out..I reply to you on your wall..you get a notice. Since you left a message on eagle's page he'll get a notice - he should then reply to you on your wall so you'll get a notice.

Then there's the "View Conversation" feature that you can select by my name (or anyone else you converse with). It'll show a running order of messages we've posted back and forth to each other.

It's not a browser or pc issue. I'm seeing (or in this case, not seeing) the same thing. I've logged in on 3 different browsers on my work computer, iPhone and home computer. It's got be something in the Account Settings.
