Merry Christmas #WPN

It’s been long over-due, but the crew behind StateFansNation has been hard at work to put together a new site for your ‘internet pleasure’!!

This update brings a fully responsive site for all of you that read SFN on the go. The site will now render appropriately on smartphone and tablets without one of those stock mobile themes. With this update, you’ll also notice that reading comments on the go becomes a lot easier with page navigations between the comment pages.

Along with the slew of new content that is baking on this year’s somewhat surprising men’s basketball team, we’re bringing back the forums. We’re not quite ready for the forums yet, but they’re in the works as we speak.

If you notice anything that’s a bit off with the site, let us know using the comments below. We’ll jump on it.

As a final note, SFN would like to thank the folks who work behind the scenes everyday bringing you the most concise fan blog specific for Wolfpack Athletics. We’re fans first, bloggers second. With that, you get raw, unabridged, and unashamed commentary from the panel here. We’d also like to thank the good folks at O3 and Raleigh Digital for their help in brining SFN to 2014.

    I like the layout. Very nice!

    I think there are three people at the ECU game. Two coaches and a witness to verify the game did occur!

    One suggestion I would have is to make the username font of the commenter different than the comment text.

    Hey Tshow. You forgot about me. How come every change screws with my Android?

    I’m getting about a 50% failure rate upon page load…locks up, no can scrollie.

    Ideas other than a new phone to comply w/ the new face of SFN?

    Can’t believe women not ranked after dominating LSU. That would be my forum if it were up and running. Anyway, Merry Christmas Statefans.

    Getting a new website launched might be a little like this….

    Jack and Jill were getting married.

    Jack was talking to his dad about the marriage when his dad says, “I remember when your mom and I got married. I took off my pants, gave them to her, and told her to put them on.”

    “I can’t wear these,” she said.

    “That’s right,” he said, “I wear the pants in this family, and you’d better remember that.”

    Jill… walked around the kitchen a little perplexed and thought for minute. Then Jill took off her pants, and told Jack to put them on.

    “I can’t get in to these,” he said.
    “That’s right,” Jill said. “And if you don’t change your attitude you never will!”

    Then she added with a smile…
    “Now… who’s cooking supper?”

    ——————

    I guess it’s just a right hand-left hand kind of thing.

    What happened to my avatar?? How do I re-upload that?

    New site looks great on my laptop in Venice Fla. I’ll check the site next on my android tablet.

    I have a new Kindle Fire HDX, and the Silk browser closes down after being on the site for a few seconds, sometimes very quickly, sometimes after 30 seconds or so. A couple of times there was a warning that the site had security problems, but I didn’t capture the screen and don’t recall the details. This was happening before you made your change (which looks very nice).

    Convenient to have the basketball schedule posted! How about a quick link to the women’s schedule?

    ^ How do you like the HDX? I ordered one last minute for the wife…she left her Nexus in the seatback on one of our flights last week.

    Alpha, except for the problem with Silk, I like the HDX. However, I haven’t had a tablet before, so I don’t have much basis of comparison. It’s much better for reading books than my first-generation Kindle is, though! The screen resolution is very good. Hope your wife enjoys hers.

    Thanks for the hard work guys. I’m looking forward to the return of the forums as well.

    And I’d like to add my vote to having the comment count appear with each article on the homepage. Seeing that a couple of new comments have been posted always leaves me guessing… Will it be another Homeric essay from Adventuroo? An insightful and/or cryptic note from Cowdog? A late-night Packer in Russia communiqué – from parts unknown – entered via the darknet on a cobbled together vodka-powered TRS-80? The mind races…

    Last but not least, I really like the mean-ass wolf with the fiery red eyes at the bottom of the homepage. That belongs at the top IMHO.

    Oh yeah, I checked it on an old Gen 2 iPod Touch w/ iOS 4.1 (Santa better come through this year), it’s a little slow loading but stable.

    Thanks for all the hard work. Can’t with for forums to be reinstated.

    Great site….wonder how it will work with someone using Win 8.1 and IE-11. I had to kill ID-10 on my Win 7 Pro Laptop as SFN and other sites were not resolving or extremely SLOW.

    OK….I tried to find a place to put in an Avatar…..NADA….I went into the HELP section. Says that “Avatar” function has to be enabled….

    High Stick and Plywood did it….and I think that I should be able to….but there appears to be NO Avatar enable or add or upload option.

    Several folks have asked, but no ADMIN Guru has answered.

    Merry Christmas……

    When I go to my profile there isn’t a place to setup an avatar.

    Regarding avatars…mine was still operational after today’s relaunch with no additional steps taken on my part. This leads me to believe that the universal gravatars (wordpress) are still applicable and that they must still be set up there (https://en.gravatar.com).

    Looks great, guys. Kudos on the new WP theme. First light on my new iPad Air, everything seems to work flawlessly. Font choice is excellent, razor sharp on the display. Somebody on the team knows his WP themes…

    If my avatar is correct on this post, it might confirm Wuf’s post re: gravatar. Love the new layout. I will test on iPhone 5 later to give any feedback on the responsive design.

    re: avatars – I believe that Wuf is correct, since I didn’t do anything to get my avatar to appear. I do have a WordPress account under the same screen name, so at first I thought it was related to that since this is a WP based site, but I just checked that account and that avatar is managed with Gravatar too.

    Whoa – nice job!

    My interwebs go out, they come back, I come here … and everything has changed! Really like the layout. I 45th the notion for the comment counter on articles/posts 🙂

    You know I can’t wait to get the forums back … I need to spew the rest of my meaningless drivel somewhere!

    Anyhoo, sweet! Go Pack!

    I like the new look. Did hate to see the Yow/DT/V/Rivers logo go though… was hoping for an update to include RW. Page loading for me is a little laggy due to the ACC Video in upper right. Checked it on my iphone 5 and Nexus tablet and all rendered fine. Looking forward to the revamped forums.
