All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

IRVING, Texas -- Emmitt Smith, the leading rusher in NFL history, was released Thursday after 13 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Smith said he's not ready to retire.
"In my mind, I think I'm a 1,300-yard back, and I will be out to prove that,'' Smith said at a news conference with team owner Jerry Jones.
He was released to make way for a younger, cheaper running back for the Cowboys, who have been 5-11 for the last three seasons. It's the first major roster shakeup since Bill Parcells took over as coach, although Jones has made it clear it was his decision.
The more Emmitt Smith thought about it, the more he realized what had to be done. It was time to leave the Dallas Cowboys after 13 seasons.
Rather than put owner Jerry Jones in the awkward position of cutting the leading rusher in NFL history, Smith volunteered to be released. His departure came Thursday, the eve of the free agent signing period.
But we probably haven't seen the last of Smith.
"I still have a love and passion for the game," he said, dousing any talk of retirement. "I think I'm a 1,300-yard back, and I will be out to prove that."...more
Less than a minute into the first question he fielded at a Thursday afternoon news conference, Emmitt Smith made clear his intention to continue playing in the NFL, and emphasized that retirement is not an option.
"In my heart, I'm still a 1,300-yard back," said Smith, who has exceeded the number seven times in 13 seasons, "and I still want to prove that."
The question is where and if Smith, who turns 34 in May, will get the chance to add to his league-record rushing total. The best-guess answer: Probably, if the finances can be worked out, in Tampa Bay or Carolina....
