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

Drew Stafford Named NHL Rookie Of The Month
WGR Newsroom - Monday, April 2, 2007 - 12:30 PM
WGR550- With 9 goals and 4 assists in March, Drew Stafford was named the NHL Rookie of the Month.
Stafford is having a solid rookie campaign for the Sabres and has found a place skating with Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
Connolly returns Thursday at Home, FANS GO CRAZY.
Max returns Saturday in DC.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
Sabres forwards Maxim Afinogenov and Tim Connolly could return by this weekend, giving Buffalo its healthiest lineup in months just in time for the playoffs.
The two players practiced Monday, and Coach Lindy Ruff said both could be cleared for contact by Wednesday. Ruff said it's possible one or both could play before the Sabres close their regular season Sunday at Philadelphia.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Sabres forwards Maxim Afinogenov and Tim Connolly could return by this weekend, giving Buffalo its healthiest lineup in months just in time for the NHL playoffs.
The two players practised Monday, and head coach Lindy Ruff said both could be cleared for contact by Wednesday. Ruff said it's possible one or both could play before the Sabres close their regular season Sunday at Philadelphia.
"It's a big addition if we can get them ready and on top of their games," Ruff said.
Afinogenov is a dynamic and speedy first-line winger who has missed 20 games with a broken left wrist. He was among the team's leaders before he was hurt, registering 23 goals and 34 assists in 53 games.
Connolly is a play-making centre who has missed the entire season since sustaining a concussion during the second round of the playoffs last May. His headaches since cleared, Connolly experienced a setback in his recovery six weeks ago when he broke a bone below his knee.
Ruff cautioned Connolly would initially be used in a limited role - possibly as a power-play specialist - because he is still working himself into shape.
That's significant news for the Eastern Conference-leading Sabres (50-21-7), who had up to seven regulars out at the same time in February. The Sabres have only one other player hurt, forward Paul Gaustad, who isn't expected back this season after having surgery to repair a sliced tendon in his left leg.
With four games left, starting Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Buffalo is one win from clinching first place in the East. The Sabres would also clinch with one more loss by Ottawa and New Jersey.
Afinogenov said he still felt some soreness in his wrist as anticipated, but was happy to finally be back practising.
"Definitely, it's a big step for me," Afinogenov said. "There's probably going to be some mistakes on the way, but I'm excited right now and happy to be back."
