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!
This is only a test
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

Eric Wood and Jairus Byrd are on the field this morning with their teammates at the morning walk thru.
Wood will practice tonight for the first time. Byrd obviously will not, being on the active non-football injury list.

The league’s zebras have arrived at Bills training camp.
The officials spend a few days at NFL training camps to re-acquaint the players and coaches as to what will be called a penalty on Sundays in watching their competitive play in practice.
They’re also trying to get themselves prepared for the speed of the game again after a six month layoff.

Climbing up the walls in Orchard Park waiting for his contract to be completed was hard enough. Now that Wood is at training camp, he can’t wait for tonight’s practice.
“Oh yeah, I’m ready to go,” he said after the team’s morning walk through. ”I’m sweating after a walk thru, so you know I’ll be ready tonight.”
Wood reported to camp at 314 pounds and said he’ll be playing between 310 and 320 pounds this season. So he’s put on some additional lean muscle, which is a bit scary.
“I’ve worked out harder than I have my whole life,” Wood said. ”I realize the challenge that’s ahead of me. It’s practically a 21-game minimum for us and we plan on playing 25. It’s one of those deals where you have to get your body ready to go. I worked out a lot with Jason Spitz, he’s a guard for the Packers, and was pretty much my mentor going through the whole process, draft process and what not. He was a senior when I was a freshman at Louisville.”
I’d say if you’re coming to practice tonight keep an eye on number 70. He’s going to be tearing it up.
The Bills will break out their white throwbacks in an unveiling after tonight's practice - on the field about 9:15 p.m. These figure to be popular among fans. ---Mark Gaughan
Bills first-round draft pick Eric Wood was on the field this morning for the walk-through practice session, and he said he is anxious to get the pads on and start working with his new team.
"It feels good to be here," Wood said. "I’ve been waiting for this day for awhile now and I’m glad it’s here and it's time to get to work."
Wood, the 28th overall pick in the draft, missed seven practices while his five-year contract was hammered out. He said it was tough to sit and wait while camp was taking place in Rochester.
"It’s been miserable. It’s been absolutely miserable," he said. "I came to Orchard Park two Fridays ago so I’d have my apartment settled for treianing camp. Then I sat there for an extra four or five days thinking I’d be somewhere."
Wood will have the pads on tonight for the Bills' 7 p.m. practice.
Meanwhile, second-round pick Jairus Byrd had his No. 31 jersey on and watched the walk-through from the sidelines. He's going to be out at least the next two weeks - very possibly a bit longer - while he recovers from surgery to repair a sports hernia injury that was performed two weeks ago. ---Mark Gaughan
