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

Hockey Night in Canada will remain on the CBC for at least the next 4 years.
But here's the bigger story: Rogers Communications gets the English-language Canadian rights to the NHL for the next 12 seasons. And that shuts TSN out of the NHL picture(for live games, at least)for about a decade.
The NHL confirmed Tuesday morning that CBC has secured English-language rights to Saturday games for the next four years in an agreement with Rogers Communications.

CBC will be broadcasting HNIC for the next 4 years but it will be produced by Rogers rather than CBC and all profits go to Rogers. ALL HNIC decisions including which games are broadcast and which HNIC on air talent remains are in the hands of Rogers. CBC just becomes one more channel on Saturday nights and for the SCFs for Rogers to broadcast on.
This is just a transition phase so the NHL and Rogers were not seen as killing off HNIC thus pissing off many Canadians.
The truth is that in 4 years HNIC will be dead and so too will be NHL hockey on CBC.
This is what fiscally conservative Canadians wanted. No more funds to CBC. As such, CBC could not outbid Rogers for the rights.
this kills TSN. also means the hockey night in canada song could be up for bids again soon.
I think HNIC will keep Canadian Gold; THAT song was good from the first time I listened to it.
As far as TSN, they'll adapt.
I should note too that over on HF Boards, there's quite a bit of hand-wringing over the fact that Rogers is fully in charge of things. More than one poster has stated-not in as many words-that this will force Rogers to upgrade their facilities.
