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

The Bengals have made linebacker Takeo Spikes a transition free agent with a one-year offer of $4.8 million, but he doesn’t understand why because he is unhappy in Cincinnati.
“The tag is something they’re using to keep me there even though I’m not happy and I don’t understand it,” Spikes said Tuesday from Atlanta.
The Bengals and Spikes now seem to be officially at an impasse. He has given no signal that he plans to sign the deal and all appearances are he seeks free agency even though Cincinnati now has secured the right to match any bid with Tuesday’s offer.
This right here is what makes me excited and pumped.....
"The Bengals and Spikes’ agent, Todd France, have had virtually no talks about a long-term deal, which the Bengals seek because it lowers the salary cap number for 2003 from $4.8 million."
"It's like being in jail," said Spikes, clearly angered by the move. "Now I've got to go and find somebody to bail me out. I don't like it and they know I don't like it."
So what does this mean now? Is it TDs turn to step up to the plate and find the fine line of a deal that 1. Is realistic for the Bills 2. Makes the Bungles wave the white flag. Granted other teams will also be vying for the services of Spikes, which is why TD, in my opinion, should hide his frugal image regarding FAs and go after this guy. Hell, theyll make it up in merchandise sales in one year.
I know that there are alot of LBers out there to be had, but this guy is #1 in that class. We should at least make a bid on him.
Buy land in AK now. In ten years due to global warming, it will be the new tropical paradise, minus the tropics
Buffalo has to offer a contract higher than 4.8 million for the first year for it to even be considered right? Does that mean the salary component has to beat 4.8 million or the value of the whole contract including signing bonus? It would be tough to beat if Buffalo had to offer 4.8+ million in salary on top of a big signing bonus.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I believe you are all jumping the gun here. There are more than a few teams interested in Spikes and some are in better cap shape than the Bills. I am also not certain if it is TD's policy to chase the higher priced free agents.
