Suggestions for freak

I hope this is the right place to post this, although it seems more like a technical issue than a suggestion.

I followed the link to today's FreakNotes and clicked to post my comment, but instead of my username OneVolNation,
it had me as VBName in its place, which I guessed was the variable for usernames, but it appeared as if I was logged in under
that as my name. After I clicked the button to submit my comment on the FreakNotes, it led me to an error page that said
it didn't recognize my email.

Since I didn't see any other comment successfully posted since the date of the update, I figured it was best to report it here in case it was a database connection bug.


Here was the comment on the FreakNotes.


These are some great quotes from the players. I'm proud to be a fan of this team and everyone on it.
Thanks for the FreakNotes as usual. Go Vols! 2018!

Thanks for the reminder. Yeah the freaknotes code was tied to the old forum database. I need to fix that. Appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

Yes, sir!

Thank you for providing so much value to so many with all you do and have done as the leader and administrator of this community here.
I value my VolNation membership like treasure and you have my endless gratitude for making it all possible!
 
I know there's a lot that still needs to be done to make this place as homey as the last. And I'll get to it. Just give me a little time and patience. I had to do the difficult stuff first, then on to the easier stuff.

  17. Add a link back to the current forum at the bottom of individual threads for Tennessee forums and other forums
  18. Add thread prefixes for different sports in the lady vols forum.

  22. Fix the recent threads widget on the home page.

I am sure this has been covered,but I did not find it. I see the replys to my posts, but sometimes I do not remember the exact post I had made. How do I find my old posts? Thanks
 
So, are we going to start using conversations? I think I had read no, but I wanted to see for sure before asking my next question.

I think Freak said he may use it to send a note to posters if needed, but as far using to between posters, no.
 
I've said it a time or two already but Freak this new forum is ASS KICKING! Love it and the ease op the options!

Anyone else having issues with typing from their mobile device on new site? It takes a while for the text to catch up and frequently misses letters. I have an HD Tribute and I have tested on other sites and my phone's apps. It isn't happening anywhere else.

Yes, occasionally on my phone, but I had the same problem on the old site from time to time. I just assumed it was my cheap phone.
