I'm working on fixing a few of the bugs and I'm also open to suggestions of bugs that need to be addressed or feature requests.

Completed
-I've tweaked the way we handle youtube embeds. It should make things a little easier and I'm hoping to make it more forgiving if you don't post the exact properly formatted url. (I have no idea why youtube has so many different urls referencing the same page).
-Because of the above, the YouTube videos should now show on Apple mobile devices. It's been hit or miss in the past.
-I've limited the width of images in threads so it doesn't destroy the thread when people post an image from their camera that is 2560 pixels wide.
-Added a couple team icons and opened the request for more.


Coming soon.
-The home page will be completely redesigned some time this year and all of the schedules and rosters which are out of date will be updated and better maintained. (more details later)
-The comments on articles and blogs will now tie in with the forum, allowing you to comment on these items using your forum login.

Need suggestions
-Now that we are over ten years in existence, the stars are starting to look a bit cluttered. We need a new, cleaner star system.

Maybe offer a different jersey for the differents sports, I guess there may be a few basketball and baseball fans....here and there.

And then you can be Phil Knight and VolNation can be the Nike of the south since you'll be able to change the style of jersey for each football game. And in the winter you can change it to basketvol jerseys (mens and/or womens), and given how the baseball team is performing you could even include baseball jerseys in the spring.

So, does anyone have an icon-looking jersey image? :)

I think the jersey idea would quickly become a personal preference nightmare.
Some would want Football, some would want basketball, some would want baseball, others would want a Florida, Alabama, etc since they're not true vol fans but like using the forum.

I'd throw out a "hat" idea but then you'd still be getting the same problems.

How about an actual ball for the sport of your choice with the number of years you've been on the forum.

Then again maybe the stars are only cluttered for Freak. :p

I do too. I think it's just a matter of finding or creating a good image that looks good and is small enough to fit without being annoying.
