    monthly schedule wallpaper?

    It's no problem at all. I'm also exploring ways to make organizing site downloads a bit better, and integrated better into the forums here (besides me just listing links in a post). I did that previously with the main site, but in lieu of that I'm looking at adding the "Downloads" add-on for the forum software. That way it'll be organized (and I can better track downloads to determine what's popular and not) and leaves options to add additional downloadable content. (Such as non-calendar wallpapers, mobile/tablet wallpapers, etc.)

    monthly schedule wallpaper?

    Sorry, I devoted pretty much all of my free time in the lead-up to the season to getting the forums upgraded and rebuilt. By the time it'd be ready October would be nearly over.

    General Fanager shut down?

    He was hired as a hockey ops analyst with the new Las Vegas team.
  4. There'll be some white space as you scroll down the page below where the ads are, since the text elements aren't set to wrap below them. Also: I'm currently working on an Ad-Free option to the Forums for a small subscription fee. More details on that coming soon! (I'm pretty excited to finally be able to offer it!)

    New forum design

    The issues you're having I haven't been able to duplicate. This may be just a case of refreshing your browser cache. I'm also unable to reproduce this on Tapatalk. Be advised, though: it is highly likely that the Tapatalk option for these forums will be discontinued following the forum upgrade that offers a completely responsive design to work on all devices.
  6. Are you using an Adblocker, by chance?
  7. This is likely just a byproduct of the background processes updating that's still going on with the database currently. It's really taking quite a while for everything to finish getting rebuilt, but I didn't want to have the forums down any longer with the season right around the corner. Most kinks should work out on their own over the next few days (hopefully).

  9. Welcome to version 4.0 of the LetsGoWings.com Forums! This is the largest update to the forums since v3.0 was launched back in 2010, and by far the most extensive. The site now features a completely responsive design and should run far faster than the previous rendition and includes many bells and whistles that weren't available on the previous version. Unfortunately it took a bit longer for this upgrade to happen, but I hope you feel it was worth the wait! As with any upgrade of this magnitude there's going to be some tinkering going on (some things may look odd or out of place). Don't fret! There'll be some periodic updates as the last wrinkles are ironed out with this release. Feel free to PM me through the forums here if you find a bug, have a problem, etc.. Thank you and LGRW!

  18. Just a note: I noticed today that I had the incorrect date indicated on the March 17th game (the original repeated the "18" on the jersey). I've updated and replaced all of the files with the corrected numbering!
  19. Sorry about that, guys. Looks like there was a problem with the filename. All good now!

    Happy 20th Anniversary, LGW!

    Thanks, guys! I apologize for not seeing this sooner. I've been out of pocket for the last couple of weeks due to the loss of a family member and just got back tonight -- and I have to say seeing this thread brought a smile to my face. Technically the actual 'birth' of the site is September 15th, 1996 -- right around training camp for the 1996-97 season and at that stage it didn't even have a message board. It was started on GeoCities and consisted of the cheesiest of tiled ice backgrounds, a picture of Steve Yzerman saluting the crowd from the bench after scoring his 500th career goal on Patrick Roy and a bit of text about what I was planning on doing with the site. I really wish I had some of the stuff from those first years. After a couple seasons on GeoCities the site moved to be one of a few fan sites on PuckPlace.com, then to a server that was hosted by the previous owners of HockeysFuture.com and then eventually to where it is now (and where it has remained for the bulk of those past 20 years.) I started this place as a bored 17-year old living in the sticks in SE Michigan and it has followed me to college, marriage, a career and two beautiful daughters of 9 and 10 (!). It's been crazy. Life has gotten in the way often and I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I'd like to the site (and I'm always saying I'm going to get refocused) -- so I really, really appreciate the comments here and the help the moderation team has provided over the years. It's invaluable. Thank you!
