Website Layout (1 Viewer)

For me it is the hover bar at the top. If I am switching tabs, I don't need to see that drop down every time I move from a tab to choose a thread. Make the blue bar at the top clickable rather than a dropdown when you pass over it.

I feel like I am missing something extremely obvious. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to view the offensive line rankings.

The link from the weekly page takes me to the "Expert Rankings" page but reports "No Rankings" found.

Unless I missed it I don't see anything referencing the offensive line in any of the drop down menus nor is it anywhere in the position selector.

I also miss having a quick way to jump back to the season-long weekly landing page. At least based on muscle memory I believe there used to be a way to do that from what is now the blue menu at the top of every page. Or least that is where my instincts are taking my mouse when I want to do that. It looks like there is a quick way to get to the current DFS week page but nothing for the season-long page.

Yes please.

Hi Folks,

Checking back in on a Friday for this. Wanted to make sure everyone saw we made these changes that seemed like the biggest things people were asking for.

We've now made the top 2 large boxes on footballguys.com show 

• Current Weekly Page For Season Long Content
  
• Current Weekly Page for DFS content
  

And for power users, we've made these urls so you can bookmark and it should take you to the current week.

https://www.footballguys.com/season-long
https://www.footballguys.com/dfs

Those weekly pages have the exact same format as last year with the features grouped the same way as last year. It's a ton of content but we want to make sure everything is viewable and this feels like the most logical way. It's how we've done it for years on the weekly pages and that seems to have worked well. 

Anytime a game is within 3 hours of starting, the Game Day Udpates will be featured in one of the 4 smaller boxes below the Weekly Content boxes.

Thanks for the feedback.

Changing the drop down menus are quite a bit more involved and involve bigger things than can be quickly fixed here. We'll keep looking there and see what we can do. 

Also, make sure to note on the drop down menus, instead of going down to the bottom to click on an area to make the menu go away, you can also move the mouse up just a tiny bit above the menu bar and it will also go away. Much faster and less movement. 

As always thanks for the feedback. Obviously, with a huge number of people reading the site, we'll never be able to do what everyone wants. And for most every issue, there are multiple ways people would like to see things. And oftentimes, those ways are opposite of each other. It's just life. What we'll continue to do is try and make it the best we can for folks. Thanks.

I agree with others here that finding the Season Long home page is too difficult.

Do you offer a static URL that we could bookmark / favorite that FBG would update to always point to the current week's landing page? 

For example, your web team would update  https://www.footballguys.com/season-long-this-week/   so that it resolves to
   https://www.footballguys.com/article/2021-season-long-week-02  now, then
   https://www.footballguys.com/article/2021-season-long-week-03   next week, etc.

Yes, we listened to the feedback here and created these you can bookmark as they will go to the current week:

https://www.footballguys.com/season-long

When in league dominator (on mobile) where is the link or button to go back to the fbg main page?

App companies don't allow links out from apps to the site. (They don't want companies to be able to link out to a sales page and instead want to control all that. But that's changing fortunately)

The answer is just click your mobile web browser of choice and go right to https://www.footballguys.com/season-long

Figured I'd bump this. I know the "fix" to the Tools overlay taking up 99% of the screen is to just "scroll up" but the issue is you still have to move your mouse past it eventually. Now, I'm doing weird whiteboard-like mouse movements to get the pointer all the way to the right just to avoid any of the rollovers. Do we need all those links laid out in that matter under "Tools"?

Thanks for reading.

Hi @Joe Bryant or any board vet, is there a setting I can enable that takes me right to the first unread message in a thread when I click on the thread title? 
 

Scrolling for the black line is a waste of time. Other message boards I’ve been on have the above described functionality.

Just click on the little dot / star to the left of the thread title.
