So how's everyone doing?

I no longer have the option to change font colour or size when creating a post, and don't seem to be able to remove italics once I italicize a word ... no problem with bolding or underlining.

System changes or conflict with my software?

I present you with a quick tutorial on how to ignore other forum members.

Click on your name in the top right corner to open a drop down menu.

Click 'Manage Ignore Prefs'

Type in the name of the person you wish to ignore, and select what you would not like to view from them (Posts, Signature, Messenger, Chats)

'Save changes'

Live your life here with less frustration.

Any chance the line spacing could be tightened up a bit?

 You can make a good point or argument in a post and your post won't get a vote, but as soon as you say something bad toward team management you will get so many downvote's  even though your making a very good point or argument in the post on the topic.

  Just seems like you can't say anything bad or that's wrong with the team in these forums. I thought that's the point of these forums is to have a place for fans to voice their opinions good  or bad. 

So i am just asking do we need the vote system ??

The Montreal Canadiens franchise is one of the most respected organizations in sports. Its legendary and successful history transcends sport and goes beyond oceans. The team renown reaches European and Asian countries. In this globalization era, sport has become a

powerful tool to unite different people and create links between families of all mankind.

I've recently taken the plunge and begun to dedicate a lot more of my free time to the Habs! Living in England, you can understand that that is quite the demanding thing!

I've cast longing looks to Montreal for quite some time now, and I plan to holiday over there in the next few months - all being well.

I just wanted to introduce myself and get to know a few board members. I'm a primary school teacher (hence the name) and I have been extolling the virtues of the Habs to my colleagues for some time...much to their ignorance, really!

J'ai aussi commencé à apprendre la langue française. Je ne suis pas sûr encore assez!

Our current website has now lived for more than a decade (!), which is a feat if you look at most websites around the web. Most look outdated very fast and lose their functionality. We have been fortunate to have a great and beautiful website all those years. We are now looking at changing the content management system and also the visual design. It will be a good timing to add new features or remove less useful components.

If you have any suggestion to improve the website to make it more useful and fun to you, please share those ideas in this thread or by email! The goal is to have a webpage offering a 1-stop source for all the needs of a Habs fans.

Please help me delete my account and all of my previous posts, as I no longer use the site.

Thanks,

Appreciate the level headed and objective writing, keep it up, good stuff.

that's all

With that said, I know the site itself does not publish these articles for the most part and is just providing links to potentially useful information for the public. This service is what originally brought me to habsworld.net as I liked the centralized access to information and it was easier to load and navigate than my previous preference hockey inside out. Now that I have been frequenting this site for a couple years I have found myself getting frustrated by the aforementioned problem with the quality of the links provided. Is there no way that the administrators can screen articles that are linked from the main page of the site to ensure a minimum level of quality control? The habsworld.net articles are consistently of good quality and provide content with substance, so the administrators and editors obviously are capable of spotting/providing good content. I know, I know, I am whining but I feel this is one of those cases of quantity not trumping quality.

Thanks for your patience of you made it through my ramble. Keep calm and Carey on, Go Habs Go!

Jack Todd wrote a nicely balanced (for once) article on the state of the game and it's turn to statistics as a dominant measuring tool for player performance.

I think it's worthy of main page links, but not sure if it was left off for on purpose. Please post, if only for it's subtle jab at Andrew Berkshire.

Here is my reason for being on here. I have a Montreal Canadiens cap autographed by team members, 2011-12 Edition. I received this cap to help with raising funds on a raffle for a humanitarian mission to Bangladesh that I will be doing with a team in November. Our raffle was well under way when I received it in the mail with the letter attached from the Montreal Canadiens Organization.

So, we are looking for a way to raise funds by maybe doing an auction with it.

If I'm not in the right place, please redirect me in the right place. If I can use this site to auction it off, let me know and we'll start the bidding.

Thanks,
