Probably should have started this sooner, but....better late than never.

It is now days until Leatherneck Football.

Wonder if you could create a new section just below where the ads go that has this count down instead of in a thread. Would be neat if the first thing you saw when you entered forum was the countdown. Probably asking to much as I know your most likely busy.

[ST_Lawson]

Yea, that's a good idea, although it's a little late for me to implement on the forum part of the site. I might be able to put something together for the front page though. I'll see what I can do.

[WIU0812]

Sounds good, just thought it was a decent idea. I see a lot of forums that have like your wallpaper you made with the dates of football games posted on their home page or they do something like the countdown so when you first come in you see it.

[ST_Lawson]

Tossed something up on the front page. Since it only goes through the photos each day and doesn't say anything about who they are, the photos link to this thread, then each day I'll post it here as well with a short bit about who they are.

This probably is not right place to put this, but I wanted to make you aware that I was unable upload a file when using the mobile version. I tried to post the picture of my jersey last night from my phone and did not have any luck in doing so. This may just be my phone, but thought I should make you aware. Also, the home button on the site seems to just take you back to the forum and not all the way to the home page.

[ST_Lawson]

I don't know about the uploading from mobile issue, I'll have to check that out. As for the Home button, since it's part of the forum software, it's not that easy to get it to point to the actual front page (which is outside the forum itself). The title bar at the top of the page does take you out to the main front page, though.

Also....
