I added three tabs at the top. Two offer a quick link sort for each recruiting class. One is for media, including Otto's Grove and TNIAAM.

The only drawback to the quick link sort is you'll have to use the back arrow, or the tab after viewing a post. There is a solution, but I won't have to to put it in place for a few days.

Reason: The dropdown menu many see is only available in the default style. About 1/3 of people use the mobile style, which doesn't have the dropdown menus.

If y'all think they'll be used, great. If not, no harm done, and I can remove them.

1). Suggestions for media links?

2). Will you use the tabs?

Too many tabs can be distracting, and that is a potential concern. If needed, the media tab can be consolidated as external links, and a section for ACC boards can be added. The two recruiting links can be consolidated as well. As is, single links are much easier on mobile devices.

Other thoughts?

The tabs are to be applied when you create a new post?? I'm not following what you are saying you did.
 
Thanks temery I like the new pull downs, especially the recruiting pull downs by class. One other suggestion on the media sujuice.com .
Maybe also post this on the FB forum?
 
Under media...

1. You've linked to a "syracuse.com MBB blog" that hasn't been active since 2012.

2. You have a link to "SU Men's Basketball" which links to the MBB section at cuse.com. How about a link to the main page at cuse.com instead?

3. How about a link to the Daily Orange Sports section?

The tabs are good.

Can you do something about this popup:

The thing is I'm using my cell phone for internet access at work so it cannot be tracked. By cell phone has download data charges based in megabytes. Even though your site is not that bad some sites have video ads with huge amounts of bandwidth (Bloomberg). Ad blocker saves me a ton of money.

You shouldn't see that if you are logged in.

I copied the links from the dropdown menu. I'll check tonight.

Over the last two days I have gotten that on Firefox. It used to happen only a certain percentage of the time, now I seem to get it 100% of the time and when it is present, there is no way to log in. When that message is present, there is no functionality of the site at all. So I'm stuck. I assume there is no ad revenue if users cannot even open the site or log in.

The tabs are great, except the MBB Recruiting one doesn't work. It takes me to the main menu of the site's forums not to the MBB Recruiting forum.

That would be nice. But whatever you did the other day of my post made it a lot worse. To use your site at all I had to do the following:
