It seems that this board has been upgraded. We now have a private message feature.

Anyone else notice the new visually-soothing blue background on the board?

It is supposed to match the power blue 80s uniforms.

"the power blue 80s uniforms."
I think the color was officially "Robin egg blue." (The bird, not Batman's sidekick.) I was never particularly fond of those, not just the Cardinals' version but any team's.
In no particular order, these are some bad fashion ideas:
• Chicago White Sox' tunics in the '70s, with the lapels and, for one game, shorts.
• The Astros' multi-colored horizontal test pattern unis in the '80s.
• Any non-gray or non-white matching jerseys and pants (many offenders in the '70s - Indians, Orioles, Pirates, Phillies, etc.).
• The Red Sox hideous green St. Patrick's Day jerseys.
• Anything predominantly orange, teal or purple.
• Any version of the Mets' home uniforms other than the original white with blue pinstripes.
• The Anaheim Angels' ghost unis of the late '90s (see video clip of Edmonds' famous diving catch).
• Camouflage. [edit: Or, come to think of it, anything else the San Diego Padres have ever worn ...]

MLB network had a count down of the worst uniforms of all time. I like the camo uniforms though.
If people dont like the message board colors I can change them. I figured white, red, blue and grey were all Cardinal colors.

"If people dont like the message board colors"
It wasn't a complaint, AP. This board you've created is a damn sight better than the "My team rules/Your team sucks/Oh, yeah then you suck/No, you suck" dynamic into which the Yahoo board has evolved.
I check in there once in awhile, but I don't post. It's become written media's intellectual equivalent of a Steven Seagal movie.

I like this board as well. I wish there were a few more people who posted here. I know some people got into trolling the yahoo boards but things seemed to have gotten pretty tasteless for even me.

Yes. How to lure a few more posters so that TK can no longer accuse of me of thumping my chest on a board with five guys? I'd much rather be accused of thumping my chest on board with at least 10-15 guys.

Looks like they have added another feature. They have really added alot in a short period of time when the Yahoo board never updated a thing.
There is now a MY Profile selection. You can change you personal info. Note I have added my real email becaue I forgot th password to my fake yahoo account. You can also change your personal viewing setting. Like if Fors wanted to shutoff Images on his blackberry or if smiles are to gay fo Artie.
