The new Start a Storm feature is live.
We’ve designed this as a homegrown alternative to the forums, giving every member the power to create their own post, lead their own discussion, and keep the conversation flowing in a cleaner, faster, and more interactive space.
✅ Want to test it?
Hit the Start a Storm button at the top of the site.
✅ Want to edit your post later?
Click Edit My Storm on any article you’ve written.
✅ Not sure how it’ll look?
Use Preview before posting.
Then let us know:
-
What works great?
-
What still needs a spark?
-
What features would make this even better?
Drop your feedback in the comments below — or hey, maybe even Start a Storm about it. ⚡️
Where’s the search function? Looking to drop an article in the training camp thread and can’t find it. Or are the old forum threads gone?
Text formatting….where are the buttons for italics, bold, etc? Maybe I’m just missing something obvious but not seeing them when I type responses.
I’m accessing the site via an Android (Samsung) phone.
On a separate note, still haven’t had to re-log in in several days now. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Posting Topics/Articles
Old Forum Threads are essentially gone. I could re-organize to create something similar, but the best way to post a link right now is the “Start a Storm” button. That button will take you to Text Box that lets you create your own articles that will post to the “Doppler” sidebar. If you click the Doppler, it takes you to all the Doppler posts. It’s essentially a recreation of FanPosts, but lives on the home page.
Instead of a rolling training camp thread, we can quickly create single-topic posts that might be easier to follow and engage with. For example, if you wanted to create one from the link you recently posted, hit Start a Storm, put a Title in like “Becton’s Not Practicing, Sign a Guard?” and then drop the link like you did:
“Better be looking at the guards that are left too. This continued absence is concerning.

There’s no search function here yet, but I can create one if you’d like. Alternatively, if people start getting the hang of the Doppler/Start a Storm operation, I can have it also create a drop-down that lets you select a sub-category you’d like it posted to, and then index/landing pages for the various categories.
Toolbar – Commenting
The toolbar is visible in the desktop version, but for some reason doesn’t appear on mobile. I’ll see if I can correct that!
Thx buddy. Appreciate you.
I appreciate you, Buck!
