[Chat/Message Boards] Message Board Removal Feedback
Feedback regarding the removal of message boards from Fantasy Baseball in the 2023 season.
Fantasy league message boards are not going to be available for the current season however you can still access historical message board posts through your fantasy profile. You can continue to communicate with your league via Fantasy Chat, email and commissioner notes. Moving forward we are investing in chat as the best place for league communication and will be adding threading, pinning, polls and more. We welcome your feedback below about how your league used message boards to help us make future improvements.

Customer is always right. Customer wants Message Boards. Get over yourselves and bring them back.

Chat is still utterly horrible, and Yahoo still doesn't give a ****.

With all the comments against the lousy chat why don't a bunch of you switch to ESPN or CBS? Maybe they would listen if they lost a lot of leagues. I'm in 5 other yahoo leagues and nobody likes the chat. They all want the message board back. Nobody seems to pay attention to the chat so messages and conversations don't get followed.It also makes it hard to get your draft date set up or any rule changes you want to put in place when only half the league is paying attention to the ****** chat feature. But yahoo asks for feedback but then doesn't listen to it. I'm going to be switching my leagues to ESPN. They allow 2 week playoffs too. I'm done with yahoo.

everyone in all my Yahoo leagues hates the new chat. I'm in 5 of them. Nobody pays attention to it, so conversations and messages are not followed regularly. We all want the old message board back. I am in a couple of ESPN leagues and it is a better set up. Maybe if enough Yahoo leagues switched to ESPN or CBS then they would get the idea that we don't like this ****** set up.

I am in a number of Yahoo leagues and I speak for most pf the players when I say we hate the new CHAT program that replaced the original way. I dislike it so much I am joining some ESPN and NFL leagues instead

The new web interface is terrible.
1) we don't need mugshots, plus it all takes up too much room now
2) the old click on position to swap roster spot worked - the new drop down option doesn't work
3) bring back message boards. Yes I also use the app but for some things I don't want to use my phone -

Please return the message boards. The chat feature is terrible in maintaining league communication. At least bring them back for private leagues.

The fantasy chat has not been available on the website for MONTHS. We need a way to easily communicate league business on the league page, in ALL leagues. Please restore the message boards ASAP. Or at least provide the fantasy chat box with ALL the Yahoo-promised functions in ALL leagues.

agree! Additionally, it'd be better to have the option to use more tools on league message board such as "bold, italic, colors and bulletpoint".

agree, re-install league message board.

If multiple teams/managers have different perspectives on an issue, the message board contains those ideas and is a good resource to make decisions on the league.

I don't understand why we can't have the league chat as well as the message board.
The message board was a very useful tool commissioners as well as gms. Everyone I talk to that does fantasy sports thru yahoo is very disappointed with this change for seemingly no reason. Why mess with something that has worked for years.
Please reconsider this change Yahoo cause it's a horrible change -

is this some kind of a sick joke? the chat isn’t nearly as good as the message boards were and every participant in ever league i’m in feels the same. why not keep both?????

Please put it back, you are destroying the football experience

AARON ABREU commented
how are we supposed to communcate with the league when you can't reply to the Commissioner's emails and no messgae board? This is a bad design

I would like to remove one of my fantasy team that i added by accident please delete it

I'm playing with a bunch of randos and can't even make small talk? This dramatically reduces the fantasy experience and will cause me to go elsewhere next season. If you think you're going to bundle this it some type of additional charge, forget about it. This is standard table stakes capabilty for a fantasy league. There are way too many options out there to be yanking folks around like this.

You want our input yet you are not going to do anything about it. Even though we all want it back!! Why ask for feedback if you have no intention of changing it back??!! You have sucked the fun out of doing this!! Read your feedback and change it back!!!

It's taken the fun out of the leagues, there is next to no communication at all in any league. It's totally anonymous. I've had contact with one player in the Chat format in all the years of playing. Most players do not make their email available - it's dull
