[Chat/Message Boards] Message Board Removal Feedback
Fantasy league message boards are no longer available but you can still access historical message board posts through your fantasy profile. Moving forward, we're investing in Fantasy Chat as the place for league communication and urge you to check out some of the recent improvements we've made like adding threading and pinning with polls coming soon.

Yahoo keeps destroying all that made this FUN -- and special. We've had a group on here for 23 YEARS and Yahoo steadily whittles down any interaction.

Maybe the league chat is temporarily down because it will be replaced by the overwhelmingly preferred message board for the remainder of the season. Please, Yahoo!, do the right thing.

As a faithful and annual Yahoo fantasy player since 2001, please bring back the message board access through laptops. As you assess this decision, reviewing the messages below clearly indicates our desire for you to restore this feature.
As fantasy players can attest, especially in historic leagues, the message board is among the most powerful assets in fantasy sports enjoyment. It's hard to understate this.
We have been continually disappointed with the message board adjustments, and then just within the last week, the entire message board has been completely removed from the laptop version. Why? And why no forwarning or appartent beta-testing to gain user feedback?
The two best features of Yahoo Fantasy are the message board and access to past leagues' data. Taking away the message board is having our league (ongoing since 2008) strongly consider moving to your competition. Please restate the message board to laptop access.

I already hate the way Yahoo is doing the message board this year. Now, it's disappeared on the desktop site entirely. What the **** Yahoo, fix this and return the old message board format.

The competition, Fantrax has chat but it's front and center where you can't miss it. As far as I know most of the owners don't see what I write on Yahoo chat. Yahoo has some stupid ****** running their fantasy sports when they ignore the customer for month after month. Now they got rid of the chat. It feels like censorship. I'm not surprised!! Everyone knows Yahoo is woke as ****.

Bring back the original Message Board. Chat is terrible. No one likes it or uses it. The message board was way more useful.

Good lord. Yahoo, you should bring back the message boards. Failing that...
AT LEAST make this new chat feature available in the web version of the league. It was there until this weekend--what happened?
Please stop making your product LESS useful to us.

The one thing you can count on from Yahoo is to continually ***** **** up. The league message board was convenient and easy. If an owner had a gripe or a concern he could write out his message, then hit the "post" button and...BOOM...message posted for everyone to read. BRING IT BACK!

Nobody ever posts messages in the league anymore. Bring back the old message board. Make it easy to find and keep it separate.

I was concerned about losing the message board and my concerns have been realized. As much as I have tried to promote usage of the League Chat, posts are down by 90% (you can validate this yourself if you want). I have been commissioner of this league for decades and a majority of the managers have been playing in this league for over 10 years. We have had a running in-house rule where each week managers make a post get bonus Aquisition Dollars. I just discontinued this in-house rule, because posts (League Chats) are very rarely made by anyone but me this year. So very disappointed. One manager just suggested we move to a different league where there is a more user friendly message board.
While I appreciate Yahoo's effort to try and make the message board funner, it has been a disaster and quite frankly has ruined the league atmosphere. -

Here's a radical idea. Bring back the message boards. This thread feature is horrendous and impossible to follow for active leagues. Had we discovered that messages were being removed sooner than 10 days before the start of the season, we would have searched for a different host site for our league, who has used Yahoo to host since 2001. Incredibly disappointing
