[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 + is a joke. I've tried reaching out via email and get no response. I try to chat to resolve some issues but I have to sign up for the gimmick idea Yahoo+. This along with the removal of message boards gives me a constant reminder to never use Yahoo. Will be moving the league elsewhere due to these terrible updates. Yahoo in general is just awful.

    Removing message board is the worst thing Yahoo has done in at least the 15 years we have been using the site. You received 100s of negative comments and feedback stressing the importance of message boards. Bring them back please.

  • Brett Rude commented  ·   ·  Report

    What we need is a way to have multiple active threads so that the replies can be tracked within each conversation.

    For example, i do a weekly article for my football league, which managers comment on. I would like to keep that separate from league transactions and other topics of conversation. I’ve tried “pinning” the article, but that doesn’t have the same effect.

    In the current chat feature, it’s just one big mess of comments and transactions. And i know the transactions can be turned off, that doesn’t really help with the multiple threads issue.

    We’ve had the same group of guys in fantasy basketball since 2003 and are all very disappointed that your company decided to cancel message boards and “invest” in the chat feature.

    Fantasy Chat is horrible. No formatting. It is like texting in the 1990's. Can't even skip spaces to make a new paragraph. If you hit ENTER it sends the message.

    I used to do weekly write-ups for awards, weekly bonus contests, side-bets, etc. on my league football message boards. Now I'm limited to short one-liners in chat threads that get lost in dozens of player transactions. Deleting the message boards was dumb. If they aren't back by the start of baseball again, me and my 3 leagues and 30 players are out of here.

    We get it, you like the Chat.....so improve it.
    I just posted a reminder in our Keeper's chat about a post I made three weeks ago about Keeper's Deadline, but no one will see the reply because it's lost in three weeks of threads. So basically I am requesting when someone replies, that the thread is moved to the first location everyone sees when they open chat. Otherwise the replies don't get seen. You know what would be even better? A message board.

    I for one have been a commissioner for 15 years. I’m seriously considering moving my league to another app. A few years ago the video posting on chat was removed. This year message board was removed, which I used to post week to week reactions and bold predictions for the league to consume and engage in. And now the new chat doesn’t allow me to post photos from my camera roll and I can’t even use their gif feature. What’s the point of a new and improved chat if nothing works?!

  • Tyshan Ridgeway commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really should be out of control and they want. The Messenger board turn on Fantasy football. We do a lot of talking back-and-forth. We enjoy our Messenger board for the last 2 weeks. It's been very boring. Our commissioner should be able to decide if the Messenger board has been misuse.

    New message chat in Fantasy leagues sucks. Why mess with stuff that works fine? The new system flawed , try making a poll just to see how it works and dont know how too. Tried looking it up couldn't find how too. Please bring back old chat systems .

  • Tim Robinson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with Grey 100% and everyone else who has chimed in supporting the desire to reinstate the message board. If users are suggesting using another app to help with communication, you're R&D team is failing pretty bad. Fix it, please. Obviously the code already exits, just copy/paste that **** back in. Do that and this issue is resolved. It's a Win Win...

  • Grey Kenerly commented  ·   ·  Report

    @Dacat, there shouldn't be a need to download another app to simply communicate within the league. The message board provided everything the league needed when it comes to communication. Most, if not all, of our managers would not be interested in having to rely on another source to give us what the yahoo platform already have the capabilities in doing. Posting .gif's is quite low on our wish list.

  • Dcat commented  ·   ·  Report

    I set up a group foir each of my Yahoo leagues on Whatsapp. It's been great. You can DM anyone to discuss trades or message the group. Excellent for commish. You've just got to get everyone on whatsapp. Plus, you can play with gifs all you want unlike yahoo.

  • Tim Robinson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Everyone in our league is disappointed in the decision to get rid of the message board, even those managers who don't post a lot. It allows the league to communicate with one another without having to check their phones for text alerts or email. We post weekly tid bits, enthusiastic discussions, odd stats based on our own league history and are able to easily schedule get togethers during the season. We do not want to take our league to another platform but will have to consider it if those in decision making positions choose to stick with this new format.

    Message Boards!!!!
    Yahoo you seriously need to bring back the message boards for all leagues. Instead of improving the experience you are making it worse. Bring back ASAP!!!!!! Before hockey season starts!!!!

  • Henry Tien commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the old message board. this new one is terrible.

  • Twan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the message board! It's used to post stats, weekly updates, etc. Why was it even removed in the first place?

  • Grey Kenerly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Terrible decision to do away with the message board feature. We've had our league on Yahoo for 16 years and it not only provided the best platform to communicate but gave us an opportunity to entertain ourselves with trash talking and competitive back and forth banter. League chat makes zero sense. PLEASE bring it back before the season is over.

  • Vlad Diaconescu commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring the message boards back! What were you thinking??? And removing all of the historical info about leagues? This could be a "Bud Light" decision by the marketing/management team! We will leave Yahoo at the end of the year otherwise!!!

  • Fly Fly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ridiculous that message boards are removed. No way to communicate on desktop besides email which is so stupid. Takes the fun right out of the league not being able to communicate nor hold drafts via message board. Think I'm done with Yahoo after this year if msg board doesn't return.

  • Edward Thomas Harris commented  ·   ·  Report

    I, now have to email my league when I want to communicate with them. Because the chat string doesn't make any sense to me.
