[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.

    Bring back the message board. the league chat is not good at all. we were talking about leaving yahoo last year when it was removed. I have been playing for a long time on yahoo and not having the board really stinks for being a comissioner and trying to get information out. We have already left and went to a group chat

    It's been a few years now and I think we can confidently say the message board needs to come back. The Chat function doesn't need to go away but putting important league communications in the chat just so they can get buried by trash talk and GIFs (also critical) just isn't working.

  • Jordan Bush commented  ·   ·  Report

    The chat in the app works like yet another messaging app. No one needs another messaging app. It's been useful to have a message board beyond just the commissioner note. It's also fun to be able to look back at previous years to see trash talk, ideas, questions, and other useful information.

    The chats are good for communication. The message boards were great for league votes, rules and information to be carried over year to year, and offline slow drafts were much easier in the message boards compared to the chat. Overall, there needs to be some way to store important information separately so it doesn't get lost over the year in all the league chatter.

    Went from active Message Board year after year to non active Chat. Bring old message boards back. League was much more fun when using the old Message Board as opposed to New Chat. The harder you make it to communicate with each other the less communication there will be.

    Our two leagues of 15-20+ years are considering moving to another platform.

    Obviously you don't care about it. Too bad.

    Bring back message boards!!! It makes league interaction better because you can share with and respond to the entire at once. Ever since Yahoo! went to chats (or just being able to email league), there has been ZERO interaction between managers in my two leagues that have been around for 10-20 years. It sucks!!!

    Fantasy Football was a whole lot better "funwise" when it was active, now it just feels like i'm playing against bots.

  • kevin collins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Two fantasy drafts today failed to show me a "draft" tab, Both ended us as auto-drafts. Before that, the system worked fine for a month. Any suggestions? I have another draft on Wednesday. Please respond even your answer is "I don't know." Thanks, Kevin kevin.collins@swosu.edu

    We conducted important polls on the message board last season (2023), and now they are not visible. The above post says historical message boards are visbible in my fantasy profile but they just aren’t. If I go back the league page from previous years, the message boards are visible, but not the 2023 season’s page. Does anyone know how to see my league’s 2023 message board??

  • Tony Kline commented  ·   ·  Report

    As so many have written before and I anticipate will continue to write, due to you removing the message board option from laptop access, our fantasy league and all 16 teams that we've hosted at Yahoo! since 2008 have officially moved to ESPN for 2024.

    That's 16 people who only go to Yahoo's website daily for fantasy football...and have done so since 2008. Whoever is making the decision to remove the message board needs to review these posts. If it's worth it to lose all of these website visitors, well...that's what happening even though our entire league would have preferred to stay with Yahoo.

    If the message board returns, potentially, we will, too.

    It is a necessary component to the game. it is necessary for use in the desktop site. Please bring back the old style message boards. No one like the new format.

  • Henry Tien commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the old style message boards. Haven't you read all the negative comments from last year? No one like the new message format, bring back the old style message board!

  • David Norman commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a way to delete chat threads from old leagues? I have every chat thread ever for the past couple of years still.

  • Chris Rodgers commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like the option as commissioner to delete all previous years league chat and transactions. Would like to start the new year with a clean slate.

  • Travis commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the message boards. The chat only function is complete garbage. We used the message boards for different threads, i.e voting on draft dates, league updates, holding polls, etc. Now everything is condensed into the chat and its very cumbersome. Either fix it or well move to another platform for our 20+ year FFL.

  • Dennis Roby commented  ·   ·  Report

    As of last season the message section worked out as a tool to hold discussions on issues encountered throughout the season. Now with the removal of messages, I am forced, as commissioner to write a Comish note which does not allow for responses, so I am dictating to a captured audience who can not respond. Next choice would be to email all my managers and play middle man to, in my case 11 other managers like a traffic cop in the center of an intersection where 11 streets intersect.

  • bill bridgett commented  ·   ·  Report

    we used it for draft information,payouts,side pools, commish messages.any other league issue. They all stayed stored and had their own title for easy lookup.Much better then chat board

  • Eric Marro commented  ·   ·  Report

    Need historical message boards back!!! I have reference info for each year in there!
