Welcome to Cheesehead TV 3.0

All the latest changes and rollouts here at Cheesehead TV.

We 1st announced the new changes to the site in the Fall of 2012 on our show Packer Transplants Live. Yes 2012.

Thanks for the support and please feel free to keep reporting bugs and feedback to [email protected] or @cheeseheadtv on Twitter.

Here are the things that changed or will mean the most as we go through the years together as Packer Fans.

  • Every Packer Game Ever Played. Period. A page for every game.
  • Packer Opponent Matrix. When you have every game ever played you can do some cool things..
  • New Joinflow and a logged in complete experience.
  • Facebook login
  • Show/Site Podcast player (HTML5 capable -meaning they work on all mobile)
  • Simpler interface - Packers News, Featured & Microblog
  • Scrolling Mobile compatible Microblog 24/7 Packer everything.
  • New Shop and new merchandise

And the thing is - we have only begun here at Cheesehead TV.

We have many features to add, enhance and improve including Stadium Pages, Enhanced Game Pages, User & Player Pages and the long awaited release of Packer World 2.0.

Thanks for being a part of Cheesehead TV. It's been a wild ride and it just keeps getting better because of all of you.

Actually, you see that thumbs up, thumbs down feature? Use it. If somebody posts something offensive something blatantly over-the-top just to get attention, give it a thumbs down. Too many thumbs down and it won't be shown. Trolls will become a lot less motivated.

This either is not working or requires too many thumbs down to make a difference.

I recommend a 10/1 negative/positive ratio as a sufficient indicator that the post should disappear.

Edit: Make #2 5/1, since the trolls could easily pump two or three thumbs up in to require 20-30 thumbs down.

I'm not sure that a screen shot would show the problem. When scrolling through an article, the top "bars" (masthead, scrolling micro blog, news/shows/schedule/shop drop-down menus, and Google search widget) stay in place and obscure ~50% of the screen. The bars themselves aren't the problem - the fact that they won't get out of the way is what makes it hard to read an article.

sorry about this - I have received some complaints - have fixed a couple browser issues - a lot of it comes from zooming in and out on some browsers. We have fixed a bunch of these now so it should be better.

I agree Tommy. I loved the twitter-feed. I am also not on twitter.

Is there any possible way Cheesehead TV could at least add a link to those connected with Cheesehead TV on twitter?
Green Bay Press Gazette has that feature.

Changing over is hard, but within a week or two it should seem like normal. Like that we can give put some thumbs down to our favorite bovine friends. The login pop up is annoying so I've been trying to log in on all devices. On the iPad, the pop up keyboard makes the login screen layer under the header. May want to check that out.

Progress is jolting sometimes. But I put away my persimmon woods and I can get used to these upgrades.

The image on this post, is that what the "user profiles" will look like? I dig it.
Will you be able to view user profiles by clicking on the their username in the comments? Would be cool to view who these people are?

The archiving of every game is amazing. Kudos to the team for doing that. On the Packers vs team matrix, since you list every opponent the Packers have played since 1919, it might a good idea to set some parameters to focus in on a group of opponents. For instance NFL, NFC or NFC South etc... Just so nerds like me can get to the stats we want sooner.

Great update and I'm sure with some more testing will become even better. Go CheeseheadTV!

I've only been using it on an iphone the last 24 hours or so (and it's a little wonky on there - but that'll be fixed with the mobile version).

My 2 thoughts are:

1. Can we get the "edit comment" feature back?
2. I'm disappointed the "Recent Comments" section is off the homepage. That's the primary way I would navigate the site.

Yeah, the 2 things I would like is the twitter feed, and the most recent comments.

Those are 2 things that I really am missing.

Agreed.

Please Return:

- The "Edit Comment" feature.

- The "Recent Comments" Section

Question:

How do I access older articles/posts that are no longer within the main page? It seemed more straight forward before, but now I'm not sure how to access them.

Overall the new look is fine. Agree with Evan that it would be nice to have the edit feature back.

Also you need to get the "Latest Stats" off the GB - SF game. Don't want to keep being reminded of that game. Now if you want to go back to the "next to latest stats" - the GB - Chicago game, I'd be OK with that.

Soon we will have Polls to replace the schedule. Planning on bringing a timed edit feature back for sure - probably the #1 user request!

I guess I'm waiting for the mobile app, as I don't like the layout on my ipad. Too my header & the white info band is too wide. I haven't checked it out on my laptop yet. I also miss all the links of 'Packer World'

Thanks Sparx - Packer World is getting a refresh - there is much more to this release than what you currently see - I had to go live in the off-season and we are all gonna be better for it. :)

Since you have enhanced the comments' functionality, adding a feature with highlighting of new comments since your last login would be a nice addition. A certain other well-known Packers fan site does that and it makes it much easier to keep track of different conversations within the comments on an article.

I like the layout, but don't like the default fonts for all the article text. too bold looking. I like the old font better.

Some of these may be in the works, and/or have been mentioned...

1) Mobile version
2) Remove thumbs down post if 10/1 negative/positive
3) Ignore user (I'm quite surprised this wasn't implemented in addition to the thumbs up/down)...makes the user experience SOOOOOO much more positive because we have ultimate control
4) Edit post

1) this week
2. Good idea will add to roadmap
3. Great idea - not sure how I missed it but may be more difficult to implement short term
4. Yes for sure. Hopefully this week.

Another minor quibble - when you click a recent comment, the anchored link takes you to a point on the page just after said comment so that the actual comment you're looking for is not actually on the screen.

I see the mobile version seems to be up and running.

Is there any way to get Recent Comments added to that?

Or, if not, is it possible to allow us to toggle between the mobile and the full site, like the old system?
