One of the features that makes JackArmy.net what it is, is the Message Board. The Jack Pack as it is known is the busiest instant messaging board on Swansea on the internet. As someone once said "others can imitate but it's hard to beat the original" - well, something like that anyway.

The Jack Pack allows Swansea fans from all over the world to communicate and it was from the Message Board that Reeco and others bought into being the all conquering JackArmy.net football team.

Are you part of one of the busiest communities that there is? If not, then why not click this link to take part in what is going on. To use the Message Board you must be registered - a process that takes a matter of minutes - but once you are registered you are able to post on any Rivals web-site throughout the network.


Screen Shot From The Message Board

The rules on the Message Board are simple - be civil and refrain from anything racist or religous. Very few posts cross this line so don't panic. The board is monitored by myself and Phil Crocker and we will remove anything we think unsuitable.

Many people don't like the default layout of the board (shown above) but there are things you can do to change this. In the top right hand corner of the board is this drop down box

By selecting this box you can then choose to sort the Board by either Date, Thread or topic.

But what is the difference. The two screen shots below explain.


This screen shot shows the board sorted by topic. This will list each topic and how many responses there are to that. Some people think this is the best way to read the board as when you click on a link you view that topic in a kind of guestbook manner.

Personally, I prefer to sort the board by date. An example of this is below


This way it shows all the posts in date order no matter what thread they were added onto. I find this way the easiest of ensuring that I don't miss what it going on.

There are many reasons why the Jack Pack has proved it's popularity the way that it has. People like the regular postings that appear on there and that postings appear automatically - meaning if several people are on the site you are getting replies immediately.

Are you part of the action??? If you have any questions about the Message Board then please contact me and I will be only too happy to answer them.

So remember, just click here to visit the board and get posting - someone somewhere will talk to you!!

The Jack Pack - the most popular Swansea message board in the world.
