Join the live conversation as the Rangers face Game 3 elimination
By Steve Paulus
It’s do or die for the New York Rangers
The New York Rangers face the Carolina Hurricanes with no tomorrow. If they losetthey check out of the Royal York Hotel and leave the pandemic bubble in Toronto to go home and ponder what went wrong. With their top goalie recovered from his undisclosed injury and in net, the team hopes to get back to winning ways and accomplish the impossible, recover from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series.
The live conversation
We’ve had a live chat going during the first two games of this series and to be honest, it’s been a comfort to share frustrations with fellow Ranger fans. In the age of COVID-19, it’s the next best thing to a viewing party. If you are new to the chat, here’s what you need to know.
About using the live conversation
We’ve been over this before, but we have to admit that the live chat feature is a little unwieldy and the experience is different depending on your format, mobile device or desktop. Our parent company switched our comments feature to a new format and it’s not great. We are working to restore functionality the way we had it before.
Unlike the old system, you are not notified when there are new posts (in the comments area itself). You will get an email if you get a response to one of your posts. Without an auto refresh feature, we figured out one way to keep track of new posts.
Under the “Search” box there is a “Sort by Latest” tab with a down arrow. Click on the down arrow and click on “Latest” and it will refresh the list. On a PC you can go through all of the comments, but there is some issue with that functionality on mobile devices.
You can also click on “Most Replied” if you want to get to threads that have a lot of chatter.
We would also recommend reloading the site occasionally, best during commercial. We are keeping the text in this post short, so if you have to reload, you won’t have to wade through a ton of copy.
Also, you may find a comment “under moderation.” We have no idea what triggers that…another bug we are working on.
Sorry about the issues, but we are working with FanSided to resolve them so that live in-game threads will be more user-friendly.
