North American Fishing Club New Change to Fishingclub.com

Launch of the newly designed FishingClub.com

FishingClub.com — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 11:48:19 GMT

Hi All,
     We plan to launch the newly redesigned FishingClub.com this coming week. The new design will not affect the forums (other than a few color changes) all the posts, users, post counts, etc will be exactly the same, but the site will be down for a couple hours during the day of the the move.

New features include your own personal page, groups, new ways to share photos, chat (in the dropdown menu), an encyclopedia, a blog, and a questions and answers feature amongst other features. Everything else will largely remain the same. We have created a "Launch Center" for you to watch demo videos walking you through a few of the cool features, included some FAQ's, etc to help with the new stuff. We will also have extra staff on the forums for a couple week while everyone gets comfortable.

   A special thanks to those members who helped with the Beta Testing!

   Thank you!

Worst CLUB ever.....

bravitos — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:31:09 GMT

I have been a member since May of 2009 and already have been victim to some of the worst customer service ever. I have not yet received my gifts promised for joining the club, and have yet to receive my validation stickers aswell. There have been mistakes to my account over and over, and the customer service line is always busy. When I did get through all I got was a "we are working on it." I have received countless offers by mail to become a LIFE MEMBER, and invoices saying I have to pay my membership dues which I did and still no stickers no gifts, the only thing I do receive is offers. Seems like they have time to send me offers, but not what was promised. There are mistakes after mistakes on my account and I am trully sick of it. Ridiculous astrocious customer service, with a greedy mindset of offers and don't deliver what they promise. I have yet to receive an offer to field test any product and doubt it I ever will. I have not even received the gifts I paid for, how could I ever expect such company to deliver on their word that I COULD be asked to field test a product. REALLY REALLY bad club with absolutely the Worst customer service ever....

URGENT! CHECK YOUR FIELD TEST PROFILE!!

Links In Your Favorites / Bookmarks Now Dead

davesett2000 — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:15:55 GMT

I don't know if any of you have noticed...but if you have links saved to your Favorites / Bookmarks for various topics here on the Forums, the NAFC software writers jacked us up once again.

If your link in your Favorites / Bookmarks was this as an example...

www.fishingclub.com/my-nafc/forums/aft/37563

It is now this...

http://www.fishingclub.com/community/forums/aft/37563

Take a close look at the 2...as the difference is the "new" community versus the old "my-nafc".

Thanks alot NAFC

Error Messages!

kantusemyoldone — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 03:49:12 GMT

I haven't read each and every post made on the forums so may have missed this on another post but, F.Y.I. for the tech guys, I am getting an error message that page could not be found url not found or some other type of message when I try to follow the prompts from the "thank you for entering" page after entering a contest chance to where would you like to go now. The only way I can go some where else with in the site is to go to the directory bar and click there. Hope my explantion isn't too confusing.

I Like

Bassbum — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:23:27 GMT

I like the fact that you can scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and see who is online. Maybe this has been around a while, but I just found it.

New Site.......

Bassbum — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:48:39 GMT

Speed still sucks! Why not work on the speed issues this site has? You can change the look all you want, but members only care about the effectivness.

You Only Need 2 Topics

Bassbum — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:20:48 GMT

A "GOOD" topic, and a "MISC." topic. Everything else is worthless considering all the BS you have to sift through to find usefull information on here anymore.

Site Speed Turning off Members?

fisherfanatic — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 06:48:10 GMT

The site got substantially slower when the "changes" occured. This seems to have caused less members to visit the forums. The activity in the forums are way down from usual. Will the speed ever increase (possibly back to the way it was)?

Forum Upgrades and more to come

SuperUser Account — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:50:10 GMT

In the wee hours, I upgraded our forum software with the goal of further improving speed and stability.

Everything appears to be running fine.

Later this week we will be pointing FC at a new load balancer. That's tech speak for, "Ya'll won't be seeing many 500 errors after this is done."

Stay tuned, and please be patient.

How do you block other members?

Captain Quantum — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:26:34 GMT

Is there a way to block other members from seeing or posting on your profile? I am just wondering because there is currently a psychotic member on here named NAFC=SCAM that I believe is mentally deranged and potentially dangerous. There is no telling what someone with that much hate is capable of.

login problems

rodrob — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:31:38 GMT

Ever since you changed the website, I have found it nearly impossible to login. I never had a problem with the old website. I like the new look, but it takes as many as 8 tries to get logged in if I persist. If you need new servers, then you'd better get some. but I keep getting an error message and I'm getting a bit tired of it. Of course you probably never look at the forums.

Chat ROOM ???

jaysun7776 — Thu, 26 May 2011 14:56:17 GMT

HOw do you log into the chat room I dont see a link for it anywhere ?

Changes coming Today (load balancer)

SuperUser Account — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 06:07:05 GMT

We will be changing some of the network plumbing for the club later today. The goal for this change is to improve performance (small, maybe 10%), enhance security, and fight the dreaded 500 errors.

I will be monitoring this thread for problem reports and try to resolve issues directly with members in this thread.

Please be respectful and patient.

Thanks.

Web Guy Greg!

Greg I want to Thank You and the IT guys for the work you have done. The site is faster and I have not been getting the error messages.

New Chat Room. New problems.

Captain Quantum — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 08:04:10 GMT

Well, as most of you may have noticed, we have a chat room on the site now. And with this new social device, members can keep in touch, share stories, fishing tips and secrets, and get to know there fellow N.A.F.C. members in a more personal way. But with the new chat room also comes new problems. When the chat room was first made available, for several weeks after, myself and the rest of the "regulars" have had a good time talking and hamming it up on a regular basis. But recently, some new, extremely young members have been entering the chat room and creating conflict. Swearing, talking about drugs and generally having a foul mouth and extremely immature attitude is what has been transpiring in the chat room as of late. This has basically ruined the entire experience for me. My interest and confidence in the site is waining, and i am contemplating leaving it entirely. All because of a few bad apples. And one member in particular that shall remain nameless, has been exhibiting very bizarre behavior in the chat and on other member's personal pages. To my fellow members in good standing, have you experienced this as well? And if so, what are your thoughts?

Error msg in Help Center

mr2105 — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:24:29 GMT

I wanted to ask a question in the Help Center rather than posting a new topic, but I received an error msg. Didn't know if the Club was aware of this since I haven't seen any other posts regarding the Help Center error msg.

So, here's my question I was going to ask in the Help Center. I received the knife collection offer approximately 5 - 6 weeks ago. It was a nice item, but I decided not to accept the offer and mailed the knife back on the same day, in the box it originally came in, with the pre-paid return postage affixed to the box. My question is; How long does it take to get the $19.99 bill, that the club billed me, off my account? I returned the knife the same day it arrived in the mail over a month ago, and I received a late notice in the mail a few days ago, saying I hadn't paid for the knife and they wanted to be paid NOW. The reason I haven't paid for the knife is because I sent it back. Curious if the Club received it and forgot to take it off my account, or if it got "lost" in the mail.
