    There used to be a "link" for the Chat Room on this site somewhere, darn if I can find it again!  Why hasn't the club re-established the Chat Room which was a great spot for members to get together and just have a regular Bull-session.  I know under the old format, many of us "older members" worked awfully hard to have this room placed on the site.  Once in a while even Kurt wold pop in for a Bull-Session and discuss some of the "concerns of members", and believe it or not some of these concerns were handled and taken care of this way.  It wold be nice if this could be established once again!    I'm pretty sure that if a "decent connection" was placed somewhere on the HOME PAGE it would be utilized once again.

    Don't know that much about computers but "chat room" sounds like a great idea to me.  I'm home bound a lot of the time and I have come to really enjoy the forums.  It has become one of the highlights of my day, primarily because I like people and people that fish is even more delightful.  Hope I am not a nuisance to everybody.  Uncle Tom
    I built my own lure company as a young man--thus the name UncleTomsJigs. It grew so well I decided to give it up and go fishing with family, friends and especially grand children. I became disabled as a United Methodist Pastor IN 2002 and retired here in Coastal Georgia on a 10 acre lake where I continue to fish despite my disabilities. My wonderful wife and I enjoy fishing together. God has blessed us in so many ways and we pray the same for you. I am excited about having so many new friends all over this great country.

    Hi Mr. Bill & Uncle Tom:

    Bill, I could not agree with you more on your response!  The club did seem a LOT STRONGER back then.  All we have to do is  TRY  to get those "in the know" to listen and keep pounding on them until we get some type of response from the "powers that be".  I am pretty sure the room would be utilized if access to it was made a little easier, like having it's own link on the home page, which does not sound like a major feat to complete to me????  I am surprised that this HAS NOT generated some type of response from them that be.
    Tom:  From what I have read of your posts, believe me you are not a pain!!!!!  Hope you enjoy the club and site.  Maybe if we get the chat room back you will enjoy that also.

    Yes the powers that be have on occassion said it would be back(Chat Room) but alas not yet and yes when we had one I also believe the Club was a stronger and better place. So maybe in a world far far away and in another time zone the Chat Room will return  but I don't know.. I guess it could also be in the same place as the PM's we were promised would return also

    Hey Kurt!!!!!!!!
    I know you are not "in charge" of this  area, BUT you helped us out in thenpast when you visited the old vchat room.  We are asking for some help and support on returning the chat room to the club site with a link on the Home Page.  Hope you read this thread once in a while.

    Good Morning Mr. Bill.  I think we are on the same page but I am not too literate when it comes to a computer.  What is a pm system?  I'm all for the chat room (not real sure what it is either)  but then I have to get my seven year grand daughter to put a DVD in the TV so I can watch some of those movies the club has been sending me. Have a great day fishing--the bluegills have really turned it up a notch here at home and many of them are pound or more which is very good for South Georgia.  I love those big ole knot headed purple males--caught one yesterday and thought it was a cat to begin with--he had the line singing on my little ultra light.  Uncle Tom

    I built my own lure company as a young man--thus the name UncleTomsJigs. It grew so well I decided to give it up and go fishing with family, friends and especially grand children. I became disabled as a United Methodist Pastor IN 2002 and retired here in Coastal Georgia on a 10 acre lake where I continue to fish despite my disabilities.

    Bill:

    I notified the website folks and asked them to remove the check.

    Also asked for a status update on personal messaging and chatroom, and will share what I hear.

    Kurt

     I received the above from Kurt just a few minutes ago.  Thought you'd like to "hear" what he is trying to do.

    thanks doc...keep our fingers cross....

    and tom......a pm means personal message....... it's so we can share some things with each other that we might not want to let anyone else want to know about.
    the chat room is a web room that several people can be in at the same time and chat about what ever comes to mind. about what ya did today, or about the kids or grandkids or maybe spread a bit of bs.......heheheheee

    Well!  I has been some time since I posted this request for return of the Chat Room.  So far I have not seen any worth while response from the Club on ths matter.  I guess once again, this has become a "DEAD HORSE" as far as those who "manage" thjis site!!!!!

    give it some more time............1 hand has no idea what the other hand has done-- or in your case what it has recieved
    but just in case, you have your proof of payment and if you like in a few days-- like monday or tuesday-- give the mag. a call or shot them an e-mail and chat it over with them..........but for now i would wait, these people are a bit on the slow side when it comes to showing that someone has payed.

    Rod Tosser:
    If you read down on the posts you will see whre I have dropped Kurt a couple of PM's and his response to one where he stated that he turned it over to the "IT" personnel, and that was the last I've heard from anyone at the club on this.  Have not had an up-date on this since!

    This thread has been on going since July 5th and no response from the club yet, other than Kurt sending it to the IT people. I don't think it will happen. They(higer up's) don't care if we have a chat room or not. I joined another site so I can chat with other members and most are from here. It's sad no one listens to the mambers that made this club what it is today.

    From the e-mail I received I believe they are promoting facebook more
    than our original web site. Read the following:

    October 25, 2010 I Fish. Got A Problem With That? You're a fisherman, and darn proud of it. So why not show it with gear from the North American Fishing Club's new online store. Fishing caps, rain gear, T-shirts with an attitude—they're all available online. And if you post a photo on the NAFC Facebook page of you wearing gear from the web store, you could win a free Rapala tackle pack.

    They need to keep this site up and going like the members want instead of  promoting facebook.

    Hi All,
    We did post a link to a chat room a few months ago, and I see some members have still been using it. It wasn't the same chat room from the previous version of the sites, but that chat room software is no longer available to us. We have looked at several packages, none seem to be quite as good as what we once had, but they seem solid. We have been working on a number of new social features that we hope to launch soon, and will be making an official announcement very shortly where we ask for members who would be willing to be "Beta Testers" of these new features, which does in fact include a chat room.

    In the mean time, because this seems to be a top priority from the members, I have added the links to the original chat room we posted several months back, as well as the newer one we plan to launch officially later. Please leave comments in this thread as to what you guys think of each chat room, and later, perhaps next week, we will create a poll to allow members to vote on the chat room of their choice as the "Official NAFC Chat room".

    Sound good?

    Here are the links:

    Chat Room 1: www.fishingclub.com/forums/chat-room.aspx
    Chat Room 2: www.fishingclub.com/forums/chat-room-2.aspx

    Thanks!

    chat room 1 mebo chat room has a whose in chat room  list   you can change the guest  number to a name but  it said nick name not excepted but it did take it the way i typed it any way  .  perhaps a bit harder for some to use as it lets you modify it .

    chat room 2  is straight forward and  simple and easy to use  but dose not say who is in the chat room if you could add a list that would be a simple straight forward room .

    some things I would like in a chat room , a list of whose on.
    A way to change text colour and size , perhaps a icon for the user but not that important.
    A way to turn sound on and off  like when some one enters the room .
    More important though  would be a tabbed link on the web sight under forums so members would know  one exists . 

    thank you for your response .

    chat rm 2......sent me to some out source chat rms. -- i didn't look any further than that because it's time for me to go to work. will check out more later.

    If at first you don't get in try updating your java first then if no go try again later or the next day , they may be updating the web site data . especially if you cant log in or the site is slow as snails .
    or you get a syntax error .

    I checked both of them out, But I would not have without Davesett2000 posting the address in this thread. I don't understand why we should have to go a www. address just to chat. Why can't the club just add a chat button to access a chat room.
    Room # 1 I felt was not very user friendly. It took me several minutes to figure it out. Didn't like it
    Room # 2 It was easier to get in, but needs a list of who is in the room. If I have to keep putting in an email address to access it I woun't use it.

    SKYCOP here is your update

     Posted By Admin Wes on 04 Nov 2010 09:06 AM
    I'm looking for 10 people who would like to test some new website features we're rolling out in the next month or so. We're expanding the existing forum software that was changed to this Spring. The forums themselves will be exactly the same, but there will be more of a community experience with places to post photos, chat is back, updated PM'ing and so on.

    If you're interested in helping test these new features, please email me with your name and member number. My direct email is wthomsen@namginc.com. I'll grab the first ten people and send you a group email with instructions once we're ready.

    Thanks!

    Wes

    I think when testing is done it would nice to have it as a pull-down pick from the forum menu: 
    Forums | Private messages | Chat, or something along that line.  Hope it works out.

    Thanks Rod Tosser.  I'll give him a try.,  Problems with logging onto the site usng user name and password., will not recognize the password, even though this is the one I received from the club when I click on "forgot my password".  Maybe this will get an answer., but I will not hold my breath on this as I have written the club IT people several times.

    have you tried copy and paste as the password & user name may be case sensitive . If you used upper and lower case leters you may have to do the same when signing in .

    At least there working on getting chat back and a better pm system .

    Maybe we should try the other chat room.
    I was in it once and you could see if other people are in it. It showed at the bottom.
    There is a little catch. You don`t have to be logged into the site to get on it, so anyone could show up.

    Hi guys, I am a new member of just a few months, but a old user of chat rooms.  I am very interested in chatting with some of you about fishing and anything else that may be of interest to the great sport of fishing.

    Hello all;

    I just checked out the chat room, and was pleasantly surprised. Easy to maneuver, and had several former discussions showing. I like that idea. Let's me see what the conversation is about before blindly joining in.  

    I can't make it there on Tues evenings, but will stop by from time to time.

    Thanks for bring the chat room back.

    Hello all;

    Was just in the chat room for a few minutes. Had a great conversation with Mrbill. Captain Quantum was there as well. I plan to be there regularly, especially when that four letter word, work, doesn't get in the way! LOL.

    Thanks for bringing back a chat room that is easy to use and get to.

    I have been in the new "room" also.  It seems pretty good but ya can't see who is there unless they have typed a message.  It would be nice if that could be changed!  Since I have moved I will now be able to attend on Tuesday nights...See ya there!

    Me three Mrbill and turnip. This is the first chatroom that
    I've been in that doesn't let you see who is in chat. Just
    a bit disconcerting, at least in my opinion.

    chat room seemed to be working nicely, but the last few days it has been takeng multiple attempts and long waits to get in. is it a speakeasy now with a little peephole for the club to look out of and see if they want to let ya in or not? hard to get on the site in general, too.

    maybe the bean counters should tell Steve P to stay home and use the money for one of his trips to upgrade or get an extra server

    My bigest problem with the chat room is there is no way to tell if anyone is on it. Would it be that diffacult to add a list of members logged in. Why don't the club put a little of the money we pay for dues and upgrade this chat room and less on Steve P's fishing trips. We thank you for giving us a place to chat, but a not knowingwho is on it is a little flustrating.

    Thursday and Friday nights both had 8 or 9 people in at one time. let's keep using it. if you sign in and nobody's there, just say hi or something, so there's visible proof that we ARE using it.

    Hey pillman et al;

    Yes, you are right, it has been pretty active in the chat room these past few days,
    maybe even weeks! Sure is great talking with everybody in real time! Hope to catch
    y'all in there again tonight.

    As pillman says, if no one is talking when you get into chat, just send out a hello or
    something. Someone will usually answer in a few minutes. Oh yeah, don't leave as
    soon as you say hello if you are not answered right away. Give it a bit of time.

    Some of us 'regulars' on there minimize the window and do other things online, and
    just listen for the tell-tale beep letting us know someone has posted. Hope to see you all in the chat room soon,
