IMHO this is important info and this forum header should really be locked. It should only be for admins to keep us informed of what is going on in the club or with the site .

Not for any other topic like littter granted it is frustrating but it don't really belong in this heading .

Is it possible to give us an alternate Sign In link so we can bypass the main Club page and sign in directly to the Forums?

When I sign in...I'm getting this error...

CPU usage is a bit too high for some reason when changing between webpages.

And I have a faster than average computer...with a dual core Pentium D 2.80 GHz and 1.99 GB RAM

And I don't understand why I'm getting all the Facebook html pages and widgets Javascripts in my Temporary Internet Files

I'd be money these have to do with the slowness on here

You're welcome Wes.

Also...every time I go to another webpage...I get one each MORE of these types of files...

1. Facebook Login Status html
2. widgets.js Javascript
3. DotNetNukeAjaxShared.js

I don't understand the reason to have multiple versions of certain types of Javascripts and html docs in the Temp Int Files.

Here's a couple of screenshots...and below a link to a more readable version of the top one.

As far as the "new and improved" PM system, how come Admin Wes is not a valid username? Every time this site upgrades I get the feeling that the older guys who are less tech savvy are deliberately excluded. It will probably take me a year to figure out all the changes and about that time things will change once again. When I first joined the club the site was much faster and a whole bunch easier to use. If I wanted to deal with Facebook I would go there! I fear that many of the older members who are the backbone of the club will leave the forums taking their invaluable experience with them. I am also not pleased to see that my personal information is now part of my public profile! It seems strange that I don't have control of my personal info, even Facebook only posts what the user inputs! Tom

Tom, I feel the same way.  I have a Facebook account but rarely use it for the same reasons that you state (as soon as you figure it out it changes).   I will make an honest attempt to understand the "how to", but to be honest I feel I will lose out on a lot and eventually drop out...But I'll try!   Also, I don't understand bringing up a site when the speed is so slow...

I've been poking around the site for a little while now and have found it's gotten much faster.

Hey Foxl

I believe it is when you joined/rejoined the forum, not the NAFC.     
 I know I joined the club in 2003, joined the forum a year or so later, but it says I have been a member since 3/2010. That is when I remembered that there was a forum for the club and rejoined the forum.  

Hope that helps,

... Seeing how I'm on dial up it takes anywhere from 5 to ten minutes to load a page   and the video's don't load ... most of the time I get a arror message >system has timed out or this page can not be displayed   Oh well less time here means I will have more time to fish..

I don't like the facebook format ...   could we get a color change to the highlited task bars  white on grey is hard on the eyes?

Every time I use the quote feature in a reply, it looks as though the whole post is a reply, even what I am writing.

Maybe you guys can check to see why?

It's working well for me.

Are you writing your text above or below the quote?  That might be the issue.

When will we be able to create groups.  I've got a really good idea for one.

Yes, I did the compatibility thingy!

IF YOU CANT ACCESS THE SITE .

A FEW  THINGS TO CONSIDER IS THAT THEY MAY BE  BACKING UP DATA OR MAKING CHANGES SO THE SERVERS  RUN FASTER  AND THE SITE MAY BE OFF LINE OR SLOWER  WELL THEY DO THIS > IF AT FIRST YOU FAIL TRY AGAIN LATER 

Another problem some of the people are having is due to there INTERNET connection ,  Lets face it dial up suck, if you can get or afford high speed INTERNET service it will probably solve half your time out and choppy video problems . But lets face it dial up is more cost efficient or is it ? depends on how you use your computer .
I watch tv ,video , movies , listen to live music streams,  play games , down load files  , so to me the price is justified . I don't have all day to download a file and then be booted for being inactive and have to start over or have the streaming content start over and over and over . Only you can decide if its worth it .

I doubt that dial up access is the problem although it might make it worse from a user standpoint. I have a DSL connection and I still have problems with the site. This is the only site of it's type that I have a problem with, so let's let the blame fall in the right place- the servers the club is using or some part of the hardware is just not up to snuff! Maybe the problem is the club's internet connection? Tom

While this new redesign might improve the club's revenue stream it sure seems like a huge step backwards from a user's standpoint! Today while trying to post my computer got a 500 error code and completely froze up! I had to close out of IE completely in order to regain control. Things like this keep happening I will find something else to do with my time thank you! Tom

When I tried to post a new profile pic, it gave me an error code and said that it was "denied".

Anyone else having this problem?

Posted By WalleyeWayne on 22 Dec 2010 07:20 AM
This morning the site is moving the quickest it has (for me) since the latest upgrade. However, each morning I visit the site my preference is to click on "Active Topics" or "Not Read" so I don't have to filter through the Main Page in search of recent posts since my last visit. Neither of these two options has worked for me yet!!!! They both time out for some reason. CAN WE HAVE A RESOLVE TO THIS???????

I get an error when I try to access "Active Topics" and "Unanswered Topics".

A critical error has occurred. Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Ok Trev, I hear what you are saying, but before this latest change you could see who was on the site which tells me that if there are more than FOUR folks on at the same time you will have a major slow down problem (by your words)! So that's not working for me...Unless you are saying that the servers needs upgrading? Looking for clairity here...

Pete the server may be running all of the clubs .I am not sure that they have a individual server  just for us.  I would hope so but it is probably unlikely.

Thanks for that post...info...and website Dan

Actually...it's not uncommon for several websites to be on one server. For example, the server that Rapala is on has 10 other websites on it...

http://www.dedicatedornot.com/sites/www.rapala.com

And here's a surprise...even though Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas have dedicated servers...they are both hosted in Europe

http://www.dedicatedornot.com/sites/www.basspro.com

http://www.dedicatedornot.com/sites/www.cabelas.com

That said...I think all the pieces have been figured out to this mystery

Since there's so many "clubs" on that server...all with forums...videos to watch...and flash advertisements...

Coupled with tracking for data collection...to include Microsoft and our ISP's

And we end up with slooooow page loads on here 

As a side note...my local ISP tech rep told me months ago (when I was having major problems) that many ISP's are having bandwidth issues...simply from just all the flash ads and videos being sent around the 'Net

And I'm still having problems with a slow computer even when not on the 'Net...even after scans with 6 different malware / virus programs

 Well,suspicions:CONFIRMED.Sounds like a bunch of mental midgets in IT and bean counter departments.Not smart enough to realize that by putting 11 clubs on one server,there WILL be PROBLEMS.
Of course,the bean counters more than likely have NO concept about IT,and the problems that accompany that department.
Now if the honchos here don`t like the comments that I posted,WELL,I have two words for them,and it ain`t MERRY CHRISTMAS.
They need to get their butts out of the cheap seats,and do right by the club members.

Some thoughts and observations. I seriously doubt the club cares even a bit about Life or Trophy members. We have paid our dues and no further revenue is forthcoming. The web site will probably continue to decline. Apparently there are sufficient hits to keep the ad rates up, so why invest in improving the site? Whoever is making the decisions in the IT dept seems minimally qualified. Why does the site open on that absolutely useless main page instead of the home page that a user needs to access anyway? There are other websites out there that operate at a much higher level and most of them are free. Don't tell me it can't be done because others are doing it! Some of the long time members may have noticed that my participation is way down, and I have noticed this trend in other long time members that had a lot to contribute. The new members are the ones who suffer- especially those just starting to fish seriously. The way things stand I could not in good concience recommend joining to an aquaintance. Tom

What just happened? After about an hour of on and off attempts to log in I was finally able to get past the 500 errors only to find a page I have never seen with no place to sign in. Are we "improving" again?

Take with a grain of salt, lots of water and call the office in a week to let me know how you made out:  http://www.facebook.com/FishingClub...8521377281

What a crock! If I wanted to use Facebook I would log in on Facebook. The club can't even address its members on the forum? Or is using the forums too slow for them also?

Posted By turnip on 15 Jan 2011 09:21 PM
welp, I have about had it...good luck to you all...this saddens me but I find no pleasure with this site any more (not the people). I am truly disappointed with the club and if I had known they were going to ruin this site I never would have bothered to go life member...or any kind of member for that matter...The web site is the ONLY reason I renewed my membership. I wish you all the very best. I have a good many email addys so I know how to get in touch with you.

Stay well, friends!

Hey guys...have you seen the new face on the home page? It seems ol' Stevo's been ousted for the "hot chick" approach. Geez...not surprising I guess...it is the way to go these days.
