The same text size change we made on the article pages just rolled out to the forums.  Default text is larger.  It may feel like getting a new pair of glasses these first few days and your eyes adjust to the new size.

Well, I have certainly done my share of complaining over the last couple of years.  I agree, it is great that someone has been given the responsibility to address the issues surrounding this website & bulletin board.  Many thanks for that!

But I must say that the biggest issue that a lot of members are having is the "timing out" while trying to bring up a thread.  Perhaps that is just the way it is going to be considering the software that this site uses...But I think there is a valid point to be made here, and that is many, many members use dial-up to access this site.  It is my hope that this site will be improved in a way that will allow easier access and greater enjoyment to an already great membership.  My two cents!

There's some work being done on the forum width settings and we do know about the bad line breaks.

Don`t know what break lines are but they seem to have made a difference on this end. Running much faster for me know.

Is it possible to get the name of the last person to post in a thread put back up on the index board in the different sections?

The mics archives make no difference to me. Was just a thought of freeing up some space if it was needed.

Thanks for all you seem to be doing and for taking the time to talk with us a little. It`s appreciated!!!!

Hey "E"--   Thanks for what you are doing,it shows that ya'll do care about the club and members. And I'll be willing to bet after reading your last entry that you are also a he** of a lot better looking than Tony is; too!!  And I don't think my "lil" ol' pea-pickin brain is too far off--right? Keep up the good work --cuz it's gettin better each day!

I agree with the last person to post item. It is a nice feature to have.

The biggest issues we've got with the forums are the ones that you guys inherently already know. Long threads taking forever to post on. When you do post, what you see immediately below the post field is the very first post and not the last, etc. Let's put it this way, they are not easy fixes. These are the sit and wait ones. I know that's frustrating to hear, but that's the truth of the matter.

fishnhunt guesses correctly that I am a woman. But hey, Tony was on the cover of the Dec 08 /Jan 09 issue so don't count him out.

E.

When we want to make a post on a thread with lets say 6 pages we just don't see the first page as you pointed out we see all 6 pages 230 + posts beneath the posting area, and have to wait until all 6 pages, wording, pictures etc are fully loaded before it will let us type a reply.

E.  Think of me as a virtual librarian for all the clubs.  thank you

Guys -- I changed the title of this topic and made it a sticky for the time being. 

We just shut off the "Anonymous" post option.  Not sure if that was an unpopular feature here, but your buddies over at the Hunting club hated it.

  Good Morning E.-- Again Thanks! I think I can speak for most of the members in saying we definitely appreciate all the efforts to improve the forums and the club in general. I am one of the strong opponents of "Anonymous' posts at NAHC and most of us here feel the same! If a person doesn't have the courage to post under their name and signature ---they should not be posting.. The biggest consenses of most members is that there was not a two way communication and that we are being ignored. It is understandible that the editors and management have busy schedules as well as yourself; however, a simple response only takes an instant!! You, Tony,Kurt and others that have jumped in have shown that club admin is interested and making an attempt to improve all areas of concern. We all known that everything is not going to be an overnight fix and I'm sure that that there will be petty gripes in future.As they say; "You can't please everyone"; but, it's the majority that counts. This is a great club with a great membership and with effort we can make it greater. BTW--We won't give up on Tony neither  cuz he has also made a definite difference! With that I'll will sit back-- have a cup of that coffee and watch all the improvements take place!! Take Care, Good Fishing and may God Bless.

On the old site I used to get an e-mail notice that I had a pm from someone on the BB, and once on the BB there was a message that said that you had a new message. Could we get back to that, cuz I think people forget to click on the control panel, or don't even know that's where they are.

I'd be happier if this crap didn't happen....tried to make a post in Members Tips...and got this "blank page"....even after Refreshing 10 times

I agree. I also post on the bass resources web site and I use this feature frequently to communicate personally with several friends I've made on that site as well as the Arizona bass zone web site. It would also be nice to have our city and state posted under our user name , as it is on those sites as well. Thanks.     Happy fishing.

davesett2000 -- Looking at your screenshot, most likely someone on this side of things was tweaking something on the site at the same time you were trying to post. 

The downside of us working on the website bugs is we're susceptible to more hiccups throughout the day.

There are some constraints imposed by the software and by design, but it's depends on what part of the site we're talking about. What are you thinking of ICB?

It's better now than it's ever been albeit not perfect. I can even read it now without my old-timers glasses. Keep tweeking and thanks.
