Nice suprise, eh? took me a bit to figure it out. A bit of warning would have been nice. Tom

Ok it's not just me!!I thought maybe I was booted out of the club.I had to use my last name and member #,But I made it in after about an hour of trying.I can see Y You guys that have been here for years get frustrated this will be the 2nd time for you guys to get used to changes.

This new change is just another to keep the members confused so they can't ever decide whether they are being ripped off or not. I hate this format and I'm not far from hating this club.

LOL Well I guess Starting over for the third time in 10 years aint bad LMAO

I was like you yesterday lycotrout. thought my lifetime membership had expired but I found out I was still alive. either that or my work was blocking my access to the website.

Hello Hidoug,

I'm sorry for the confusion. As you may know the site was down Sunday and into Monday morning and since this change was in the works it was decided to make the transition a little early. Thanks for your patience during the bumpy ride. There are some bugs that will be worked out but overall this should provide a faster site and forum with some added technical benefits being rolled out.

There are some new discussion topics on the very bottom of the Fishing Club Forum that will show people how to use the new system, make test posts to try different features out and report bugs.

Will we get our post count back??????

Thank You

Virgil Kinder

Hi All,
Just want to give a bit of an explanation on the changeover. We were building out this new forum with new functionality, etc, and as we got really close to the end, we started to have site issues on Sunday night and Monday morning at the server level on the actual site, we started spinning some time to fix those issues, and ultimately just made the decision to cut over now to the new forums. We apologize for the lack of a notice because of that, but realized it made little sense to spend time working on a forum that was going away in a week or so, and was probably better to just rip the band aid off and get to work on this new forum.

I think you guys will like this new forum, it has a number of new features, like posting pictures in line, custom sort options that you can choose, etc. We also have a new community manager to help answer questions, hear suggestions, and talk fishing. Because of the quick turnover, we aren't done, and will be listening to your feedback as to how we can make this forum better.

Thanks all!

I would like my post count back.

Also where is the PMs at?????

Thank You

Private Messaging will be back in action but there are some other things being worked on at the moment.

Please migrate issues you're having down to the "Using the Forums" heading below the state threads. There you can post issues with bugs in the "Report Bugs Here" section where they will be seen first.

Thanks.

Can't say one way or the other yet on this "new" look! But I do not like the fact that no notice was given, or even a hint of the site being changed. Let's see what number of post this old lifer gets. Lifer since 1997

I still do not like it!  With the contests, you now have to type in a code to enter the contests!  WHY?  Once you are logged in and verified as a member that should be sufficient.  The remember button does not seem to "remember" your log in either.  Two days in a row I hahve had to use my last name an memeber number in order to get onto the site.  This is pure B.S.

Hello Skycop,
"With contests, you now have to type in a code to enter contests! WHY?"

The verification code keeps people from using artificial means to enter repeatedly and have an unfair advantage. I can see your point and will make sure it gets brought up. Having human intervention to type characters from an image is pretty standard these days for contests and it was perceived as a necessary precaution.

If you can email me your last name and member number I can look into why your account isn't remembering the password. Please email me before tomorrow evening at wthomsen@namginc.com
