u are a silly duffer RUM we got them allready
now if i were to change anything it would be to get rid of the most recent list at the top, that way peeps would have to read through the forums to find out what is being said :whistling: :boat:

I really don't believe that we need to change a thing , these forums were set up for a purpose and I think that they will come to the fore when we have more members.

Now that Springtime is here and fishin trips are becoming more frequent it is up to us members to take friends fishing and encourage them to JOIN.

There is a lot of young interested teenagers out there that would love to be taken under the wing of us members for fishing trips , lets help them out , and believe me these kids all have computers and know how to use them.

old fart more likly

Posted by: Fed Sep 27 2007, 01:15 AM

Yep, the forum topics are out of hand.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 27 2007, 03:31 AM

I Dont think they're out of Hand @ All

Admitingly I have no interest in some of them @ all BUT others might very well do so maybe not now whilst we are a small member base but in the future this may nery well change.

And here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about !

How many of us here actually go out for a regular fish ???

Not Bloody Many @ all

And if peeps dont go fishing then what have they really got to talk about ?????????????????????????????

No boating Q's raised
No tackle Q's raised
No advice asked on how to fish

Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

Get My Point ?

Yea, I just thought if we combined a few of them a litttle it might encourage more chatter,

is there any need for all these

Keep up too date
have your say
computer support

These could all be put under one catagory, Ie, Forum information and Support

Also, Fishing reports? Is there a need to seperate the 3 catagories? I think it would be easier to read if reports were all together?

Just An Idea? thought Id mention it anyway

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Sep 29 2007, 10:34 PM

Possibly the order of the topics also, Its a minor thing, but have the more used topics closer to the top?

Lol well that's up to The master,I only set up the starting package and he has continued it further .

I have to agree some could be migrated into others and make then sub forums of a main topic.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 30 2007, 07:33 PM

They're like a bunch of old women oz !

1st they whine can we have this forum & that forum then when you give them what they want

They bloody well have another bloody whinge

Anybody would think this was a pommy site

Posted by: poly Sep 30 2007, 08:00 PM

some how i don't think RUM DUST N RUCKUS was having a WINGE in fact i would say he has the best interests of the sight in mind, all though i did not agree that changers are needed.
keep it up RUM we nead a few more members like u my friend :TazSpin2:

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 30 2007, 08:59 PM

I'm refering to thet bloody Fed charactor

Reckon his fishing tackle has that many cob webs on it it's not funny

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Sep 30 2007, 10:53 PM

yea, no winge,

The reason i bring it up is that there are so many topics to go through, and it sometimes turns me off and ill just check the important ones and more so am finding the recent topics all to easy, which is good when you havnt got time, but you miss topics that have been put in the quieter areas.

Anyways, just a thought...

Very easy just click

View new posts

Hey Jumpy,

That might be easy for a brainiac like ya'self , but for unedumacated goobers like my self can't ya make it easier .

See most of the time when i get on the puter i'm in a mad rush & i see somthing i like & click on that b4 i remember to hit ' veiw new post's '

sooooo my question is this .... can we have a ' veiw all unread posts ' , just a thought .

If we already have that op' can you direct me to it please aaaahahaha .

& while i'm at it i've always wanted to ask this but have been too , well embarrased , but hey i can cop it.Well the missus visits a site and they have a games section , i know i know , what can i say ... i still have'nt grown up yet .

Any way they have to make six post in a day b4 they can play the games , reckon it'd be cool B) to have a few ' fishing games ' on the site .Even if it is just for me when youse are all in beddy bye's .

Who knows it may even draw in more members .

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Nov 20 2007, 04:03 AM

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 20 2007, 04:11 AM

That option has allways been there.

As long as you dont log off you can use view new posts option for around 4 hrs I think

Posted by: Smelly Nov 20 2007, 05:04 AM

i knew i'd be made a fool.


OK thanx for that but what about the games , huh huh huh


I think Chadds keen for'em too


I'm VAITING :whistling:

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 20 2007, 02:53 PM

Why dont you & Chadd play pin the tail on the donkey with each other , just have turns @ being the donkey

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Jan 31 2008, 11:36 PM

going to bring this up again sorry guys,

I still feel there are to many broad forums to go through (20 somthing!!!!)

Less forums and more chat in each one.

Also the veiw new post function does not work real well.. The one on SFF works much better (waiting for a hit across the head for that one)

Im not trying to stir or anything here, just still feel there are to many but make a judgement for yourself? but plesae keep an open mind and have a look....

for example, could these not be combined into one topic??? say, "Forums news and support"
Help & Computer Support
Have your say
Just to keep you up to date

Anywayz, sorry to bring it up again!
