Thanks for screen shot Smitty - very helpful. It looks like you just have to be logged in and those dots or stars will appear there. Here is what I'm seeing: Clicking on those dots will take you to the first unread post. The key I think is simply that you need to make sure you are logged in otherwise you won't ever see any dots. Thanks again - Chad

Good morning guys - Made a couple updates. I'm not familiar with the icon you are talking about that takes you to the last unread comment but I think I figured out an equivalent solution. I've adjusted the board settings a little here: I've also noticed on the forum page itself, you will see the last page of the thread listed if there are mulitple pages: Hope this helps! Chad

Hahahah.... yeah part of the upgrade was a lot more icons/emojis (for better or worse I guess ?

Happy Father's day guys. I did an upgrade to the site this morning and also installed this as a new default skin on the site. It should be much faster load times and easier to read than previous version. I still got a couple things to do on it but just a quick notice as to what I am working behind the scenes here. Glad to hear you guys like it so far ?

Awesome fish man - very cool stuff Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for headsup guys on this guys. By any chance do you have a pop-up blocker installed? Have you seen this issue recently (as in the last day or two? Thanks again - Chad

Wow - that is awesome!!! Nice fish - congrats!

I had a chance to attend "Musky Sunday" yesterday and had a great time. I thought the presenters (Jim Saric, Gord Pyzer, John Anderson and Jeremy Smith) did a great job and I really enjoyed getting a chance to speak with some of them afterwards. I really liked how the presenters went into deeper musky strategies and environmental factors rather than just another presentation about why you need to do a figure-8 at the boat. It was also nice getting a chance to meet Mike and some other OFC members while I was up there. Bought a couple new Handlebarz for the 2018 season - already looking forward to spring!

I'm all signed up - thanks for the discount code guys. Looking forward to "Musky Sunday"

Mike - do they have many musky booths there? Thinking of taking family up on Sunday.

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you all enjoy some time off with friends and family.

Wow.... I wouldn't be able to afford the gas bill just to start those up. Pretty cool!

Hi guys - Thanks for feedback. Wood theme will take some time and work until work out some of the finer details. npt1 - I agree. Unfortunately our hand was forced because of the old software we were running. IPB would no longer offer support of any kind and the entire site was in jeopardy unless we upgraded. This meant the next time you saw one of the database errors, could have been the last if we didn't take action. I'm one who believes in the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" model but the alternative here was we could lose the entire site. Our hand was forced. At the bottom of the site you can change themes to a more basic version easily. I'll continue to work on the short comings of this theme - I'm personally not a big fan of the text-shadow here; looks blurry to me. Stay tuned and thanks again for the patience everyone - Chad

Yeah these shadow effects need to be fixed.... i'll look into this guys. Thanks.

I agree AKRISONER - I will work on these finer details in the days/weeks to come here once I take care of the bigger issues. Thanks for the feedback and patience.

Thanks for the patience guys - site seems to be running really slow right now. I think what is happening is the backend software is still updating many things so it might take a day or two until the speed ramps up a bit. Still seems to be working fine though so far....

Hi guys - I talked with the IPB team earlier, it was an ugly upgrade from some really old and outdated software. They had to do a lot of error fixing and such. The upgrade was completed, so now it is just a matter of fine-tuning out some details. Hopefully within the next week or two here of working on it we can get things back to feeling somewhat normal. I guess it is better than database errors every day ;-) Thanks for the patience as we work through this - Chad

Awesome fish Mike - congrats on the new PB!

That is really cool! Love it!

Nice fish Mike!!

Great stuff - love seeing that

Hahaha - that is funny!

Haha great story. Justice served.
