Bruce, thanks for the pm, I hope you stick it out.

LOL... ya that makes more sense..

Bruce, that's a shame really.. you will be missed, and theres no reason to leave. Theres a couple of reasons we went to the upgrade, mainly spambot/hackers/speed issues. The main look of the board has always been the club skin so we bought the updated version of it. Did you try the default skin??? One of the main issues is that its difficult to see what its all gonna look like till its installed... we tried some ads in the threads.. some people didn't like it, so we are going back to the old style. Its not that we aren't listening, we are definitely doing what we can. BUT the bottom line is (and we held off doing this for a long time) is that we had to upgrade to the next version. There really wasn't much of a choice. I had a photogallery a few years ago. It ran three years and had thousands of pictures on it. It got hacked and we lost everything, all because everything was "working fine" so I didn't bother to upgrade the software... till it got destroyed, then it was way, way too late. I won't learn that lesson again, especially here. "OFC MICKEY MOUSE" ... after 10 years of trial and tribulations here, hours and hours of good work and deeds for other people... well, that just hurts my feelings.

There really only two available right now.. the problem with them is that #1 they have to be purchased, and #2 they have to be configured. Were trying to get the two we have configured and then we can discuss whether we need others or not.

Happy Bday Wayne!!

I realize that, but until google reindex the pages were gonna get some wierd stuff.

Ya know guys... were just doing the best we can.....

Sponsor ads are gone... were working on alternatives...

Looks like were gonna rework things a bit... no worries.

LOL.. I remember when Yahoo said they would never be a "for profit" site....

Its true... but not fishing ones... hot water heater repair.. and tutu repair sites.. tahts it I swear... and were gonna keep it down to one ad per thread....

Ive been on a ton of boards that do it that way... unless everyone wants to PAY to be on here.. lol...

I think were gonna try showing one google ad per post. We have to raise our revenue up a bit to cover our costs...

Oh.. ill be fishing soon...

Yup.. were testing a few different ways to deliver the ads...

WOW... thats all I can say.... Glad hes on our side... its Mercers Mercenaries for sure...

nice!!!!

As long as its verbatim and theres no privacy clause associated with the email, I can't see why not.

I don't know why this stuff surprises me. Every time there is a change in gov't, some money goes out to small localities to build these eco-centers.. first it was Mattawa and then one popped up in Elk Lake. They are supposed to be a conference and meeting center, but soon they realize that they cant stay afloat doing that and then start to market their accommodations.... much to the detriment of local outfitters. The Elk Lake Eco Center is doing exactly that, here is a quote from a letter I received. As far as I know the centers original contract said that it was not supposed to in any way harm or hinder local businesses. It was supposed to be a meeting and conference center. Now its DIRECTLY competing with Lodges and Outfitters, taking much needed business in these tough times away. It has to stop. How would you feel if the government opened a business next to yours, brand new state of the art buildings and equipment, with your tax dollars, and then competed with you. Really doesn't seem fair to me. The outfitters have raised their concerns.. maybe its time for the public (yes thats you..) to as well. have a look at the site and make your own decision and maybe email them with a question or two?? http://www.elklakeeco.com - [email protected]

I think a number appears there if you have messages...

Well... I try to be humble.. LOL

I think were looking at how to reduce the size of the avatar section.. theres gonna be some tweaking involved..

Yup.. its on the list.

Ya.. I think its way way faster...

Nice to see ya back Carole.. we painted the place while you were gone!!
