Please welcome our newest sponsor, the Outdoor Channel! Really they don't need an introduction, as they are well-known amongst us. They are introducing new streaming videos on their site. Click their banner and check them out. And please help me welcome them aboard!

Toyota Tundra Women's Angler of the Year, Kim Bain, will be the 1st woman to fish in the Bassmaster Classic & compete for $500,000. Kim was interviewed by Katie Couric last week & the segment will air tomorrow night (Thursday) at 6:30pm ET/PT on the CBS Evening News. Mike Iaconelli will also be featured on tonight's interview.

As you're typing a reply, stop and look the right of the box. Big link called "Check spelling".

Yes, it's by design. Current statistics show that only 20% of people browsing the web have a screen resolution of 1024x768 or smaller. The rest use larger screen resolutions.

"new" icons have been fixed. Hit F5 if they're still blue. And I don't understand the second part of your question. But if I had the power to automatically refresh the internet, I'd be a rich man. ;D

He doesn't know how to use the three seashells! Gonna need one after eating a rat burger. :

Tip: Try out the spell checker when you make a post.

shoulda?

First minor glitch - it seems extra spaces and line returns in signatures have been converted to "&&&&" during the upgrade. I can't go back and fix that. You will need to go into your profile and remove them from your own signature. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate them. Feedback is vital to me. The primary purpose for these new forums, from what I gather from reading here, is to cut down on the number of "redundant" and "bonehead" posts in the rod and reels section. I can understand how annoying it can be reading these posts after being here for quite some time. After awhile, it seems the new and unique posts are few and far between. And most of these posts seem to come from new members. While this can get old to some, keep in mind that new members are the life blood of any community, be it a bass club, forum, or whatever. "Newbies" are full of questions, and as "old timers", it's our responsibility to help them. Lord knows we needed the help when we were first starting. ;D The key is to remember that you are stewards of the sport. Each new member is as important as the most seasoned, and should be treated as such. Sure it can be annoying answering the same question over and over, knowing full well that if they used the search feature they'd find answers. But just sit back and smile, as you remind yourself it's a sign the sport is growing. - Glenn

I'm pleased to announced I've made some major updates to the forums. These include several bug fixes, performance improvements, new features, and layout improvements. I'm confident you'll be delighted with the new features and functionalities. Some highlights of the improvements are: Top of Page Button Pie Charts for Polls Showcase Poll Multi-Attachments Avatar Uploader Expand/Collapse Advanced Extended Profiles Spell Checker Server loading and speed improvements Improved Topic Notifications Allow brackets in search / search routine speed improvements Improved "Send to a Friend" feature Revised and expanded Help Files Improved Login display at bottom of main page Ability to search by user name in PMs Birthday greeting for member on their birthday Direct link to new PMs Updated (Live) Preview Layout in Post and PM, added automatic resize live preview field Improved readibility of links below buttons in PMs Bug Fixes: ----------------------------------------- - E-mail notifications for posts and PMs not working correctly - PM Live Preview not working correctly - Date/Time Zone display different than settings - Improved security to prevent URL abuse of image tags - Improved security of E-mail by keeping addresses encoded - Improved readability of validation code and added field to view selected color - Corrected high page number layout problems in member list - E-mail addresses starting with letter "o" making a smiley - Special characters in passwords, email, and username - Special characters ( and ) in Displayed Name - HTML removed from signatures - Numerous issues with Personal Messages - Some members erroneously showing as Ex-Members - Letter D converted erroneously into smiley - Alert Moderator feature returned user to first page of topic instead of originalpost - Missing link for user name in User CP - URLs being ripped in posts - Words filtered out with Censor list were not filtered in RSS feed - Deleting PM from PM view caused error in PM Storage listing - PM storage page index did not display properly Plus numerous enhancements and small fixes. Of course, with any new update, there may be a thing or two I missed. If you see any weirdness, please first refresh your browser. This solves most issues. However, if a problem persists, please let me know. Also note the spellchecker uses an external database that I cannot control. It does not contain many common bass fishing terms such as spinnerbait, crankbait, and dropshot. This is not a bug. Please do not report dictionary "omissions", as I have no control over it. Thanks, and enjoy! If you are using IE6, you will see pale blue bars instead of green. This is due to a bug in IE6. It is not a problem with the forums. Please upgrade to IE7 now and the problem will disappear.

If you're going to shoot sporting clays, you'll need an auto.

Yes, that's the channel I'm talking about. Fish it from the island to deeper water in lk. WA. Get right in the middle of it. The channel is well marked by marker bouys. 40-60ft is about right this time of year.

Just a reminder - if you have the ability to upgrade your browswer, do it now.... as in TODAY!
