That seems to happen if the page isn't completely loaded before you click on the banner. There is a new release of the software that I am hoping helps to stop that

Laurie is changing things again - this time her name. Is this camo so you can sneak around in here without being noticed $:-\$

MotherNature · « **Reply #28 on:** August 17, 2007, 04:55:16 PM »

Well if it I sure didn't do a good job of it... I got several PM's this morning asking me when the heck I had changed my name

Swede · « **Reply #29 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:04:24 PM »

The word got out - you'll have to make this a daily ritual if you want to remain undetectable

MotherNature · « **Reply #30 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:06:57 PM »

I don't have that much energy

I think I will leave it this way for a while

Swede · « **Reply #31 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:08:45 PM »

Thanks You - now I can keep track of you

Have a great weekend - will be back on later tonight for a bit - then off tomorrow for tourney weekend.

MotherNature · « **Reply #32 on:** August 17, 2007, 08:26:24 PM »

I am glad someone is keeping track of me... When I get lost I know who to call and I get lost quite often these days

I hope you have a good weekend and let us know how you do.....

I think I like this site. Everythings great and I've never had a problem.

mlakrid · « **Reply #36 on:** November 05, 2007, 12:34:44 PM »

I know its been a while since the changes but I figured I would ask the question that has been lingering in my mind...

Did the size of the margins change for the forums? I get a MUCH smaller horizontal view... is it possible to change the format on my end??

I just liked it better when it filled the screen out from left to far right... because I have a 24" wide aspect screen...

Lastly, am I the only one seeing it this way guys?

Just curious...

I have the same thing with my monitor at work, only using the middle half of the screen...

MotherNature · « **Reply #38 on:** November 05, 2007, 03:07:47 PM »

The template of the forum matches the main site and I don't have anything in place for you the user to change it on your end.

I have considered making it wider but there are still some old farts that like it to fit in their 600x800 monitors.

For now there are no solid plans to change it as that would be a several month long chore to change all of the parts of the site to a new template.

It takes for ever for pages to load. I am on dial up but this forum takes 10 times longer to load as other sites I visit. Its one of the reasons I have not been on here lately that much. It just takes to long to load

BassHunter69 · « **Reply #40 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:03:43 AM »

MotherNature load time is faster then usual for me, posting is working great only timed out 3 times and wasnt on long but thats ok. site looks great so my hats off to you and mike

MotherNature · « **Reply #41 on:** November 06, 2007, 06:43:10 PM »

Every time I work on the site I try to find ways to help it load quicker. Dial-up is one of those things that I can not compete with. I try to keep the items that are on the page such as graphics at a small size so that they don't take up so much load time but again I can't just get rid of them.

I am not trying to change the subject or point fingers but one of the things that helps out on load time is also to make sure that you do a disk clean up on a regular basis. It helps your computer work easier and it will also help the pages that you browse load quicker.

You computer under most cases stores cached copies of the graphics that are on our page and each time you visit it goes out and checks to make sure that those same graphics are still here and that you need them. Unfortunately it doesn't always discard the unnecessary files and you are left with a pile of poop that will eventually slow down your computer and your browsing ability.

Back on the topic... I will work on the load time again to see if we can't get it back to something that is a little more manageable.

thanks MotherNature you've done a fantastic job

kickinbass · « **Reply #43 on:** November 07, 2007, 06:51:19 AM »

I understand your doing the best you can no doubt. I have a brand new PC and am pretty good with a computers and know about cookies and other related stuff. I am here to just let you know the load time is slow for dial up. I would love to be on cable or dsl but I have not been able to get it in my area yet. Well cable is available but very expensive. Just something to keep in mind. Load time between pages is almost 30 seconds. Other sites its less the 5 seconds. Just something I wanted you to be aware of.

Laurie, I am no computer whiz, but this is a description of the problem I have noticed. Sometimes It will say waiting for UB for a long time and any other site I go to it will come right up. $:-\$ I know part of the problems I am having at home are with my DSL. There is static and they havent been able to find the bad spot in the line.

i get this problem too and then i get a page not available notice.... click refresh and as emeril would say BAM it right up meanwhile everything else loads when i cant here..... just a few times a week nothing major

MotherNature · « **Reply #46 on:** November 07, 2007, 12:30:04 PM »

Thanks guys... I do have a help ticket in to our tech reps to see if there is anything that we can do on the server side to speed things up a bit

OutdoorFrontiers · « **Reply #47 on:** November 07, 2007, 07:32:10 PM »

Ok, I just read through all of the replies and no one mentioned an issue I seem to be having.

When I first come on to the site, the first place I go is to the forums and click on "Show new replies to your posts."

Lately, when I do that, it brings up posts that haven't had a reply since last May or June! If I refresh, then it brings up current posts or none at all, whatever the case may be.

That is the first thing I do as well Steve, but I haven't had a problem with it at all

Same here, I've had no problems like that, but.........there is one related thing that I have noticed. Sometimes somebody will reply to a thread that I have started or posted in, but it doesn't show up in my "Show new replies to your posts".
