Please go to our links section and click the appropriate category for your site. Then click "Add a Link" at the bottom of the page and fill out the form. You will then be added to our database for processing. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE LISTED IN OUR LINKS.

I can't login to the forums!
Here's a few things for you to try:
  • Your username and password are case-sensitive ("password" is different from "PassWord", which is different from "PASSWORD"). Please type in username/password EXACTLY how you did when you registerd (and check to be sure your caps lock is off).

  • If you are getting an error after clicking the link in your activation e-mail, then that's an indication the link "wrapped" to a 2nd line in your e-mail. You will need to piece together the two lines in your browser. Do this by copying and pasting the two lines together in the address bar. For example, the link in your e-mail may look something like this:

    <http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?action=activate;u
    sername=677660677A7D;activationkey=1CqNW1Ub6jLsA>

    You need to piece the two parts together in the address bar so it looks like this:

http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?action=activate;username=677660677A7D;activationkey=1CqNW1Ub6jLsA

  • When you copy and paste the URL, do not include the <> brackets.
  • If you just signed up, but did not get your username/password sent to you, please check your "junk mail", "spam", or "deleted" folders for the e-mail. If you do not find it there, please check your filters to ensure BassResource.com is marked as "safe", then return to the forums.
       You will see items titled "Home", "Login", "Register", etc. Click on "Login". On this new page, you will see a button titled "Forgot Password". Click this button. A new page will load with a single box. Enter your username or the e-mail address you registered with (remember, your username is case-sensitive). Click the button titled "Send". Now check your e-mail for your username/password.

  • If you waited several days before attempting to validate your e-mail, then the the validation code has expired. You will need to use the "Forgot Password" function as described above to get a new activation e-mail.
