Hey folks, Along with a new site, please join me in welcoming two new additions to our moderator staff: Nate Follmer and Mike Goodson (Long Mike)! Nate will be moderating, evangelizing, inspiring, and assisting members with the new Gallery section. Nate is an avid photography and video nut, and has a college background in these media types. He knows his stuff!! Mike is... well, you know. All kidding aside, Mike has been a treasured member here for years. Despite his looks, he's a very intelligent gent, who ran his own business and consultation services for years. Mike will be moderating the comments posted on all the articles, videos, and other pages found outside the forums. Of course both are avid anglers who are passionate about the sport, and always willing to help others learn more. Welcome to the Mod Squad gentlemen!

I'm sorry you had difficulties logging in. To be sure, it's been more difficult for some than others. The whole "username" vs "screen name" thing is throwing everyone a curve ball. But at least the password can easily be changed once you're logged in. To change your password: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/index.php?app=core&module=help Click "Your settings"

There was no PM icon for yourself in the old forum either .... ever. You're just NOW noticing that?

I had 955. Beat that!

If you did not clean up your PM box before the migration, then you're likely over you limit of PMs. This means... You Will Not Receive Any More PM's Until You Clean Out Your PM Box!

Yep, it's a known bug. Should have it fixed soon.

You can change your local time in your profile. It probably changed during the conversion. Might want to go in and adjust it.

You can find it in your profile: My Settings -> Profile tab -> 3rd section once the tab is clicked (Profile Information), "Member Title"

I am pleased to announce the unveiling of our new redesign. It’s still the center of the bass fishing community, and BassResource.com is again setting trends by bringing you the ultimate research tool at your fingertips. This completely redesigned site brings in-depth information about bass fishing through exclusive articles, feature videos and a wealth of other original content. In addition, you can now interact with other members in new ways previously not possible. Before I go any further, let me set the record straight: NO, I haven’t sold the site nor are there any changes in ownership whatsoever. You’ll still see the same familiar faces running the shop that you’ve seen before. What you’re seeing is a long-overdue overhaul of the site. We hope you like it! Here’s a quick rundown of some of the new features you’ll find on the new site: More New Features! Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live, & Live ID Integration Our new site supports Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live, and Live ID authentication, meaning you can join by signing in with your Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live, or Live ID account. You can sync your Twitter profile background with your profile. What's more, status updates made by you can be posted to Twitter and/or Facebook - and your updates from those sites posted to your community profiles. New Status Updates You can update other users on what you’re doing right now. Updates appear in your profile, and in the new Status feed. Plus, status updates can now be replied to. You can sync your Twitter and/or Facebook profiles, and update your status in each directly from your profiles. Alternatively, updates on either site can automatically update your profile status here! Reputation You can rate posts up or down, earning the author of that post reputation points. Members can earn badges and titles for having a good reputation, encouraging high quality posts across the board. Topic Rating Topics can be rated one to five stars, so you can identify the topics that others rate highly - or poorly! Advanced Attachment Uploading The new forum features an advanced attachment uploader which allows you to select multiple files at once, then sit back and watch them upload, complete with progress bars. And for older browsers, there's the standard upload field to fall back on. Customize The Experience We’ve added many options to allow you to customize your experience, including hiding signatures and avatars, default filtering options for forums, display name editing, and extensive profile settings. New Comment and Share System Integrated Throughout BassResource.com Now you can do more than just read articles, read forum posts, or watch videos on BassResource.com. You can now add comments and rank the pages, as well as rank other comments with your Forum ID. So if you’re logged in here, you can comment throughout BassResource.com. We’ve also integrated Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and other popular sites throughout all of BassResource.com. So you can also easily share content via your favorite social sites. Topic Preview The first post and first unread post in a topic can now be read right from the topic listing, with the new inline topic preview feature. New Content Search New content posted since your last visit can be easily found via a handy link available on every page. Content shown can be everything you haven’t read before, or just that content posted since your last visit. Rich Text Editing You can compose your posts using Rich Text Editing much like in word processing software. You can use colors, choose fonts, add bulleted lists and more, for rich content creation. Or if you like traditional editing options, BBCodes are available with a simply click of the mouse. Multi-Quote Multi-quote lets you reply to several posts at once, by selecting those posts before hitting the Reply button. The posts can be from any topic in the community – the forum will remember which posts are being quoted. Personal Conversations Personal conversations allow you to send messages directly to other members, out of public view, in a topic format. Other members can be invited to existing conversations - or remove themselves, if they so desire. Friends & Ignored Users Members can add each other as mutual friends, enabling quick communication and being highlighted in each others' profile. And, for those situations where problems arise, you can choose to hide all content from particular users by adding them to your ignored list. Profile Customization You can customize your profile page by selecting a background color or background image, with tiling options. Alternatively, you can choose to automatically import your profile customizations from Twitter and/or Facebook - and keep them synced. Profile Comments You can leave comments on the profile pages of other members for all to see - naturally, moderators and the profile owner both have full control over content posted, or can disable comments completely if they prefer. Activity Overview The profile page shows an overview of everything that member has done in our community, including status updates, recent topics, posts, comments, and more. Mini Profile Popup Just about everywhere a member’s name appears, it can be clicked for a handy mini-profile popup. Send a PM, check reputation or find user content - without needing to leave the current page. Privacy Controls We now allow members to sign in anonymously, hiding them from the online users list. Members also have the option to disable personal conversations and member-to-member emails, as well as ignore other members if necessary. Powerful Search The new update includes a powerful search engine that enables you to find the content you’re looking for. The forums, member’s list, gallery, and calendar can be searched individually, with specialist filters and ordering options for each. There’s a myriad of options that will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Plus, there's a contextual search bar in the global header for quick searching. And it’s FAST! Content Subscriptions You can "watch" (i.e. subscribe to) interesting content you find in our community. The site collates all this content and emails it to you at regular intervals as an easy-to-digest overview - or displays it in you control panel, if you prefer. New Gallery! Yes, you can now upload your own pictures and videos just like Flickr, Photobucket, and Picassa! Publish your favorite photos online with one click. Create stunning online photo albums to share with friends and family, or public albums for the world to see. Get notified when your "Favorites" post new photos. The new BassResource.com Gallery feature makes it easy for you to organize and edit your digital photos and videos, then create online albums to share with friends, family & the world. Host all your images and videos for free, then share them by email or on social sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Easily search for videos and images with our new search tool. Make slideshows to share with friends. Plus, access your albums on your mobile phone using the mobile site. The BassResource.com Gallery offers: • Photo, video, and album sharing by email, IM, Facebook, Twitter, and mobile phone.

Your public photos will still be accessible to everyone. New Member’s Map! The member’s map provides the opportunity for members to get together for a friendly fishing trip. Simply find a member near you, and contact them via the forums. Talk to whomever you're going fishing with and come up with a plan for gas, food, and time on the water, etc. Other than that, all the rules should be decided between the individuals involved (such as how much gear the non-boater should bring, how to split costs, and other simple courtesies). Don't forget the camera and have fun! Features include: • Google Map Support • Auto Center & Zoom on Locations • Show friends only option • Friends have green markers • Scroll Zooming, zooms to your cursor position • Notification for when friends update their location It’s easy to claim your spot on the map, just enter your city and state (or your address for a more accurate marker) and that’s it! All arrangements for friendly trips are strictly between the two parties involved and should be handled thru PM's or off site completely. Please note: Making arrangements are your responsibility. BassResource.com cannot, and will not, mediate disputes or complaints New Calendar! We now have an online calendar for your use where you can place recurring events, personal reminders and special events only you can see, or share for the whole world to see. And by popular request, we now show member’s birthdays on the calendar too! New Sitewide Search! The old sitewide search system has been replaced by a fast, robust, and feature-rich search engine. You now can use advanced filters to easily find exactly what you need, right now, right at your fingertips. There’s many more features for you to discover on our newly designed site (such as a new video player). So dive in, click around, and enjoy!

That's a Firefox thing. But again, I believe the newly released IE9 has the same feature. I'm not sure - I haven't had the chance to download it yet.

No, it doesn't work now. But Firefox (and I believe IE9) have it built in.

That's just terrible, terrible news. My condolences go out to Larry and his family.

Yes, you'll be able recreate the folders and reorganize everything. It will just be that much easier if you do as much as you can now before the switchover. Trust me. During testing, I had as much as 16,000 PMs all lumped together into one inbox. What a mess!

Might want to read the sticky at the very top of the forums. That folder is going away very soon.

[movedhere] General Bass Fishing Forum [move by] Glenn.

Nope, sorry. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Well since he won't tell you guys, I will: Getfished is a dealer/rep for a line of tackle - already mentioned here - that proclaims UV qualities. So he has a vested interest in selling you the concept and baits. : That said, I'll give our buddy Mr. Bob Lusk a jingle and see if he'll chime in here.

Ok, now THAT'S funny! I'll bet anyone that it will soon show up as background music in a TV commercial. There's a lot of possibilities there. Hammer4 - lol! I was hoping somebody would get the reference. Just in case some of you young 'uns don't know what I'm talking about, take a gander: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skU-jBFzXl0 And yes...he's for real. For whatever reason, that dang song made the top charts years and years ago.

Make that the 29th - 31st.

Welcome home!
