i was just browsing around and noticed under FORUM RULES AND REGS that every topic i click on it tells me I’m not authorized. is there something wrong with my membership or the website.

hey ed,
dont worry too much about that.

we dont need no stinking rules!!

the rule are simple.
1. say what you want with respect to who might read it.

2. respect what someone might have to say in return.

3. dont take things personal. no one is going to bash anyone on this forum.

4. leave politics and religion out of the general posts and all will be well.

we are just a bunch of guys and gals that like the outdoors and want to share with others the experinces we have.
post often and enjoy. when trolls appear, and i have not seen any on here, just ignore them and they go away.

have fun and post!!!!

Been a long (ongoing) battle to access the rules. I was told it was being looked into. Only been a few months, may happen someday.

We are working to roll out a whole new web design in the next coming months.  Should have everything up and running smoothly then.

Big bird you seem in the know of how things work thanks for your help one more question in regard to member rank why is it that some are newbies like my self but others that joined after i did have a Jr rank. i see why you have a Sr rank with your ripe age of 104 i swear you don’t look a day over 70(is that ok to say)lol

Guys,

We think we solved one of the issues related to the rules access and you can see where our new IT pro has posted them on the site.  We are going to restore the section within the forum and hope to have this resolved soon also. 

I know it might feel like some of this takes a long time but we truly are working on a bunch of stuff behind the scenes and we are about a month away from our relaunch. 

Thanks for your patience,
