BFT is finally back up

[wiperhunter2]

That sure took longer than they said but it's good to be back. Now if we can just get use to the changes and I sure hope they can change all the things that seem wrong to me. I'm going to start a list here, if anyone notices other things, please add them here, also the things you like:
I like the no ads but
1. the boards are all backwards, first page is on the last page.
2 the main utah board is at the bottom of the utah pages, it should be at the top IMO.
3. My log in did not work, so I had to create a new password.
Many other things but that what I noticed first.

Wow that was brutal getting logged in the first time, but I finally made it without having to create a new account. It will be great to be back connected. Hope everyone else makes it back in.

I am pretty computer literate - but wow was that painful. I bet we lose people who just cant sort out how to get back. 
Anywho - CBP and company are back for better or worse

 I will add to the list

- photo size restrictions 500kb

- new password requires 12 letter/numbers/ (that is a lot for me to remember) - that is if you can figure out how to change it after you had to use the auto email for a new computer generated password. so far it wont accept any effort for me to change it to something I want

[gaardvark]

Did I misunderstand that private messages would be retained? I appear to have no PM history

[Lipnrip]

I can't share photos because of the file size restriction. I waited like the site asked and don't think its really cool what happened

Holy Cow was a pain getting in here. hope this change is better than it's starting out to be. 
Well any ways glad to be back.

[catchinon]

Wow! I finally got this far. Now how do I find the scoreboard for the ice contest?

[TheFishSlayer]

Seriously ?  Dude ... Tell me this is not the production model of the new digs ...

Really don't appreciate the first look -  check out these screen shots of what came up first and upon subsequent attempts to get here.  Is this what we can expect ?

Do tell me you got this ...









LONG TIME MEMBER WITH new login ID -

It's probably running off your search history.

Also you are upset about seeing it so you screen shot it and put it here so everyone that may have missed it sees it now?

Just messing around a little I found that you can sort by ascending or descending once you get into the page. Now I've got things all out of order but we'll figure it out. The page seems alot faster.

"Also you are upset about seeing it so you screen shot it and put it here so everyone that may have missed it sees it now?"

You are a quick study aren't you ?

And Thank you for reposting it with that quote option to make sure EVERYONE can tell that this seems to have become not FAMILY friendly.  IF you or anyone objects to my objection to this - they and you have a whole internet full of porn to go elsewhere and enjoy.  I have been coming to BFT for the better part of 20 years to enjoy fishing conversation.

Well that was fun, at least we can get our fishin fix

[Jig-fisher]

Wow what an ordeal just to get back in.  I am having trouble all over the site from logging in, to changing a password, seeing my old posts (can't see any).  Can't find the entries in the ice contest.  Does it have to do with the size of the pictures?  Not very user friendly at all.

Hi All- 

Yes, that took much longer than they anticipated!  There are definitely some things that need to be changed.  The programmers are addressing the Porn spam issue as we speak- Of course this will NOT be allowed and should never have appeared.  As mentioned by a member, this is and has always been intended to be a family friendly site.  I agree, this is all going to take some getting use to as Change is always hard.  My user name and password did not work either- they had intended to bring all that over but looks like it didn't happen as I see most of you had trouble logging in.  On their list will also be checking into the PMs , as that was supposed to stay intact as well.  They will be working to clean things up and make the necessary changes.. stay tuned.  

---

Alert!  There are porn sites listed at the bottom here. This site redo is a mess.

HI
Just wanted to let you know of course this is NOT allowed.  And I wanted to reassure you this is being addressed by the programmers as we speak.  This is and always has been intended to be a family friendly site.  
As for the redo being a mess... well .. I would say its a mess in progress..    Hope you and all the others will have patience as the necessary changes are made.  
Thanks for being a long time member.

glad it back up. gonna take me a while to figure it all out I think so please be gentle with me.

[DjHill16]

Finally able to login! But only on my phone I cant seem to get it to work on the computer

[fsh4fun05]

I had to reset my password in order to get into the forums. I could login to the main page but not the forums. Just gotta work out the kinks now.

[muirco]

Getting used to this....the reply button definitely doesn't do it the same as the old site.

[dubob]

Geeze, I'm smart!    I got my maroon back.

However, I guess my trademark signature line is gone for good.  I'll have to look into that over the weekend and put it back into my profile.

For inserting pictures, might I suggest using IMGUR and save them there as 640 X 480 (message boards)?
That way they will meet the size constraints here - like this this one does:



You're welcome!  

Learnin' new stuff is fun!
