New Fly Tying Website

[joemathis]

Hi Everyone!

A new recipe site has launched! It's called Fly Recipes [dot] com (www.flyrecipes.com)

Yeah, it's my personal site and this is a shamless self promotion, but I'm not selling anything or otherwise trying to trick anyone. I just love fly tying and I think I've put together a pretty cool site starting out with over 800 recipes with another 1,250 cataloged and to be online by end of summer. I've built a filtering system using over 100 tags to help you find you pattern quickly.

Come look around, tie a fly, upload a fly, tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Joe

Ah, another fly PORN site to check out!

Sounds like a great idea. I know your site is probably still "under construction". None of the links worked for me.

Hi David,

I'm sorry your having trouble.

The recipe and forum sections of the site are fully functional. I have had a few folks since I've launched tell me they have had some trouble with the links. Generally the problem has been that they need to enable JavaScript within their browser (and then clear their cache) or their employeer is stopping JavaScript browser behavior in the internet access. I checked your entry to the site in the server log files and everyhing else looks good.

Please check these things and let me know how it works for you.

Thanks for visiting!

Joe;
Site worked alright for me. Keep up the good work. Are these your flies ?

[FishnDave]

How do I enable JavaScript?
Its true I'm accessing your site from work, so that may be the problem. I can see some of the recipes, and some links are working, so that's good.

Its another good resource for us fly-tyers!

My Java Script is enabled and current, but I still could not post a pattern. It wouldn't keep me signed in, and kept returning to the home page.

Also, the pages load reaaaaalllllyy slow.

i registered and that doesnt even work.

need more research on originators of patterns

[joemathis]

My mistake guys.

Overnight I tried to promote a utility that would make the URLS for each page "search engine friendly" and that screwed up both the registration and sign in capabilities of the site as well as the overall response speed.

My apologies, I have returned everything to the way it was working yesterday. You might do a quick clearing of your browser cache before you log in again.

@Normand - Regarding the originators. If you have something specific I would be glad to research it. It becomes a bit delicate unless someone is claiming themselves to be an originator. I ran into an issue last week where the person who submitted a couple flies had one originator and a user, like yourself, told me it was someone different. I contacted both of the originator's and neither one claimed to be the originator, just a couple guys how popularized the fly in their part of the country.

Thanks for visiting. Sorry again for your trouble.

Pages still load way too slow. I probably won't have the patience to use the site unless the loading speed improves.

Tried to view the site, again today. Took 4 minutes to load the home page, then I couldn't sign in, and none of the links work. I'm afraid the site is just too buggy for me. If you ever get these problems addressed, let me know, and I'll try it again.

Good Luck
