    Default Just to REstate a GRIPE!

    The "Fish Ins" forum location and separate sub whatever is a STUPID idea. (PERIOD) . I would love to see a show of hands and an explanation of the LOGIC behind it's placement herein. By itself it can be a VERY interesting forum that should not be HIDDEN . New posts should be posted as in all other forums on the main page easily accessible to anyone interested. I would be willing to wager that a change in placement/format would increase participation in the various FIs or at least readership of the forum.

    I said this years ago but it did no good! I bet that the majority of the members even know what a "Fish-In" is!

    Fish-Ins are the greatest things ever!! A chance to see everyone you've met on FAOL. See some of the prettiest areas of the US. Eat incredible local foods. Fish till you literally drop!! Certainly do wish more information was available on them, out in the open for everyone to see.
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    I agree. Why hide them?

    I'm with Tig. What's hidden about FIs. It's as plain as day if you are at all interested. Click on it and there is the information. The problem is that interest is decreasing or so it seem. Kboom could not be more specific about the 2017 MI FI.

    John,
    "The problem is that interest is decreasing................." And I would wonder WHY? Perhaps if it were more "in your face" , interest in the FIs would increase.. Many of us search and read new replies to all forum topics out of interest and curiosity without having to click on sub categories. If the post topic on the main board stated "Michigan Fish In " for example, it would pique the curiosity/interest of a whole lot more readers. If I saw a post "PA Fish In 2017", even if I wasn't there or intended to attend in the future, I would open and read the post as I'm sure many others would also rather than clicking on Fish Ins and then a sub category.
    I cannot make my point any clearer. CURIOSITY rather/more than specific interest drives readership.
    In any case, thanks for the comments either pro or con.

    Wading into this, with hopes of not slipping on a rock.

    I do believe the "problem" with the Fish-In posting is that you can not just create a new thread. On almost all of the other forums you can simply click on "Post A New Thread" and away you go.

    But, for the Fish-In forum, for some reason you actually have to submit a proposal for a new thread : "If you have organized a Fish-In in your area and would like both a forum, and an article space for it on the web site please let us know."

    So, you can't just post about a new Fish-IN, it has to be submitted and someone has to accept your proposal and create a new thread for postings.

    Now, once that is done, then people can post new treads about that particular Fish-In.

    So, if someone wanted to propose a new Fish-In, say at Devils Lake in North Dakota (the place just came to mind, I have never been there ) then they would have to ask for a new thread to be created.

    I do believe that is the 'problem' with the Fish-In forum.
