I reckon its pretty good as it is Matt but just a couple of suggestions
A few more get togethers for beeries (I'll run the trivia comp)
A new section for the Dirty Rotton Covert Culvert Society
A more manly colour scheme...Black and White (for example)...with some fern leaves for decoration...
A categorised video collection?

Big thanks to yourself and midnight coder for your work in running the site

Im pretty happy with how the forum works. Would be good to have some catch up fishing days, even just for a bit of a spin on the harbour.

Although I am new to the site, I enjoy reading the yarnsand reports on the forums.
It would be good to see more contributions in the diy and how to sections.
There are a lot of keen fishos out there that could do with pointers and it would be good to have a place of reference.
Well done for a great site Matt!

cheers,
Emil

What about making it easier to upload multiple photos? The current upload setup is rather agricultural. I usually upload mine to a photo storage site and link to them but that is complicated for beginners. Photos really bring a forum to life.

If your really keen and for the really keen, what about a Facebook style Iphone app?

Cheers

Jason is on the money with this one Matt. I would love to be able to add photos under each section (like some do) of my reports. It helps explain things eaisier. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

A couple of guys have tried to explain how to do it but it just got too hard for this dumb s..t.

All comments taken on board, and I will make the picture thing a priority, even if it means just having a 'help' link on the New Post page showing how to do the photos with Photobucket.

I think all you have to do is upload your image into Photobucket or Picasa, then copy the link into your post with these tags [img]your%20Photobucket%20image%20link[/img] wherever you want the image to appear. Make sure the images are a useful size - 1200 pixels wide or tall is good.

The light-blue colour will stay, it's meant to have a calming effect on our rum and red wine drinkers, who see everything in black and white :mrgreen:
