Welcome To New Look Fishraider And New Sponsors


Recommended Posts

Well here it is as promised. Our webmaster and admin have been working very hard over the last few months to bring you the new look fishraider. It is a nicely spruced up forum with some fresh ideas and new additions.

Fishraider is approaching 10,000 member status - membership has exploded. We have a repository of almost 1/4 of a million posts with fantastic information and shared experiences. It was time to give fishraider an overhaul to manage the massive information collection and member activity.

We have the pleasure of welcoming 3 new sponsors to our fishraider family.

REEF MAGIC FISHING CHARTERS and Captain Mike Clarkson, XTREME MOBILE MARINE and Ash McCann and SOUTHERN SYDNEY FISHING TOURS and Scotty Lyons. Please look at Word From Our Sponsors section or click on their rotating banners to go directly to their websites.

Some of the newer features on our new board include:

  • high resolution image upload
  • auto image resizer
  • RSS feeds to all formats
  • iphone, ipod, ipad, windows mobile, blackberry compatible viewing on all these devices without having to change the viewing mode (straight to lo-fi)
  • FishTube - contact admin or webmaster for your content to be added
  • flash image upload (multiple images at once)
  • flash image viewer - scroll through all images in posts one after the other as a slideshow
  • members gallery upgrade
  • more control over your profile settings and functions
  • faster and more secure
  • total upgrade of platform with more features and functions than you can poke a fishing rod at

There is also a new forum area called Adopt A Learner - this is where you can take a member out fishing and teach them some new techniques. You will find this area above Desperate and Boatless.

To get the best experience it is recommended that members upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or above and the most current version of Flash Player.

There will no doubt be teething issues and questions about site navigation by members. Please post any questions or issues into the new added section 2010 Upgrade Support found under Forum Tutorial. We ask all members to please assist where possible here. If you know the answer to a person's question please assist by adding an answer.

A very big thank you to everyone involved with this project. It has been a team effort with our fantastic webmaster, admin, mods and the testers that helped us.

Now it is ON WITH BUSINESS - start off by adjusting your profile and your settings, add your pics and avatar and enjoy your new fishraider forum

Donna, Stewy, Grant and the moderating team
