A WalleyeFIRST site upgrade will launch later today. This upgrade will provide easier navigation and incorporate extended features OutdoorsFIRST will be rolling out later this month, such as video upload (code named "YouTube for Rednecks" or "YouseTube"). It will also tie in other OutdoorsFIRST sites we will be launching in the near future; BassFIRST (yes it's official) and WhitetailFIRST. We hope you enjoy the additional features and new content.

The new site will also incorporate several new sponsors, including HaberVision and Aqua View, and will announce a new Walleye Tournament contingency program.

If you find any bugs or other issues after the upgrade, please post them here as a reply to this message or send email to [email protected].

You probably have your resolution set lower that 1024x768. If you are at 800x600 then you will want to go to 1024x768

Right click on your desktop > select properties > select settings > move screen resolution slider to 1024x768 or higher

This will improve your outlook on the entire web, not just this site.

AOL Browser users may have some stylesheet caching issues for a day, making everything look very jumbled. If possible do not use the AOL browser if you use AOL, it is criminal what that browser does to web pages.

Recommended browser is any standards compliant browser, including IE7 or Firefox (preferred)

Here is the best explanation I have found of why you want a standards compliant browser

My suggestion was to call it BassAckwards.com

Can't wait for WhitetailFirst to be up and running.

Looks good. It seems a little slow to respond though. Anyone else noticing this or is it on my end?

IF you are using IE6 sp1 or IE 7 it may be a just a little slower, due to some things we do to upgrade/enhance that browser's DOM. Also, IE is a little slower out of the chute than FireFox to begin with.

Steve and Zach,
Every time I try to listen to audio or video files, they'll start to play, but then knock out my internet connection and then the DSL service. I have to reboot FireFox and wait awhile to reconnect. I have a Mac and it also does it with the Safari browser. I've PM'ed Steve, but have had no reply so thought maybe one of you or some of the posters would have some suggestions. I like your broadcasts and have missed listening to them. Thanks.

I have Mac Safari 1.3.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.11 for mac and they play perfectly.

I do have problems with the FLWLive flash application on my Mac, but the simple video and audio applications play great.

I can't think of anything that would cause the problems you are having, but will keep trying to think of something.

I've been checking out a few things this afternoon. Video, audio no problem; I like the 'podcast' center. The pages in general are slow to load as others mentioned.

Zach, everything is fine until I open up a specific topic on a forum. Then everything is shifted to the left and I cannot see the left 1/3 of the page. What gives?

Horshack,

What is your browser and version and OS? What is your screen resolution? Could you send me a screen shot?

Thanks,

Zach

Zach I am running IE 6 I believe and my screen res is 800 x 600. Everything works fine until I open a specific thread. If you have a fix, send it to [email protected] which is my home email. Which email address should I send the screen shot to? It appears that the advertisements on the right side of the page have something to do with it. Thanks

If you are at 800 x 600 then you will have that problem, the only solution being to increase your screen resolution to 1024x768 (see tutorial above). An overwhelming majority of the sites out there require 1024 as a minimum horizontal resolution.

Send the screen shot to [email protected].
