Why can't i sign on and post at the fm part of this forum

[tacklejunkie]

I can sign on to HSO, but when I sign on to FM, it asks for my email confirmation, were it tells me to confrim my sign on, but it doesn't go to my email to confirm

I'm having the exact same problem.  Emailed them a couple of weeks ago, no response yet.

I see some posts on FM lamenting that traffic is down there but we cant post there if we can't sign in

[96trigger]

I've used different devices and changed email addresses twice thinking that it was a filter, but I still get nothing. 

[Rick]

Message me your email address please.

It's likely happening because your email on record is bouncing.

[tacklejunkie]

Message sent. Thanks, Rick

[Rick]

tacklejunkie,I approved your email address change. A confirmation email was sent and you did not confirm. If anyone else has the issue  be sure to check your email filters and have the confirmation email sent again.

We always respond to messages we see.

[Cheers]

I cant make it work either

cheers

[tacklejunkie]

I didn't see the confirmation in my email. I'll try again

In the last week I can't bring up the FM forum at all? It just spools then stops and never opens.

the box to the left of the box that says subscribe has a message in it but the bottom half is cut off and I cant read what it says ! I tried my email address in the box but got nowhere

So, what is this?  We need to re-register for FM?   Or is it something else.  I click on FM and get the home page.  Click on forums get the home page.      The button to log in is gone.  Does no one test this stuff before it goes live?  It looks like the page at fishingminnesota/forums is the home page so there is just a page pointing at itself so far as forums go.   Shouldn't the home page be fishingminnesota.com and the page at /forums the one with links to each of the forums?  

Why not just roll back whatever changes were made until the problem can be solved?  

Note, This will get you to the fishing reports sub forum.

only thing we can advise right now is to clear your cache in your browser. I believe @Rick is trying to resolve the redirect issue

I know its frustrating hopefully Rick will chime in with an update

I looked at the source for the page.  Fishingminnesota.com/forums is that home page looking thing.   The button/link to forums points to fishingminnesota.com/forums.  So unless you guys changed something in the last hour or so, clearing a cache isn't going to do it.

its intermittent and works fine on some devices and doesn't work at all on others. I can get to FM on my iphone but not on my laptop using Chrome or via iPad

[Cheers]

wont worf on my ipad or laptop- firefox

[delcecchi]

Still does exactly the same thing even using edge browser, which I almost never use.   go to fishingminnesota.com.   Get a home page.   Click on "forums" button.  Get same page.  rinse and repeat.

[leech~~]

Yep same here.

[delcecchi]

Seems to be fixed, as of now.  Just checked.  Hit the fm button, got the listings, browsed a forum, hit home.  Oops. 

Just don't hit the home button while browsing or you will be back to the home page trap. 

Just tried again and it is back to being broken.   Very strange.

Another experiment.  Brought up HSO on chrome.   Clicked the FM link.  Forum list page showed up.   

http://fishingminnesota.com/forums/   is the link.   

Browsed a forum

Clicked on "home" up near the top 

went to the home page thing with the pheasant.  

Now won't go back to forum list page, even using the history button on chrome.   

The page with the pheasant also comes up at http://fishingminnesota.com/

If I click on one of the posts listed on the right side I go there, but the link to the levels above is grayed out.

The whole split with FM/HSO has to be one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. Taking something that was awesome and make it more difficult and less user friendly. Trouble logging in, finding posts, remembering which page you made a post, and even just trying to get to the page from a bookmark. Unbelievable! I used to be a daily poster and viewer of FM - had to create a new screenname because of log in issues. Now I rarely ever even come to the page because of how difficult it has become and obviously the decrease in traffic has further compounded the issue. It is really sad because this used to be such a great site!

I'm still not having luck, on any device, any browser, and I have changed email addresses and checked the spam.  Yes, this used to be a great site, I think this has really hurt it. Not blaming anyone, sometimes changes have to made to web formats, but it is a shame.  I used to get a ton of great info on here.

Is it working ok now?

I couldn't duplicate the issue so it was very hit or miss. Hopefully the issue is resolved.
