Hello -

Just a quick question for members of this website.

We are trying to improve the website and want new and fresh ideas.

What is something we could do here at MNO that you would like to see or make you come back more?

If you are a regular what is it that is working for you?

Please keep this on topic. Just looking for a brainstorm from our members!

Thanks!!!

I know we had or have a place to get information on posting pictures and or videos.  I can post pictures (not directly from camera or pc but through a host site like photo bucket).  I tried the direct post but it fails.  Also, I never was able to post a video.  Maybe it's just me not being able to follow instruction or just not being technically savy enough.

   I can walk you through that Deadeye.  Once you have put something in the message box.  (The box I am typing in write now)    You can click on the Attachmenents and other options right below this box that will allow you to choose a file (pic) to include in your post.  There are several reasons a pic will not go through.  It is too large of a file.  The easiest way to take care of this is use a program such as pixresiser(free download available) to shrink it to an acceptable size.  The second reason it might fail would be it is the wrong format.  Bitmat format will not go through.  When you click to add an attachment it will list the types of files that are allowed.  txt,doc, pdf, gif,mpg, and png.  Pixresiser will also convert your file to an acceptable file type if needed.  Posting video I have found youtube the way to go.  Set up a free account and upload your video.  You can then direcly put it on here by useing the you tube link that used to be just above the smileys.   :doah:   :censored:

 :oops1:  It appears to be gone.   :bonk:

What do you mean by posting a video?

I tried the pix post with data in the box but nothing happened.  Maybe it's because all my pix are jpeg?   

MNO,
I see videos posted here that basically have the start of the video with an > to start it.  I cannot seem to get that in a post.

jpeg works.    1. some message in box

                       2.click attachments and other options.   (drop down menu pops up)

                        3. skip down to where it says attach.  Click chose file.  Your computer picture files will appear in the upper left hand side of the screen.

                         4.  Double click on the file you want and it will show up in the box where right next to the choose file.

                          5.  if you want more than one pic(6 max/post).  Click the words more attachments that are right below chose file.    Again double click on your chosen file and it will show up in the box..

     The actual pic never shows up on your post.  Even if you review it.  It will only show up in the thread once you hit post.  I think that may be the thing throwing you off.    I'm sure you will get it this time.   :happy1:

  The youtube link is gone since the upgrade.  The only way I know to post a vid now is with a link.  You will have to click on the link to see the video.

   To do this go to the video and copy the address at the top.  It will be the line that starts http:   paste it into the message box like this.

I think the popularity of the site is directly correlated to an abundance or hatch of the Mayfly. In all earnest there would be no walleye without mayfly.

Wowwww! Sexy! Nice looking page! Maybe a little heavy on the deer hunting - although (I haven't looked around much yet.) I do have a comment on the logo however, a bit lighter green would be an improvement on the trees. The font changed - I think the old font was nicer but not too bad. Let me know if I can help.

Try the new mod "tinypic" added to the posts and pm's

It's pretty easy to use, and you don't need to be a member (of tinypic) to use it.  :happy1:

Here is a comment on the masthead. Consider a thinner crop (not as tall). There is really not all that much going on with the deer photo. I also think making the logo a bit bigger would solve some of that.

  Much bigger MNO with the light green trees would be nice.   :happy1:  Start the MNO where it is and bring almost to the deer.
