Hahah - sorry to hear that - it is a pretty funny story though...

Welcome aboard Josh - lots of great guys here. Make yourself at home

Best of luck with the tournament this year Penny! Always a great event.

Nice fish guys - like the video.

Going fishing is going to be like playing a video game at this rate. Can you imagine a United States vs. Canada tournament on the lake in the year 2100 where there are no actual boats on the water?

Old man - I got that same letter today. Will we still get a calendar just for being members or do you have to donate extra to get it now?

Thanks guys for headsup on this. I'll look into it and get bugs fixed Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks guys for the support - we just finished a couple more adjustments to the server. Should see an even bigger increase in page load speeds now. About 90% of the way done now with server optimization . Then I can start working on some of the bugs and feature requests I've received.

Update - server upgrade of PHP has been completed. We upgraded to help with faster code rendering (up to 58% faster). Will do some other adjustments tomorrow. Thanks for the patience everyone - Chad

Hi Scott - I got some work to do still on the mobile version. I would recommend downloading the LOU App for the time being - it's a much more consistent interface. The issue is that we went from a "mobile" site to a "responsive" site - and while this probably means nothing to you, it means I need some more time to get it refined. Please let me know of any issues you experience with it and I will continue to debug it as we go here. Thanks for the headsup on it.

Upgrade of LOU site Step 2 of 2. Hi guys/gals – We had a successful upgrade of the LOU site this past weekend to the new forum software. This now allows us to do a lot of different things with respect to the overall speed of the site that we couldn’t do before. Sometimes you need to crack the egg before you can make the omelet Over the next day or two here, I will be making some server adjustments that should help the overall site performance… during this time the site may be down temporarily. These server updates won't take nearly as long as the core software upgrade did (several minutes vs. several hours). I'm expecting these server adjustments to yield roughly a 55-70% increase in overall site speed (depending on which browser you use). In my own experience, I have found Google's Chrome browser to be the fastest hands down. Download here if you're interested: GOOGLE CHROME. Just wanted to give you a headsup on this. Thanks again for your patience and support! Chad

Hi Jim - I was able to get this working for you. You should now see a "Mark site read" link at both the header and footer (right side) of the site on all pages. Thanks - Chad

Hi Jim! Thanks for the kind words. Let me try and answer your questions: That is strange.... I have not seen this or been able to reproduce the issue. I'll need some time to look more into it. I should have fixed the permissions for this forum so you can reply - I was testing it after upgrade and never reverted it back, sorry about that! I'll look more into getting this for us. I know it can be done, I just need more sleep - haha. Thanks Jim - Chad

Hi guys - Quick update, we started the core software upgrade last night at around 9:00 PM and finished this morning around 5:30 AM... I lost count of the number of cups of coffee I needed to get me through that one haha Good news is that the upgrade went perfectly. This is a big step in the right direction for 2017. I am now going to start looking at some server refinements to help speed up the site load time but I think I am going to try and get a little bit of sleep here first if my kids let me (probably not though). Anyways, enjoy the site and thank you in advance for your patience on this one! - Chad

Happy New Year everyone! Just an FYI to let everyone know that we will be upgrading the site later tonight. See this post for more details: http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/62114-2017-upgrade-to-lou-notice/ Thanks! Chad

Wow - very nice
