Wanderers group

[tugger]

Just testing this groups settings but can see content on the activity stream does anyone see my test

[aussie123]

I seen it earlier myself Mark and also see the test post.

Maybe we can see it because we are members.

Have to see if a non member can see the posts.

[tugger]

[Kiwi_pete]

[cobiakid]

[tugger]

oops the last post is my sons account i have been trying the settings in the groups private chat but can see it on my sons account I also can see it on his account when I go into my profile and the activity stream in the main forum on the side using his account not real private at the moment

[bootyinblue]

I'm a non member and I can see it in the activity stream.

Well you did ask :-)

[tugger]

mmmm well I wont be using that the way it is sorry Wanderers

[fishingnut]

Pm it mark painintheass but maybe that the only way to have fun these days?

[tugger]

Beau 60 plus members have come to wanderers socials it makes it hard to let everybody know since the latest problems if you have one place to post a event plus there is planning and discussion

[fishingnut]

Yeah I see mark maybe one of the nerds on the site have the answer, bugger sending 60 emails plus replies!

[kmcrosby78]

Actually if a safe, user-friendly way of doing this can't be achieved on AFO then doing things via email might be the way to go. Would mean getting everyones emails - which they could PM - but once a group email had been established it would be as easy as 'Replying All'. But I'm certainly no technology-savvy dude so there may be a better solution.

[daveylad]

'll have a play around Mark and ask my son tomorrow he works on these thingswill need to get eveyones email addresses to do it though so I'll get back to you when I've had a go.

[daveylad]

I'm using Outlook express and its pretty basic to set up a Distribution list, just need email addresses and name then add them on the list and when you send the message all persons on the list receive it. Have a look at yours and see if its got a Distribution List Menu on your contacts menu and let me know

[daveylad]

Tugger, Dhess and Azza if youre online check you personal email addresses

[daveylad]

looking around the site mark and the group can be set to members only and not public where all others can read and see messages if the members onli ticked this should prevent that happening, could one of the admin confirm this if this is the case, may have to set the group up again

[Shane69]

Hey Mark good on you for trying to still get new members from afo to come to to socials.

I personally wouldnt bother posting any details about the socials here. Its not worth it anymore. After all thats being going on lately you CANT TRUST anyone.

Get one of the wanderer boys to start up a invite only forum and once you know who is who invite them in and give them details to the socials, deckie spots etc.

Therel be nore than enough member on it in no time.

Thats what Angus suggest make your self like a boys club.

To me afos dead now mate. They dont want anything to do with offshore fishing.

Its all about bream and bass fishing now.

Mind if I ask who 'they' is Shane? I haven't been online much lately due to the weather and busy with work, so not sure what is going on with this?

Come on Shane ease up on the salt vs. fresh dribble. Pretty sure most people don't mind seeing any fishing report posted regardless of species, technique or location.

It's good to see reports from GT popping, offshore pelagics to skinny water Bass and monster Murray Cod, plus everything else in between. Just because one person has a particular preference doesn't mean everyone else needs to agree.

Cheers and beers

if so desperately unhappy, why is this guy still on the site?

[Do$tylz]

Yeah its a pretty big call to say the whole site doesn't wanna see offshore reports. I'm pretty sure any fishing is what this place is all about.

[Angus]

Such a random call... And completely unfounded.

The site loves offshore reports. However, lately the weather has been a bit average and I know some people have had trouble getting out. Add to that mix that fact that as a % less people can/want to go offshore, and then consider that yes, some people do like other types of fishing and the offshore ratio is not to bad all. Yes I would like to see more myself, but not having the expertise or equipment my trips are few a far between.

Information and action begets more information action on this site. The more people that contribute the more will follow suit.

This is pretty off topic though so leave the thread from now to tuggers original intention please. If you want to discuss offshore fishing... Create a thread.
