Locked Forums

[Gomphus]

I jsut noticed in the recent changes to the web that a number of forums are locked. Is there a reason for this or are we able to gain access to these forums somehow?

Thanks.

There are some forums that now have a post count! They require 20 posts to be able to access them. There is some information that some people don't care to share with lurkers who are not interested in participating in our fly fishing community! There is nothing private about them, anyone can view them if they have accumulated 20 or more posts!!

That is a cool idea Rick.

Thanks for the info. I understand the reason, but it makes it tough for those of us that are naturally quiet. :-)

Almost there!
How bout a pic of your boat or a comment on a gallery picture.
That's all it takes.

Thanks for understanding though.
Some members feel, myself included, that if I share information, I want to know it is with people who I feel will use it with a bit of discretion.
Many of us put a lot into this site, and is only because we want to, but we would like a little back as well.
All we get out of this is a warm and fuzzy feeling when we help someone.

Has anyone been having issues with this? People not being able to view the forums that have the right post count?

All is good from my side.

I've "passed go" but still have the forums locked. Is 20 the magic number or is it higher?

Your Mission if you choose to except it is............

I have contacted Rick and I am sure he will be looking into this for you shortly.
Sorry for the hassle.

Or something like that.
