  1. Hi Richard,

     

    Welcome on board ...

     

    I have to admit that this site was always setup with Target shooting in mind and mainly Olympic disciplines.

     

    You're right about getting clay on board but I'm not really for the going down the hunting route tbh - I believe there are plenty of other sites out there serving that purpose.

     

    Thanks

    Neil

  2. Hi,

     

    There is a simple Help system (button at the top right of the screen), and some hints in people's post (that you would need to search for).

     

    Underneath each person's post there should be +Quote and "Reply buttons. If you click on the the Quote button it will toggle between +Quote and -Quote.

     

    +Quote indicates that if you then click on "Reply you will be quoting that person's text. If the quote button is set to -Quote you obviously won't be quoting them.

     

     

    Cheers

    Neil

  3. Steve, Colin,

     

    All you have to do is ask

     

    Gents you have a login name and also a display name which the public see. Both can be changed if you want, or simply the display name.

     

    Colin, the reason you must have signed up with Coiln was that Colin had already gone to one of my club members ;)

    You could have <firstname><lastname>, or something else if you wish.

     

    Best PM me so I don't miss it ;)

  4. Guys,

     

    Thanks for all the suggestions and taken on board.

     

    As I'm sure you're aware that I run the forum when I can basically and have to leave it to 'self-police' as I simply do

    not have the time between work (still here at this time on a Fri night :() and training at a sufficient level to represent

    my country.

     

    The forum actually now has the ability for subscriptions for example. I've deliberately kept it away from a paid resource

    but Robert, going by your suggestion and playing on it a little ... maybe each club that wanted to a section could pay

    a nominal fee per year towards hosting.

     

    Being honest I would also probably need to look towards some junior admins (on top of the current moderators) to

    help with the accepting of new registrations etc.

     

    Steve, your point about the forum not looking active is a very valid point. The reason it is like this is to prevent unwanted

    attention so to speak. The last thing I want is critics who are not interested in our sport and cannot contribute or add any

    value.

     

    I actually visualise more than just a forum but the work to plan and set it up is what puts me off right now.

     

    Like the ideal of clothing etc - an online shop ;)

     

    Cheers folks, keep the ideas coming!

  5. Well guys and gals,

     

    It's been over 5.5 years now since starting the forum and it has grown slowly but steadily, however I still feel that it could

    grow exponentially with a little help from the current membership.

     

    If I can therefore ask those who do not mind, could you please help by raising awareness in your local clubs and counties

    to try and turn this into the target shooting forum on the Internet. It's already pretty high within Google's search results for

    certain keywords but can always benefit from more members. There are so many other things I would

    like to do with the site but at the moment, there are simply not enough hours in the day - one day though ;)

     

    Many thanks

     

    Neil

  6. A BIG thank you to the several of you whom have so generously donated towards the

    running of the forum over the past few weeks. You know who you are :D

     

    It is very much appreciated.

  7. Folks,

     

    Quite a few of you have been asking (in another thread) for me to bring back the donations button after the upgrade to the latest version of the forum software. I have done as you have requested and would just like to take this opportunity to thank each and

    every one of you who have donated.

     

    I do this for the good of our sport from my own pocket and do not expect any renumeration tbh but thank you for your contributions,

    they are much appreciated.

     

    All the best and keep enjoying the forum!

  8. Thanks guys, I've listened to what you have said ;)

     

    You can now find the Donate button on the home/index page near the top right.

     

    Many thanks for all your support.

     

     

    Neil

  9. :D

     

    Thanks Robert, it was removed when the 2.2.0 version came out. I need to find a few mins to look into it again. There is now a subscription module but as far as I can see that dictates how much the subs should be hence I haven't done anything with that

  10. Sorry if you noticed a slight 'glitch' in service tonight but I've just upgrade from 2.2.0 to 2.30. Again, mainly on the admin side are where the improvements lie but from your point of view the searching should be a little quicker now since I've reindexed the board.

     

    :D

    Rss

    It does, however the RSS feed will obviously only work on visible forums and since most of the shooting forums are hidden for non-members ...

  11. Sorry for not coming back on this one folks, been up to my eyes... you still having issues?

     

    If so, then please PM me with how many actual messages you have and also the figure it is showing.

     

    Many thanks

    Neil

  12. Sorry David,

     

    Just back from South Africa :)

     

    Most of us have the 1720 for travelling because the 1750 is just too big and even heavier.

    Looking at about £170ish for the case and then it depends on whether you want the hard specifically cut-foam like I got...

     

    Cheers

    Neil

  13. Hey Zasgar,

     

    Afraid I won't be there for a while - away to South Africa next week for a couple of weeks.

    Best thing would be to give me your friend's email address and I will pass it on to my friend and they can sort something out.

     

    PM me with the address.

     

    Thanks

    Neil
