Doc Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah I know this is probably not the right place for this message, but I figured it might be a good place to find someone in the know. Is there anyone else who is unable to access the Empire hunting forum? Anyone know what is going on there? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Archer 01 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I was just reading on AT today a thread saying that it has been down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yeah, it's down alright. It is beginning to look like it has been purposefully shut down permanently. I can't imagine any technical problem that would take this long to straighten out. It's too bad because it was a great site that dealt with local state issues, and I often felt that the DEC and other official groups were monitoring that site and kind of "taking the pulse" of the state's hunters.

If anyone wants to help or has suggestions please let me know. Thanks! - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I am looking forward to successful registration, but so far I have been stopped at the "verification" part of the registration. It requests that the letters shown in the picture be typed into the box, but there is no picture shown. Is everything up and functional yet or are you still working out some bugs? They also ask, "What is the best forum software available?:" and I don't really know what to put in there either. The top part of the registration form seems pretty straight forward, but poking the registration button without filling out something in that verification part is not doing anything. HELP!!!!!!!

burmjohn Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Hey Doc, Yeah, still working out the bugs I'll disable that now, please let me know if it works OK. Edited June 2, 2010 by burmjohn fixed typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 No it still won't accept the registration. The registration button blinks when you click on it but nothing happens. I'll try again tommorrow. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Doc, Did you fill in the anti-spam question? That's prob the issue. I removed it for now in case that's causing the issue. Just PM if me if you still have a problem. Thanks, Edited June 2, 2010 by burmjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 OK .......... All better. It accepted my registration this time. Apparently there are two different registration pages depending on what path you take. I can only assume that I am getting half-blind and didn't see the register link at the end and went to the "HELP" page. There they have a "Getting Started" heading followed immediately by a "Registering" pulldown with one of the selections being "the Registration Screen". That's not a good way to go because that link goes to a registration page that looks quite legitimate but is not the same as the REAL registration page........ and apparently that one doesn't work. Anyway, I went back this morning and followed the links that most normal people would follow, and had no problems. Now I am simply waiting for e-mail acceptance/verification. Thanks for all your efforts to fix MY problem. I think everything is under control now. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Doc, I'm glad your setup now. The help docs aren't that good, i'll have to revise them once I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 One last message on this subject: Any New Yorkers that are interested in hunting discussions that are related to local (state) issues might want to check this forum out. It is absolutely in it's infancy and is suffering from way too few members, but if people start joining and participating, we will have one heck of a focused forum there with info and content that is relative to our own state. For those that were members of the old Empire forum, the format and content is nearly identical. Let's see if we can get a bunch of New Yorkers signed up and active.
