Ideas - Give Us Your Thoughts

[JohnFitzgerald]

BackTrak Outdoors is your forum. Our primary mission is to educate elk hunters. So with that what does everone think of the following.

1) Thumbs up or down on the Round Table Discussion Forum? If you like it, what topics would you like debate? With the exception of personal attacks, anything goes!

2) Anyone interested in a daily elk hunting tip section? We can gather tips from many different resources and display one per day, every day.

3) How about a BackTrak Challenge for registered users? Series of 25 random questions that test your elk hunting knowledge. Questions will be generated by experienced hunters.

Lastly, useful link will be made available in our side bar section. If you have a general and useful link, please send it to <!-- e --><a href=\"mailto:John.Fitzgerald@backtrakoutdoors.com\">John.Fitzgerald@backtrakoutdoors.com</a><!-- e -->

To expound on John\'s post, if there is anything else that you think is needed, let us know

John: How about a Draw Odds link. Maybe something similar to what Monster Muleys used to have. It is a deal where you type in the state, animal, type of weapon, and what ever else. Then it gives you the odds of drawing a tag for a certain area you select.

Give me a call if you don\'t understand what I\'m talking about.

Not to hijack this post but I have to ask. John talks about a side bar. I have heard in other posts about the online store. I can\'t find it anywhere I look. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. :?

John I like all of them. The tips are always good to learn from. The challenge is a good learning tool. It would let someone know their strong points and week ones.Then they would know what questions to ask.

I can\'t see the side bar when viewing the forum with my iPhone but I can when using a laptop/desktop.

JF why would this be ?

Brad and John I can\'t see it on my laptop or tablet or my phone.

I like the suggestions. We have a long winter ahead, and I need something to keep me from just pestering people, especially my wife. She does not take pestering too well. :lol:

Nobody see\'s the Sponsor links or Sponsor Products?

 

[ORelksniper]

I have an iPhone and the sponsor links and sponsor products are visible on the individual forums with all the topics listed. The side bar goes away when a particular topic is accessed.

 

[cnelk]

Nothing on the right side for me using smart phone

 

[ORelksniper]

BTW, I like the suggestions. Winters are long and September is waaaay out there. Anything to keep the chatter going so I don\'t have to focus solely on work.

I got nothing for sponsor links at all. Only thing I see is the Backtrack outdoors header on top of the page. We have a laptop at work that I used to check in on before I got a smart phone and it did not have links either.

That\'s strange, cuz I see them on all my device. How about now?

 

[cnelk]

I see the revolving sponsor banners underneath BackTrakOutdoors

 

[F M]

John I can see the moving banner when not logged in, but when logged in only the Backtrack banner.

 

[F M]

I can see it now as long as I am not logged in and click on a link.

FM and Brad - let me look into it further.

WW - I like your idea. Maybe we could include a \"calculate best hunt\" button that weighs draw odds against harvest percentage and lists the top 10 units. Maybe?

Hahahaha, those won\'t stay top 10 for long then!

I could take bribes to skew the results! :shh: No not really!

Some forum templates are smart and auto reduce content depending on the screen size.

I was using the board style preference of Green Deluxe and the Ad banner was not there. When I switched to the prossilver, the Ad banner is displayed. This is on my laptop using Firefox web browser. My laptop display is about 15\".

If you do not log in, likely, the board style template is prosilver which is the default board style.
