Need some help here, I tried twice to enter my recent catch, and each time it says it was received but it does not show up on the thumbnails. Can I please get some tech assist? thanks, m

hmm, it evens shows up on the Angler stats (twice!), eventually I'll have to have one entry deleted. sorry. m

Mikie, it is very possible that the wrong year got entered on your submittle, I finaly figured out that is what I did.
Lambeau I sent you a couple messages regarding this, let me know what I need to do.

Thanks

P.S. Hopfully I'll have a few more fish to add after this weekend.

Thanks, I'll go back in and check it out. Slamr thought it might be a photo format issue so I'll have to see if the pic was in jpg or what. Appreciate the help, hope you win! m

Yep, there it is in 2006. Awesome, dude, now let me know how you get your date error fixed and I'll try to fix mine. I'm sure I checked over all the info on the form twice, dunno why it defaulted to '06? Maybe I should just try again to re-enter it? m

don't re-enter...yet.
Steve and Zach will take a look at it and try to move the data.
if they can't, we'll ask you to try re-entering.
my guess is that it's an issue with the program, as it's not likely so many people are accidently entering '06 instead of '07.
Mikie 4/28
Dewman 5/05
MRoberts 5/18
those are all '07 fish showing up as '06.
thanks!

Maybe it's taking the date it was entered as an '06 date. My fish was caught on the 15th and I entered on the 18th. So not only was the year wrong but also the date caught.

Just an FYI that may help figure out the problem.

Hey Steve or Lambeau. I just entered a fish, but I messed up. I have the size, date and all that correct, but the other stuff below that I don't know what was entered. I hit enter by accident and it processed I think.

To whom it may concern:

I'm sure that you're trying to fix the problem with the posting of 2007 entries. My entry also went to the 2006 list. 6/16/2007 - Irish Lake

Good luck on the remedy for this hiccup.

Thank you in advance,

Mike "MuskyTaleMike" Albright

Hey guys, I tracked the problem down and fixed the previous entries, so everything should be working smoothly once again. Enter those fish!

Help!

My picutres are too big! Trying to submit my son's first legal (a 48.38 x 22.5 sow!) but all the pictures are just over 1MB so it keeps kicking out because of that on the entry form link.

Is there any way to reduce the size? I tryed a zip file but I think that just makes it easier to e-mail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

all you have to do is open the picture using the Paint application and go to Image --> Stretch/Skew. Just play with the width/length ratios until the file size drops under 1 Mb

You can use any photo editing program and resize the image to 640X480 pixels. Or, send the image to me at [email protected] and I'll get it resized for you.

Is this contest still on? Is this the same as the weekly contest? If the Lax big fish contest is still on, can I enter a fish caught in late October? And, where do I do this? Email to the website?
