I have got the same scroll bar issue.
I'm using Mozilla Firefox and my main monitor is 24.5 inches and I'm running it at 1280 by 1024 (aspect ratio of 5.4:1).

Bob wanted to acknowledge those who made donations to the forum. I believe he'll be addressing the forum regarding this as soon as his schedule allows.
Sorry for any confusion it created...

Bob; A: No Fee B: Hard copy - definately C: I would not read an e-copy D/E/EE/F: Against any fee's for the forum; believe it would cut participation dramatically
If we're looking for financial gain from the forumn, maybe go with a classified section and charge a fee for that. Ot have an advertisers section and put a fee on them, but I whole heartedy think we should leave the forum open to the general public for free. I'd rather see my dues go up a buck or two......
Thanks for the opportunity;

This forum should always be free. I belong to several others who pay for the forum by advertising, memberships to a club, etc. This should be no different. Keep the magazine subscriptions separate.

I found Pond Boss through a google search online. I immediately requested the magazine, coffee Mug, hat, and one of the books as a Fathers Day gift. My Daughter has now renewed my subscription three times. I really enjoy my time on this forum and have gained loads of info and assistance. I would hate to see the forum go to a "pay site" and think this would definitely kill it. I thought subscribing was helping to offset the costs?
If not, then I would be willing to help out where I can. This could be in the form of a subscription increase or something like that.
As for the magazine, I would still like to receive that in hard copy.
Thanks

Rattletrap2, good points. The actual magazine subscriptions don't go too far in helping cover costs of the forum.
When we all consider what we've gained from this forum in information regarding our ponds, and the friendships that we've built, the value goes so, so far beyond the $35.00 or so for the magazine.
If you can spare a few bucks, use the "DONATE" tab in the upper right hand corner.

I'm not sure this is the correct topic for this comment, but I would like to see the pond size/s added the each members profile. That way anyone responding to their question can have a little more background information and not have to each new reader ask for the pond size or location.

I agree with those who are against paying for the use of the forums.
That is a slippery slope.
I've seen in the past where "successful" forums start charging money, then the "family" splits, someone just starts another free forum, and now there are two groups of ppl that used to be one.

While I don't want to speak for Lusk, I think they are past charging money for the extensive forum priveledges at this time.

Can you make the magazine monthly, and charge a LITTLE more. Maybe do some specialty bi-monthly issue that are season realated for an extra charge..
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Publishing the magazine monthly is very expensive and circulation is not large enough to warrent monthly publication. Also the editor is too busy with other things to put together monthly issues. Readers will have to survive on bi-monthly issues and hopefully each issue will have enough good info to carry readers over for two months. Use the PB Forum more if you need regular "fixes" of Pond Boss info. There is a tremendous amount of information in the old forum posts - read through them.

Make posting pictures here more user-friendly. The picture here is worth a thousand words. Talk about low skinny on search engines and marketing of the site, which is his story.
