Have an idea for the site or something you would like to see added? Let us know! While neither of us are particularly computer savvy we will do our best to keep everyone happy.

The goal when this site came online was to not moderate the heck out of peoples posts and opinions like some other sites out there. Avidfoxflyers is a place to share information, brag, shoot the breeze, and have fun! I'm here strictly to houseclean and keep things running smoothly.

Joey,

If you could move the "sign in" bar up closer to the "Log in" spot, then I wouldnt have to page-up between these two actions to get into site. Just a little nit-pick that happens now, and wasnt that way when I started.

Thanks,

ED in MO

Ed you should be able to check the little box that says keep me logged in. I haven't had to log into the site in the last year I am always logged on.

Ed, take a deep breath! :blink:

I'm running Firefox and am having no issues with the site like you are describing. I think you must have a virus or something going on corrupting your computer.

I am working on it. I cant figure out what happened. It is fine for me on firefox, but not on Internet Explorer on the work computers. I ahve tried from 4 differnt computers at work and I get the same issues Ed is having. Hang in there guys, I am working on it. I just sent a request in to the peeps at Invision and at Siteground to see who I gotta pay to get the damn place back running right. I am too stupid and busy tha tlast few days to really dig into it.

Hey Leni,

I'm new to your site, but wanted to thank you for setting it up. Lots of good information here!

I was wondering if you could add an "Avid Magnum" section. Not a whole lot of us out there, but it would be nice to find the others here.

Thanks,

Ron

Just another data point, but I get a Malware warning message and access to the site blocked in Chrome on my Mac. It seems to work fine on my iPad in Safari for the time being.

I have noticed a number of members have AK behind the names. I know your from the SoCal area. I am curious if there is a way to search the members page to check where people are flying their Avids and Kitfoxes. Just a curiosity. Looks like these are great inexpensive bush plane.

Norm, I think the guys that have AK in the names are here in AK (Alaska)

I will take a look at the controls on the member search and see if there is a way to narrow the search by location. Give me a few n I will get back to you.

As far a great bush planes?? Yes, we can get in and out short, but range is somewhat limited as well as the amount of gear we can carry. Most of my flights are around 100-150 miles from the home base, but that gets me pretty remote. Fuel burn and fuel capacity always leave me looking for places to go that I can get fuel and not have to pay 10 bucks a gallon for it. I can carry an extra 15 or so gallons with me if I am flying solo, but the new bride does not like me going out and playing without her :lol:

I just tried to do a member search with the "advanced filters" and put in the location but it showed up with 0 members when I put AK or Alaska in the location slot. I am not sure if I can do anything else to search for members in a general area.

One good way we could do it would be to start a thread to say a lil something about the area you live or fly in, then one could search that thread for any given location and it should show the posts that have that state, city or country in it. Now all we have to do is get all 540 something members to actually post and we would have a good data base to search :lol:

I knew AK was Alaska and that is what started my curiosity. Like you I tried a search using AK with similar result. I have noted that you, Leni, and SuberAvid seem to be AK and was wondering how many more. Just curious.

BTW Today is the first time in months that Firefox let me come to this site without a Hacker Warning. Does this mean things are good again. :siterocks:

We all have our fingers crossed that the site is going to stay OK now - There are 2 or 3 more than you mentioned in Alaska, and a few in Canada - the rest are scattered around the lower 48, I guess. One in Europe, or maybe 2 that I know of. At least one more in AB, and maybe more?

There are close to a dozen guys here on the forum from AK, but only about half that are regular posters. I will keep looking into it as time allows and see if there is a way to filter geographically.

As far as I know the site has been good to go for a couple months now. The service provider assures me that the site is clean, it just takes forever to get the big search engines, namely google, to do a review of the site to make sure its clean on their books.

As I an typing this on the company computer, I can assure you that it has to be clean or the company firewalls and all the big brother crap they have on these computers would block me if the site was malicious.

It would be nice to know who all we have in our areas; we might be able to get more local flyouts, BBQ's etc. It is cool that Joey can get so much activity with folks down in his area, even with a vast difference in airplanes. As far as AK members on the forum, I think I know of 5 besides myself so it would be nice if others would identify themselves and where they are located in the state(s)

Any chance to get the heading "Two Stokes"  corrected to "Two Strokes" or maybe "2 Strokes" to match "4 Strokes"?
