Ok, I’m not entirely sure what is going on with this forum, but posts are disappearing and it seems like I have to log in to 2 different sites (HSO and FM). It nearly impossible to keep track of where I am or which half of the site I’m on. I have separate PM’s and separate posts lists. I first thought posts were being deleted then discovered they were there, but on the “other” site. Not sure what is going on, but could someone please address the issue, or at least update the community when everything is all tidy and back to one forum. Broken/split conversations don’t work well….or at least that is my opinion. FYI to others, if you are looking for posts, and you are using HSO, then you might have to try FM or vice versa to locate what you are looking for.

Good to know it was not just me. I thought this was on my end and I had no idea what was up.

Another thread was started about problems as well? Maybe some one who worked on the MNSURE site was hired on to do Maint work for HSO? laugh

Yes, I purposely started 2 threads so both sides are aware of what I think is going on.

I do not like the format of not having the latest post on a subject you are following. With the layout like I am getting, I can not tell what is new or old. Naybe I am missing some thing for telling if a post is new. At 76 Iam not that sharp, takes a while to catch on.

Actually its kind of funny. Right now there are 374 people on HSO viewing and posting on the ice forum there and 94 on the FM side doing the same thing but the posts and or replies are only applicable to the forum on which you are using. In other words I can be on FM and can start a post saying “hey you HSO guys are nothing but trolls” and unless they switch over they will never see it. grin

I never understood the need for the separate FM and HSO. Doesn't it just complicate things? Why not just one HSOforum, one url, one forum all with the same name?

Any idea of the thought process and advantages behind the separate names? As a marketing/brand/design person it just seems unnecessary.

So HSO and FM are now two different sites?

I have no idea?

If I tpye in fishingminnesota.com I go to the home page and I can go to the forum for there.

If I got to hotspotoutdoors.com I get taken directly to the forum page. Its looks the same as the FM forum I saw previously but the threads are all different.

I have no idea why there are even two names associated with the site. Maybe there is a good reason but it seems confusing to me. From a branding perspective it seems beneficial to have everyone know you by one name unless the two names/brands serve different customers.

Fishing Minnesota and HotSpotOutdoors have been split. It is a work in progress and will continue to be upgraded for some time.

Fishing Minnesota will be a smaller site and dedicated to Outdoor Minnesota Fishing and Hunting.

HSO will remain close to what it has always been.

Too many changes and not enough time to answer all of your questions. I'm sorry about that.

There will be a lot of very good things coming for each.

      2025 Mn bear....

      By smurfy · Posted

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
