Ifishers have any spare time?

[Jennie@ifish]

I am looking for ifish volunteers to do such things as help newer computer users post pictures, or learn how to post on the board.
I would like to form a sort of committee of people who I can randomly e mail letters that I receive, so I can delegate them out.
I want to be helpful to everyone, but I only go so far.

If you can help, please post here!
Thank you!
Jen

[Hogmaster]

Sure.

[Stz ll]

Count me in Jen.

Pete

[Uglygreen]

Sure, count me in.

Remember, on this committee, you should enforce the ifish rules, so if you don't agree with them, best probably not to be on this committee! :smile:

Things like telling them pictures should be small, and easily downloaded... They should be no more than 500 pixels wide, so that it doesn't make pages scroll...

Remind them that off color humor is often scrutinized and that we discourage pile ons on other people...

It's pretty easy, just try and encourage them to keep the "peas". :smile:

(Imagine Whirrled Peas!) I love that one!

Thanks for donating your time! I'm going to make up a page of Ifish Consultants and I'll put eveyone on the list that wants to be! Plus, I'll keep an e mail list of you guys, and simply forward you e mails that I get.

YEE HAW! This will be a great help to me!
THANK YOU!!!

Jen,

Let me know how I can help. I am available.

[skrimmy]

I'd be happy to help too Jen.

[Sturgeon Tom]

You have mail

[Bobby Ray]

I'll help out, e-mail me with the details.

BnB

[Uglygreen]

Wait... please explain further... I wouldn't mind helpin newbies post pictures and stuff like that, but I don't want to be some sort of "junior moderator" or somehow be responsible for keeping others from being irresponsible.

More details on what your looking for please.

UG

[Unskunked]

I'm willing to help, but kind of agree w/ UG's last post.

[Bankbound]

That would imply that I ACTUALLY know how to do these things!! LOL! Maybe I can be the first taught how to post pics????

MH

[justdave]

I'm kinda new, but I can help.
Just Dave

I'll help :grin:

[Mtn Man]

Sign me up. I'm pretty wel versed in Computer graphics and pictures...I did it for a living for quite a few years.
I'll help out with whatever you want.

MM

[TheRogue]

Please include me on the list. I do web work at home and in the office, lots of training. Deal with graphics, etc., a lot.

TR

[Lured In]

Me too please! :grin:

I have lots o' time and would love to help in any way I can.

Lemme' know.

[Jennie@ifish]

OK... what do we call these ifish helping people?

We need a catch name... Well, we don't need one, but you know me!

Jen

[Hogmaster]

The "Fishin' Mission" - Ooops, guess not! :shocked:
The Good, The Bad and the UG :grin:
ifish schoolers!
We're not from the IRS, but we're here to help!
Junior Jennies!

[Uglygreen]

Doesn't the infopop UBB have an "expert angler" function? Is that what your looking for?

Should there be some minimum (Ifish related) expierence requirement? I know that I didn't know how to do a lot of stuff after 50 posts or even 100. I certainly didn't understand the "unwritten" rules of conduct for quite a while. By that I mean sponser status rules, not piling on to morons (one of my least favorite and most broken rules). Proper use of sarcasam - Stuff like that.

How bout

"the broken nets"

"those who have seen the elk"

"the black helicopter club"?

:grin:

Gary I love you to [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

UG

[Hogmaster]

That's "too", and I really like that one. :grin:

But the one I really like is the "Junior Jennies"

Kinda like, "Ask Jeeves". "Hi, I'm Gary, your Junior Jennie. Let's go through that picture post routine again. By the way, do you really want to post that pic of UG reeling up that 14 pound brown trout at Sellwood?"

Hi Jennie,
I'd be glad to help anywhere I can.

[The Fishing Geek]

I've already helped. :grin:

[SafetyChain]

Gary, way "too" funny [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

maybe you should donate an IVR to the group, self-help kinda thing,

[crabbait]

Set the hook, Jennie, ya caught the whole school!

PS: The word is "basick"..... :grin:

[Jennie@ifish]

Geek, I love your tutorial! I missed that one!

What about a new forum, for The Good The Bad and The UG, where it is just a help forum?

Tutorials, etc?
Jen

[Miss B Haven]

I'd like to help but I'm concerned about getting emails. What if I'm gone fishing for say....oh 2 or 3 years? :grin: Help might be a long time a comin'. :shocked:

I like the idea of a help forum then we can all chip in and help at any time. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

[brshooter]

I can help Jennie. Not working yet so I have plenty of time.

[Point-of-Sale Clerk]

I have some time to spare, count me in.
As expressed earlier I would not be interested in “junior moderator” responsibilities but would be happy to help with people’s computer or posting problems.

You should call it the “Ifish Technical Committee” or “I-TiC” :grin:

[Mtn Man]

I like the idea of a seperate forum for help.
Maybe something like Jennie's Cyberfish School or Ifish Cyber Consultants. Yes ma'am were from the ICC........

Can you have posts that always stay at the top of the board? If so we could create some with tutorials/faq's that would always be easy to find.

MM

[Jennie@ifish]

OK, here is the first delegated job. First person who says, "I"ll do it" does it!

Can someone make a list of people, with number of posts, so I can sort by experience, and their e mail addresses?

These e mails WILL be on an ifish web page, so it may get spammed. I'll try to do it another way.... Let me think.. OK.

Anyway, I'd love it if you would do this! Someone?

Also, I am about 5 projects behind, so be patient! I have to put up the next guide contest... Win a trip with Kelley Short, and do some other little changes for some people.

See ya!
J

[Point-of-Sale Clerk]

Everyone or just those that volunteered on this thread?

[Jennie@ifish]

...and although the Jennie references are cute, and I'm flattered, let's have the name, if we have one, be more ifish oriented... :smile:
I like ***' idea

I believe there is some value in experience on ifish, particularly in understanding the unwritten rules and protocol. That said, while I'm fairly new here, I am fairly computer literate - and there are a lot of others much better than I at this stuff.

[KingFisher85]

over 1000 post and I still don't know how to post pictures.

If I knew how, I would be more then happy to help. But till I find out how to post them, I'll be e-mailing you guys to help post my pictures :grin:

"piling on to morons?" Who might they be UG?

Will always help when possible.

Just follow the destructions.

[skein]

I like what Geek did (naturally I would, we're related). He saw a problem and found a solution and then wrote up some instructions that a novice could follow. Since what works for one person may not work for another, why don't some of us who have offered help just follow Geek's lead and come up with a "solution" to one of the problems we see time and time again.

We can look 'em over, tune 'em up a bit, and make them available. And those of us who want to help out a little more actively can get on a list that's easily accessible for novices.

Uh....something like that anyway.

Skein

[Angler of Repose]

I'll help if you teach me!

[SteelieSteve]

Shane is more than qualified. as a past Mod he has more know how than most. It doesn't show in his number of posts due to name changes. I'd help but am to dumb to figure out how to post a pic. :grin:

[Jennie@ifish]

OK, I've signed UG up for moderator duty. If ANYONE breaks a rule, then UG is responsible, OK? :smile: :smile: :smile:

I love it! Thanks, UG!

In all seriousness, no, you don't have to be ifish police! I just need some help, because I get lots of , "How Do I" letters...

You know, what would really help, is to have me, or others write tutorials or trouble shooting letters we could just copy and paste and send out.

I need to keep track... Most people have questions like, "I can't figure out the upload" or... "I lost my password", and don't realize that there is a lost password function.
Lessee... what else? Oh... How do you post, how do you use avatars, stuff like that. Pretty basice.

We should get together a more specific FAQ for ifishers. It's my next project... Until then, I'll collect these e mails, and start sending you guys some sample e mails. :smile:

UG, you are in big trouble now! :smile: I can't wait to yell at you when someone breaks a rule!

Why is it no one likes to be a moderator? It's really not that bad, really it isn't.

Anyway, much thanks, and if anyone wants to write a little "how to" on anything, please do!!!

Jen

[skein]

Jen,

Please let me help as well. I'd be glad to work on a set of FAQ pages and emails as well as answer questions regarding "how-to's."

I'm glad you're finally asking for some help. Ifish ought to be fun for you, too.

Skein

[snowball]

let me know how i can assist....
im computer literate-work in the industry as an admin for systems and software

[fishisabonus]

Don't beat yourself up KF85, it is the software that has the problem.

I would help, but looks like you have a bunch of volunteers already.

Your group could be called "The Buoys" you help keep Jennie and ifish afloat!
