Dave G. 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Any idea why the rod building forum site won't let me register for an account? No except user names from here won't work there, or mine didn't anyway. I had to alter mine slightly to join over there. But it may have been someone else had my name too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 A while ago we had a HUGE problem with spammers joining and posting all sorts of spam. I was having to ban/delete at least 40 accounts each and every day so we decided to shut off the registration for awhile till the spammers gave up. Not sure if Will has turned it back on yet or not. Shoot a message to Will (Smalliehunter) and he can tell you for sure if that may be the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bish0p 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I tried to send a message to SmallieHunter to join the rod building forum, but when I clicked send an error appeared that stated he was not accepting any messages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skeet3t 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 Look forward to seeing you on the RBF. Just remember, rodbuilding can be addictive for which there is no cure. Don't be afraid to ask questions- that is how we learn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 If anyone registers let me know please. Someone said they are still having issues so want to see if it is doing that for everyone still or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2016 I just tried to register twice and got a message both times saying there was a problem connecting with the database. I created a new username, assuming it wouldn't let me use the same one I use here, but I also had to create a new Gmail account to even attempt to register--it said my current email address was already in use--I assume it was referring to the fact that I'm registered to FTF with that email address.

bish0p 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2016 I tried to register 3 times, and got the following error message: "There appears to be an error with the database." Hitting the link to refresh the page doesn't work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bish0p 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2016 On a whim I tried to register on the rodbuilding forum. The site let me register without throwing errors. Thanks to the mod(s) for fixing the problem. I tried registering on the forum every couple of days to no avail. It finally worked for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam, there is a guy at youtube who put up a multi part video on building a fly rod. Before you dive into your first build something like that might worth a look see. I think this will get you there: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=series+on+fly+rod+building+video&qpvt=series+on+flyrod+building+video&FORM=VDRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
