Chapter forums....

I've had a few pm's in regards to the availability of local chapter forums of TKF. Let me clear up a few of these...

TKF has 15 local chapter scattered around the Great State of Texas and beyond. These forums, although "hidden" from normal traffic are available to anyone who has an interest in joining in with other "local" anglers to plan meetings, trips, get-togethers, and other "local" business. You can pull down the list of chapters by clicking on the "Chapters" button in the lighter menu bar above each forum page. When you click on that list, you should be able to find a local chapter very close to you. The advantage to these being "hidden" is so that chapters can conduct their business in relative privacy and to keep spammers from causing havoc. No one is excluded from joining a chapter unless he/she has already had problems on other forums. All they require is that you click on "Join this chapter" which sends a request to join to the moderator of that chapter forum. Once he gets the request, he can activate your membership. Then, when you open up the TKF Index page, your local chapter will appear as one of the regular options. You can then keep up with "local" news and conditions and join your buddies for trips to YOUR local waters. But, if you don't send that request to that chapter moderator, he can't activate your membership. He can't do it over the phone or with an email.
I hope this clears up some of your questions about open or closed forums/chapters.
Thanks

Perhaps I'm missing this? Don't see a "Chapter" option at all on the page? (I'm logged in)

Jory,

Click on "User Control Panel" and once on the page, near the left side, click on "usergroups". The next page will show all of the chapters.

Just purchased a 2010 Hobie Mirage Pro Angler can't wait to do some fishing. Today met some true fishermen from Beaumont they were extremely good people and very helpful with my other tools I purchased. Thanks and Jared from Austin Canoe and Kayak had great customer service skills.

What would it take to start a forum for the Greater Tyler area?

All they require is that you click on "Join this chapter"
Maybe it's too early, but I can't see a "join this Chapter" to click on!

I cant seem to find the "user groups" option. I would like to join a local group. Does this forum still have this feature?

I've gotten as far as the User Control Panel but there is nothing on that page with the word "user" in it other than a list of my activities stating that "user joined the board." I've been through every single link (just a sort of due diligence thing). A little help even if it's that this is no longer available will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Are the chapter forums not open to everyone now? I have access to all of them even though I never requested access.

No they are not accessible. I had access years ago but screwed up my account and had to start a new one since then I can’t get them or even request access to them.

I assume it’s a part of the site that has died.

I for one appreciate the look neumie; just trying to hook up with people occasionally towards the south end of SPI. Looking more to the gulf side but am up for the bay too. Not exactly a newb, just haven't done big water this side.

I was reading through the other comments, and wasn't sure if it was ever clear on how to join the sub chapters? Is this still an option, and could someone please point me in the direction if it is? Thanks ahead!
