Duplicate, Old Posts

[Phil Lilley]

Good Morning.

You have, and you're going to continue to see, posts made by me the next few days (weeks) as I build content on the "Pages" side of this forum site.

As I've explained before, Ozarkanglers has 2 separate parts - a Wordpress driven site (http://ozarkanglers.com) and the forum (http://forums.ozarkanglers.com).  Within the forum, Invision has developed an application for adding content like a regular website, along with the forum, chat, gallery and more.  My goal is to eventually move everything viable from OA to FOA so that everything is in one place and connect better.

Up to this last update, I had to copy/paste articles and reports from FOA to OA which is time consuming.  Now I can "promote an article" to Pages with a couple of clicks, BUT when I do it duplicates the post and adds it to the feeds page (Unread Content).  That's annoying to me and I'm sure others.  I've had one person so far ask why his post was reposted in which I explained and he was ok with it.

What this does is adds fishing reports to the lake or river's page under that category where someone can go and fine reports for that lake or river without wading through all the posts on the forum, like an archive.  The Pages, like Table Rock's page, will show a lot of information about that lake.

I'm hoping to develop these pages for all the lakes and rivers covered on OA, adding good, current information for anglers and outdoor lovers alike.

I started OA back in the mid 90's for posting fishing reports for Lake Taneycomo... never thought it would get this big!  But it's fun... especially meeting and getting to know so many wonderful people over the years.  That's the best part about it.  I'm very grateful for @Al Agnew and many others that have contributed so much to the content of this site.

I'm always open to ideas...  just have to be patient with the progress.  I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to it, especially in the summer.  It's a good winter-time project.
