The new Global FlyFisher

The Global FlyFisher got a new home during September, October and November 2015, and was transferred from its legacy system to a modern Open Source content management system

The Global FlyFisher got a new home during September, October and November 2015, and was transferred from its legacy system (read: really old, home made code) to the modern Open Source content management system Drupal.

This was a pretty difficult task and was done mainly by transferring data programmatically from the old system to the new, but also by performing a huge amount of manual editing. But even after having spent numerous hours on editing and adjusting old content, we still have a bunch of articles, which don't look that great or have severe errors in formatting, images, links or other things.

I am slowly working my way through these articles, and getting them up to the new standard. But until then you might bump into some odd layouts or things that don't work. I apologize.
There are also problems other places like in the forum and in the comments. I made a mistake somewhere underway and a few comments and forum posts got attributed to the wrong users. I have found most, but if you find stuff that's obviously written by someone other than the one named as the user, please let me know.

If you find an article missing parts or not working or something else that seems wrong or bothers you, please drop me a mail on martin@globalflyfisher.com and I will mark it as needing love and attend to it as soon as possible.

Currently I know that some users have been attributed with other user's postings like comments and forum posts. I am fixing those manually as soon as I find them, and I'm sorry for the confusion and will set the rightful as soon as I see the issue.

You can read more about the new site in this article.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
