HELP > Reports [Print] [Close Window]

Reports are based on specific waters.  Therefore, to find reports, users must first navigate to the water.  Selecting the "Report" button displays the Water Categories List page. 

Water Categories
This page shows all of the water categories available to the forum member.  The average rating, number of reads, and date created are listed for each water category.  Clicking a water category link brings you to that water category's Water List page.
 


Water Categories List Page

Water Category Summary
Selecting a water category from the Water List page brings up the Water Category Summary page.  The Water Category Summary Page is a description of the water category and pertinent statistics (date started, # of reads).  Users may rate the water category by selecting a number from 1 (least favorable) to 10 (most favorable) and then clicking the "Rate" button.


Water Page
Clicking on a water within the Water List page will bring you to the Water Page.


Water Page

The water page contains specific information about the water including Number of Reads, the Create Date, and Member Review.  Additionally, users can map the location of the water (if a link is provided), jump to archived reports, jump to related categories, jump to related forums, view water reports, write water reports, and rate water reports.

The Water page also contains a Points section, through which VAflyfish is given permission to market to the user.  The user can choose to view advertising, receive special offers by email, or refuse contact.  The user's interest level for this water, tracked by the number of points, is displayed in this section as well.

Writing Water Reports
Clicking on the "Write your own report" link will bring up the Write A Report page.  This page allows forum members to write their own reports of waters listed in the forum.
