Oh look, its built to support Internet Explorer 8 & 9, 2 versions behind. Also Firefox 17, which is 9 versions behind. Way to go NY....

[burmjohn]

Yeah, and I'm trying to register and it doesnt detect that I have any licenses or hunting classes completed.

cheaper isn't always better...and they paid a ton for the prior one...and that one wasn't great. Here's to hoping.

[burmjohn]

Does it work for anyone else once you put in your info?

I'm not spending time on it until other people have wasted theirs to vet the process.

 

User testing be damned.

It says It doesn't support my browser?...and what is the you can report your harvest anonymously...compared too what publicly showing my name and area?

[burmjohn]

Ok, so I registered and it pulled up my info and shows I have my licenses and preference points. Seems OK other then it ignored my new phone number and shows an old one from 5 years ago, and I can't seem to find where to edit it. 

 

* found it, had to go to Activities.

 

It also stated my browser was not supported but the site worked fine.

Put all our info in and then register, once you have the account created, it should update the page and show your past or current licence info.

 

At least that is what happened when I registered.

What are they using for security? I clicked on all of the bottom ...privacy...foil...ect....ect and it says sorry website is down...

Yes, and oddly it completely ignores the address and phone number information you put in during registration.  In addition the site freezes for me when trying to edit my sportsman's profile in both Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Yeah they link to pages that do not exist, I have sent an email to them with some feedback and included that as well. 

[Sogaard]

Yup. I had the same problem.  It has my house number, but ignored the cell and work numbers I entered.

 

It definitely has bugs to be worked out, not surprised though,  new government web sites have had a lot of problems of late.

[landtracdeerhunter]

LOL.

[burmjohn]

I expect this site to be a little buggy until they hammer out the details.  They should have done some public beta testing to be honest and provided a way to give feedback. 

[Sogaard]

I also can't find a way to update any personal information, so I hope no one moves.  Ever.  

[growalot]

Please tell me this isn't the only way to get your license now....For I read the disclaimer you have to OK to use...no way not doing it....

[WNYBuckHunter]

I registered my account. Came up with all of my info correctly. The only thing that I couldnt get to work was the historical data for tags I had already reported.

Nah, but you can get your DMP's online as well.
