Added a few new sections to the board this morning (who needs sleep... :p )
Let me know if there are any problems accessing the new (or old) sections, or if you have any questions or comments.
New sections:
Ratchet's Repair Bay and ID help (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=40) - for ID help and (repairable) problems with toys. For now we'll keep customising tips and help in the Creative section, and repairs and touch-up help in this section (and see how that separation goes).
Member's Transformers sales. (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=13) - is the old 'Swindle's Saleyard, but now just has sales by members (which is the majority of topics in there anyway). This section will still remain 'Private' to guests and Protoforms.
Ebay listings & Dealer Ads (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=38) - For listing of your ebay auctions, and posting up anything from ebay that normally goes into the one big ebay auction topic (which has been relocated into there, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to). Posting sales or new listings at Online stores can be done in this section, and if we ever have any dealers thinking we are big enough to warrant advertise here, this is the section for it. This section should be accessable to everyone (scammers are ebay's problem).
Member Sale Feedback (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=39) - The section that has taken a long time to work out, and even still it will be monitored for a while to see how effective it ends up being. Based on a format on some other fan forums, each topic is given a person's name as its title, and buyers/sellers post comments to each person they want to. Conversation and debate is to be limited or avoided, as it will clutter your feedback topic, preventing others from easily seeing what you are like. This section should be 'Private' to guests and Protoforms.
And each of the Trade related sections have been grouped into their own section of the board, towards the bottom, so that we still prioritise the Transformers News and Discussion areas (and purpose) of this Forum.
Group Orders should be 'Private', while Toy Scout and KO's sections should both be public (I may end up shuffling the Trade sections later to have the Private sections together).
Expect at least one other new section in the next few weeks, and possibly 2 more if demand continues to grow in those areas.
Apologies to any other night-owls tonight who weren't able to access the Board during the last 4 hours.
