I've thrown one in there to test it but it might not display all images etc. at the moment.....but you'll get the idea.

now I have to find some decent styles to upload for you!
bit extreme bud lol.....but you got the idea....
try and go for a darker grey colour - rather than white just now.....you want it so it takes the glare off for night viewing :wink:

You can also quickly adjust the theme at the bottom left of every page with a drop down menu. I still haven't put any decent themes on but I'll get there!

justin - in the printer section, could we have a sticky post with "read this first" and then have a bit about colour profiling, and also the different types of ink needed to sublimate images - time and time again we get the same posts, perhaps a read this first might help.

Will take a look at this as soon as I can. probably come under the FAQ that we intend to have at the start of each section to avoid the repeated questions

We've looked at this before and it's a tricky one to implement. Personally I have no problem with a new member coming on to sell items, it would be polite if they informed me of this and closed their membership once the items were sold but that doesn't happen :-)

There was good article made about printers etc by JSR or JOHNG. Problem is when people keep asking the same basic question, people keep answering them :)

Agree with Paul and MrsMaggot

I do see the same question pop up time and time again. Many a time I have wanted to respond with an answer that I suspect would have me banned!!!!

I am not sure if a "READ THIS FIRST" would help or not as I suspect most people ignore it. But its worth giving it a try.

People will never "READ THIS FIRST" I'm afraid. Just take a look in the For Sale section for a good example! It's down to us to point the member to these FAQ's, it doesn't help when 'we' all answer repeatedly though I guess :-)

maybe if we all get a standard reply going - please follow this link - or have you read this first, and then perhaps those admin can lock the thread to new posters for a while to stop them getting more replies, as i often say to people - all the answers are in the forum you just need to search for them

i wash thinking a heading of "printing faded colours/green/not what you see on screen" then a link to a FAQ section, then the same could be linked on the heat press / mug press "pressing faded colours/green/not what you see on screen" again with a link to the same faq

if it says "read this first" they wont, if it has a small heading of what we already know are the most common headings they might?
