Admin

Ok. So let me just ask; Would it be better to have just the classifieds-section? if we remove the cross-postings this makes into the sales forums? That way all sales would be moved to the classified section and sales forums would be removed from the main form? Or would this make the sale section disappear even more? I kinda like the classifieds idea, as it provides a good interface for sale adverts, but if people like the old format with just posting a "For sale"-threads better, I will of course have to consider bringing this back and remove the entire classifieds area

You still get this? I am using chrome as my main browser and I have no issues. Any other Crhome-users out there with this problem?

Whenever you need the link changed, jist e-mail me at admin@rwg.cc or PM me and I'll edit it.

So it seems a small number of members have some problems with the forum that I am unable to reproduce. Because of this, I would like all members that have problems with the current forum layout to post about their problem here. Please include a screenshot of the problem if possible (If you do not know how to take a screenshot, take a pic with your cell and attach it ;)) Also, include any error messages you get.

And finally, try the link in the bottom left corner of the forum, that says "Theme". Try to change your theme to IPS default and see if that helps and report back if it does.

Thanks for the input so far, guys. Looking forward to hear from more members.

Hi all

Have a little time on my hands these days, so I thought I would get a thread going to get your input on any changes you would like to see here on RWG. Basically; How can we make RWG a better and more attractive forum.

I prefer your answer here, but if you want, you can leave anonymous suggestions here: http://freesuggestionbox.com/pub/rihxcft

So what kind of suggestions am I looking for? Well, anything and everything. Share your thoughts on what you think can make this a better place. E.g.;

I don't like the colors. Make it darker, it hurts my eyes.

Too many forums! (What should we remove/merge?)

We need more forums! (What should be added?)

VIP membership is to expensive. 

There are to many ads for non-paying members

The admin sucks. Get a new one (Won't happen, but its a great suggestion  )

Etc, etc.

The one in the admin lounge? I believe our jet is on it's way back from Scotland as we speak with a new supply

SSL Issues should be solved now, but I notice there is a problem with the layout now, so I will ahve to look into that.

Hey all

Been working on the site in the background quite a lot the last week and have just completed a bunch of updated and upgrades. Classifieds have received some updated and overhaul, so should be easier than ever to ad new stuff for sale. A lot of people have reported problems with Tapatalk and these should also be solved. Last, but not least, I have replaced the old caching server with a new server and I have changed the caching setup. For the g33ks; We are now using a neat combo of Redis, Varnish and nginx

Hi y'all

So...been a long time since I've been up from the basement, but thought it was about time to come up in the daylight and post about some new cool stuff;

First of all; We have lowered the prices of our VIP memberships. We need more VIP members to say alive and the new price is $3 per month. As of today, we no longer offer 1-month memberships. ONly VIPS who have already signed up for these will be able to subscribe by the month.

Clubs - VIP members will get access to a new, cool feature called Clubs. You can now start your own "Club", right here on RWG. It's up to you if you want it to be an open club, hidden club, secret club, etc. You can start your own collectors club of that specific brand you like or a technical club where you only discuss springs on ETA movements. It's all up to you You can decide if anybody can join or if you have to invite the members. Start your own club here and invite your friends:

https://rwg.cc/clubs/

To start a club, you have to be at least a VIP member.  Oh, and just remember that the RWG crew has access to and will moderate the clubs, but we will take into account what kind of club you start. Public clubs, where all posts are open and all members can join will be moderated as the rest of the forum. Secret/hidden clubs will not be as closely monitored, as these are not visible to everybody.

Raffles
Raffles will from now on be integrated in the forum software and winners will automagically be drawn by our raffle software. As a test, I have posted a new raffle here:

It's a free raffle where you can win a free VIP-membership, so go ahead and get your free ticket!

Also, we are bringing back a bunch of new and old collectors, so keep your eyes on the collectors area.

And finally, we will be making some changes to the classifieds section real soon. The most significant change is that members will have to pay for a new ad. For VIP's and above, posting ads are included in their memberships.

That's it from the RWG news channel today. Enjoy!

Hi all and sorry for the long downtime

Server went offline about 24 hours ago, but I was a sleep, so did not notice until I got up and was alerted by staff members. Strange error with disks/partitions and partitions tables was the base error. Server has been reinstalled and latest backup is loading in the background from our backup-server. 50 GB og images/attachments/etc., so a lot of the content on the forum might be missing some content. Should be back online within a couple of hours.

Welcome back and sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh, one more thing; The forum might be a bit slow/unresponsive while restoring the backup due to server resources used to decompress the files. Even thought this process is set with a very low priority, there are a lot of files on the way back on the server, so that's why it might be a bit sluggish the next couple of hours++

Could you let me know what kind of options you select for your ad?

Can you try changing the forum theme to the RWG Alternative? Use the "Theme" menu, way at the bottom left and then try again.

This issue has now been fixed.

The error that prevented you from going to any page number over 1 has now been fixed.

Fixed.

Unfortunately, this is a bug with the forum software and has been reported, but not fixed yet.

Just paid for my VIP membership.

A few comments on the new layout:

I like the looks and the newly added features.

The layout seems to not make good use of the real estate on my screen (wide unused edges on both sides, but maybe it's just an issue with my set-up ?).

The Classified section does fell like a step in the wrong direction IMHO:

Writing a sales thread seems more complicated (but I can probably figure it out) and finding sales threads is definitely less intuitive.

I see a 50% decrease in views and even more in actual sales at least for my last sale

Otherwise I appreciate what you are guys doing to provide this great platform for us.

Donerix

Thank you for your continued support and your comments. We will continue to work on the classifieds to make them better and a more integrated part of the forum.

No worries. It's there, as some members prefer a lighter theme

All members can now choose between the current theme and a lighter and brighter theme. You can switch themes using the "Theme" menu at the bottom of the forum;

Threads like these do have a little warning on the bottom that the topic is old.

I'm guessing it is my operating system. I did a complete restore, reloaded google, same thing. It seems that this is the only site I can't get on.   HMMM

But you ARE on here Seriously, can you take a screenshot of any error messages or post the text of the error messages here?

There have been 1 or 2 times that an insecure image has been loaded from a third-party site that does not run https and that wil cause a waning, but those you can ignore if that's whats going on. But give us some screenshots or text of the error message and we shou,d be able to help

FWIW, I just received a reminder that my membership is up for renewal and my card on file will be charged unless I want to cancel.   So, all looks good!!!!!!!!

Classifieds/sales area update

Made a couple of minor adjustments to the classifieds;

You can now select currency; USD, EUR, GBP
New, free sale packaged added, so that all members can CLEARLY see that all sales are free to add (for a limited time)
All new ads will now be placed in their relevant sub-forum as a regular discussion thread, but no new topics will be allowed in the forums. All new sales must be added via the classifieds section.
