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

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?
