The Wholesale Forums

[Anthony]

Community,

As some of you know we went off for a bit of maintenance this evening.

Firstly, sorry it took a little longer than planned !!

Anyway, first of all you will notice there have been some minor structural changes to the forum categories, some have moved, some have been removed and new ones have been created ect...

Now..

* Notably is the introduction of the General Business Discussion section. This section is a section dedicated to Business but not specifically Wholesale Business. The reason for introducing this section was to give a greater and wider angle of discussion that the forum will now hopefully generate. The main focus is of course Wholesaling but we cannot ignore the fact that other business matters surrounds this.

* The articles section has been moved up into the "General Business" section but will contain the Wholesale specific articles and guides as before.

* There is now a dedicated section for Online Business Discussion; What I mean by that is in this forum you can discuss eBay, Websites, and other "Online Trading Activities" that fit. As you all know, "Internet Business" is a major part of "General Business Activity" so it seemed the best thing to was create a section dedicated to that theme.

Moving on..

* The "Found a Supplier" section; After a little bit of discussion it was decided that it was interfering with the "Anybody Used This Supplier" section, so it was felt we should combine the two categories, which has now been done and has been renamed to Suppliers Discussion.

* I have introduced a Products Discussion area in which if you wish to talk about a specific product this is the area to do it. The general area was getting far too jumbled with a lot of "Product specific questions and discussions". You will notice however that there are only a few threads in there at the moment, well that will change as and when myself and the moderators finish sorting through the various threads on the forum to apply them to the correct sections after these changes.

* The "Payment & Shipping" section has now been renamed as I have added a "Legal section" to it. Legal Issues has always been a major part of business discussion, so I felt we needed a section for it, thus its been added.

* The "Name & Shame" section has stayed the same, untouched!

* Wholesale Helper, a project of mine of a few months has been added to the "Affiliate Section". You will find more information about what that website offers in the dedicated section. Lots more articles will be added over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for them!

Finally, "The Lounge" has been moved into the Off-Topic Discussion area, as it was decided it was just a duplicate of the Off-Topic area.

Once again, sorry for the downtime but these changes had to be performed behind closed doors.

I really hope you like the changes and will join me in making this forum even more successful over the coming months as we draw closer to the 4000 members mark.

If you have any comments, suggestions or problems, please just email or PM me, or use the relevant section on the forum.

Thanks for reading!
