Dear Member,

Welcome to the July 2007 The Wholesale Forums Newsletter!

From weeks of planning to months of designing, The Wholesale Forums today finally launches it's new Forum Skin and Brand Image!

News in Brief:

• New Forum Skin and Brand Image Goes Live!
• TWF Reaches 9000 Registered Community Members!
• July 2007 MOTM Awarded to Mac1205!

# New Forum Skin and Brand Image Goes Live!

Be prepared to be amazed! Our new forum skin design has been officially released and is now live! This is a monumental day for all of us who have been involved in the Forum Skin and Brand Image development over the last few months. Countless hours have gone into the researching, planning, designing and implementation of our new identity. It has been a long time coming but I'm sure you will agree, the wait has been worth it! Our aged and rather dull looking old skin (compared to the new) has served us well but has now been retired and our new identity unleashed.

Those of you who have visited the forum already this morning (for us Brits) will have already seen the new skin in all its glory, those of you who haven't I urge you to take a look around and soak up our new image immediately!

The new forum skin is feature packed. We have completely restructured the page layout, reconfigured much of the navigational aspects of the forum, enhanced usability and accessibility by placing common items in more prominent places and of course, completely re-designed our image. An exciting feature I am very proud of is the new search ability. It has been moved away from the horrible drop down menu that was previously present and is now positioned at the very top of the forum.

Moving on, we have a large right hand navigation skyscraper which includes many useful items such as; User Control Panel, Quick Navigation, Useful Articles and Resources. The in thread display is completely different and features; enhanced layout and structure, content display overhaul and a brand new graphics package.

I'm not ashamed to admit that my description simply cannot give our new image the justice it deserves, let it speak for itself by taking a look for yourself.

We hope you like the new forum skin as much as we certainly do. I also hope that you will join me in discussing the new changes and offering your feedback over the next few days via this thread or by emailing us directly: TWF - New Forum Skin Design - Officially Released!

# TWF Reaches 9000 Registered Community Members!

Just a month and a half after we reached 8000 members we have topped another record and reached 9000 Registered Community Members. Forum traffic continues to sour and we have doubled our quarterly traffic. TWF continues to expand its reach and with the new forum skin and increased advertising campaign leading up to the winter months I expect this to increase even further!

Read the full announcement:
The Wholesale Forums has reached 9000 members!

# July 2007 MOTM Awarded to Mac1205!

Earlier this month Mac1205 was awarded July's MOTM! In the height of proceedings with the new skin development and exciting new traffic statistics it shouldn't be forgotten that Mike fully deserves this months award.

You can read what I and others had to say about him here:

----------------------------------------------
I've deliberately kept this months newsletter as short as possible so that you can now go ahead and explore the new forum design. Once again I do hope that you all like the new design and will take a few minutes to offer your feedback.

I wish you a pleasant weekend ahead.

Kind Regards,
Anthony
