==== Newly Launched Forum Design Settles In ====
No doubt most of you who are reading this newsletter will have already seen and absorbed our new forum design that we launched just last month. During the first week of its launch we received a substantial amount of feedback on the design which was really great, so thank you to those who did get involved and shared your thoughts with us. I should mention that a number of you suggested some slight improvements to the skin which I am happy to report we acknowledged and our designer later that very week implemented. The skin has now certainly settled in and I continue to get emails from members expressing their delight in the new look. If you haven't yet seen the new skin, please do take a quick look and consider letting us know your thoughts.
==== August 2007 MOTM Awarded to MustHaveMobiles ====
Congratulations to MustHaveMobiles, this month's winner of the Member of the Month award.
This month's award may have come of a surprise to its winner, but Mike (one of our Senior Moderators) has been chosen as this month's MOTM.
Mike has long since been a cornerstone of this forum. Even several months before me he was promoted to a moderating position and has ever since been helping out with the daily running of the forum. In addition, Mike's experience and wealth of knowledge that he demonstrates time after time doesn't go unnoticed. Notably his knowledge of eBay and surrounding Web Business topics are some of the resourceful I have ever come across.
So Mike, I can't thank you enough for continuing to help moderate and give your time up so sparingly to help other members of the community by sharing your expertise. You are firmly one of the forums MVP's!
==== Recently Published Helpful Guides ====
This month we have published two new helpful guides for members of the community.
# 1 - A Guide to Leaving iTrader Feedback
---------------------------------------------------------------------
iTrader Feedback is the forums community feedback system. Essentially it functions very similar to an online auction feedback system:
* Each member of the forums has their own iTrader Feedback Rating.
* This rating is based on the transactions they have completed with other traders on the forums.
* At the end of transactions you are able to leave positive, neutral and negative feedback ratings as well as individual comments about the overall transaction.
* This rating is then stored on the members feedback profile.
It is vital that whenever a transaction has been completed on these forums that the relevant parties exchange iTrader Feedback so that reputations can be built and experiences shared. This guide will take you through how to successfully leave iTrader Feedback for another member of the community.
# 2 - A Guide to Reporting a Post to the Moderating Team
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporting a Post is a way to directly report an individual post or thread to the forums moderating team. Reporting a post is your direct link as a registered member of this forum to the staff who uphold the communities tough stance on certain members who choose to break the forum rules. This feature enables registered members to (by individual post) report any of the following; Spam, Unauthorized Advertising, Swearing, Abusive Comments and for any other reason that is deemed to have broken the forum rules.
==== Fantasy Football Competition Opens its Doors ====
Following the success of last year's forum competition The Wholesale Forums has decided to offer members the opportunity to take part in another forum Fantasy Football Competition. The competition is as you would expect just like all other online fantasy football leagues but is made up of a league of forum community members. Last year we had over 25 people join the competition and a number of highly confident players taking part in an optional paid competition where one lucky forum member received £65.00 winnings! If you have an interest in premier league football then you simply cannot miss out on our community competition!
==== This Month's Top Threads ====
This is a new feature that we will be including in future forum newsletters.

A popular thread this month has been the discussion of which industry is perhaps the most profitable. Oil, Banking and Investments have all been mentioned already, have your say:

==== Editor's Note ====
Well that's your lot for this month! Join us next month when we might just be celebrating another community landmark achievement! I hope you have all found the new newsletter format more resourceful, please do direct any comments you may have to me directly.
I wish you all a very pleasant week ahead!
Kind Regards,
