Noteable News & Updates

November 18, 2009

I updated my monitor the other week from a 17 to a 22 inch. Unfortunately the website looks skewered. Especially the front page. Most especially using Internet Explorer. It's perfect in Firefox, naturally. I only use the other one when I want to log in under two accounts for Facebook's Mafia Wars ;-)

I've a few more items to add to various pages which will be updated by the weekend. A sketch card, a bunch of inserts, a couple of autos and a pieceworks.
My Justice League Archives case is a little way off, yet. Possibly not until mid-December.

I've a new forum created a few weeks ago. It's hosted by the same guys who host this website. They've recently upgraded a lot of stuff and have given us so many new applications to play with. Forums, forms, scripts, other stuff that's way over my head. I chose an SMF forum and picked some nice blue colours.
So far there's not many members. Just two. But that's the way most trading card forums go - there are so many out there, most well-established, that new ones often disappear. Well, I guess I can say mine is a place where Tasmanian collectors can gather and chat to other local collectors ;-)
My old one before that mostly consisted of NSU friends, until an unrelated poisonous person came into our midst and basically destroyed everything. I was stupid enough to make them a Moderator before everything died. Over time everyone left and it just became a place for spammers and annoying passers-by. The board is offline now. I may delete it entirely.

My original main eBay account is back online. Thanks to the share market, mostly! I had quite a few Woolworths shares from back when I worked there. Over time they'd been paying out and rolling back over to purchase more. I had to sell most of them as I had a bit of dental work to get done. That wasn't as expensive as I first allowed. So, with the extra left over I freed up my main eBay account, and with the help of a fantastic eBay Live Help rep (yes, they do exist!) everything is all sorted.

So, Star*Mystyk and Starblade are back online. A couple of others I chose to close as they were the victims of nasty competition who just wanted to destroy and remove me from "their" part of eBay.
Unfortunately my other two trader friends have since left the scene. We ruled Category #163846 three years ago :-)

When a few more members join the forum I'll bring over some of the ideas from my old forum - Contests, Secret Santa, Assistance Package, though may go more on a Mystery Box as NSU used to have.
Sure, there are only two members (I deleted two spammers already) but don't let that stop you from joining regardless.
