Welcome!!

[joel]

Heya Fellas.... WELCOME!!!


A TON of cool changes, upgrades and features on the way! A more formal welcome, along with the purpose etc of the forum etc will hopefulyl get posted tomorrow. For the time being.... have a blast, play around, and enjoy!

Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!!!

[joel]

Some neato features this forum will have you can play around with....
When you click "reply" to a message, if you scroll down you will see an "additional options" section. Within that sectio nalonf there are some REALLY neat features. You can attach files/pics (as easily as you would with an email) right into the post with the "manage attachments" button. You can subscribe to the thread - and get immediate - or daily/weekly updates via email - how sweet is that? On a for Sale/trade thread, you can get immediate emails notifications on JUST that one thread when gents reply!! You can also rate threads. Look on the "quick links" option on the heading bar - and you can add "buddies" view all of their new posts, just view the new posts (since your last visit - and you can also choose to ignore certain users) Also notice the calendar feature? We can schedule chat's, events, deadlines, auto b-day notifiers, the works.... this is just the beginning gentleman, as we plan on REALLY making this place soar!!!

As far as I can see no suggestions are needed everything is coming together nicely....keep up the good work joel.

Greetings all,
As I always told (nagged?) my children, "It's is not how you fall that matters, but how you get up that counts!"
Best regards to all,
Ron

Good luck Joel. I look forward to visiting here often.

[rschul2]

Nice job Joel! A little different from previous forums I've been on, but a welcomed difference.

[Jeftichew]

looking forward to the new site.

vBulletin is awesome, have worked with it often.

You may consider looking into some plugins like vBadvanced (http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?) which has tools that organize things nicely without much hassle. The gallery one is quite good for sharing pics and CPMS makes a nice front page with changing content.

[Jeftichew]

Also, I'm not sure if it is in your "vision" for the site, but I think that the shaving sites (and many of the grooming sites in general) are lacking a well organized review/rating database.

It would be AWESOME if you could set up something like this using one of these tools to avoid redundant posts about particular products and have a growing feedback/rating database to help people choose whats best for them.

and even more review/rating scripts (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Reviews_and_Ratings/?action=formsubmit&listing_sorting_order=hits&listing_sorting_direction=des)

[joel]

Cool - thanks for the link Chew! Excellent suggestions and I'll have Nick set them up as soon as he wakes up ;)

Nick here, awake and semi-alert. Thanks for the suggestions jefti. I admit that sometimes when I've got much better things to be doing, I'll spend hours sifting through hotscripts.com. Joel and I are currently looking through all the links you provided, and I think everyone would agree that a legitimate reviewing system is a must have.

[AACJ]

Woo Hoo!! I am the newest member, so far!!

[joel]

A hearty welcome goes out to everyone who joined today! What do you guys think of the new logo in the top left corner?

[Austin]

Joel, what exactly is that?

[joel]

This is what the lil buggers look like....

Joel, I feel stupid but the only thing that appears on my screen is vBulletin. Perhaps it's my firewall. :(

[joel]

hold the shift key then click refresh (while holding shift) should come up.

[Austin]

Thanks Joel :) ! The little fella popped up.

[mike]

I think shaving soaps and creams should be under the same section. You could then have a separate section for the "other " types of soaps etc.

[joel]

Mike - that certainly is an option.... our goal is to have 20,000 members by this time next year - so I invision there being an incredible amount of posts in one forum if they were linked....

Any reason in particular you think the two should be intermingled? If you guys want them combined - it will be done!

[joel]

Maybe you don't have to mingle them Joel, but
could shaving cream be moved up ^ under soaps so the two are right there together? and they'd be beside brushes as well.

Jus' a suggestion.

- Gramps


This place is as much yours as mine! It shall be done! - also we can throw up a poll on combining the 2 forums!

[joel]

Ron..... keep your pants on.... but we are going to install a TON of smiley options. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[guenron]

Likely story. :(
ME2!
Ahh! <SHFT>refresh
Cute little fella...

[Esoteric83]

Joel,

Site looks great, congrats...I look forward to many discussions!

[tigert]

Nice setup Joel, vBulletin rocks.. I'll be looking forward to the shavemac B&B custom group brush and all the other goodies you have planned. :thumbup1:

Got a custom shave stick and cologne ready to rock and roll in the future - and a few other brush projects that are slowly in the works. Also looking into some cheap towel steamers and a few other cool tidbits! :drool:

[Mitchll]

joel
good luck! happy to join you here.

[nteeman]

How about a Haircare heading? (as seen elsewhere) Might be more useful than clay masks?

[Tequilero79]

Great site guys. Looking forward to spending most of my workday :001_tt2: in this forum.

Respectfully,


Schubert

[Austin]

Welcome Schubert! I love your music compositions. :biggrin:

[adamant]

I thought it would be fun to stir up some old threads. This thread is the last open thread to have been updated.

[studman46]

Great job Joel. Been a member over a year and enthusiasm for this awesome site has not waned. Best wetshaving site, bar none. BTW, nice logo but reminds me too much of my mother-in-law.

[Go West Young Man]

Greatest. Bump. Ever.


Thank you, thank you.

[Argonaut]

I can't believe this thread only has two pages. Better late than never, I've posted in the first B&B thread!

[OldSaw]

I can't believe this thread only has two pages. Better late than never, I've posted in the first B&B thread!

It's still the first page on my computer and I agree that it is hard believe that this thread isn't miles long.

[Landri]

Bump.
This thread is a living legend!!

[Dennard]

Fun to see this thread again.

[DICE]

Very glad I read this! The birth of a legend.....

[Elder Scrolls]

Bump on 1st B&B thread, still going stronger than ever!!!

[global_dev]

I thought the first thread here would be huge. So to keep it going, I'm posting too.

[wimbouman]

Nice!
Glad this post survived the great migrations.

[Doc4]

Who is this joel and how does he have 10k posts and I not know much of him?! I know Art is king and Ouch spews forth whimsical sayings... Doc4 is Canadian... hmmm. May need to stalkerism on some B&B.

I don't trust strangers saying 'It is coming'. Something like crazies and spaghetti monsters or space ships.

:lol::lol:

[Prof. Moriarty]

Just a friendly heads up, new B&B BST rules state no more than 5 items/lots per post, 1 post per month

:lol::lol:

[Dalejr]

Ancient..

[Austin]

Man this is a blast from the past.

[syngent]

Well at least today's new guys will know who Joel is, although threads get interesting when they don't (laugh)

[The Dean]

Whoa! Vat is das?

Looks like a winner. Thanks for the bump.

[VanIsleSteve]

Glad to be a part of the 1st thread

[turtle]

Gotta do it too

[Fatestorm]

Revisionist history in the making!
