Decision made

WAYWT IH thread in General chat is for Iron Heart outfits (pic should contain at least 1 IH item)
(Fit) Pictures of other brands in Other brands open to all non IH related outfits.

That's a good solution. I can live with that. Not that it matters. Just sayin'.

Giles, I know everything!
Absolutely awesome pic. I always wanted to try fly fishing.

You didn't see how many times Beatle and I PM'd each other on the subject.  In the end I understood what was needed, but I think I tried Beatles patience

Good work Beatle and Giles. Makes complete sense to me. Don't forget, we've got  "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)" too, which seems jeans/clothes agnostic as well.  I'll use this one mostly on the weekends, when I'm out and about, doing stuff.

I was thinking that the "News" sub forum is a bit cluttered with double threads from the "Products" sub forum. For instance, "Super Black Vests" and "Posting Images" which Giles started waaaay back and are now no longer necessary should be deleted, NOT merged. There are certain things in each thread that might be useful to merge into a particular products thread, but as far as just merging the thread, it makes the thread hard to follow and unorganized. I know it is nit picking but I guess this is what this thread is for. Thanks!

Guess not.

No you're right it is, when I come up for some air, I'll get onto it…G

[Beatle]

I think it´s already done

No worries, was just trying to help straighten up. Take your time.

Little suggestion for a catalogue/forum/website crossover:

How about user generated product reviews (Amazon-stylee)?

There's probably easily enough material on the forum to make this hit the ground running.

Beatle will have it done by Friday

[Beatle]

correct me if I'm wrong - but won't the users leave a comment in the relevant product thread anyways ? Meaning - why another review if we can have it straight up ? Please elaborate…

[hectic]

I meant have the reviews linked directly to the product listing page at thw webstore - they in turn could then be linked back to the appropriate product thread on the forum. (Similarly, when the catalogue is done then cross linking could occur there too). Really, I'm talking about making the whole web presence more holistic (yeah, shit word sorry) and interconnected.

I was thinking about this because of the…

...comment by nooblet333 here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=21.60

And also the useful product precis comments Giles has put in the nascent catalogue.

[Giles]

I think Nooblet333 was referring to the TW Fall 2010 collection, which as yet, has no web presence or means to order, mainly because it does not exist yet!..G

[Giles]

The IH site is going to go through a radical rewrite, I have some very large techical and creative brains on iit at the moment (that of course rules me out).  I think your holistic approach is really great, we'll chuck it into the mix…G

[Beatle]

So structure the TW board like the IH - all products - and link to the website ?

[Giles]

I think Hectic meant in general put some more interlinking in place.  If you go to the bottom of the IH634SR page

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/html/IH634SR.html

You will now find a link to the relvant thread in the forum.

Not sure how we manage all the links as the forum is so dynamic…G

[Beatle]

Let's work on this when the website is done..Rome wasn't built in one day

[hectic]

@G - yeah much like that. The devil will be in the detail as always.

Glad to hear that a revamp is in the works, I am sure the output will be good, glad I could be a modicum of assistance.

I am good at sweeping concepts - its the clever fuckers that do the actual implementation.

[Giles]

Just like me.  When I was in the corporate world, I had to have a dedicated person cleaning up/sorting out the carnage I left behind…G
