FPnuts/FPB basic structure now is in place. Basic permissions to allow safe function have been- it is hoped- established. Gallery is open for image uploads (as of Wed June 23) though some bugs yet remain. A couple eye-catching skins have been attached to the board, with more to come. Individual appearance tweaks (pen-related logos and such) are planned, but will be implemented later , as it seems best to open the Forum asap, rather than delaying for appearance adjustments.

The Board should go "public" next week June 29. Start planning those heady threads and begin to spread the word.

Best of luck on this new pen board. There is a really nice group of "experts" lined up.

Best wishes for this new endeavor! There can't possibly be too many opportunities for pen nuts to get together.

[Chris Chalmers]

Well done to the Board!!!! Another great site..............promises much - and I look forward to spending time here too.
I've been a collector since 2002.........and a great customer of Dr D., Rob M., John M., Richard B., and all those with expensive tastes and even better pens to sell! MBs, Japanese, vintage Parkers just to name a few..........oh, and my latest flooziness was for Omas, old style of course!
Bring it on folks!

Always great to have another place to discuss Fountain Pens. Best of luck to those who worked and are working on this.

Thank you.

[CarolinaWriter]

Very nice! I am looking forward to the conversations that will go on here.

[HisNibs]

Congratulations to all involved. With both the 'Fountain Pen Community' and 'Lion & Pen' going offline in the past couple of weeks, it's nice to have another addition.

Best of luck!

Regards,

Norman

Am I late?

Am looking forward to participating more on this site too! In the meantime, could someone pls tell me how to enable the little PM and Email buttons that typically go under the avatar pics? Been looking all over the site and my Profile etc to no avail.

[fumble fingers]

Well, it took more than 10 minutes to get the activation E-mail, but here I am.

Okay, looks interesting. I guess I'll look around.

[tsachi]

Good luck!

All good

Space is set up for Turning chats, hidden down in Miscellanea.

Didn't want too many dedicated fora to start, but over time those that flourish (if any flourish) will be promoted to dedicate forum or sub-forum status.
