Announcement - Northwest Firearms Fundraising - THANK YOU

Hey Joe,

That was a nice note. Appreciate it.
I noticed in that note you mention that we should support the vendors who advertise here.
I've seen a few banners here and there, but is there a button or icon I click on that will give me a list of those vendors?
Might help when various members are looking to mod/repair their guns.
...please forgive me if its been there the whole time...sometimes I'm a little clueless.

I haven't read through the whole, thread.. I'll try to when I have time. Maybe this has already been addressed.

I am a full-time web professional with a degree in coding for the web. I could offer my time if there was a fit. I know you have moderators and stuff, but maybe there is some way I could offer my services.

We need to keep this awesome site going.. such a great community!! Shout out to all the guys I've met and had great conversations with while waiting for the background check lmao

Yep! It's down at the bottom, a link labeled 'Supporting Vendors'. I need to make it more prominent

We also have dedicated sections for Silver Vendors and above, located on the main forum list page.

Ha! Go figure. I knew I was being clueless.

Just picked up a new Graphics Card for my PC through the affiliate program on Amazon. What's the percentage you guys get off sales like this? Let's keep this place open!!!

Well to be fair it isn't that obvious

Great! I believe it's around 4%

With what I just paid for a small bit of silicon, a nice little chunk of change ought to be coming your way shortly. Keep up the good work!!!

@Joe Link - I think you need to update the link for gun.deals. The link that is there takes you to

 

[DeanMk]

Joe,

Just a suggestion, but maybe you could have a second link at the top, in the bar that helps you navigate to the separate sections of this site.
Then you'd have a "banner/icon" at both the top and bottom of the page...should make it easier to find.

If you click on the picture, it takes you to "gun.deals", but if you click on "visit website" it does take you to the slickguns domain name page.

I'll get that fixed!

Thanks for the suggestion. It's always a struggle trying to keep the top of the page as clean as possible, but I think this is worthwhile. We'll be looking into it for the new version (V4).

 

[DeanMk]

I think it will be pretty low impact, yet still noticeable, if you add it to the navigation bar ("Forums, Media, Reviews...") after the "new" button.
...maybe easier said than done?

 

[Joe Link]

Yeah, the big issue is mobile, tablets, and low resolution computers. We already have plans to add two more tabs, too. We'll see how it all works out as development progresses

 

[FortunateSon]

Upgraded to Silver from Bronze. Wish I could do more, and I would if I didn't spend so much on guns & ammo......

Love the site, it has been a great resource for me. I would hate to see it go.

 

[Joe Link]

Thank you!

I love that this is still going!

You and me both brother!

I frequent this board and occasionally WAGuns.org. The folks over there are very nice but I like this interface more and the "New" posts feature being very handy. WAGuns does have one thing that I really like, and that is a pretty cool logo. It looks good on caps, t-bubblegums, AR dust covers, patches etc. I don't want to knock what we have here (they don't have an awesome lower receiver), but they do have a pretty solid selection of swag. I don't know how much they earn from it, but would it be worthwhile considering a logo to go with our letterhead and expanding on the options of what we sell?

Just paid up to become a bronze member, and I feel it was a small price to pay considering how much I use this forum. Let's keep it alive!
