Hello eveyone, I have just joined the VFG a couple of days ago. I live in Denmark (although I am originally from Holland) where I own an online vintage store. I am SOOO happy I was approved, as I have only sold vintage clothing for the past year - and I am not a fashion industry person, just a girl who is mad about vintage clothing! Online vintage is still a relatively new phenomenon in Scandinavia, but it is getting bigger by the month. I love reading the discussions about dating things in here, that is one of the things I love most - I usually visit vintage sites and guess when things are from - often I get it right :USETHUMBUP, but when something has been manufactured early on in a decade, I often get it wrong. Okay, that was a long story, sorry for rambling on! Hope to get to talk to you on the forums or somewhere else - have a great day!
So lovely to meet you and welcome to the forums. If you love vintage you'll fit right in. I think we've already got some welcome messages for you on the forums somewhere. It might take a while to get used to where everything is so just take your time and enjoy. There are lots of wonderful people here so please ask if there's anything you want to know.
Hello - It looks like there's already a welcome thread for you on the trade member side of the board - here's a link: http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/viewthread.php?tid=65257 As a trade member, you should be able to view that thread - if you cannot, just let us know
Thank you Louise, and thank you Kristine - very kind of you! Kristine: I am unable to open that thread, the message I get is: "Sorry, you are not permitted to view this forum". Hmm...where did I go wrong?
Looks like your ID either hasn't been upgraded, yet - or if you simply signed up with this one, they may have set up another "member" id for you. Hopefully someone will come along who knows more about how to fix this...
I'm sot sure if this has anything to do with it, but under your name it does not say Trade Member, it says Stylist?? Never seen this before.
It's very retro. You used to be a stylist, maven, fashionista etc depending on how many posts you had made. That has gone by the wayside it appears. It's a blast from the past to see it though..
See now, that was interesting! I had noticed that as well, and wondered why I was called a "stylist" - but it is very retro then, I guess. I am going to see if someone can change me from being a stylist to being an actual trade member. Thanks for your help!
Hello--i sent a U2U to Susan and made her aware of your problem. I'm sure she will get you into the trade side soon. There is a nice "welcome" over there for you! Tiffany
Good morning I think I fixed the problem - sorry about that - still on a learning curve as an administrator! I also changed the "theme" to make it a little easier for you to see the difference betwen the public and private forums. You can go into your "edit profile" and change it if you'd like. And welcome!!!! If you can post as to whether or not you can get into the private forums, one of us can move this thread over there. Thanks! Susan
