Looking to expand the contributors team. We need people willing to help us write guides and articles for new collectors. Preferably English-speaking. Please if you can help, get in touch.

Count me in @Pavle

I’d certainly like to help with articles/guides.

I’m finding myself with more time this year so if I can help it would be my pleasure.

 

[Pavle]

Awesome @LeicesterRob ! I'll get in touch via pm.

We need more people in, so if anyone's interested, just let me know.

 

[D8ct9r]

I would also be willing to help @Pavle

Will need to balance my time with my job, but helping with a review or articles should doable.

 

[Pavle]

Great @D8ct9r I'll send you a pm so that you can see the current articles we have.
Seeing at your blog, would be great if you could compose a piece on stickers finance behind World Cup albums.

 

[Pavle]

I know plenty of you have been asking for the country flags feature like we had in 1.0 version of the forum, well country flags are now back.

 

[Kacper13]

Wiem, że wielu z was pytało o funkcję flag krajów, tak jak to było w wersji 1.0 forum, a flagi państwowe powróciły.

Hello Pavle, I would like to ask how to pick up my country flag? I can't do it on settings. And what you think about adding @Bidus checklist to viewing on main Site?

 

[Pavle]

You can't pick it up @Kacper13 it is given to you based on your IP address. You can select to disable it in the profile. Me and @dantzig are working on the WC 2018 article that actually. Should be done soon.

 

[Pavle]

I think we'll close the summer with a website re-wramp and possibly forum improvements.
If you have any ideas to improve the site or forum, now it's probably a good time to post them as I'll be pushing updates on the weekend.
