Just added you and a dozen other members to the NSFW area. ~J

Got you, Aporetic, and the other members that PMed me. You should see the NSFW area by the Marketplace section. If you don't, try logging out, then back in. Thanks! ~J

Bill, if you go to the main page (which lists all the forums) and scroll down, near the Marketplace you will see the NSFW/ Adult Area. I'm caught up with the new requests too. ~J

This old thread has gotten revived then way off track and I'm stopping it. Madsaddler, please start a new thread if you still have things for sale. Let's all leave our political views out of it and be respectful, okay? Thanks! Johanna

You're in- and so are you folks that sent me a PM. Anyone else want in- just holler. ~J

I think the adult section is caught up again. Holler if you want to see it and don't. ~J

Everyone who requested an add to the adult area is in now. SandSquid, look towards the bottom of the main index page for the NSFW area. Johanna

It can be once he's logged in to his account. There is a button on the index page of the forum to delete the board cookies. Sometimes it helps to click that, then log back in.

Yes, it sounds like a cookie problem. Let us know if the problem continues, please.

Okay, everyone is added that requested it. ~J

I prefer "leatherworker" because we need to get paid for our WORK. I am not a "crafter", which conjures up images of glue guns and popsicle sticks, nor a "smith", just a humble leatherworker. But there is no "standard" definition. ~J

We can delete threads, but we felt that some important issues were discussed here and the matter is resolved. I am now closing this thread.

When we started LW it was a way to selectively read and answer leather posts without having the hassle of old-fashioned Yahoo email lists. LW is for "education, entertainment and fellowship" for all leatherworkers, newbies to pros. Many of you had good suggestions in this thread, like how to use the advanced search feature and how important it is not to belittle anyone's efforts to learn and improve. I once worked as a Tandy manager, and you would not believe what people think they know, or what they don't! Sometimes they don't even know the words to describe what they want to ask (like wanting "rawhide" boot laces) so I can see where "search" can fail. People volunteer their time to help here, and many leatherworkers are grateful for their informative posts. Experienced leatherworkers tell me they get new ideas here, and inspiration to try more complicated projects. New folks can get encouragement and an occasional hand-holding from seasoned pros. That was the point of the board in the first place- make it easy for people to connect and share info and pics.( I never expected 26,000+ members!) Our board is enjoyed all over the world, and I think it's because we are a friendly helpful bunch. Now, let's go get that ice cream. I want sprinkles. Johanna

I just added another dozen people to the adult area. Anyone else want in there? ~J

Thanks Wiz! We've got 8 pages here, and a lot of good info sprinkled throughout, but this is overwhelming for someone who is new at this. If you write it, we'll pin it, you betcha! Johanna (makes fresh coffee and turns up the music for Wiz)
