I just wanted to say that this new system has worked very well this weekend for TFcon coverage. It's still a shame that this news won't make it into the main feed, but El Duque and Blurrz have been doing a fine job of keeping the 3rd party forum up-to-date and easy to navigate. The stickied 3rd party news thread is particularly useful. Well done, guys!

I appreciate that. I've worked out a pretty good system of getting everything done in a quick and efficient manner. I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

El Duque for 3rd party president

I agree, this new way of posting the 3rd party news has definitely proved itself. In my opinion, it was even easier to track than if it were on the front page as each 3rd party news item was posted together so I didn't have to filter through tons of news about other stuff with the 3rd party news peppered in between.

Once the TFCon news started pouring in I only had to browse that thread in a matter of a couple minutes to get completely caught up on all the action, so thanks a lot you guys !

In fact, it would be nice if they'd do something similar for the official Has/Tak toy news so we didn't have to sort through stuff about comics, cartoons and whatever other 'official' news comes around.

They do. Choose "Toy News" under the "Category" drop-down filter.

Yep, you can also get the same via the News dropdown menu at the top and choosing Toy News but articles like these which show up among them are not exactly the kind of official 'toy news' I was referring to/looking for:

• http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... 012/25501/ (Customs, while cool, are not 'official toy news')
• http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... 012/25500/ (Newsletters from site sponsors (i.e. advertisements) are not 'official toy news')
• http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ion/25499/ (Info about a show on the SyFy channel having an episode at some point during its run about a collector having to give up or reduce his/her collection is not 'official toy news')
• http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... con/25489/ (Again, a promotion (advertisement) from a site sponsor is not 'official toy news')

Those site sponsor ads are always really long too, with tons of text and images so scrolling through them is a pain.

That's robofreak's fault.

It should only have been classed under Transtopia, it was his first time filling in for me. I'll take him aside and give him a good beating and make sure he never does it again!

I like how the 3rd Party topics are being posted now, and really appreciate 3P in the drop-down menus. I'm enjoying the format, and hope this prevents multiple posts for the same topic/figure.

Great job, guys!

Disappointed to see the forum gone from the drop down menu. I guess it was only a transitionary measure.
