    Not sure if this is the right place to post this?

    This afternoon I posted some pictures on the crochet thread but when I logged in again this evening there was a message stating that my post had been deleted.
    I had read through the rules and thought I could post on there as it was a public forum, obviously I was wrong.
    All I wanted to do was show some items that I thought others might like to see. I only joined a few days ago but now feel that posting is a bit of a minefield and am disinclined to use the forums in case I unwittingly make the same mistake again.

    @Dilly Day Yes I realise it is confusing, and please don't be put off.

    We have a strict rule about only trade members can promote their shops, and those parades are all about promoting your shops. I'm going to revise the forum description to make it clearer.

    I'm really sorry it wasn't clear, and this is our failing and not yours.

    Plus your gloves were lovely! And you didn't link to a shop which is the main thing we try to prevent. I'm going to reinstate your post, but put it in the Show and tell forum.

    @Dilly Day
    Your post is now here, https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/crochet-gloves.73922/

    I'm so sorry we handled this badly, and I hope you will keep posting here as your contributions are very very welcome. And I love seeing crochet items!

    This is a learning experience for me, as the last thing we want is for someone like you to be put off from joining in here. And thank you for making us aware that our information isn't clear.

    Thanks you for your replies.

    Ruth - thank you very much for reinstating my post, that was kind of you.

    It was a genuine mistake on my part - obviously I didn't read the rules carefully enough but just saw this:
    REGISTERED GUESTS
    *Can read and post to the public forums but not promote their wares & businesses

    As I am not selling anything I didn't see a problem - it is a learning experience for me too.

    These forums are a wonderful resource and I love being able to show my "treasures" and see other peoples lovely things too. I know I will learn a great deal here too.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Yes it's understandable you didn't realise. We just are realising ourselves, that's it's not completely clear. Your post was fine, just not in that thread! It's a fine line sometimes, and we do have to revisit and revise our policies on occasion as things come up.

    One of the issues is that many many people join these forums purely to post links and promote themselves (you'd be amazed how much work goes into controlling that), and so we have to have quite strict rules because of this. Obviously that isn't what you were doing though.

    Hi @Kerry Cordero - you can ask for help with dating in our Q&A Forum: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/public-vintage-fashion-ask-questions-get-answers.39/ - please post images of the whole jacket, front and back, as well as of any labels it has.
    If you need help with posting photos, please see here: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/faq-how-to-post-a-photo.52756/
    Labels to be added to our label resource can be posted here: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/post-labels-for-the-label-resource-here-2021.73117/ - but if we can answer the dating question in the Q&A forum and you mention that we may use the labels, we can also tag someone from the label team to pick the images up :).

    Yes I am new to this and I would appreciate any guidance. Most of all I would like to be able to date my vintage items for sale. I also signed my name up wrong Typo- It should be Dinah's Vintage Eye Candy - Can I edit it? Thanks so happy to be here and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the group.
