Welcome back to the true home of Got Mittens. No censorship, no deleting profiles, just sharing knowledge and our mutual love of collecting German buckles.. Onwards and upwards…

Thoughts and opinions needed. 😉

Anyone still here? 😉

I'd like your opinions on the Buckle Gallery. It's an add-on for the forum which could be handy, however I wonder if it takes the knowledge/information away from the dedicated topics. I've added an Imperial Buckle Gallery as a test. Need your opinions on it, I've created a poll. https://www.gotmittens.org/forums/index.php?/gallery/category/2-imperial-buckles/ We could use a seperate gallery for each type of buckle, which might get confusing, or we could have one gallery for all buckles. My only concern is that it won't lend itself to have discussion on the actual buckle, and it can look disorganised. If we kepth the buckle pics in the relevant forums, then it would be easier to discuss and learn from the pics. Thoughts?

Ok, here's the script. This group is about sharing of knowledge and helping fellow buckle collectors. It is not for profiteering. @george feindel posted a Postchutz buckle here for sale for $850 whereas it was on his dealer website for $500. He was questioned about it, had the chance to explain or adjust, he did not. That really goes against the spirit of this group, it is NOT acceptable... @george feindelis no longer welcome here. Also banned from our FB group too...

Have a look at the test Imperial Buckle gallery, interested in whether we just have a group with buckle topics in it or a seperate gallery. The thing about the gallery, it's great, but is it not better to have a discusson that's linked with pics?

Hi folks, I'm working on dedicated buckle albums in a gallery, you'll see it as it progresses but please don't add anything to it/them till I'm finished. 😉

Just keep clicking things, you can’t break it. 😉 im just setting up a proper gallery so that’ll be here soon...

I'm open to ideas on this. There is a paid plugin which creates decent photo galeries in here, so we could have a gallery for Imperials, one for Heers etc. The M4 codes, would be good to have a reference area for this sort of data, thoughts?

Gary was a great guy, moderator for Got Mittens, friend, collector and all round good guy. Sadly, died Feb 2019, taken far too soon. RIP mate, will raise a glass to you tonight and think about all the good natured banter we shared online.

People often ask me, why did you call your group Got Mittens? Well, here’s the reason why...

Well yeah, but 50Mb would take ages on even the fastest broadband. It means that I use Amazon S3 storage so it's totally scaleable and reasonably inexpensive. You can add more posts if you get anywhere near 50b on onepost.

It also has unlimited photo uploads which work well from phone too. 😉

Welcome to the Got Mittens web forum... earky days, but it's work in progress.
