Hi all.
Was just wondering where we got up to with the FT Cards??? There was a strong interest but I have not heard of any action being taken.

Could someone please provide a update??


Thanks

I often order full colour business cards from Vista Print, which generally - including now via this link cost zippo per box except shipping. Well worth folks ordering if you need some cards.

Someone needs to talk them into offering a FlyerTalk base template.

Come and visit the most ** FRIENDLY FORUM ** on FlyerTalk. No flame wars, no personal abuse, no substance abuse. Not much of anything really!

The action that was taken was that graphics were provided so that anyone who wanted a FT logo to print on "print your own" business cards (a la the Avery kind you buy at the office supply) could do so.

I'm pretty sure that Randy stated that it was not his intention to get into the business card printing business....

I didn't see anywhere that graphics were provided. Could you provide a link so I know where to find them?

Further, there had been a lot of discussion over whether these were pre-printed forms that you would add your information to or if they would be files you could print yourself. Many people have made assumptions about Randy's intent, but Randy has not clarified, so I don't think it's fair to state as fact what his intentions were.

Many people do not have color printers, and as such would benefit from being able to get pre-printed forms. Several of us mentioned being more than happy to order these and pay for them, just as we do for other things from the FT store.

Of course, a more ideal solution would be to work with VistaPrint to get purchasable cards that way.

Either way, I'm looking forward to some sort of solution I can use...

Might be a good idea to query Randy directly rather than posting your displeasure in a public forum ... just a thought

Randy indicated in the FT Card thread that he would work on it... we have to give him time.

David, may have been more appropriate to just post to the original thread.

Interesting concept. Let's just bring old threads forward when someone asks a question months later via a new thread so each Forum then has TWO (or ten) current threads on the same topic.

Lighten up Oz, that thread isn't MONTHS old, it's ONE month old. Wharvey was pointing to a thread that contained all the information needed. Don't tell me you've never bumped up a thread asking for updates on the topic.

As for the link, I also missed a link with the graphics files.

Thankyou all for your reply.
See I went hunting for the old thread but had little luck in finding it, after going through about 10 pages I found it just as easy to ask the question in a new thread.
Well I am sorry if I have done wrong, just one of the reason's why I hate posting on FT.

I asked a simple question, "Where were we up to with regards to the cards" and now its down to where we should post and how.
It's a message board, a place to post messages, don't you think there is a growing obsession as to how and where people post?

If I find it hard to post on FT, just imagine what our new members are thinking.

Mr. Star, I didn't think it was an unreasonable question at all

Me neither.

Me three.

ScottC .... a thread that started December 4th, with a last post of January 11th is not months old but "ONE month old"???? OK, you MUST be correct. My humble apologies.

And wharvey was not so much "pointing to a thread" ...... as telling a FT Moderator - dmfreidman where it was "appropriate" for him to post it seemed clear to me. [As basically did essxjay - a Moderator for this Forum, in the post before.]

MrStarAlliance by asking a simple question possibly obviated the need for others to wade thru three pages of months old material had he not been de-railed. Seems sad the responses he got led to this:

Since I started the first thread, I just wanted to provide an update. I e-mailed the MotherShip about three weeks ago & am just waiting for a response. Realize that this isn't "saving the world" kind of stuff & that Randy's plate is probably pretty full with the upcoming Freddies & general biz.

I'll post if I hear anything. Tape at eleven...

OZ,

I do not believe I need you to tell me what I was doing on a thread... I was telling the poster where the more appropriate place to post was... I was NOT talking to the moderators... I believe they could find the thread as easily as I did (took about 30 seconds).

Thanks for understanding my position Scott... I was definitely pointing to where the information was.
