It has no positive impact and that's why it exists (all of the others increase your reputation score).

It can depend on if they are in stock somewhere but if they aren't, that gun is correctly priced.

This forum update patch brings with it a bunch of new theme changes, so expect the dark theme to be broken for a little while as I update this.

In all seriousness we basically open the floor to letting new Supporters in now and again but it's a decision made by all existing supporters. Generally if you post frequently and with entertaining or informative content you'll find yourself becoming a Supporter after not too long. A target number of Supporters is 2% of our total regular membership (i.e. people who have visited in the last year). If you've not visited the forums for a year as a Supporter you're not counted in this number. Basically it caps us at a certain number of highly active members so it's a genuine recognition of those who make the forums worth visiting. In many ways they are the reason why our forums have done so well since their inception. There are a couple more requirements too but these are a bit of a secret. It used to be that you could buy your way in, but not any more.

Buying a patch doesn't make you a supporter. You have to be invited and shown the secret handshake that Rogerborg has already given too much away of. As soon as we reach a quorum he's on his way out.

as a consequence of your mods bringing this to my attention: Number of ads per week reduced to 10 from 14. Believe me, getting free money for hosting is always a plus but one has to consider that the Classifieds are a way of on-boarding new members who head over to the forums and have a discussion, not as a way to make money. We've spent all this time discussing people spamming the Classifieds only to let retailers pay their way in? Seems a little silly, but I understand your point. The return to the forum is - as mentioned - the fact that we are one of the premier places to list airsoft goods (and buy them). This attracts new traffic to the site (a fraction of which might stick around). In terms of making this a paid service and the logistics of that, it's actually not too difficult. IPB already has ways of letting you pay your way into a group and from there it's just a case of restricting posts per group (something we already do, because Supporters can list an unlimited number of ads per week). If you're a supporter, please go here to discuss further. The only way to 'bump' is to relist your ad after it expires.

The colours on all these links have now changed because it was causing problems in the text entry areas (such as composing a topic or reply). The style for these areas is inherited from the same colours set for any link on the website that isn't explicitly a menu item or something really important. So now the two different shades of blue will be present on the dark theme too (identical to the light). Hopefully this the secondary effect of making read topics more obvious.

Use https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ Would recommend a far cheaper setup than that which Jedi has posted. You will never use most of the features of a board that costs more than 150 quid. Spending a lot of money on a good motherboard isn't really worth it unless you have some specific additional needs in mind for connectivity or running many expansion cards etc. If you're using a single graphics card (which you really should be if you don't have more than a single 4K monitor) then almost any Z490 type motherboard is fine. MSI are my go-to pick but it won't really matter which you buy. Don't get a MicroATX as you will pay a slight premium for it being smaller and probably loose some connectivity too. Plain old ATX is the best value. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=143 My recommendation would be the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS because it's from a reputable brand and is the cheapest. I am assuming that you don't need WiFi built in. For RAM: All of these boards will support ridiculous RAM clock speeds. I'm just going to pick you something with a decent response time and from a good brand. Anything over 3000mHz is fine. Realistically you will never notice the latency or clock speed on RAM for general/gaming applications anyway. My recommendation would be two of these sticks: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/QBrYcf/kingston-hyperx-fury-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-hx432c16fb3k216 You don't need more than 32gb for general or gaming purposes. If you do a lot of design work maybe consider 64gb. On the note of LEDs: Just completely ignore LEDs and order what has the best specs. LEDs or not. Better value usually means not having to deal with needless lights though, even from brands like MSI, Gigabyte, Asus etc. who will certainly offer RGB on their worse value boards and RAM. Also you can now buy a properly soundproofed case

I'll continue to reduce it on the advice of the moderation team. This was actually proposed by them a little while ago so you have them to thank and me to scorn for being too busy to action it properly.
-
I actually don't know how that works, so the proof will have to be in the tasting.
-
Max adverts now at 14 per week down from 10 per day.
-
Most dark modes use black and white, not dark blue and white. I might try both. By the way, the light theme will always stay default (if that was the worry).
-
Likewise I think a few of the buttons are still showing in a light grey/white, which needs fixing. I'll do another pass on it this weekend and then we'll announce it. If anyone else has some feedback for me please let me know
-
How are we getting on with this? Has anyone noticed any issues with the template or is this good to go out of 'testing'?
-
Just screenshot them and send them over if you like. I will surely be doing another pass some time this week anyway.
-
Particularly around the classifieds where I have made a lot of custom edits to better suit us, but this might require flicking between the light and dark theme (which isn't something I'd expect you to do). If you see anything that you remember being different in the light theme (that isn't just colour) that's the kind of thing I'm looking for
-
Refresh. Should be there now. Next to 'contact us'.
-
Ok, try it out. Scroll to the footer and under the 'theme' drop-down you should see the dark theme test. Relying on you lot to report any problems with it so that I can fix them

Give me 30 minutes.

Because of the way IPB works a price slider is difficult, however we are now able to do price range filters. I've added a couple to get started but will ask around as to what the best price bands are.
-
Working on this. Won't be too long actually for at least a price range slider. Removing from searches may be possible post-sale, but I'll have to get back to you on this one.
-
Though most from the end of last year were sent I noted a few stragglers in the list that were for some reason missed. Simple neglect on my part I'm afraid. Those of you who were waiting over a month should have received something a little extra for the wait. Sorry about that. To anyone still missing a patch: please PM or contact me via the admin form at the bottom of the page.

This advert is COMPLETED!
- For sale
- Used
New price as scope and DBLA to be sold separately. PDIK - dare I say it - DMR. Locked to semi auto and uses a pneumatic HPA kit (PDiK) so needs no battery. Internally regulated and has a 13ci/3000psi bottle in the Mancraft MASS stock. Has all the responsiveness of HPA but doesn't have an external line getting in your way if you're laying down a lot to snipe. Cerakoted in half graphite, half burned bronze mix. Not used a whole lot in skirmishing as sniping isn't for me Internals Mancraft PDIK engine Wolverine Storm v2 regulator PDI 6.01 barrel ProWin hop unit Flat hopped Externals Licensed SA receiver set from G&P Mancraft MASS air stock Cerakoted by Hi-Spec Coatings G&P MOTS wirecutter rail G&P rifle length outer barrel 5KU ambidextrous selector (does not work ambidextrously due to the way the PDIK works - one side of the selector is just for show, in short) 5KU ambidextrous mag release (this does work) Clone Harris style bipod Extras 6x no-name MOE-style midcap 70rd magazines with genuine Magpuls and Mapleleaf enhanced springs for reliable feeding Visionking 3-9x42 with clone Larue quick release mount (mount modified a bit underneath to stop wobble) SOLD G&P DBAL v1 (has the IR modes etc. working that you'd expect) Split into another listing Nuprol carry case with custom foam (pick and pluck but then sealed over with sprayable vinyl for longevity) Delivery & Payment If you really want to 'gift' your PayPal payment based off my previous feedback I will knock off half of whatever the fees are I will accept a return of this in un-skirmished condition within 30 days with no questions asked. I will also pay half of your return postage fees Delivery will be by Parcelforce 48 and I can dispatch within 3 working days of payment (probably sooner but can't be sure). I'm not really after swaps unless it's a pistol + cash my way. The regulator can be tournament locked, but it's little fiddly to do (not that you'd want to often). My availability during the days and evenings is very limited so viewing it in person will be difficult. This is why I offer a 30 day returns period and will pay half of the return postage if you change your mind.£490

I'm back towards the end of this week so will be able to send out any that are pending. Sorry for the wait over christmas but I've been mostly out of the country
