  1. There seems to be some sort of bug (or something) that is preventing the recent Prize Draws from choosing a winner when we run the application in the admin area of the forum. There were some updates to the application recently, e.g. to make sure that in future draws the system does not choose ineligible winners and announce an ineligible winner (e.g. in group specific Prize Draws where a member had since changed their member group in between taking a ticket and the system choosing a winner, e.g. cancelling Premium Membership in Premium Membership draws) this update may have caused something which is currently preventing the system from working. I have messaged the specific developer of this application, and will need them to look into it further. So, there will be some delays before these Prize Draws are announced. Apologies for inconvenience in the mean time. As soon as we are able to draw the winners we will do so and then announce them
  2. Hello Jim, welcome to The Silver Forum
  3. In March 2021 there were a total of 688 topics posted in the precious metals trade section of the forum. This includes wanted topics, however as many sales topics contain multiple items per listing, the number of items listed on the forum is substantially higher. This is the highest ever monthly amount of listings on the forum to date. With many members stating that they save more than their membership fees by buying and selling on the forum. For those members who are considering trading on the forum, upgrading to Premium Membership to see trade listings 3 days earlier than standard members is just one of the many benefits. (see each Premium Membership package for full list of benefits) Over the course of 2021 and beyond we will be working on ways to increase the amount of trade on the forum even further, by running different trade promotions and advertising. So we thank members who choice to support TSF by upgrading their membership to Premium Membership as this provides vital funds to allow us to run such trade incentives and promotions to help to grow the forum and trade. Thank you also to all of the members who choose to BUY and SELL on The Silver Forum.
  4. Recently there were some backlogs of emails, for example; new members registering may have found that the validation email in some circumstances took a while to arrive. In short, TSF was effectively occasionally hitting the buffer of how much emails you can send per hour without being blacklisted. This meant that during busy times when a lot of notification emails were sent that some emails could take some time to arrive as there was a backlog for the system to process. We have now moved over to an email system that the majority of large scale businesses use to process hundreds of thousands of emails. There should hopefully now not be any issues with emails being received in a timely manner.

  6. Thank you for your purchase and for supporting TSF. The Australian trade section is here: https://www.thesilverforum.com/forum/118-australia-new-zealand/
  7. Hello and welcome to The Silver Forum
  8. Those that have used the contact button / form on the forum to reach us, please check your junk/spam folder as you will most likely find our replies there along with any missing validation request / password reset emails. All emails are replied to, but as we have received multiple emails from some we believe that our replies may be going to some member's junk/spam folder.
  9. Hello and welcome to The Silver Forum
  10. A bit of fun. For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable) If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus

  16. The idea of this topic is a similar sort of topic to the “Today I bought.....” and the Today I received.....” but you can showcase any item in your collection, not just one you have recently purchased Please only share 1 item per day per member. Please feel free to also add a description and more information about your item or reasons behind the purchase should you wish. A show and tell type of topic To start this topic, here is a 1/2oz proof Kookaburra from the World Money Fair to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Kookaburra series from the Perth Mint. This has a mintage of only 2500. And was also produced in a 1oz version. Minted by Perth Mint, Australia. It features the same kookaburra design of the 1990 coin.

  22. I thought this would be an interesting follow up to the "today I bought...." thread. When you receive your order you can post a pic in this thread a kind of photo unboxing. Unfortunately I am out of the UK at the moment, but I will be back in a month so then I have a whole year of small silver purchases that I can take a few snaps of and upload here. In the meantime hopefully some other members will be able to upload some pics here soon......
