Big Changes are Coming to The Hog Ring!

March 15, 2017 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Website Construction

You may have noticed that we’re making a number of changes to The Hog Ring – all with the aim of making it a better community for everyone in our industry!

Among the changes you can expect over the next few months…

A new forum – With all the settings you’ve been asking for, including a professionals-only registration form, required profiles, greater privacy and direct messaging!

More frequent articles – We’re doubling down on providing everyone with the latest industry news, product reviews, interior showcases, discounts and more!

Regular giveaways – From shears to sewing machines, we’re making sure that all of our loyal readers have a chance to get their hands on the latest tools and products!

An industry-wide mailing list – So that you never miss an article, event or sale, we’re putting together an industry-wide email list that you can take advantage of!

A new website design – We’re overhauling our entire website and even logo.  And while we’re at it, we’re going to make the site mobile-friendly too!

Of course, none of this will happen overnight. And sometimes the website might look a little janky while our tech team works out the kinks. But in the end, we promise it’ll be all worth it.

We ask you to please bear with us. Keep on coming back to read our articles and tell everyone you know about The Hog Ring! Together, we’re taking the auto upholstery industry to new heights!

        Hi again,
        Well look like it works!

        Looking forward to sharing info with fellow members.

        Especially if you are seeking old English stuff.

        Work mainly on pre 1940 cars,

        Not always trimmed in leather though, “rexine” was very commonly used in the 30’s on lower price cars.

        Regards
        Eric

    Will there be an archive of topics so the same questions don’t get repeated over and over?

    • Nadeem Muaddi says

      April 14, 2017 at 2:17 am

      The threads will be organized in a way that’s easy to browse and search, cutting back on repeat subjects.

    Did we loose the “how to’s”? I’m a beginner and really looked to them for guidance.

    • Nadeem Muaddi says

      We saved a lot of them in our How-To section: https://goo.gl/QXmDN9

    I’m not sure if I changed my email or not before this happened.
    I have been slack and not been on for awhile.
    Always good to see change.
