There will be a new forum software platform. Here’s an overview of the changes coming to the forums...

There will now be separate forums for BeadStyle, Bead&Button, and Art Jewelry magazines. Even though they are separate forums you will have the same screen name for all three forums.

The existing forum content will be archived within the NEW forums. You’ll be able to read it but not add comments to it.

You will be able to keep your current username, although it will now be referred to as “screen name.” You must re-register to participate in the forums. The last step of our re-registration process is unlocking your old forum screen name or you can create a new one if you so choose. You will receive an e-mail with instructions.

Yes, your post count from our current forum will move with you to the new forums.

No, there won’t be stars tied to the number of posts you’ve accumulated. It’s quality over quantity.
