New Thing #1. Dappered Threads has a new look and feel
The fact that we have a forum might even come as news to some of you. All credit to Paul and the moderators over at our proud to be snob-free forum, Dappered Threads, for the massive upgrade. Special gratitude to bruschetta and tdig who by all accounts were extra helpful. It’s now simpler to add images, you can private message someone if need be, and it’s just flat out easier to read. More details on the updates can be found over here.
New Thing #2. We’re on Pinterest
Somewhere along the line Dappered.com picked up a Pinterest Elf. And while this elf has other responsibilities, Pinterest Elf has been enjoying getting Dappered up and pinning. Pin away if you’re the pinning type.
New Thing #3. “Featured Posts” = Classics & More
Right there. That box under the (one of only a few) ads will rotate them through. Many thanks to reader Cam who sent in a request/idea to give these old but still apparently relevant articles some presence. You can find more here.
Old Stuff Worth a Mention
There’s Twitter, Facebook, and the daily email signup. Meanwhile, if you ever have a tip on something style related, you can send that in right here. That email is also a great place to send in a question or comment. We do our best to get back to everyone, but sometimes emails do slip through the cracks. If you have a question that you’d like a female perspective on, of course we’ve got Beth. She welcomes your inquires. Speaking of the ladies, Dappered’s internet better half is fullclutch.com.
Thanks for the continued support, ideas, and for sharing the site with others. Flattered as hell when someone mentions they found the site because a friend recommended our tiny corner of the web. Top Photo: Alan Levine
Nice to see the forums upgraded
I’m telling Mrs. Dappered you called her an elf….
Very Nice
Does this mean I have to join pinterest now?
Well, I registered. However, under Posting Permissions it says:
You may not post new threads
You may not post replies
You may not post attachments
You may not edit your posts
Hhmmmn… Heck, I was already *that* limited prior to registering. Any hints?
you registered but didnt log in.
More like a Melf. Am-I-right? Up top!
Up top? Well now you’re just taunting elves everywhere.
Pinterest…. for chicks.
Thanks for the reply jake, but actually I did. It shows me logged in, with those exact notes at the bottom of the page.
I was registered in the previous forums and I’ve tried doing the password reset in the new forums (per the directions). I have yet to receive an email (I checked my spam folder too). A little help please?
Here’s a screenie, showing logged in with no posting/replying permissions.
If you want to be closed-minded about it, sure. There’s a “Men’s Fashion” category that I look at regularly, and other men’s clothing bloggers are on there as well like Men’s Style Pro and Style Girlfriend.
Oh you boys.
Dave, when did you graduate from wvu?
It looks like you haven’t clicked the email confirmation link. Were you registered on the old version of the forum? Have you received the confirmation email yet?
These? http://threads.dappered.com/search.php?searchid=895 Google will re-index the site eventually, but the new system has new URLs for things.
yoyorobbo, I looked up your user account and verified that you haven’t completed your registration. Please click the link in your registration confirmation email to confirm that you’re not a spammer. Hope this helps – b
Erick, your threads still exist, but your user post count has been reset (as has everyone’s). You should still be able to find all of your posts by looking at your user profile, or by searching using the forum’s search tool.
Does dappered have a tumblr?
I think it may either be an issue that I’m seeing because I haven’t been able to sign in yet and/or the re-indexing issue that Paul David Olson mentioned. Either way, thanks for the clarification!
Pretty cool about the forum! Can I suggest to add several main categories filtered by body type (tall & thin, short & thin, tall & big, short & big, body builder etc)? As a tall/thin guy, I would find it very helpful to have a group of guys who all face the same problems trying to find clothes that fit their body type. We can point each other toward sources that serve our types well.
Thanks for the info Paul. I contacted you guys via the “contact us” area on the forum and reported my issues and just received the password reset email, so I’m not sure if you guys did something, but thank you. Cya in the forums!
bruschetta & Paul: Thanks, fellas. Yep, I *just* got that final step email at 1:10pm, even though I registered last night around 9pm or so. I checked throughout this morning, on and off, including the spam folder, but never saw any further communication/steps. So it looks like maybe it was just delayed a tad.
I *was* able to log in earlier, as shown in the screenshot above, but was *not* able to post. Now having “completed the process” it appears all is well and good. I guess I simply wasn’t patient enough. Doh! Again, thanks, and beware my future stupid questions via postings.
I just opened a thread on there dealing with this in the meantime for anyone interested.
Oh and Paul, the new forums look very nice. So nice, that they drove me to register. I am no longer a lowly lurker.

Darn. Those thigh highs are sold out. That was going to be a selfishly given stocking stuffer for the Wifey. Guess I’ll have to check back for restocking…
Thank you so much for moving the search bar to the top of the page!
Perfect solution, Matt. If it gets wildly popular, we can make it one of the main categories.
For those interested it’s called “Clothing Sources for Tall and Thin Gentlemen”

Haha, Joe, your street sign reads as “EW!!!!!” on the home page.
