New STA web site launched

[Dale-of-Cedars]

Just as an aside, the new website's lacking threadcounts is a real step backward IMO. I understand that they are trying to entice membership by offering it for free to members, but given that I can get the threadcounts for free from the Register, the real result is that I am now less likely to visit the STA's website and no more likely to join.

Yes, I wondered whether the"Thread Count: Available to STA members only" was a new thing...

As far as I can recall, the threadcounts were never shown on the public site, only to members. So this does not represent a change in their policy. And, as you said, you can obtain them from the National Register for free, though I will note they are not always the same.

The threadcounts were on the public website prior to this latest revamp. You may not have realized that because you may have been logged in when viewing the site, but I assure you it was the case. I know this because my brother and I were discussing the fact that there is a discrepancy between the threadcount that was listed on their page for the Carolina tartan versus that on your carolinatartan.com.

Okay got through to the gift shop and they said Brian is on holiday until next week....so I guess I wait....apparently he's the only one that can fix things....

You beat me to it, Ron, I was reminded late last night that Brian was on holiday and was going to post that here this morning. My suspicion is that his inbox is full. The gift shop at the STA HQ is being staffed by House of Tartan folks, and no, they wouldn't know how to address this issue for you.

If you never got the July email, I would guess that when you switched emails the STA didn't get the word and so perhaps they were using your old email. Brian should be able to fix that fairly easily once he's back. Cheers!
