Thunderdome registration updates and app improvements

New Order Info section and changes

  • The Order info section has been added, where you can add your item's price, availability, and lead time.

  • The Lead Time field now allows setting only an ordered date, to allow for items that have not yet been received.

All users: You can add these options to existing items by editing your item.

Thunderdome registrants: If you already registered your item, you can edit your item to add this information.

New options for Leather Goods Thunderdome registrants

  • Belt owners can now add their length measurements. This can be used to track stretch over time and record fit notes.

  • Jacket owners can now select Clothing as a category. This will allow you to track top garment measurements, such as chest, shoulder, and sleeve length.

If you already registered your item, you can edit your item to select these new options. If you registered a leather jacket, we highly recommend switching to the Clothing category for the best experience.

New options for Pre-Worn Thunderdome registrants

  • Registrants can now add resole/relast history to their pre-worn footwear.

If you already registered your item, you can edit your item to ad this historical information.
