@ZippityDooDah I wasn't sure where to post this but are you thinking of doing a testing group on the forum? Id be interested in participating if so.
Oh no. That’s weird. Have you tried messaging an admin directly? Maybe an error and your permissions aren’t set properlyI can't post or reply to anything in the discord channel so I can't even get into the testing that they have going on.![]()
Not sure if this is an ok thing to ask here but is there a link to the discord group? Should I ask gpa1971 for an invite?gpa1971 seems to have a pretty good handle on the Discord testing group so that's probably the best place for it for now. I did offer to provide a dedicated section here any time if they run into any issues with the Discord getting deleted by big brother etc., so they have a safe place to evacuate to if needed.
Asking for an invite would probably be the best way. They're not running an exclusive club by any means, but I don't want to step on any toes and simply post an invite link either.Not sure if this is an ok thing to ask here but is there a link to the discord group?

I sent you a DM on discordYeah. I just wasn't sure if it was an issue of them having it locked down for some newer people. I'll message them.

So, how do I do that? I have purchased from a vendor from this forum. I would now like to test their products before I use them. What is the process?Anyone wishing to join PTDS needs to go through GoodKitty at peppys.io for orientation, etc.
Unfortunately due to a lot of issues with sleazy vendors trying to be sneaky and get their products tested for free, people joining just to get access to test results they didn't contribute to, along with a wave of new members who have no idea how sourcing and testing from China works they've had to close off normal invites and establish some gatekeeping.
PTDS is first and foremost dedicated to harm reduction by encouraging education and facilitating crowdsourced testing. All the test results are paid for by members so it's not just the kind of thing people can join and find out the best places to buy your stuff.
Start by knocking on GoodKitty's door at peppys.io to start the process to join PTDS. Once you're there if your specific product isn't already gathering people to contribute to test you can propose a new test to see how many people might join to help share the cost.So, how do I do that?

I have done what I consider to be the best I can with what I know. Honestly, I feel a little... weird, but I do understand that not all manufacturers and vendors are honest and some do not follow best practices.
I don't have a problem doing it on my own, but it sure would be nice to have someone to share the load with.
try chat.peppys.iopeppys.io will not open for me, is there an updated way to get into PTDS?
