Záryby (Czechia) using my design in the town

I went on a Geocaching trip and stopped in Záryby for a few photos. I designed the arms and flag for the town and got it granted by parliament. I'm always happy to see my work in use but I was especially pleased by the heraldic metalwork on the town hall windows!

International post stuck as "delivering today" for over two weeks

Hi all!

I'm in a bit of a complicated situation with Royal Mail and I'm not sure what to do about it.

On 1 June, I sent an envelope by registered post from Czechia to the UK. By the 6th, it had arrived in the UK and was, according to the Royal Mail tracking site, due to be delivered that day. Since then, it's been stuck on the same status message.

The recipient has tried contacting Royal Mail, but they told him there's nothing they can do and that I need to file a claim. I've tried emailing them, but all I get is an automated response telling me to file a claim, which I thought I had already done by sending the email.

When I use the "file a claim" link they sent me, it just sends me around in circles without giving me any way to actually contact them. I've also tried calling, but the wait times are extremely long and, since I'm calling from abroad, it would cost quite a bit to stay on hold.

I've submitted a claim with Czech Post and they've said they're investigating. The issue is that I don't really want compensation. I'd much rather Royal Mail checked with whoever was supposed to deliver it and tried to find out where the letter got stuck. But I can't seem to find any way to get them to do that.

I understand this isn't na official RM customer service forum, but any advice from people who know more about how RM works would be greatly appreciated!

Every single invite link is "invalid" for me

Hi everyone, I have a bit of a strange question. Whenever I get a link to a Discord server (for instance a link for a subreddit Discord server), every single time it has resulted in "invalid invite". In a few cases, when I copy the link and paste it into "join a server", it lets me join, despite previously the link being "invalid". This has been the case for about a year now. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice!

J. Carrahar - emblazonment of arms in "flat municipal" style + token icons

A commission for J. Carrahar of the shield of his arms in the simple flat style I employ for municipalities, acompanied by another commission, two icons in my round "token" style. Keep an eye out because the flat municipal emblazonment will appear soon in a new form!

I've worked on this client's arms before, in my "tile-style" .

Tile-style emblazonment for another client

Another tile. Finishing a way to make all the elements fit well was tricky with these arms.

Newest tile-style emblazonment - DavidWu10 (Discord)

Continuing the series of "tyle-style" emblazonments, DavidWu10's arms are blazoned as "Azure, fretty raguly Or." Both simple and complex at the same time!

Tile emblazonments of arms

A style which arose out of converting municipal arms for seal engraving, later developed into square "tiles". You may recognise some familiar faces shields among them. :)

As some here might know, I design municipal flags for Czech towns.

https://forms.gle/DxJLv6TZuixhyaBVA

I'm considering getting some of my designs for towns printed for myself as table flags and if there is interest, I might do a larger order and sell some. Please help me pick which I should have printed by filling out this form, thank you! Feel free to share this!
