PLACE FOR SUGGESTIONS

@vn1ta Thanks Anita, that is what I have been doing, I just thought I may be doing it wrong. I will leave my suggestion as is. Appreciate your time, thanks Ollie

Hi @admin,
It seems to have been a while since we've seen you. Can we get an update from you on how things are going in general with URStyle and the general well-being of the site, and perhaps how things might be going with some of the suggestions that have been posted here?
We all are so grateful to you for this site, and we mention that to you often so that you understand just how much it means to us to have a place to create and play and be with each other again, but there is also the side of us, that as artists, wants what it wants in order to create. This can be frustrating.
Then there's the issues that crop up that remind us of what we saw on Polyvore, where fashion was uppermost, but art never really got much of a mention until later. We understood, and still understand, that fashion sells, and that business is what holds up a site. We also understand that art can sell, too, and it can draw in customers. It's certainly something to give some thought to.
We know that this is all a lot of work. We appreciate all of the work that has happened so very quickly and on our behalf. Thank you for our new home, and our new playground, and for some of us, for our new saving grace. This is not just a place to create, but a necessity for our soul. For you, business, for us - life, creation, nourishment, fulfillment.
Now for my suggestions:
- There is an issue with notifications. I do not receive them for replies to my comments on sets, ever. I do not receive the title of the set when getting a notification for a comment on one of my pieces. My notifications get cut off (on my computer screen), and sometimes I have so many it isn't possible to access them all, which means I lose some. Is this is any way fixable? If not, can it at least be fixed for the set comments?
- There is an odd cross-over between what I can do with my items between my organizer and my collections. It would work much better if the collections were all the same as in my organizer, alphabetized and in order. Is it possible to do that? Then I could keep them "cleaned up" and avoid doubling up on items and get rid of things I no longer want without going back and forth. What I refer to here is mostly just alphabetizing.
- In the contest forum, once the winners have been marked, could the set place settings be rearranged to have the winners at the top of the page, in order, so that people may go and comment to congratulate them? (Starting at the top left, put first place winner, then second place winner, then third, etc....) Otherwise you have to search through the entire board of entries to find the winners and chance missing one.
- Lately I foresaw the possible need for you to have a committee of Group Moderators who could handle some of the disagreements that occasionally pop up here, and who could also act as go-betweens for you and the members of the site. It's something that might help you.
- It was also mentioned lately that a Code of Conduct and a Code of Content would be a good idea to have and have posted permanently somewhere on this site. It's also something to consider. The committee suggested could help with that as well.
- As mentioned above, the browser back buttons return one to the very beginning of whatever page you were on, and you have to start all over again. This can be very frustrating if you've gotten a long way into a page of "Get Inspired", for instance. Eventually you just get tired of it and stop. This means I could be missing out on some great new artist just because I got tired of scrolling...and scrolling...and scrolling.
That's all I have, thankfully, because everything else has been mentioned above on this page. I am a little concerned that none of this seems to have been addressed, even with a "we're working on it!" message, though. You all still okay in there?
-
@gypsy-jo Well said and I second all of it.
You asked about Winning Sets: In the contest forum, once the winners have been marked, could the set place settings be rearranged to have the winners at the top of the page, in order, so that people may go and comment to congratulate them? (Starting at the top left, put first place winner, then second place winner, then third, etc....) Otherwise you have to search through the entire board of entries to find the winners and chance missing one.
When you click on a contest that has been finished and see all the entries, look just above that and you'll see a link that says "WINNERS". It is another page, arranged exactly as you want it to be. Yay!
One down... More to go!

@funkyjunkygypsy Thank you so much, that will make things much easier! Things may be right in front of our face, but it's still hard to see it all! One less thing, though, to try and work through....
-
Here are some suggestions that I have:
Item Organizer
-
I liked the way it was on polyvore: you could "tag" items for yourself (for making sets) and then you could create collections. I'd like to make some collections that I won't be needing for the set making but they'd clog up the "my collection" site where I choose from collections to use items for my set (hope this makes sense)
-
It would be great if the description of the item was in the organizer. When I hover over it, it just says "unassigned" or something like that. The pics in the organizer are too small and sometimes I can't tell whether somethings a short or a skirt - I'd really need that for the making of sets though.
Set Creating
-
Some colours (like there where on polyvore) would be great. Especially if we could make them "transparent"
-
If I'm creating a set I usually use my collections where I sorted my items. If I leave one collection I'm right back at the first page. If you have a lot of collections you need to go through a bunch of pages to find the collection you need. A drop down menu (again, like on polyvore) would be great so I can jump from collection to collection.
What do you guys think?
Do you miss some other things from polyvore on here? -
-
There is a "Terms of Service" on the site already. Click the left bars next to URSTYLE.
-
@teresamargit the ‘shapes’ tool in the ‘embellishments’ area of the editor (‘create’ page) allows you to pick different shapes and change their colors and opacity.
-
@arjanadesign I think @Gypsy-Jo means a ‘Community Guideline‘.

@mint said in PLACE FOR SUGGESTIONS:
Hi there, I just have two quick things:
- It'd be great if we could be able to change the color of large text like
Seconding this! It would be awesome if
%(red)[text]
=worked like
%(red)[text]
-The first code gives
text
While the second option gives
text

@ayzrules a couple days ago we deployed some secret features
look for UR icon in the post composer -
-
@lecoupdefoudre correct, but we are upgrading this composer features and soon we will resolve also that requests
There is also a new "header" feature:
Test header
-
@admin DAMIAN!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
@jesuisunlapin Thanks! I didn't see that
Another thing I forgot to suggest: It would be cool if we could tag/organize liked items. It can be hard looking for something specific especially when you've liked a lot of items.
-
@teresamargit You can. If you click on the item, click on add to collection, you can then add it to a collection you already made or if you click on add new you can then create a new collection. I hope that helps.
-
@fashionmonkey Hey. Thanks. I recently figured that out but I'm still kind of unhappy with the collections.
On polyvore I was able to tag items first and then put them in collections.
I don't know how other users do it but I use the collections I made to organize items I have so I can easily find them.
But I'd also like to make "aesthetic collections" that are not necessarily helpful for the set-making. -
A couple of things that I miss from polyvore that are super simple (and maybe lame?) are being able to see my sets in drafts and pushing all my items. Let me explain because that was super vague. In drafts, instead of just titles I'd like to see my set. I forget what's in these sets all the time so that would be so helpful. And by pushing all my items I mean like leveling them. There was a tool that you could use to have all items line up evenly at the bottom or any other sides, they could cluster or be spread with an even distance between them. I used those features so much they're incredibly missed. (Another thing, though this may be a glitch, tagging doesn't work?)
-
@frealbird I forgot this too
I wish I could use collections other people have made that I've liked while creating a set. -
@teresamargit I also miss the tags so much! It was very easy to use multiple tags at once.
