PLACE FOR SUGGESTIONS

@jesuisunlapin Unfortunately, there is a problem with private sets. Other members can not see private sets on your profile page but and they can see them on the "Get Inspired" page. Hopefully, Urstyle will fix this issue.
-
@debraelizabeth @jesuisunlapin Yes that is true, I published a private set yesterday to use for personal use outside of URSTYLE and when I logged back onto the site it had views and likes but was marked private. I had to then backup the set to save the set as a 'templete' so i can use it again on in the editor tool. Then I deleted the set completely.
-
Hello, @debraelizabeth @luckied99 I didn’t know that. Thank you for the heads up. I have never used this feature. I only save unpublished sets as drafts. I’m sure they will address it soon. The ‘block’ feature, for instance, used to have some flaws and now it works fine. Hope you ladies have a delightful weekend! Cheers!
-
@jesuisunlapin When you block someone they cannot access your profile page but, they can still see your sets on the "Get Inspired" page. If they try to click on your set to view the details, they will get a message saying "Oops! We can't find that page". Have a wonderful weekend!:)
-
@debraelizabeth it’s almost impossible to give 100% privacy on a public outlet, even by giving users a ‘block’ option. Twitter, founded 13 years ago, still have this kind of problem. I understand your concerns, of course.

@mint yo! I've been doing some research on Markdown (text markup language that sites like URSTYLE and discord use) for school & I thought of your response about tables
Turns out, URSTYLE supports the markdown syntax for tables
| Syntax | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header | Title |
| Paragraph | Text |Syntax Description Header Title Paragraph Text Here's a table generator site so you don't have to sit there typing lil | and - all the time
-
@ayzrules Ahhhh thanks dude that's so helpful!
-
@mint yeah ofc!!!!

The ‘Trophies’ feature and a tab (on the profile page) for contest wins would be greatly appreciated. Plus, daily ‘Top Sets’ collections by category would be excellent!
In order to stimulate activity over the long term in a community, you have to use some motivators and help your members shine.
Thank you for all the hard work! Cheers! -
I just realized that the links in the comment section aren't clickable anymore. 
It would be great to be able to click a link easily from a sets description as well as edit a sets description without having to EDIT the whole set back in the 
️CREATE section.
Does anyone have a workaround to changing descriptions without opening a set?
Cheers to the days ahead

Hi,
I think it would be super helpful to have an official guide as to which aspects of Markdown work on URSTYLE, and which ones don't, as well as any features that are URSTYLE-specific. I've discovered a lot of things by cross-referencing various sources, but all of this was just done through trial and error and I think it would be helpful in the future if we sort of had an official post about it!
Examples: Reddit and Discord both have guides
Of course, it's definitely not a super pressing matter, but I thought I'd just throw it out there anyway
-
@gemini THANK YOU! I was coming on to add that exact suggestion. It would be so nice to be able to save our edited (cut) items. It's very tedious having to cut them out every time you use them.

This post is deleted! -
I am appreciative of how hard you work and understand that this platform has needed to find its own way very abruptly. Our previous website probably had months to develop tools, test betas, and of course, the easiest aspect . . . no members had expectations. We spent years without a crop or rotate tool and did not care because we never knew to want one. And now so much is being placed on you and this website.
I remember so many rants of how much the last admin and staff did not care for its members at all and did whatever they wanted without care of helping the community. You are so different. You are so responsive. You work so hard. Even though I know myself and others get frustrated, please know that I see your amazing attempts to make this site a home for us. I don't say it enough, but thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
These are things I know that have probably been mentioned on here or other places before, and I also know it can take time to implement them. But I just wanted to add more to the conversation of ways UrStyle can improve. {And maybe hearing more voices echo something can help in understanding how more people would like to see a feature exist / change / etc.?}
P.S. I made this list on a separate post if you'd like to add any comments on anything!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆
••• It is unclear to me if this is a new permanent change or a glitch. I think it is the latter, considering the buttons for these functions still exist. We are currently unable to make anything left / center / right / justifed with text alignment, and the text header function also no longer works.
••• On rare occasions, coding to change the color of a text has also become visible instead of, you know, changing the color haha.
••• A lot of "advanced" coding has been members figuring it out for themselves. This isn't necessarily problematic, but I think it would be helpful to have a resource for people to know what this site supports. Then I think it is more inclusive than some of us just getting lucky or spending time researching?
••• Putting a = below a line of text is supposed to enlarge it. However, if it is colored, then it actually glitches and becomes smaller than regular text.
••• If a form of punctuation is next to text, you cannot use bold/italic text on that without having a space between the letter and the symbol. Sometimes I use 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓽𝔂 𝓽𝓮𝔁𝓽, and it can look silly to have a nice bold, italic font next to a regular question mark or exclamation point, 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽? Well, if I want it to say "𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 ? " then I have to have a space between the word and actually, in this case, the quotation mark too.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐒, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
••• It would be 1000000 times more helpful if we could edit a set description without having to edit the entire set, considering the items in a set drastically shift every time you try to do so. If you don't have 20 minutes to fix your creation, then it's like you can't even go fix a small typo or add something. On poly, we were able to hover our mouse over the description and click to edit it. Then, once you clicked outside the text area, it would save the new changes. I'm not saying you need to do that same thing; just sharing an idea.
••• I don't think the current form of "coding buttons" is a very inclusive solution to those with visual impairments, and it can be a bit daunting to try and use different functions with such small clickable ranges. Zooming in also doesn't really mitigate any problems with this site. In fact, if you have a dialogue box open anywhere {the set editor, editing a forum response, and even the clipper} then zooming in only makes it incredibly problematic and harder to use.
••• There is a very inconsistent system when it comes to tagging people in groups, forums, blogs, etc. and them actually being notified of their tags. The same goes for setting a topic to watching. I don't want to have to create a group chat or a new topic every time I want a few people to see something. We tag people or subscribe to watching a topic for a reason! It would be nice to have that more consistently work!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑
••• Could there possibly be a system where we get a notification / note / etc. of specific items that the clipper ends up rejecting and not clipping? It's hard to know the difference of being patient and waiting for my items to arrive later versus those that get lost in the void.
••• I know there are plenty of issues with speed so I won't touch on these. I know you guys are trying your best to fix it. Thank you.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑
••• Some basic keyboard functions would also be an amazing step in being more inclusive to users and just making things easier for everyone.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ctrl / com + z = undo
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ctrl / com + v = duplicate
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀tab = switch through which item you have selected
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀arrow keys = move an item one pixel
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀ {I also think you could do shift and press the Bring Forward / Send Backward keys to have something go all the way to the front of the back, but maybe I'm crazy? That would also be nice though tbh.}
••• Private sets were private for a while, but it appears the glitch is back where they show up on the Get Inspired page and can be seen by everyone.
••• Instead of having to cut out something when cropping it every time, it would be amazing to have the option to save the crop outline for future use.
••• You have minimized the shift on items when you publish something for the first time. However, I'm sure we would love for this setting to be applied when we push the undo button or when we go back to edit something again. The number of items that drastically shift can be disheartening when creating. I feel like I can never save a draft and exit the page because then I'll spend thirty minutes on just fixing things again, which can be very annoying.
••• Can we please have the ability to open more than collection? Like some kind of tab system? It's a bit exhausting to have to go to square one on our collections to see something new. It would also be nice to access liked collections, in the way we used to be able to on the other site.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
••• Because there is no difference between organizing items and creating collections, I feel like there is a shift away from aesthetic collections and the like. I think many, many members would like to have a collection editor that is completely separate from the system we use to organize our items. I used to spend hours on making creative collections the way we make sets, and now that's completely gone. You can only control the order an item is in a collection if you manually add it in one at a time. And then you can never move it around. That makes it all a bit exhausting to even try to deal with.
••• Also, if collections are private, I don't think they should show up on the community page for collections or the search bar. What is the point of knowing something exists if trying to click on it just leads to "undefined collection"?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏𝐒
••• I understand that group titles become their URLs, so they're important. However, since we are able to change our usernames, it would be so nice to have the same option for groups. Especially if you do something like say WIP or have a typo. It seems like a waste to create an entirely new group just because of that.
••• There seems to be an odd system of deleting groups. It simultaneously exists and doesn't? For example, I would really like to leave this group, but then I can't because it no longer exists? So then why is it on my profile? I guess I just don't understand. It would be nice to have a delete button in the admin system.
••• If someone invites you to a group and you just ignore it, you should ideally not get a notification again and again. I understand that they might be inviting me again because they forgot they invited me, but I don't want the notification more than once if I'm already ignoring it.
••• Can we submit sets to a group instead of having every set we have every published show up in every group? It would make things more relevant across the board. {That being said, I would only want this feature once we have a page where we can see sets from people we follow.}
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒
••• Can there be less of a system of creating new threads with users? Maybe it's nice to have a fresh start in some situations, and the group chat option is wonderful. But when you end up with three blank messages with someone because of a lag in the site, it gets old fast. And it's basically impossible to find something specific in your archives when you have 20 chats with one person. I think the default setting should actually be to use the same thread, and there should be a special button to start a new one.
••• More importantly, the 1000 character limit is so short and so limiting! It would be great to have it extended!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋
••• Of course, it is no suggestion list without asking for the page where we can finally see sets from the people we follow. I actually LOVE the Get Inspired page and how it has everyone. I discover amazing new members without it. However, could there be a tab on the top of that to switch between followers and everyone? I feel like I miss so much work by people I'm really trying to see.

@lecoupdefoudre WOW, you did a great job here. You really nailed it and you found such great wording. I admire your effort and the whole way of putting and structuring the subject matters. Great job, thank you!!

agreed.
something like this or this but for urstyle would be absolutely wonderful. people have been posting stuff about coding & tutorials for a while now, but ofc none of us will reach as many people as the URSTYLE team
••• Putting a = below a line of text is supposed to enlarge it. However, if it is colored, then it actually glitches and becomes smaller than regular text.
^ this.
Also, this alternate way of creating headings doesn't work either, if you want it colored:
# %(red)[Hello world]Hello world
vs.
## %(red)[Hello world]Hello world
arrow keys = move an item one pixel
this already works, but I'm not sure how many people are aware of it. regardless, it'd be great if URSTYLE implemented & published something about keyboard shortcuts in the editor
One other thing:
- Is it intentional that trying to wrap the code in backticks for set cards/product cards/grouping set & product cards inline doesn't work?
raw codei am trying to wrap this in backticks to display the raw codeThank you

@ayzrules said in PLACE FOR SUGGESTIONS:

Yeah, so this is just a me problem most likely🤪 I specifically said one pixel because right now it can be a kind of random guess of moving 1-3 pixels and you’re just kinda screwed. I’d love the consistency of just one

I wish there was an easier way to add items to a collection than the item organizer or on the item it's self. I like to go through all my items and likes close up and add to collections from there.
-
Just out of curiosity - will we ever be able to create templates for sets on URSTYLE, just as we could on Polyvore? I've found a potential workaround to not having this capability on URSTYLE, but it would be AMAZING if this function was included within the URSTYLE editor!
Thank you so much! We are all so grateful for all the awesome new changes & the hard work that y'all put into this site
