A fairly long list of suggestions
-
@lecoupdefoudre yes I agree to the above.
Few more suggestions :
-
When you type a comment or blog, be able to scroll the text up and down. Help for longer posts so you can see what you have typed.
-
The type/font bit on sets is dodgy. It says you have to turn mobile screen round to type. Although phone is actually not on landscape when using it.
3.follow people seems pointless. Only thing it aids you to do is get notifications when they blog or make community post. Not give you that person's sets to view.

Very well-thought out and well-communicated suggestions!
I would like to add/re-suggest (I posted a Suggestion List in another thread and cannot find it, LOL!) additional suggestions to this list, as well as add support to some of yours.Forum Posts
-
I guess I'll start with following one's Forum Posts.
How do we do this, if at all? How do I find threads I've created and/or participated in? -
Yes! The 1000 character limit is limiting! It should be extended.
-
When I'm about to submit a new post or a response to someone else's and someone Messages me while I'm typing, I must first reply to them before I can hit the Submit button. This happens too often not to be overlooked.
Item Alignment
-
I have also found great frustration with the automatic alignment "feature" and have refrained from updating/editing Sets and/or their Descriptions, or adding stories to older sets, simply because of the item alignment issue.
-
Same thing happens when a Set is saved as a Draft. Reworking a Set that has been saved so you can further work on it is unnecessary and time-consuming. Not all of us have a great deal of time to enjoy this website. I would like my time here to be as productive as possible.
Item Adjustment
If I, for example, use an overlay in a Set, I would like the ability to adjust it's opacity. Polyvore had a slider bar that allowed us to do this and it made a world of difference. Sometimes, you just want a hint of something and to get that effect here, you have to layer other elements on top of and/or behind it. The Opacity Bar would be so appreciated.Collections
I would love the ability to:-
re-arrange items within a Collection.
Like you, @lecoupdefoudre, I also used to spend a great deal of time organizing the items in my Polyvore Collections to make them not only aesthetically pleasing, but arranged in a way one might use those items, which was a matter of function that kept me organized. -
re-arrange collections as they appear on the full Collection page.
-
leave one collection when working in the Create Set window and wind up just "outside" of that collection instead of back at the beginning of all of them. The Tabs suggestion is a great idea.
-
use items in my Liked Collections. If the Item Organizer can access those collections, and this is meant so we can USE the items, then shouldn't the Set Creator also have this function?
-
have a Notification sent to artists when their Sets are featured in a Collection. I collect Sets by type for inspiration and enjoyment. I would like those whose sets are featured in those collections to know about it!
Groups
I would LOVE to welcome new members to our group, Twisted Gypsies. A Moderator Notification when new members join a Group would be so appreciated!

I do not think there is some kind of "database" for us to see all of the information we have followed, just as there is no place to see sets from people we follow.
However, whether as a forum on the community page or in a group, you can click on the individual page and see this at the bottom of the first post:
If you change it to watching, the site says you will then receive notifications if there is a new response on the forum. However, that almost never works. But maybe one day it will haha

TELL EM HUNNY!!! lol i think these are great suggestions. i especially liked your bit on inclusion as not all members are comfortable learning code on their own/using it like others. this site must be inclusive above all!
and also viewing the sets of the people you follow on the home page is a HUGE one for me. i feel like it’s one of the biggest reasons i leave urstyle for months at a time because i can’t find the connection to the people i want unless i go through my following list and search one by one to see if my fave users have created a new set/blog/etc. it’s a little alienating when the home page doesn’t feature someone you know or at least an option to switch to viewing sets by people you follow.
this would drastically change the group’s functions too - specific sets for specific groups, what a concept! otherwise it’s just another blog function with notifications that don’t work lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i would also like to add a couple suggestions of my own:
-
liking items in the set editor: i go through pages and pages and sometimes i see an item i like but don’t want to use for the particular set i’m making! there should be a hover option so that i can like the item and use it at a later time
-
a back button on mobile: i’ll look at people’s profiles and go thru sets and collections but i have no idea to go back to their profile!! there’s no general “back” option if i want to return to a page i just visited
-
-
I like the suggestion of "cutting items" Once you cut them you shouldn't have to do it every single time you use the item.
-
Thank you for very valuable bunch of suggestions. I will update our TODO list considering this topic and all ideas!
-
Thank you for using your platform and wondrous skills for this - love that it got @admin 's attention directly already and that many people have contributed. So I don't want to be repetitive but I wanted to quote Jo's old post since it reminded me of all the basic set description changes that we could use. And of course, all the great things @urstyle has already done for us to make this site better than Poly was - knowing a lot of our suggestions weren't even on that site xx
"SET DESCRIPTIONS:
• Allow for paragraph spaces
• Allow for standard text editor uses (italics, bold, underline, etc.)
• Allow for emojis on desktop (create a button to input)
• Tag users in descriptions! When this was first used in PV, we used it to dedicate sets to our dear friends & followers :`)
• Allow for links to be inserted in a word/phrase (would make it look cleaner)
• Allow for sets to show the date it was published"• Personalized notifications for specific users would be cool and a temp fix to not having a feed for users we follow
• Option to properly delete not only groups like you said but user profiles!
• Editing contests is highly requested for group changes as well -

Isn't there one? You can hover over the item and a little rectangle with the item title and a heart shape will pop up—at least, that's what it does for me. You can like it from there. Sometimes, though, I just click on the item to add it to my set, like it from there, then delete it XD.
-
Thank you all so much
-
Excellent suggestions that I'd like to second. And props for mentioning the difficulties for visually impaired users, it's so often something that gets overlooked.
-
@admin I added something about Opacity Adjustment to my list above, rather than adding ideas as they come, so as to keep it organized for you. I LOVE that you are considering our needs. Make your Users happy and they will do all the work for you, as far as featuring your advertisers' products.
-
If you go to the Shapes category, you can already change the opacity of the items in there
-
@lecoupdefoudre ALL items one is using, or just the shapes offered?
-
@lecoupdefoudre @FunkyJunkyGypsy a lot of your suggestions has been implemented

@admin OUTSTANDING!!! You are THE BEST, Damien! Thanks for paying attention to our requests, which will certainly lead to more use and more Users, helping you with your advertisers, whoever they may be!
