QUESTION TO URSTYLE ADMIN
-
@admin Hey Uurstyle team/admin Question? Can someone from admin or team, in general, please explain why there are so many technical problems/glitches? I don't understand the technical part of websites so can someone explain why all of these tech problems can't be fixed once and for all? I mean this website has been up and running for some time now so why so many problems? Personally, for me, my problems seem to start at night time. I'm from the states and around 8:00 PM every technical problem known to man happens. Oddly enough it seems to work pretty well in the daytime.

A large scale website with several hundred pages, custom design layouts and imagery, a content management system, unique functionality, and supplementary features (such as blog integration, active members all uploading, chatting, and more) is expensive and very challenging to maintain, especially when you didn’t find a way to properly monetize the website yet.
A large scale website means large amounts of traffic and so many different demands.
I’m always grateful this is a FREE website. They are on Patreon, but only 4 members are supporting them right now. I’m one of those members.If you want to have a glimpse of the technical part, here is some interesting reading. If you want to have a glimpse of how much it costs, click here. Cheers!

@blucinzia it’s certainly a temporary issue.

@blucinzia I was there from the very beginning, I even helped translate the website to French, Portuguese, Italian & Spanish. Polyvore was funded by Benchmark Capital, Matrix Partners, DAG Ventures, Goldman Sachs and NV Investments. It’s a completely different situation.

@jesuisunlapin where does one go to donate to urstyle?
maybe they need could make a tab for that or something we can't miss...like at the top Donate, Home, Shop, Community, that way each day i would see it and it would remind people to give...an idea -
@heartsongs I already suggested the same thing here: https://urstyle.com/topic/2409824/sep-25-new-features-clipper-tool-improvements-and-my-feed-page/12
You can become a contributor here: https://www.patreon.com/urstyle
Also, there’s a banner / button to Patreon under the ‘used in set’ items area:

@jesuisunlapin Oh wow, thank you for breaking that down as you did. I see why it's so challenging now. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't criticizing, just curious. Despite the fact you're An active team member, I'm sure you can still understand the frustration on our end. As I said, I do appreciate all the hard work you all are putting into the site. I'm glad to hear though that it is just A temporary thing. Looking forward to the future with you guys.Thank you again for the response. Much appreciated.xx

@jesuisunlapin Appreciate the insite, I had an idea about costs and tech side due to work but it never hurts to learn more. As for the Patron side they really need to communicate more sometime, so people know what is going on. I always think lack of communication is not good for any cause or issue. But now I know, I have done something about it. So thank you

Thank you for this dear @jesuisunlapin !!!
I didn't hear about this and never thought about it. So thanks for the reminder!
I'm now an official supporter too!

@admin Hi Admin, Is the advertising of items on our sets part of an agreement with customers to raise income please? To be honest, I am not particularly liking the idea but if it is necessary for finances, then it is necessary. Many thanks Ollie

@jesuisunlapin I tried to donate but they do not let you decide on an amount they can afford. they have a monthly contribution and i cannot afford that but could make a yearly amount of $25-. i am curious why they won't allow someone to pay what they can? i am sad i can not contribute some...

@admin I notice today, I have my set items against my interior sets and not fashion items like yesterday. So, if you have made this change it is much appreciated. Thanks Ollie
-
@heartsongs I think there is a link or something for donations on this link https://urstyle.com/topic/1631567/help-urstyle-development-get-beautiful-gifts however jesuisunlapin will know.

@ollie I totally agree, lack of communication is always damaging, especially for business management. Thank you, dear.
