Now when I log in the site on my Samsung S10+......

@emberviolet Hey there! Have you tried what I suggested?

@wayfarer Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it seems to me that you may be a frustrated UrStyle founder/investor who is so freaked out by your lack of revenue that you can’t see beyond your own panic and frustration and therefore, completely missed where Users have stated that they are willing to pay for membership to this website. Why are you repeating yourself with a response that indicates that YOU clearly missed a point being made?
You rant about what we should be doing and yet, there are no subscriptions offered for a membership to UrStyle, just a donation site, which is fine when looking to raise money for a cause, but it’s no way to run a business --- and it certainly does not insure those who donate of any formal membership and all a membership would entail (such as a well-run, stable website).
The money UrStyle expected to make was from their ADVERTISERS, not their Users. <:‑|
You are blaming the victims, and in a way, so are some of us. If UrStyle cannot financially stay afloat using their business plan (which did not include that their Users pay for anything), then UrStyle is suffering, too. With one person ‘manning’ the site (if I understood that correctly) while Damien seems to have scurried off to look for other financial opportunities, website issues can be expected. When Users are not informed by UrStyle’s administration (not by some coward hiding behind a new user profile – Ah... That would be you.) then Users questioning why the website is dysfunctional can also be expected.Users are not feeling entitled.
They’re used to a functional website and are frustrated because what they were used to, and were led to expect, is not working as it should.Your ignorant remark about a “selfish community”, combined with your nonsensical statement: “The disease is most of you.” clearly shows that you want to create conflict rather than work toward finding a solution. This is not the behavior of a frustrated UrStyle founder/investor, which blows that theory. This is the behavior of a dysfunctional person, so in one way, it’s quite apt that you’re here spitting your poison.
So, with my theory blown, I’m left to conclude that you are either a very immature person or you’re just an assh*le. Hmmm… Sorry (not sorry). There’s another possibility.... Perhaps you suffer from a mental illness, some kind of personality disorder, or a brain issue. If so, are you taking your meds? If not, then ironically, the disease is you, isn’t it?
Being frustrated about a website not functioning as it should is understandable. Your kind of hatefulness is not. Why so angry? Maybe you are an investor… If so, your approach sure is a dumb way to ‘motivate’ Users to pay, especially considering that no formal payment options have been offered.
Take off the dunce cap and give up on the whole “cycle” point.Again, the way UrStyle designed their business plan was to offer a free-to-use website while generating money from advertisers who were thrilled that Users were incorporating their products into their creations. Didn’t work out so well for you/UrStyle, it appears… No reason for you to be abusive to the Users. No reason for you to say anything at all if you can’t say it nicely. So that’s MY point. Besides the one on the top of your head, I do hope you can see it.

@emberviolet After checking this website to see if UrStyle is having an issue or if the issues is on your end (https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/) you tell me that you got a message stating that Urstyle is down for maintenance and noted that others have access. This is likely due to the server that transmits to your area from UrStyle. That server (there's more than one) may be down (for maintenance) or may have been turned off to save money, leaving certain servers running at different times. I would be interested in where you and @cindu12 are located in the world, such as, if in the U.S., are you both in the same state?
It may be that UrStyle is trying to stay afloat, perhaps even developing something that will help them generate money, and turning off servers at certain times/locations in an effort to distribute access to all Users some of the time. Maybe they're unable to afford to give Users access all of the time. If this is what's going on, it doesn't bode well...
If you fear a shut-down, save your Sets by downloading the webpages they are on or opening their images in a new tab and saving the image.

Oh, I thought am I the only one not seeing individual sets.
Can't see mine, can't see yours.
I removed the cookies (PC) but nothing has changed.

Hi Everyone, I’ve been communicating with @FunkyJunkyGypsy and wow is she helpful. I’m still have problems with the gray triangle and exclamation mark issue, but it’s not her fault. I did get a response from admin, but it was to open in another browser which didn’t work. More importantly, i wanted to post about their financial status. Their financials state this from 02/21/2021 :” Urstyle Sp. z o.o. (Poland)
Urstyle Sp. z o.o. is a company based in Poland, with its head office in Poznan. The enterprise operates in the Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals industry. It was established on December 06, 2017. In 2019, the company reported a net sales revenue drop of 57.93%. Its’ total assets recorded a growth of 3.18%. The net profit margin of Urstyle Sp. z o.o. decreased by 90.3% in 2019.” It is obvious the pandemic has impacted them. I would say this is a cause for concern for this forum. -
@funkyjunkygypsy OMG, I LOVE YOU!! Your response was spot on and if that "person" knows what is best they will not challenge you or anyone again.

@funkyjunkygypsy I am in California in the bay area, roughly 50 miles from San Francisco

@jfcheney Wow, no wonder things have gone downhill. That is a significant loss for revenue but as we have been saying in just about every response on this thread, we, the users, would be happy to pay a monthly fee in order to help them generate maybe enough revenue to stay afloat.
That seems a much easier alternative than having to shut down. The thought of losing this site gives me chills, I for one don't ever want to start this whole process over again...
-
@jfcheney As I told you privately, the gray triangle issue is concerning. Makes me wonder if their website was hacked. Gray triangles suggest "weak RC4 encryption" which means vulnerability issues (on their end, not ours). I doubt they would tell us if they were hacked --- and who would want to hack them anyway? They need to have their webmaster work on that pronto ... if they can afford to.
-
@cindu12 I LOVE YOU, TOO!
I normally do not engage with idiots but to criticize people asking for help, and to do it in the way s/he did, is beyond wrong.
-
@funkyjunkygypsy It is very strange. On my Samsung S10+ which is a fairly new model and all the software updates are up to date, but all I see are the grey triangles on there, whether I use Chrome or, if you can believe it, the app is actually working now, well it is coming up with content instead of the 503 message, but again, all grey triangles.
Now on my tablet, on chrome, I can see everything just fine, and it is a much older model from Samsung, so no idea why the difference on the two devices, but I have to admit to myself that there is definately something a foot and it doesn't bode well that the communication has completely stopped.
I hope this comes to a good conclusion for everyone, but I tend to trust your opinion on things much more than anything they may throw out occasionally.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, even though it was a bit daunting, I feel it is still better to know the possibl truth of things instead of being blindsided as we were with PV.
Take care darling and have a wonderful weekend!!
-
@funkyjunkygypsy You were so smooth and were able to put into words everything I was feeling! Let's hope she takes the hint...
-
@funkyjunkygypsy thank you! Exactly what i was trying to say 8 posts back. I think all but one of us is on the same page and we we're willing to take the solution of paying a monthly fee. I don't think I can go through this again and there are no Moodboard sites like URStyle. At least I haven't found any recently. I just feel so bad that it has come to this, but we were going by the assumption the advertisers were being charged and that was enough. So we can't act on information we don't have. I just hope we're not too late to turn this around.

@cindu12 Try not using the App and logging into UrStyle using a web browser. If the problem is still there, then it's more confirmation that it's a server issue on their end. I don't understand how their servers work, but regardless, you being on one coast and @EmberViolet being on another while experiencing the same issues also confirms that UrStyle needs to attend to their server issues. And again, maybe they are turning off some connections in an effort to keep some of us on all of the time because they can no longer afford to keep all of us on all of the time. From what @jfcheney reported, UrStyle is in financial trouble IF they do not have or find a backer/investor to feed the machine. The fact that servers are still operational at all and didn't phase out completely on you causes me to suspect that the Powers That Be at UrStyle are trying. They are not going down without a fight. So that is hopeful.
-
@cindu12 Hint?
-
@funkyjunkygypsy so they're doing like rolling brown outs like the utility companies do when they're trying to conserve energy and prevent a total grid shut down.
-
@rainheartart Could be...
-
@funkyjunkygypsy true, subtly is lost on most people...I should have worded it with a question mark...
Hint?...
-
@funkyjunkygypsy not arguing your point, but why do you think my tablet works, through Chrome, but not my phone and both in the same location, on the same wifi? Again not questioning your knowledge just trying to understand all of this so I can give my brain a rest...
