NOTHING BUT CIRCLES

@Ollie @sharee64 ~ @DianneC and I discussed this in a message yesterday regarding asking Urstyle about membership fees. I said that would be a good idea to get the feel from them, even though there is a place for donations. I would be glad to pay a membership fee. However, that would not solve the problem of the slowness of the servers and the hosting provider. Let us all think about this. If it would help Urstyle, then I am fine with doing that.

@Beverly I would love to read that message if you find it....LOL, for what it worth, I am hoping to go back to Europe this fall..and on my list to visit is Warsaw Poland...as much as I lbuy every trip to Europe, maybe I should call it investing
all joking aside..it was obvious near the end of Polyvore, there were some "cheap brand associations" that I think they saw as cash flow, but in fact weakened the original amazing concept they started out with. @Ollie and @Beverly, like you both, I would be willing to pay a fee. Paying for Netflix, or Spotify, for example is a way of life. Membership here would have less audience than either platform..but then Urstyle would not have the same level of high expenses associated with entertainment memberships!!! Thank you both for your insite into this topic and proposing ways to make this place better, instead of giving up!! -
@beverly, @Ollie , @sharee64 @AngieM , @sjlew , @astrocosmic thanks for including me in this discussion. I have read everything everyone has added. It does sound like lots of possibilities as to why the ongoing, often frustrating problems on this wonderful site. A small membership fee may be an answer, a monthly fee would be difficult for some of us, but i do understand the sites needs to be able to profitable to stay alive. I hope some kind of resolution can be found soon. Sadly, a site that doesn't work is like not having one at all and I think that is the frustration growing in so many of us...hugs

Hello everybody! Just wanted to add that I am all in for contributing via a membership fee. Let's help the site staying alive! I could imagine a two level membership concept, in order to stay free of cost for the users who cannot or don't want to pay for a service and for those who want to contribute. just an idea. Have a good weekend, all of you!

I came back here and there is still circles 🤨 Also I can’t add items.
Anyone else still can’t make sets? -
can't do anything, everything i try i get circles and more circles!

Well it is Saturday morning and the spinning circles have invited their friends to join them. At this point, I am thinking I might try another site just so I can make a set.
Someone mentioned Fashmates. This site cannot handle the load. That is fact! I haven't a clue as to when they will ever get to a point of the site running smoothly. I thought I would add to this post again to see how many others get the same feelings. Keep posting everyone! -
@beverly Yes ma'am you are correct. I was awaken pretty early this morning due to Fireworks in my neighborhood so I just got up and decided to get online. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! Mind you, this was at 4 a.m. PST As soon as more people came online things slowed down and now they have completely stopped. There is really nothing online that compares to Urstyle, I've checked. I believe someone from admin mentioned they were "sharing" a server. Perhaps that's the issue. I'm not sure what it is but the Hosting company needs to be replaced. In 2000 I had a very nice website and I used Planet Hosting. They were amazing. Reasonably priced and never any downtime. 99.9% all the time. I've noticed users have been leaving. I won't do that for sure because this site has fabulous potential. P.S. I would be happy to pay a monthly fee if it would help.

@Arjanadesign ~ The servers are being shared I believe from a statement from the admin. There are too many using the site at one time. Therefore, it is the servers. I went to Fashmates and it would probably be the next best one. I tried Trendme before Urstyle and I did not like the space to make a set plus a few other things. I do not plan on leaving Urstyle and the thought of the uploading to a new site takes time. Adding images and items for a new site would be something I do not want to do at the moment. So, I think I will go and find a movie on Amazon prime or Netflix. I keep my fingers crossed in hopes that the next time I sign on, a miracle will have happen. lol
Thank you for sharing in this post. Hugs, xx -
@Beverly , @Arjanadesign , @Ollie , @heartsongs ,@sharee64 , @sjlew Appreciate the conversation. Do not want to lose this marvelous site. A fee would be difficult for me financially a burden so i hope it does not come to that! Please keep me in the conversation! I hope @urstyle is following too. it would be nice for them to respond here as well. have a wonderful sunday all! and this morning spinning and spinning continues, so no creating possible for me...

Hi @journeyon ,
we had a temporary server issue since Friday caused by our hosting provider. This issue was not related to traffic/load and we were informed about that on our twitter account https://twitter.com/urstyle@Beverly right now we are focusing only on the page speed/availability and mobile app. We are also talking with many investors to boost up URSTYLE. Let's keep fingers crossed

@admin ~ Thank you for the message regarding the slowness of the site. I only wish the best for Urstyle. This site has done some marvelous things and I love to be on here. I get frustrated like many do. However, being updated on the problems and conditions helps us understand what exactly is going on.
