JUN 4: Featured sets / Home Page



  • @sheila-l I definitely agree with you. It is frustrating when you create sets, especially unique ones and don’t get recognized for them! Generally, I create sets for my own personal enjoyment and hope that other people appreciate them as well. It does seem as if the same people always have top sets which makes me wonder if it’s based more on popularity than talent🤔


  • @emcf3548 I definitely agree with you!!! Having a top set on Polyvore was such an honor and they only featured "the best" sets which made me want to become even more creative. I had several top sets on Polyvore and as others have stated, some of us don't seem to get recognized for our hard work on Urstyle. Very disappointing!

  • Don't worry! Be happy! ☺

    UR friends- just being real here, no offense to anyone, just my opinion: this isn’t Polyvore and UR doesn’t have the staff to have eyes-on every set to cherry-pick featured sets. I’m just thankful UR is here so we have our creative outlet again. Are top sets really that important? At least with the use of AI (randomly comput-chosen featsets) it gives a greater pool of users the opportunity to get recognized and there are a great deal more featured sets on UR than there were top sets in PV. Moreover, Polyvore, who manually cherry-picked top sets, had their ‘favorites’ who seemed to get top sets with every published set. I like the opportunity to get to see sets from everyone on UR, it’s actually more fair in my opinion because many polyvore users never would have gotten a top set because they weren’t up to the arbitrary ‘standard’ of whomever was choosing top sets that day. Personally I don’t care- there are for example very young people making sets, still learning, and they probably feel fantastic when their set is featured- that’s what it’s all about- it’s not a ‘game’ like on polyvore so it’s more fun and less stress. It also eliminates all of the frustrating emails to UR complaining that ‘my set is better than hers, why didn’t I get top set over her set?’ which was probably a nightmare for polyvore staff and would be a nightmare for UR also. The real contests are in groups so if you’re looking for competition, join groups and submit sets for contests. 😊❤😘🌟 Patty

    @cinnamonrose30 UR is using AI to chose featured sets. Their algorithm gives greater opportunity for new members to have featured sets (according to UR); the algorithm is coded to do this for an amount of time until they are not considered ‘new’ ’ any longer (a time set by UR).


  • @admin Thank you, How can I as a new user get involved***bolded text*** in more of your contest's and highlights?

    @jesuisunlapin @Sheila-L @sassenach @luckied99 @cinnamonrose30 While I have been on URSTYLE for now two years (I started back when they had a featured page closer to Polyvore's) and I don't have much jurisdiction in this debate since I am one of the user's who gets featured pretty often, what helped for me was as @jesuisunlapin said: I started commenting more frequently on other people's posts, I enter a lot of contests to spread the set (I create the set so I can enter more than one contest with one set 😅 ), and I started following more people. This community is very responsive, so when you follow, comment, and like others' sets they will typically reciprocate!

    Even so, I wouldn't base your creativity on what an AI says is good. I think your creations are all amazing and if you love it then it is a good set 😊 Despite maybe or maybe not being featured, the best feeling for me is the personal satisfaction I get when I am really proud of a set I made!


  • @pattykake I understand the new algorithm but I'm just not thrilled about it. However, you did make a good point about the algorithm recognizing a diverse group of users in their featured sets than Polyvore. At the end of the day, I still enjoy creating sets and being part of a positive and creative community!!!

  • CHANGE IT UP 2.o

    I recently realized some of my art and home interior is being posted under the “get inspired” tab. I always tag my art and interior. Maybe those of you that get little attention like me, from the features page can manage to see your creations on the get inspired tab. Just remember to tag your creations with one of the available tags. Recognition builds confidence.

    @admin I can not post my set! moreover: I can not save the draft. it is written that unknown error has occured. It is nearly three years this site is "functioning" and same old problems! I spend nearly two hours making a set and now I can not save it, how many times?!


  • @sassenach I agree contest winners should be honored on a page somewhere 💛


  • @jesuisunlapin I agree, totally. https://urstyle.fashion/styles/3026614
    this says it all @admin
