+++++
1) Would prefer edit page to default set as 'on'
[edit] Thought this was fixed, but it turns out that after the first page has been switched to edit, the rest in My Designs are edit by default.
[edit #2] Looks like someone is messing about on the live website with these settings - Now the page view reverts to edit view as soon as the page has finished loading.
[edit #3] The page switching only seems to happen with private models and for sale models e.g. when I am logged in,
https://www.shapeways.com/model/335454/e6c0bb47c47238bf52fa06 a95f884215/100mm_cube.html?gid=ug takes me to the public page, I click edit, and then try to 'un-edit' - the link looks like
https://www.shapeways.com/model/335454/100mm_cube.html and after a double page load takes me back to the edit page.
Fixed
2) When setting edit page to on - IE8.0 requests for a font to be temporarily downloaded (but it doesn't when edit is set to off) <-- this is due to Prompt for Font Download in the security settings, but still leaves the question, why does the edit page use an extra font?
+++++
3) Link to interactive 3D view needs to be more visable and with notation of what it does.
IE8.0 no 3D link,
Firefox - 3D viewer fixed
Chrome - 3D viewer fixed
++++
4) Area imediately below 'slideshow' looks cluttered.
4a) A short, one line, description is lost and near on invisable.
+
5) Asthetics - the colours of the right side panels look wrong (too much green with the blues)
Fixed
6) A model with & in the title has the & displayed as &
7) the model title has gone from the edit page address - not sure what implications this has fo those previously using full links - not really an issue
Fixed
8) No way to add model to shop categories
++++
9) Comments disproportionately sized
10) Shortened Shapeways URL missing
Fixed
11) occasional 'Fatal Error' where slideshow should be
Fixed
12) no reason for two dates on updated models model filenames and updates show on model edit page
Fixed
13) option to remove own comments has disapeared... well not quite - the option is on the public page view, but the page needs to be refreshed for the 'delete' option to appear.
Fixed
14) Crappy and unnecessary image cropping.
Fixed
15) Pricing visable for NOT FOR SALE items - this is a big no-no! - see also 28)
++++
16) Description editing format does not stick - if I use return to seperate lines of text, I want it that way, so why remove them and make a mess of what I typed? Though HTML formatting does work.
Fixed
17) Because of 16, there is no space between the description text and my user image - looks cluttered.
+++
18) Number of page views has disapeared.
++
19) Why are the units of measurement on the upload pane now two clicks away?
+++
20) No obvious way to delete a model.
Model can be deleted from 'My Designs'
Delete button on edit page would still be useful.
++++
21) Models pricing should be transparent - pricing for EU countries should show the VAT included in the price and not come as a added on price in the shopping cart.
21 a) VAT should be shown on the edit page to allow sellers to price including VAT.
Semi-fixed
22) Models that can be downloaded are now corrupt. A workaround is in place. The model file was being corrupt by an extra character added to the begining of the file. Now the model file is in a Zip folder, and the extra character is added to the Zip.
22a) The edit page tells me the name of the uploaded file is "100mm cube.stl", upon download, the filename has changed to "original-335454_v4.stl"
+++
23) Own Models cannot be downloaded without first enabling model download
(but are still corrupt anyway.)
+++++
24) Item title should be above the image box... afterall it is the title of the model!
+++++
25) Scrolling down to read the description takes the viewer away from the most important button - Add to Cart - the page should be set up to lead the potential buyer to that button.
Fixed
26) Missing analytics tracking code on model pages.
++++
27) Materials selector on edit page is now a jumble. The convenient remove all materials button has gone and so has the materials grouping.
+++++
28) There is no option to remove the default material. (remove it all together, not change it) - see #52 (co-creator reverts to default meterial).
+++++
29) The link that used to take you straight to the model in the inventory management is now gone.
++++
30) CSS errors that need validating/fixing.
+++++
31) Update model process does not work properly - same model, same units gives a non-printable model due to size <- I have been informed that this issue is unrelated to the new model page, but it is still an issue that needs fixing.
++++
32) Compulsorary reason for model update is not necessary and adds to workflow.
FIxed
33) If for whatever reason a viewer has a browser window narrower than the page, there is no sideways scroll option
+++++
34) Currency on the model page should be what the logged-in user has chosen as their curreny.
+++++
35) Country should be detected and assigned the correct currency for locale for non-logged-in users.
Fixed
36) Logo to right of description (Shop logo?) is not what the shop owner uploded - it is stretched and looks wrong. - its gone, but will it be back it its old place?
+++++
37) Description editing is very poor - move the mouse pointer over another part of the page that takes focus away results in the description reverting back to what it was before any changes were made.
37a)Previous description can't be edited
++++
38) Once in edit mode in the description box, the text area and the OK button backbround are indistinguishable - leads to multiple clicks and frustration.
FIxed
39) Uploading a new image show no progress, and no indication of successful completion.
++++
40) Upon successful upload of new image, image should be shown.
+++++
41) Clicking on new image title to edit is fine, but why on earth does the title revert back to the default model title upon clicking the description of the new image??? - (it may be habit to hit return after a paragraph, but it is not intuitive to hit return after filling in a pseudo text box)
+++++
42) The whole description should be visable, neat and tidy - a visitor to your home would not be expected to take off their shoes AND put them in a cupboard, so why must visitors to OUR product pages be expected to click on a camoflaged link to read the rest of the description?
^ Ithought this was fixed... but the I went to the public view and hey presto a comflaged [+ More info] button where my test should be
(it's not info, but my description)
++++
43) Permalink (shortened Shapeways link) - two clicks to get to a point where the link can be copied is unnecessary - as a simple <a href=> tag is all thats needed, right click, then copy shortcut... job done.
++++
44) Edit page and changing availability can be made into one link.
++++
45) Radio button for default material is easier to understand and more visable than a blue triangle on the edit page.
45a) Sloppy coding includes the same 205 characters 25 times (once for each material) when a simple 'Make default material' instruction just once would do.
Fixed
46) What's happened to my image next to the comment box?
47) Digging around in the source code for the model page, I found;
Code:
<meta name='keywords' content='Array, stop4stuff' lang="en" />
Two things, not proper keywords for the page and an abitary
/ added
What's that all about?
+++++
48) Uploading images not compatible with all browsers, see;
https://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=6510&a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;start=0&
Fixed
49) Google Analytics not working
++++
50) Units not clear as to what the dimensions refer to.
+++++
51) Price shown is different between model page and co-create (personalise) page.
e.g.
https://www.shapeways.com/model/347130/ (model page) shows €6.96 for WSF, but
https://www.shapeways.com/cocreator/customize?model=347130&am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;material=62 (customise page) shows € 9.15 for WSF
+++++
52) When heading to the personalise page, the material selector automatically reverts back to the material that's set as the default, not the material that was selected on the model page.
++++
53)
Happens in IE8.0 and Firefox. (WinXP) - not tried Chrome. - When not logged in and viewing a model page, a load of code appears at the bottom of the page.

54) For private models, in edit mode, the shop sections are not shown and thus are not selectable.

One of the biggest requests is to change the model page back to what it was.

*
Choice of currency is not persistant... I'm UK but use USD
*
No obvious way to change pricing. (umm... I think I found it but see below
*
Clicking on 'Update materials and pricing' goes to a blank page...
Even after changing the pricing, and 'updating', and going back to the model page, the pricing remains as it was originally (and yes I did refresh the page too)
*
Changing model availability and clicking 'update' goes to a blank page. Changes are not made.
*These issues cost me a day of messing about trying to fix things on my PC, but were caused by corrupt serverside information.
