    @lensman: oops, sorry missed that, were trying to determine if it was a specific browser. But seems it was a cache issue.
    So it does respond properly now that the cache was flushed?

    Regardig the html: They have switched from wysiwyg/rich text to html source display/edit for the edit box.

    Yeah, I didn't try any more edits since the first one took I assume any more would. Any particular reason why the change from WYSIWYG?

    I'd like to echo those asking that their photos and product descriptions NOT be cropped.

    Why should a potential buyer have to click yet another link, just to finish reading the product description?!

    op updated.

    I still have no 3d view button on any model pages I visit, including newly uploaded models.

    The 'Fatal Error - No theme Found' crops up maybe 3 times out of 10.

    How can I delete a model???

     
  7. Some elements have a height of "20 pxi" ... :confused

    Is "pxi" a valid unit or a typing error ?
     
  8. Seems like one have to click the "permalink" button first.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a button...

    Cheers, looks like it take a little time for the link to be made after a model is uploaded.

    I will add to the growing chorous that the new changes are almost all bad ones. Not only will it actually take longer to update all my models with keywords (having to type in three keywords literally triples the amount of time I have to spend for absolutely no gain to me, when before I could just cut and paste), extra clicking to do anything useful (edit should be the default, and I don't want to have to click through upmteen toggles to edit everything, either). The new interface is ugly, cluttered and I totally agree with everyone that the description should absolutely NOT be hidden away, as it's important.) The product description should not be given second place in terms of space to your materials choice.

    On top of everything else, I notice my avatar in the comments box is incorrectly sized; given that it's the right size in section above, that is just sloppy.

    I am not best pleased with this change, I am afraid, not at all. (Especially coming on top of my last five orders being late, despite being in SWF which is not, supposedly, delayed.)

    Whilst messing about with keywords, I found that multiple keyword can be used in one entry box, they need to be seperated by a comma followed by a space. Seperating words with just a space will give a keyword phrase.

    I seem to be missing my analytics tracking code on model pages.

    op updated and some points expanded.

    I also notice there does not appear to be a button that lets you add or remove all materials, which means I have to go through and manually deselect all of the materials down to the four or so my models are cleared to run on. Again, more time wasted that I didn't need to do priorly. And if there is such an option, it isn't at all obvious, which is just as bad. (As with the keywords, if you can cut and paste, to get multiple words, they should be something so that it is obvious, otherwise how on earth will anybody - especially some one new know about it? )

    And the more I look at it, the more I loathe the description box xhanges; being in a grotty, easily missable grey text, the "more" button is not especially visible (if you were going for a youtube-style - though why the heck you should even consider wanting to do, because this is commericial webshop, not a social networking/video site, and shuld be taking it's cue accordingly - you failed even to make it to youtube's dubious standards.) Editing it is now much harder, since the editing box doesn't seem to expand, so if you have more than about five lines, you can't see it all at once. You also appear to have removed the formatting options as well. The description should not have less prominance than the comments box, as in a lot of cases, it's very important.

    I also second the motion the model title should be at the top, not underneath the picture.

  15. Could you add "Try to validate the CSS stylesheet.", please ?

    There are lots of invalid properties and values.


    Examples:

    ul#categoryList li ul.current li a:hover,
    ul#categoryList li ul.current li:hover,
    ul#categoryList li ul.current li ul.current li a:hover {
    background:#f5f6fb;
    background-image:none;
    }


    "background-mage" won't work.


    ul#categoryList li ul.current li ul li {
    background:#F5F6FB;
    border-bottom:5px solid transparant;
    }


    afaik it's called "transparEnt".


    div.buyableprivateaddtocart {
    position:absolute;
    top:21px;
    background:url(/img/sprite-03.png) no-repeat 0 -577px;
    width:20px;
    height:20pxi
    }


    I guess that should be "px".

    ...

    Regarding private models:

    It seems to work same as before (more or less)
    By setting a model to "offer for sale.."
    But not "display to.."

    Then switch back to non-edit mode will reload the page to the secret url.

    For all those tired of having to click the "edit" button, I made myself a simple html page with all my model urls and now modified the urls to:

    /model/edit/<id>

    That way at least on an editing day I can more quickly modify things.

    @stop4stuff: thanks for compiling the issues! :)

    There is a workaround to remove all pricing, but leave a model available... deselect all materials for the model in the Product Inventory Management (via My Shop in My Shapeways)

    op updated with more, including CSS errors

    Well I wasted an insane amount of time last night trying to delete some models. What the heck? This should have been announced on the sign in page! An email sent or something. Please tell me that you have some people working on the weekend to fix the issues that are present. Going out on a limb, I'm going to say that most of us designers also have jobs during the week and set aside time on the weekend to get a lot of design/uploading stuff done. This is poor customer service to change so many things with no apparent explanation other than a post on the message board and no clear forecast for when it will all be resolved. And a Friday of all times??? Sheesh.

    Duann,

    I think it a reasonable request to revert model pages back to the last iteration until all of the issues are ironed out and put to community testing before public release. (yesterday if possible ;))

    Cheers,
    Paul
