  1. but did you also check the real time mode in google analytics ?

    i use the perma links provided on the description page of the model (like this http://shpws.me/3FPG ) but they dont work anymore, i get this message:
    No local config file

    i also checked on youtube by other designers posts on youtube and this kind of perma links not work anymore..
     
  2. On my shop everything it seams ok, currency euro/dollar, prices and material. I've checked Analitycs also, but I think that it is better to check again on the next days.

    I just checked the real time mode now, 9 visits from various parts of the world so far today since 08:00 GMT (2 hrs 40 mins ago). I haven't a clue about the permalink though as the ones I've checked (so far) work for me.

    hmm... Is there anyone who can connect to API using the function login($username, $password)?
    It returns
    string(20) "SoapAPI::wsdlconnect" string(28) "Connection successfully made" string(22) "No login could be made" object(SoapFault)#4.
    id & pw both are correct.

  5. mmmmh... I've this strange issue, if I click on "Log out" it reminds me at the home page and if I click on community - forum I'm automatically logged in again. Is this normal?

    I'm not on my personal PC and I'm using IE8.

    Nice to see https://feedback.shapeways.com/forums/111989-shapeways-feedba ck/suggestions/2457232-test-site is marked "We are working on this 3 months ago but instead you release an untested buggy new update. It looks nice but that is no excuse to break existing links and confuse people by not maintaining currency info.

    By the way you should look up what country a person is logging in from and set the default currency automatically if they have not yet been to the site and saved a cookie. North Americans set to Dollars.

    personally I find feedback.shapeways.com is a bit of a joke. You mark things as working on but never do, and you often don't even mark things as complete once finished. and some like: https://feedback.shapeways.com/forums/111989-shapeways-feedba ck/suggestions/2472605-correct-non-monotonous-pricing-scheme are super easy to fix and have tones of votes but nothing changes. To bad google does not have a -1 option shapeways would definitely get my vote just because of there lousy testing and update policies.

    The issues seem to be concentrated around IE8. Forums, uploads, login cookies, pricing displays all seem to be broken when I use IE8. This is a major concern that any of my customers using the most popular browser on the planet may have trouble ordering my product.
     
  8. Hi guys,

    Thanks for all the feedback, both positive and negative!! We are working on correcting all of the bugs that you have reported and also taking into account some of the individual feature requests as well.

    Regarding the Friday release, specifically. We completely agree that a Friday (or weekend) release is not ideal, or the right way to do things. We will do our best to ensure that our future big releases will take place early in the week from here on out.

    Finally, one of the items included in this release was the test site so that a handful of users can login and test the release, along with our internal team and developers' automated tests. We pulled the 'launch' trigger too early on this release and didn't give our community enough time to test the site thoroughly. Our bad.

    We definitely have room to improve here and will continue to release sooner to the test server and also slowly grow the testing group so that more people have an opportunity to poke holes in the site before we go live.

    Thanks for your patience. Ana is going to lock this thread and we'll continue to respond to your concerns and answer your questions in this thread to keep everything consolidated:
