Commissions link failure - Drakenhart

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:57:30 -0000

Okay seems to have been fixed maybe? Don't know? But I did notice, while browsing through the "A" to see who had Galleries that I knew to +watch them, that the "to-do" link on the bottom of the commissions page doesn't work for mine (new artist) versus another's that has a blue star. http://drakenhart.artspots.com/commission/todo vs http://airu.artspots.com/commission/todo And how does one edit their "Comission Terms?" I can find it. This may be of the similar issue I noted above? :)

Could be a bug that may be related to Compagnon vs non? Originally before the merger you could only offer commissions if you had a Gallery on Artspots. Maybe there is a co-incidence somewhere, where the code is interpreting it like this? I had the same issue on mine (did a test) and on others as well. ;)

A questions on the "views" rating. - Drakenhart

*chuckles* I apparently wasn't clear. *laughs at self* Silly me. Good answer though to something I hadn't even thought abuot. Its good to know! :) I didn't mean that view "rating". ;) That is kind of obvious. *chuckles* What I meant to ask about was the "popularity" ratings (number of views) that you can see under the Gallery stats when one is logged in to one's "home page". The listing of numbers that suggest how many times the image has been seen (viewed), fave'd, and commented on. Does that /also/ take into account those who load up the Artist-Listing page? (IE everytime the image is "loaded" versus actually clicked on. I ask this because I have to wonder if the results I'm seeing are not entirely accurate? More in that, who is actually -looking- at the image itself (on its own page) versus browsing past it while looking for artists? IE: Unique clicks, to put it a bit more technically. Is that clearer? Cause I think I confused myself a bit. ;) *chuckles*

A questions on the "views" rating. - Babbage C. Cheetah

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:56:10 -0000

Yes. The view rating (G, PG, PG13) filter all images from the site, no matter where they might turn up. Recents, Artists list, searches, etc. It is if the images that are above your rating don't exist.

This should work properly now, fixed it earlier today. If there are still issues, let me know.

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:32:38 -0000

I had a random thought today. Does the 'view' rating count for images that show up under the "Artists" listing? Even if they are themselves not clicked on (actually viewed)?

The certificate is only valid for www.artspots.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server. * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later. Or you can add an exception… This error only occurs if I am on my settings page. Is there a reason for this?

bug on blocking page? - Inaki

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:39:32 -0000

Honestly, for the inflation stuff, I'd say flag it, rather than just block it.. If its obviously of a fetishistic material, it doesn't belong on here.

WEll the block page going to Jax has definately got fixed, was done in the push last night and some other pages that were randomly going to jax seem to be behaving too.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:04:35 -0000

Yeah did to me too, just told Higgins as I was trying something else (Found something that upset Firefox then discovered this myself while checking it'd been sorted). At the moment all the links from when you're on the blocked tab go to Jax, for wierdness sake. But he says he'll get to work at a more reasonable hour so you're not the only one :)

So I was blocking some stuff on recent uploads today (sorry, I'm not too jazzed about this merger thus far...). When I'd hit a skull, I'd be properly redirected to the "blocking" page. However, all the title links on this blocking page, even though the banner says "ArtSpots", when clicked redirect you to JaxPad! I didn't realize this at first, so simply clicked on the 'recent' tab on the block page to (I thought) go back to AS recent. Well, that link brought me to JaxPad instead! And before I noticed the different banner, I got mighty confused that all the skulls I'd just doled out apparently weren't working!! I thought the sites had been officially merged, but I guess that'd not the case. Might wanna look into fixing this! --o/A

Good to see things rolling along!! :) I know I'm one of the many at the tail end of things ( and now I have new stuff being produced that is a lot better then what I applied with). *laughs* Ah well. :) That is how it works.

Given con events and the like recently it's likely to be caught in the backlog so they'll be no need to reapply. Just hold tight a little longer, with everybody back now they should start getting cleared :) It has been admitted it is a long winded process due to the sheer volume that goes through but I'll see if I can get hold of somebody to ask.

I was attempting to make a sketch folder in my gallery, but did not want the images to show in the recents. I unchecked the "show in recent uploads" box and the images are still showing up in recents. Tried two uploads, went over the box again, and still happening. :3

Gallery Journal Help - NeoGeen

I may be mistaken, but the journal linking service might have been disrupted with the background merging and such? ...And I just went poking around looking for a setting or such to make it show up - and I can't find it. Originally I believe the journal posting showed up on your name.artspots.com profile page.

I set up my livejournal as my gallery journal, and set an 'artspots' tag. I made a lj post with that tag, and it doesn't show up anywhere. Where is it supposed to show up, and am I doing it wrong? Am I misinterpreting that the gallery journal is supposed to display somewhere on my page, or just looking in the wrong place? Thank you :)

Couple of things.. - Babbage C. Cheetah

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:03:34 -0000

Good suggestions, each. First, yes that would be good to add in, the next/last. Either put it in the text and get rid of the arrows, or get rid of the text and add a 'fast-forward' last arrow so that it is more 'natural' positioning. Either way, this does need to change. Second, this is a somewhat moot point now because of the site merger. (There was a news announcement earlier, and I've been patching things up here and there throughout the day to get things flowing smoothly. There's more changes to come, a larger update that is going to go out. Just that we wanted these particular changes to happen during Anthrocon.) Although I do agree, regardless. :) Third, see number two. This is an issue that was very, very difficult to solve. We came up with a couple solutions (just two), but neither was very intuitive or secure. Now that it's all 'one site' logging in on both is no longer required. Just ArtSpots will work from now on.

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:16:05 -0000

Really? OK that's odd because I definitely had to log in to Jaxpad separately so I could comment on someone's art.

Couple of things.. - Feather Dancer

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:14:36 -0000

It should be logging into both (Seeing as my account is usually logged in via Artspots then I go back to Jax for my gallery stuffs) so tis odd it's alternating. There is an upcoming announcement at some point of changes but I'm sure Babbage will pop up in the meantime to have a look :)

Main thing is on the recents page. You have the page numbers at the bottom with the big forward and back arrows at the far right and left of the page. After the numbers you just have the option to go to the last page and I repeatedly keep looking down there for a "next" to click on. It's what I'm used to on other sites and no matter how many times I come here I still go to use that non-existant link instead of the big arrows. Any chance of adding that in? Secondly when you view Jaxpad instead of Artspots there is no library section. Seems like the suggested reading would be good if not more suited to the artists registered on Jaxpad. Thirdly I think someone may have asked this before in the distant past but I can't remember what the answer was. Why do we have to log in separately to Artspots and Jaxpad? If I log into one it would be nice if it automatically logged me into the other site. They are only niggly things but thought I'd mention them anyway.

Artspots and Jaxpad combined so that artists here can apply for a potfoilo/gallery of their works. But since it is a 'quality' site, the application process is much like a portfolio review. :) See the "Apply Button". It explains it better. Some of us have been waiting a while, and were wondering what happened? Even if it is merely an update or a notice, saying "hey we are here, and we are getting to them as fast as possible!" :) hehe.

Sorry for the long delay! I can answer some of this. 1. The volume discount is for all pieces, they do not all have to be the same piece. 2. One week is the usual turnaround time for large orders, plus shipping. 3. Yes. Just send it to the address under 'Contact Us'
