Site-Wide Activity

@wendy-cholbi, the search box is working now. Thanks! I had to refresh the page a couple of times the same as when you changed the font size in the forums, which is something I never think to do so am glad someone reminded me last time!

Responding to a few quick things:

@kristan-macintyre and anyone else who reported issues with viewing the Discussion and Holodeck pages on mobile devices: I made a tweak to the Holodeck page that makes the chat box take up the full width of whatever screen you're using. Before the tweak, I verified that words were getting cut off on the left side…[Read more]

@wendy-cholbi, you must have found a way to turn the name-numbers into name-names! It makes the function so much easier to use. Thanks!

And thanks also for doing whatever you did to make the links to newest posts in the sidebar easier to read.

I can't make the search box work. It won't let me click into it or write anything. Am I doing…[Read more]

As a buyer…

Agree, just make “not shipped until…” Date REALLY prominent versus vacation mode. I hate vacation mode. I forget to go back. I'm better at being patient to wait on longer shipping for something I want versus going back to a vacationed shop.

As a buyer…December I'm all shopped out, discretionary money goes on gifts.

Sorry about the disappointment! It sounds to me like you there are a lot of possible reasons why your launch didn't turn out the way you hoped, and until you have a better idea of why that happened, I hope you won't decide that it's a product flop! Or any kind of flop. I know from personal experience that when you're hoping for a particular…[Read more]

Conventional Etsy wisdom is that Vacation Mode screws up your search rankings, so it’s best to stay open and tell people you won’t be shipping right away.

Aha! I hadn't thought of that. I've only used vacation mode once previously, when I was gone for two weeks straight and there was zero way for me to ship anything remotely. If a couple days of…[Read more]

I'm sorry your launch didn't launch too well! I hope it turns out it was just a timing issue, and you sell tons of the new stuff soon.

I haven't looked into e-junkie but it sounds like that's something I should keep in mind. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out for you. And thank you in advance for posting instructions if it does. I'd love to be able to have that option!

@linda-barutha aweber does that also. It was the sending of the unique coupon codes (Ravelry generated) that I was struggling with. But I think it's going to work!

I don't know about Aweber, but in Mailchimp I'm able to send the new subscriber something automatically. It's under “Automation”, @karen-robinson

If anyone is interested in this, it looks I might can use e-junkie to send out the codes. It will allow me to store a list of up to 10K codes and will let me know when they are running out! Still figuring it out, but will post instructions if I can get it to work so y'all can use it too!!!! That way I can send them pdfs AND give them a code for…[Read more]

@libby-jonson, I'm not sure exactly how to do something special for my retailers. Earlier in the year I sent them monthly videos showing product classes that they could use and teach in their shops. I also send them tutorials in the newsletter. I'm currently scheduling a road trip where I will be teaching at the shops that have shown interest.…[Read more]

I'm actually looking at e-junkie today. I need another pdf download option besides Ravelry for non pattern e-books and such.

How would that free download option via the list work?
