PinupLifestyle Website Updates (NEW!)

[PL Team]

In this thread we will document all feature and interface adjustments to the site.

[PL Team]

Just a note, that main page is still there, you just need to click on MAIN (top left)

Keep the feedback coming please! Honesty is good, detail is even better, Richie "WTF" just doesn't tell us what you're really thinking, what do you like/dont you like? We could just not ask ;)

[Betty Maraschino {Madam}]

hmmm, must be my laptop. its got that already installed.

Oh and when i click on main it goes through to the photos page or says the page doesn't exhist. idk if its just me, but i cant view the updates ect as all i get is photos.

thanks sweetie

Haha, it really was too! I liked it but it just wasn't ready for prime time, it was splitting people into different rooms etc. ultimately defeating the purpose of having a full chat room. I'll be keeping my eye on it for refinements and updates tho! It did have all the features we are looking for.

Why'd you ditch webcam usage in chat? That was so coooool!

I have a question Edson do you get points for leaving comments. Maybe if people knew the more you write, leave comments, etc. the more points they get etc.
If that makes any sense what so ever.

[PL Team]

You sure do! Commenting photos is probably the best way to climb the ranks in points!

INTERFACE:

After a few weeks of testing load times and tracking use of the chat feature, we've opted to move it down to a chat bar again similar to Facebook etc..

It was not getting enough use on the main page to justify the amount of real estate it took that people without accounts couldn't access. (aka new members!)

So there ya have it, chat has moved to the lower right corner or you can access it by clicking on Chat under the COMMUNITY tab.

You got it boss, we really do listen to feedback, we argue about it at times while we write things up on the whiteboard, but hey, we're here to build what the people want!

Load times have also gone down significantly in the past few weeks from changes. We want PL FAST FAST FAST!

Hey guys, I like some of the recent enhancements. I had a couple of suggestions regarding the mobile version of the site. Not sure if any of this is possible, I'm going to give you the iPhone perspective. A link to the forum categories, currently I have to switch to the full version to get there. A tab or link for the featured photos, a way to be able to delete or edit comments without switching over, either a link or section where we can view our current point total and ranking. What do you guys think?

NAVIGATION:

Made some handy little changes to the top navigation area, we've collected tons of feedback and implemented changes we hope will address some of the issues brought up by members about finding things around the site.

MY PAGE: This tab now has submenus that take you to your content, a perfect shortcut to add photos.

SHOP: Received a small change in titles and order of the options.

MEMBERS: This was fully revamped with fresh links to all members, featured members etc...

PHOTOS & VIDEOS: They were split apart from BROWSE to be easier to find, each received submenus to the commonly accessed areas including Featured Photos, Albums etc...

We'd love to get feedback!

Pondering a small redesign...
