UPDATE: "Virtual Gifts" have been removed from the site.

Thanks to everyone that provided feedback via Twitter @PLTEAM and our blog post here about the Gifts feature.



We have decided to remove "Virtual Gifts." Overall feedback during this test period was that it made the site appear less professional. Our goal is to host high quality members and content without too many bells and whistles that may detract from the core focus of networking.



If you have any concerns regarding use of any remaining credit, please contact us… Continue

FEEDBACK: Virtual Gifts, tell us what you really think...

We've had the gifts active on the network for a little while now, we'd love to get your honest feedback.

- Do they make the site less professional?
- Do you hate them?
- Did they grow on you?
- Do you love them?

We'd love to hear what YOU really think, let the feedback flow!

UPDATE: Welcome (back) to the New (old) Forum

We hate to do this to you guys, and we know you all wish you could punch us but we PROMISE this will be the last BIG change for awhile. We've switched back to the original version of the Forum...



BUT! Please rest assured, it was all for you. While the replacement forum was really nice and allowed us to do all the things we really needed it to (some of which weren't possible in the old forum), we decided it was best in the long run to switch back. The biggest complaint we've gotten… Continue

NEW: Import your photos directly from Flickr !

We were approved to link up with Flickr for direct photo imports. This feature has now been enabled and will allow you to directly import photos from your Flickr account. When you goto the Photo Uploads page, you'll see a new option in the lower left corner for linking to your Flickr account. Click there and follow the very simple directions.



A small step towards making your lives easier by linking some of the most popular technologies to our paradise island on the… Continue

UPDATE: Tabs renamed for easier navigation.

In an effort to simplify the site we've made a few changes to navigation. I think they are now fairly self explanatory. We're moving away from "niche" terms to name the site more Universal. Some of the changes you may note...



• EXCLUSIVES tab is now FEATURES - This area will soon include some very cool things like ThatCat's Random Fact of the Day etc...



• THE MARKET tab is now SHOP - Shop here obviously



• THE SOCIAL tab is now SOCIALIZE -… Continue

UPDATE: "MEDIA" tab changed to "THE GOODS".

After we removed 'The Social' tab, we didn't have a place for Blogs so we renamed the 'Media' tab to 'The Goods' and added the Blogs there.



We also re-added Groups to the top navigation and put it under 'The Goods' as well. It wasn't very user-friendly to have to be on the main page to get to the groups. Now we have our quick shortcut back so that you can easily view all groups. Which, btw, if you haven't joined any.. DO IT! =)



So now under 'THE GOODS' you'll find.. well,… Continue

We have updated the Marketplace/Classifieds to be cleaner and easier to use. You can find "Free Classifieds" listed under "The Plaza" tab in the top navigation.



Features include:



- View postings by category: For Sale, Trade, or Free and subcategories: Clothing, Accessories, Electronics, Misc.



- View posts made by your 'Fans'.



- Post "Wishes" (aka want ads).



- View your Fans' Wishlists.



- Search postings by location and/or… Continue

UPDATE: "THE SOCIAL" tab goes bye bye!

• Blogs have been moved under MEDIA

• Forums had their own tab all along and it was redundant to have under THE SOCIAL.

• Groups have always been on the front page of the site, so that was redundant also.

• Chat is at the bottom of every single page and easilly visible, yep, redundant...


Enjoy the cleaner tabs up top!

Feedback as always is welcome and encouraged!

NEW: Global Member Map!

Place a pin on your location! Lets see just how global PL is, you don't need to provide exact address, even city would be fine. Each pin will link to your profile complete with profile photo.



This map can be found under the MEMBERS tab, and also on the new social bar at the bottom of your window. Lets go see who lives around you...



CLICK THE MAP BELOW TO ADD YOURSELF!…

UPDATE: New dark interface and misc small changes.

As you've probably noticed on PL's birthday (9/24) we flipped the switch on a fresh new look. "WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS!?" This is the beginning of a few interface changes that will lead up to the official release of our new identity. When PL was originally launched the logo was created as a placeholder for what was to come, we figured we would have a few months to finalize things before opening the doors, who knew that we'd have thousands of members a few months in.



To keep the… Continue

BETA: Need feedback on new Social (chat) Bar please!

As you can see at the bottom of the site we're testing a custom task bar. This allows us tons of flexibility with adding features and keeping them out of your way.

Currently the only noticable bug we see is that you cant "popout" the chat. This should be fixed shortly, we do know about it. If you NEED to pop the chat out, please click on THE SOCIAL at the top of the site, and go down to Chat. You can pop it out from there.

Please lets get some feedback!

BETA: Need your help testing a new forum layout.

Most of the complaints about the current forum are about it being a bit complicated both in layout and features. We want to streamline the process, you won't notice any difference except some of the features becoming easier to use.



The BIG difference is allowing use of HTML code instead of the slowly disappearing BBCode. This means embedding your youtube, slideshows, pl album slideshows will work using the embed code from any site!.



The current forum remains… Continue

We’re excited to announce that the Status feature is now live. The Status feature empowers you to share your activities with other members on PL and engage with people around those activities.

NEW: Status feature coming soon...

We tested the integration of a STATUS area for about a month on the site to see if a microblogging (twitter) feature would be well received. The feedback was fantastic! We found people using it daily to update what was going on in their daily lives.



This test has since been shut down and in the coming days, we’ll be rolling out the Status feature permanently. You will see a Status box at the top of your Profile pages. This is the place to share an exciting announcement or post about… Continue

NEW: member search shortcuts added.

We've added a nice set of shortcuts under the MEMBERS tab at the top of the page. If you hover over it you will now see custom searches by member roles in the industry. For example if you want a list of all photographers, just select photographers.



Once on that page you could modify your search by region if you wanted, or you could do your own customized search by selecting Advanced Search from the MEMBERS drop down...



We appreciate any feedback or comments you may… Continue

UPDATE: Latest Members returned to the front page.

We've received feedback on the most recent change that moved the "Latest Members" to the sidebar, the most common bit of feedback was that you were only able to view a small number of new members. You yelled, we listened. The Latest Members have been moved back to the main page where we plan on leaving them for the longrun. 27 new members are now visible which should be about 2 days worth.

We appreciate your feedback on this change.

UPDATE: Latest Classified postings are now visible sitewide

We've repaired the broken link we had in the classifieds section tonight and are once again able to display the latest listings. The 10 newest posts can be located between the 2 banners on the right side of the site on all pages. It's high traffic so start posting the items you have for sale or are looking to buy!

We appreciate your feedback on this change.
