I noticed with the PYO gallery that if your picture was too wide the new site would not display it. I hate to suggest it, but try linking the smaller (300px) image rather than the larger one as it seems that 690px is as wide as you can do and most of the large ebay photos are 700px (or more) wide.
Also since this space doesn’t run on BBcode, you’ll need to use html for posting picture links. Here’s a website to give some tips.
If you look at the topics listing, there’s box at the top that says “Replies”. If you have read all the posts in a topic there will only be one number (for example using the Windstone Raffles thread – there are 9 replies).
If there are new posts in a thread other than the red Updated at the end of the title, in the “Replies” box will be the number of posts in the topic as well as a second line which should say “# new”. That “# new” is a link that will take you to the newest posts in that thread.
Is it just me, or is the order of the galleries really weird? It used to be by date signed up, and now I figured with the new site, it would be maybe alphabetically?

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSway,
Because this new system looks at an email address (not the name, but the email address), any accounts that have the same email address are now linked. This is not something we can change, to the best of my knowledge. The email address is the identifying factor for an account.
Because you share an email address, the accounts are linked.However, there is no reason that Jillian cannot your account to make purchases. If you go to “My Account” at the top of your screen, and then go to “Edit” you can see that you can change your billing information and shipping information. You can most assuredly change the billing information to reflect Jillian’s name and address. This information is viewable only to you and to Susie (who processes and ships your order). When you finish the purchase with paypal, she can simply log into her paypal account (which is associated by paypal with your shared email address anyhow) and complete the transaction normally.
Or, you can simply log out and let Jillian log in (unless it won’t let you… have you tried?).
YES, I would most certainly like a section of the store that has an at a glance look at what is NEW and RESTOCKED in the store.
This seems to be something many people want, and I agree. If it can be done we will make it happen.
Seems the ability to italicize and bold and underline and use smilies is gone. Well, emotes are on other pages but no clue how to get them here without learning all their keyboard shortcuts. Was easy when they just flanked the page and you could click on the face you wanted as well as click on either BIU for bold, italic and underline. Do we have to type code now in order to do that, too?
I wrote an announcement here that covers all this: http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forum/about-new-forum
This is long and boring to read, I know since it’s not your concern.
It is my concern! I want to make sure that everyone settles in as comfortably as possible. I know we still have some bugs and some things to fix. I’m sorry it’s causing you an inconvenience; unleashing a new website and 100% new software is scary and buggy and it only went live yesterday so we’re still ironing things out. I hope you can bear with us while we correct things.

My art: featherdust.comI have to admit….I have been browsing through the site since lastnight and I am having a difficult time figuring it out! I am hoping that it will get easier with time! I am feeling a bit squished…LOL!
This site is beautiful but not as user friendly as the old site!
I also noticed that in the PYO Gallery not all the pictures are working, I know that in my gallery there are a few pics missing!

None of my images in my PYO gallery work.. 🙁
And I agree with Dracco. This new forum hurts my head.

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I tried posting a new topic twice. One in the pyo section and one here in general windstone. Nothing looks like it showed up. Are we dealing with some big bugs?
Just trying some stuff out to see if I understand how this all works…

This new forum is beautiful, but it’s scrunched and not too user friendly. Hopefully once I get the hang of it, it’ll be okay. I’m just a little confused right now.
I’m not finding it necessarily difficult to use, but I’m finding differences between browsers. Google Chrome works great, but IE does not. For example, with Chrome, there’s a way to go back to the forums by clicking on the forum path at the top of the page, while on IE, the only way to do so is use the “back” button on the browser, or go to the top under Community and choose forum. Otherwise, you are forced to choose only a specific section of the forum.
I’m sure the bugs will work out. They had to deal with some pretty big bumps on the transfer, from what I understand, so they may not have had time to fine tune the site before we all rebelled at the absence of a fully functional forum. I know you guys were all going as stir crazy as me with just a sandbox. Please give them a chance to bring out the little hammers before you guys get too hard on them for stuffing the old forum into the new website with big hammers.
There are still a lot of quirks.. things that are broken (avatars, code for formatting, etc) and a lot that needs tweaked ( galleries and width problems, cross-browser compatibility), and stuff that is planned but the bugs were being squished first (‘newly added’ section for the store, ‘view new posts’ button, etc).
We have to overcome the really major issues (some people’s accounts are broken and they can’t log in at all!) before we can do the little stuff. The only people that can do this right now are Clay for programming stuff, and me for fixing accounts. I promise we’re not ignoring you guys, and I know it’s a big change!

My art: featherdust.comEarlier today, when I was on the iPad (Safari), this useful thing:
Home → Forums → Windstone Editions → General Windstone.
didn’t appear. It does now, as well as when I’m on my computer (Internet Explorer).
The new emoticons are awesome, but the cute squeak one disappeared 🙂

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSadly the old smilies are all gone. We might be able to get them back later, once the actual problematic bugs are smooshed.
And yes, it seems the formatting breaks on some browsers. It’s a known issue.
