      I’ve been trying to replicate your error to see what is going on. Are you still having trouble? What PYO/options are you trying to buy (if you’d prefer not to say here, feel free to PM me). What browser are you using, and are you on a PC or a handheld device?

      If it’s still not working, I’m sure Susie would help you if you want to call or email her.

        Many of the factors that lead to a “slow market” have echoes in the collecting and art markets as a whole.
        Sales in an election year in the USA are almost always poor for most artists/sellers of artwork, as there is just so much instability and uncertainty.
        Demographics have a big play, too. Unfortunately, the generation with the most disposable income is also an aging generation, and fewer young people have the financial ability to collect much, or often, or at higher dollar amounts. There are always exceptions.
        That said, it’s never wise to “invest” in art or a collectible for its resale value. Buy because you like it, because the market is fickle!

          That looks like a Serpentine Curled dragon. They retailed for $60, and are in “postponed production” which means they aren’t retired, but there aren’t plans to make more at the moment either. Unless they are high in demand, it’s probably worth close to the retail amount. http://windstoneeditions.com/shop/postponed-production/curled-dragon-serpentine/

            I believe that Clay is the only one that understands the inner workings of the Classifieds section right now, and he isn’t always available to us. Please bear with us while he gets a chance to look at this.

              Here is Janet’s dragon, which looks like an “old green” young dragon to me!

                How do I add the picture? The IMG above wants a URL. I can’t copy and paste, that doesn’t work.

                To add an image, click the IMG button when making a post. You will need to upload your image to the internet, such as a photobucket album, facebook album, etc. Copy and paste that URL.

                If you can’t do that, you can email the image to me at nambroth@gmail.com and I can post it here for you.

                  Just do be careful and don’t overdo it! I have a friend that “Drew till it hurt” frequently. Several surgeries later, and they are only now, years later, getting control over their drawing arm again.

                  Also a good read: https://animationguildblog.blogspot.ca/2016/08/then-theres-this-regarding-board-artists.html

                  With the advent of cintiqs, board artists are ruining their eyes, [staring endlessly at computer screens]. I have gotten letters from so many artists, a number of them from Pixar. They are having retinal detachments.

                  Wacom says the cintiqs were designed for four hours of work a day. Staring into an LED blue light is the light that damages the retina.

                  I called UCLA a while back and asked them if any studies had been done on the effect of cintiqs/LED light. I explained that artists stare close to the monitor for eight hours. The research/clinical trial person told me there would be no trial unless wacom paid for it.

                  We are canaries in the coal mine and I am hearing more about it. Artists will not speak up about it because they do not want to rock the boat.

                  Spoken from one digital artist to another: Take care of yourself and be careful. 🙂

                    Hi, I also am getting a white blank screen but my iPhone is 5-6 years old so not sure if it’s my iPhone or not….

                    What part of the website are you trying to look at when you get a blank white screen? Does it happen every time?

                      Is there no longer an option to ignore users on the site?
                      If there is, how do I access it?

                      I don’t see that we have that option any more. I found a plugin for it, but it is old and I’ve seen mixed reviews about it breaking other parts of the forum once it’s installed. Maybe Clay can investigate this for us sometime?

                        I’ve sent this to Clay by PM but I figured I’d update here too. Here is the ad in question:

                        http://windstoneeditions.com/members/Natashavonlemke/listings/edit/689/three-gb-fantasy-colts-two-fantasy-gb-young-poads-for-trade-for-gb-baby-unis-now-with-pics/

                        It will let me use HTML to put up pics, but no more than Three pics. When I put in the fourth (or more) code for images, it says my ad is flagged as Spam. I still have plenty of characters available, but more HTML than the first three and it won’t let me make or edit the ad.

                        Is there a reason why you are not uploading your photos instead of trying to insert them via HTML?
                        If there is a reason you can’t upload your photos, can you try to post just the images, without the photobucket code? All of that html code can look like spam to our improved anti-spam site, it seems. All of the extra stuff that photobucket adds to their code is a bit messy. Direct links look like < img src="http://www.yourphotourl/yourphoto.jpg" >

                        So on Photobucket, click the area that says “email and IM”… this is a direct link to your photo.

                        E.g.: http://s280.photobucket.com/user/natashavonlemke/media/1155F4C1-84E5-43D2-B227-582DD231895D_zpsdtt5gh98.png

                        Though I will note that Photobucket says you’ve deleted the photo… so it won’t work anyhow!

                          I would like all of mine renewed. I did not see any emails about them expiring but will go back and check my other folders. Could there not just be a button on the website by the ads that we can click to renew them?

                          It’s not quite that simple. Clay’s hard at work trying to find a work around for this, though!

                              I love to play! It’s pretty hard with as rural as I am. I think there are only 2 pokestops within 10 miles of here, though there are a few more in town! I’m level 21, and I’ve been playing pretty hard from the start to get there. Not much is out here! My pokedex is at 85 and that was a lot of work, haha. We don’t even get a lot of things that are common for most people. It’s still a lot of fun, though!

                                Oh, good question… I wasn’t aware of this change. Maybe Susie can shed some light on this!

                                  Did it work out okay? I know Clay was working with the ads yesterday (the 22nd) according to this thread: http://windstoneeditions.com/the-windstone-forum/topic/new-website-concerns/page/11/
