My issues, if anyone has a solution let me know:

- I don't get email notifications specifically when someone quotes me and stating this.
- Can we not tag ppl in posts here?
- There are no hyperlinks in my email notifications while on mobile, so I can't just click. I have to cut and paste which I never do.
- Those email notifications are so wordy unlike before.
- Does it always go to the first page of a thread?
- I miss the pop ups at the bottom saying there are new posts in a thread while you're in it.
- Slow to load and then pop-up ads :wtf:

- No way for this to happen.
- Nor this.
- Not sure about this.
- :shrug:
- If you click on the blue icon with three down arrows in front of a thread subject, you should be taken to where you left off in a thread.
- Popup ads will help Specktra with site costs. That said, I think we're still ironing that out.

Funny thing is the only time I am encountering ads is when I log in on my iPad. I have no clue why they do not pop up on my desktop or laptop?!

One thing I def do not care for is the inability to pop in images using a straight url. It always shows as "invalid" or if I try to upload an emoti sometime they are "too big."

Do you use an ad blocker on your computers? If so, that may be why you're not seeing ads on them. (I don't think valid subscriptions have been honoured yet, including perks from the GFM fundraising.)

And what do you mean by "inability to pop in images using a straight url"? Do you mean using image tags to embed an image you've uploaded elsewhere? Because that shouldn't be an issue wih emoticons. With photos, they may be too big in terms of height or width, or in terms of file size.

I don't mind change if it's better, but if normal functions become more difficult that's where I have an issue. I hope there are more kinks that need to be worked out but I think this may be it.

We are still working on getting everything working to the best of its ability, so please bear with us while we get the kinks out.

I only just realized it was missing when I wanted to see swatches in the Dita Von Teese thread yesterday and kind of looked around like "where is it?" OMG, we share so many swatches and photos here to help each other that I don't know how not having a gallery is helpful!

Unfortunately, not all features we previously had are available. We are doing our best to get as many features added as we can.

Ha, never saw this until now. Thanks for answering though.

Thanks! I have noticed little improvements here and there. Yay! I just wish it was easy for me to participate like before. I racked up over 5k posts in a few months but have been stagnant since the change ;)

1. It is possible to notify you on top right notifications easily instead of email.
2. Possible easily.
3. Can you give an example? Screenshot?
4. It is possible to change them if needed. Some examples would be nice :)

I'm not seeing the Clearance bin (it's been awhile, but I used to have access and sell stuff there). Any word on this?

I prefer emails because I check them more than Specktra.

This is what the notifications looked like. Note that it let me know that someone quoted me:

Anything in blue I could click and it brought me straight to Specktra.

This is what the notifications look like now:

No hyperlinks so to even reply to you I had to get to Specktra, click Settings, look for this post then get to the end to quote you and reply.

I have not been able to log into my old/active account. I have tried using the password reset and never received an email. I did it several times and waited days. Is there anyone I can contact for assistance? Thank you. :)

Send a PM to Dawn with your original username; she should be able to sort you out.
