If you're mobile the gallery isn't there.

...on my computer (macbook pro), i sadly can't click on anything in the gallery anymore because it makes my browser crash big time... i don't know if it's a mac vs pc issue, but it's a bit crap. i can only look at the 5-6 thumbnails that appear on the side of the page at any given time, so i kind of have to go back through the pages manually :(

the search function on specktra is not always very helpful -- sometimes i can't find posts i KNOW i've seen before with my own eyes. and if the thread happens to be a popular one with hundreds of pages of history, who wants to go back and read all those posts, which to a newbie, contain somewhat irrelevant conversations?

it doesn't help that there is conflicting information surrounding these collections, from release dates, to colour stories, availability...everything's a big questions mark it seems with some collections!

i've been one of those people who ask something that's already been asked...when i first joined, reading an entire thread felt like sifting through heavy sand...it's only when you become familiar with other users, form friendships and join discussions that reading the threads stops being completely disorienting.

specktra is the only forum i'm part of and i've basically learned 'forum etiquette' on here as i go. i don't think it's fair to expect new members or infrequent users to know the etiquette off the bat. and i think some members are nicer than others in letting people know about their faux-pas...


that said, i completely understand the frustration of members who are extremely helpful, go out of their way to make info available to everyone, and end up consistently fielding the exact same questions repeatedly. i often feel frustrated on their behalf, so i can only imagine how they keep up with it!

I'm just catching up on some of these posts, and a thought occurred to me: Why is the first post not a wiki? I used to frequent slickdeals, and for the most part, the first post was a wiki so that anyone could update it with the current information. I always went to the first post to check for updates, and if I couldn't find the answer there, I would do a thread search, and THEN if I still couldn't find it, I'd ask my question. Since we don't have wikis as far as I know, I feel like the burden should be on the person who created the thread to update the first post with any new information (release dates, color story, etc.). That seems to be the way many forums are organized, I think. Just a thought.

You make a good point. I volunteered to moderate so I can update the first post and the title as soon as info become available. Which I need to do for Trop Taboo lol.

That's a good point. I frequent a lot of different forums and the person who started the thread is usually "responsible" for all updates.

Ditto both of these. My computer is a PC, so it is not a MAC thing. The gallery crashes me 95% of the time. I stopped using it.

I have also not been able to find things with the search function that I know exists.

Not sure why the two red lipsticks look the same-looks like one is RiRiWoo and one is RubyWoo in my opinion, and im assuming the purple lipstick in the forefront is Ririboy. The Blush-Bronzer duo looks cool.

Now if only there were swatches...grr

OMG I know! I use Slickdeals too, and if Specktra wants to eliminate the multiple questions PLEASE implement Wikis lol.

Well I guess I must just be super oblivious or something but I honestly couldn't careless whether or not someone posts a snarky comment I don't even notice it, I just have other things to worry about lol. Like how my wallet will manage to survive all these collections
