wow – great developments in useability and functionality across the board – will be interesting to see how these changes pan out…

I like it Peter!
Kept trying to come back during the breif hiatus and opened a new page to this. Was shocked, but it is quite easy to navigate and I think even though you’ll probably get lots of negative responses, I like the changes and I think it will be better in the long run once we get used to it!
Great job!

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!

Thank you Peter! I’m going to have to explore this more but I do appreciate that you are always trying to improve the site and are always communicating. Much different than other experiences I have had. Great job!!

Sorry, don’t like the new format,,,,,it is too busy.

Thats a great news. Let me discover the sweet pie.

Ok this is sexy. Great work guys.

Took a little getting used to, but I LIKE IT, great work people

Looks cool. I’ll let you know how it works out.

looks and feels great!! Thankyou :)

pulls her t-shirt over her head and runs around doing her patented happy dance

Oh yeah.. oh yeah… oh yeah yeah yeah….!

Looking great and I look forward to exploring it further

I still prefer the original

great work and thank you very much.. Looks easier to follow the works :)

COngratulations to RB TEAM..

Sincerly,

A amateur, learning still…

I preferred it when the feeds were organised into catagories, now they seem cluttered, random and harder to keep track of.

It’s going to take me a bit to get used to the interface, but first of all bless you for making another spot for the group mails!

Looks wonderful, Thanks.

Oh nifty! Love the new look and menus!

I saw it before it was released and I liked it then…love it even more now…great work…

Kudos to Russ for the design work on the new MyBubble.

Looks good, We’ll see how it goes.

hate it…absolutely hate it….cant even use the bubble because it now causes my computer to go soooo slow … took 10 minute for all the image stuff to load alone…just made my life a little more miserable…..dont have a new computer, its rather dated, guess this is is fine for those with new computers, but, mine is all i have, wish we could have the option to choose the old or the new which ever is better … for me… wont be able to keep up with much now as it is so slow, i just cant wait that long for the page to load

Wow! I love the changes!

I log off for 10 minutes and the world changes. Thats it, I’m leaving the country. I wonder if Nat Tyler needs a couch surfer? Hmmm

najeroux

Took me a little getting used to it!! but good STUFF! Thank you very much !!!! :D

Lookin good.

hmm pretty neat, but wud have been even better if the groups were kept in a sorted order. That makes it more manageable.

The “My Groups” part, if fecking awesome!!!

How you did groups we host seperate from groups we’re in…perfect. GREAT job.

I guess “techies” just can’t keep from screwing things up. If it’s simple and easy to use it’s no good, so lets see how we can make it more difficult and confusing. It’s too bad they don’t have rehab for that.

im just wondering if the change has actually…changed anything aside from skewing the user friendliness of what used to be? is anything actually different other than the setup? is this somehow benefitting us in any way…just curious. i prefer the old set up. but hell, thats just me…

its cool yall have tried to keep things interesting…but sometimes its best to leave well enough alone.

looks and works great!

Thanks guys
great update

Sorry no liked the old way

I would have to agree with Joseph Rieg, its a bit busy, and would have failed in any basic composition design couse I have ever taken… not that I recieved great marks all the time. Have to agree with JenniferB as well.

it will take a while to get used to but I can cope, I thought there was gonna be a trial of this though, or all of the people in this thread trialling it, or is it sitewide ?

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

Man you guys don’t hang around! I still can’t believe how much you get done with so few devs – awesome!

Damn – I’ve got to refactor my Greasemonkey Scripts now!!!

Looks better, brighter, “cleaner”... just need to get used to it…
I hope I will like it. To early to say. :)

I like it, it’s good, my only gripe is that before, there was a “featured users” filter and a “featured work” filter, now there is only a “filtered users and work” filter so if you want to have a look at featured users you have to wade through pages and pages of featured work in between each couple of featured users. If we could have a separate filter for each of those two back I’d be happy! :)
Good job overall though, I think it’s an improvement – especially if it kills all those Bubblemails!!!!!!

Not to bad.. nice work you guys!

Thanks for the written notice this is very helpful.

I hate to say this but it’s not working on IE7. It appears to be not loading some of the options on the left. It say it’s loading but just hangs. Are you using different features like pop ups that a popup blocker could be effecting? or other things like ActiveX code or RSS feeds that the firewall could be blocking.

Well, I have few feedback at the moment …
1. Give a different colour to links (blue or red). Right now it is to be figured out whre to click by hovering the mouse. Also a different colour quickly catches the eye, like the title of an artwork or a name of a challenge.
2. Give different icons for writing, journal entry, uploaded artwork, and t-shirt. Also give different icon for challenge launch (yellow centre), challenge open (green centre) and challenge end (red centre) ... so that we can visually identify quickly.
3. Change the image (eg. Morning glory) with random images everytime the user loads my bubble page. This will give variety, as users will tend to explore various kinds of works.

I’ll have what Rhana’s having ;-))

I liked being able to bring up latest comments, or latest sales, or work added with a single click. Is this still possible?

Its a pleasure to behold.. :-)

thank you, thank you, thank you for alphabetizing the ART page,,,,,,,,,,,,yeahhhh, this will be so much easier for finding our groups now…......wheeeeeee

awwwwwwwww I’m all confused…...I’m not sure I like it….

And the work I have missed is completely intimidating, but I love it, said the masochist.

like the clean look
similar changes in tshirt formatting would do wonders
will come surely have to wait

I LOVE the fact that you can watch forums feeds…
Still liking it…

I DO like the new sales info. $647.41 in earnings! Woo hoo!

My second comment…I have just started to use it and a sense of well being has crept over me…nice user friendly organised space…like my studio…perfect…

For the hosts it would be good to have live preview that you find with bubblemail to use/check before sending out group news.

I love it ! very easy to navigate and everything is right there. Love the group part.

Very cool – looks great… Kinda hit me by surprise though!!! :)

Well after setting my preferences and messing with it a bit…I find it a lot easier to navigate and to interact with groups and challenges. I am a minimalist so I keep my preferences bare and then just click on the rest when I have a chance to view….All in all I like it.

Change is good!! Well done guys, I can imagine all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes to get this up and running!! :D

Absolutely wonderful… loving it so far!

Outstanding! Especially the thread feed and group communication alerts.

I really don’t like it, makes it more difficult for me to navigate around the pages! Now when I make a comment and hit the back button, it really takes you back…back to the first page. And what about the page number system? That was very helpful to me in staying caught up!

> Yes – just click on the filter link on the right hand side.

Now I get it. Thanks.

When I see a sale in the new My Bubble I’ll be convinced. Anyone care to try it out for me? Canvas prints are going cheap!

Change is change,, But Is there any way I can opt NOT to recieve email notifications every time I get a Bubblemail??

I`ve a feeling that`s going to give me chronic problems over time…

Yay!

Love it! Especially the comments are viewable on the My Bubble page …. and the favouriteable forum option! Great stuff.

I’m not you’re biggest fan on allot of the things you guys do or impliment, but you really have my vot on this.

ok it looks like after abit it will be easier to use but i just have to mention for those of us who have not so good eye sight at least close up its very small and difficult to read. perhaps with time it will get easier.

Can the menus on the right be shifted back to the left hand side? I feel like I’m driving an American car… Hmmm… Slowly finding my way around…

ooh its nice.. ! just will need a day to get used to it, i reckonz..
i havent discovered all the new bits yet.. but the ones i see so far is very cool
esp the showing of what the comments are (saves me another click or two) and i also like the Work you may have missed cuz i do miss a LOT (so much goodness in here)

Great job RB team! You guys did WAY BETTER than facebook changes..hehehe ;)

I can’t do it….........awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I totally LOVE it…. I think – giggle

I like the fact that you can see the full comments or responses to comments you’ve made to other people.

I think it has to be used for a few days – it’s different, I agree. One thing I’d hoped for was the segregation of information i.e. stuff about my work and stuff about others work. Something like the following would have been nice… :

I REALLY like how the group news is – YAY! cuz the real bubblemail use to get swallowed up by group mail.. thank you!!

some ppl make me want to puke

NOOO! you guys got rid of the new work from my watch list feed. I so loved that! its nice to be able to skip right to all the new posts when i’ve been away for a few days. Please bring it back!!

I prefer the previous version…this is way too busy

Very happy with the changes, plus I’m already accustomed to it :-P

The separation of group news from bubblemail is such a a good idea.

You guy’s ROCK!! Kudos to the RB team!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!
I love it
:)

Like anything! Time changes all things…gotta go with the flow, I guess!! :))

Yes cookies, and java script was on. However, the firewalls blocks “mime integrated objects” unless you bypass it. It wasn’t just cookies or java scripts. To get it to work it took bypassing that. It’s not a transient problem but rather something most firewalls block. Why you need to use that is the question I have? are you sending encode or compressed picture? I think you’re going to have many people with this problem if they are using any of the standard firewalls. You shouldn’t have to bypass the firewall to get this page to work.

Like Helen, I applaud the thread feed watch and the group news notification…the constant group bms were a drag…the rest is yet to be explored. Thanks for your continual improvements…even though most of us don’t like change much!

I like the fact that you can see the full comments or responses to comments you’ve made to other people.

+1

Why not set up a democratic system of votes so we, the community, can have a say on changes? Once again Redbubble is imposing change on it’s members without consultation! New system stinks – no point listing what’s wrong here because you are obviously not listening!

@tuffcookie you can configure your feeds here: http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/configure

Ooohhh …......... this is different! Cool one guys!!!

Brilliant. will take a while to get used to, but I do agree totally on making the links underlined or a different colour, and also making the icons different for different things like New work, new comments etc.

Overall, fantastic work!

ok, ignore what I said about the comment icons to new work icons, i see the difference – but journals and new art works should be different icons dont ya think?

I really dislike comments displayed in the activity……they take up too much room and what is the point looking at the post…when you can read the comment.

thanks RedBubble for all your work !

I think I love Ya!!!!

it takes a little getting use to due to everything being on the LHS now, otherwise it’s great!
love the configure your default setting was that there before? hehe

yay! for the group news and the inline display of comments on work now shown on the my bubble page :) the rest i will have to discover, and play with … but it looks like a great improvement! :) thanks for the hard work that obviously went into this!

Hi
do you still have a ‘replies to a comment’ section?

I hate change…........

I’d like to see a Preview facility for the Post group news. Overall, I like it.

A bit tough to get use to…but let’s give it a chance!! :)

im missing the forum feeds bit. I only have under the main image thing, things i might have missed and thats it? Im very confused..

@Tracy That will be because you aren’t “Watching” any forum topics yet, jump over to the forums and use the button at the bottom of any topic to add it.

I love the way the messages show the comment so you don’t have to page back and forth.

:)))) anything to cut back on bubblemails has my vote!!! Thank you.

I got a shock when opening… (even tho twitbin warned me).... but I like it.

I love it! Way more stuff going on then the other one!

got a shock as well, but it was pleasant!

WOW…............ WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER

oh lol Thahks Russell :)

RB I LOVE IT! Sweet wk as always, cheers and thanks and great!

Fantastic work, guys!!! At last, my groups are in alphabetical order. Yayyy!!!! Love the changes – keep up the great work! cheersxx

nice

I wanna do a happy dance I wanna I wanna I wanna BUT
I went into the group page …. Oh dear
all the hosts who complained about pages of gallery pictures at 18 a page are going to MURDER you for having ONE a page now!!!
What happened to the gallery? To see a page of colour of different samples etc …. now they see our page in our gallery & sooooo much space wasted on the featured art & the reason why it was featured!
As a group host this will be horrible!!!

Also I still don’t like the almost FULL comment appearing in the notification box – what’s the point of checking the comment – & then replying it – if you can see it on the notification?

So Mr RB WHY did I spend a whole afternoon / evening in the dummy bubble if you didn’t listen to what we asked for? and why only one afternoon / evening? (especially at the quiet time of the bubble – when OS is asleep) why not a week?

OH NEVER MIND – it was a token of love towards us wasn’t it … the Clayton’s trial – the trial you have when you’re not really having a trial!
Go ahead RB Do whatever you want! After all it’s you’re site and we are mere players upon it!
Just don’t ask me to help you again tho! – it’s like a blind man reading a book aloud to a deaf man!
Chookas!

Changes are confusing at first. Is this suppose to be better??

Looks good. Hope it works just as well.

I agree with whoever suggested LINKS need to be in a DIFFERENT COLOUR :)

Change is good.
Cheers,
John

I like it so far!! A change for the better. Thanks!!!!

I sort of like the new layout, though it would be very much improved if the columns were reversed with the feed on the right hand side instead

Similar problem as Mary Campbell above. ‘Add work’. ‘Filter Activity feed’, ‘My Groups’ not working. The other links are working. Also ‘Watched Forum Topics’ and ‘Work you may have missed’ not loading, hanging. Cookies and Java are on. Using Mac OSX Safari. I do have Pop Ups blocked but that shouldn’t be a problem.

Enivea
I saw your comment and just to let you know it was beta tested with RB users and Peter has been sharing the information about it on the Daily Activitiy page and his Backstage site. It was open to everyone. You need to check that more often if this is a concern.

I was shocked as I haven’t been on for a week. Time for a LOOK C.. then I will judge it more so. Cheers

i love it!!!!
has such a nice professional look to it!

Can the rest of the pages be formatted so they are same size as the new over view page? The menu bar slides in and out depending on what page you are on(prefer menu bar not to move- slightly picky.)

to the mods
how bout some kinda background on the profile page
we can add some kind of background instead ofplain white as well not lose the rb identity
please comment

One more comment: is there a way to just see the comments on my work vs all activities and comments of everybody on my watch list, there use to be a way to segrate that. Now I don’t find it? It’s hard to find your work can this be added as a filter?

I’m using Safari 2.0.3 (it’s not completely working for me).

Whaddeyamean INTRODUCE the CONCEPT of curated galleries …. THAT’S WHAT WE HAD!!!!!!!!!!

and I was 3rd in yesterday when the call went out for the “Wider Group!” after the 20 last week
all I can see is you have swapped it over shuffled it about a bit and said TADA!
You cannot easily do anything we used to easily do!
Comments on our work
replies to comments we have made
bypassing all the crud about what we did …. [cos we know we did it we did it!!!] & looking at what our watch list has been doing!

and you have NOT eliminated Group Mail! [well not yet!]

I’m scared to look further coz if I find stuff ups all over the place I shall just scream!

and you only listen to overwhelming positive comments I have noticed you ignore the majority of other kind!

gggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Don’t talk to me for a few days I may bite!

{Taking deep breaths now!!!}

Sorry!
You replied my last comment thank you & the comment after that was made before I saw you’d replied me
I just think it may be tooo much too quick and even though I had a lot of fun in the dummy bubble yesterday there were things it showed up that need to be addressed
I cant help feeling that instead of you the mechanic finding & fixing the clunk in the motor you gave the car a new paint job!

I like the old bubble …. it will take a week to decide about this one …. not just one afternoon

Gotta say one thing more … at least it livened up the place – it seemed to have been dead for a while there!

I have never wished for Chookas more!

I hate it with a passion….....ALL THAT BLOODY WHITE….......and for what I can see you have removed certain items in the filter.
To me it looks more like a commercial that is intent on bombarding your minds eye.
As for items like “Work you may have missed” I would rather not have it shoved in my face…....If I want to browse then I will at my leisure

Very nice the new MyBubble…

The *new group interface: I still think the works are the most important thing in the group you took off the works from the front page and replaced with comments…

I would like to see more focus in the works in the front page…it that possible?...

Thanks

I’m very happy with the changes, thank you!!!! Especially the ability to follow a Forum topic and know we’ll be notified when there’s a new post ….........!!!

sorry for my english…:)

Some nice changes, but can you please get rid of the Work you may have missed section!! I don’t care to see it!

I think I’m going to miss the “Groups” tab. Anyway to get it back?

Groups Tab was here

Unfortunatly I am not a fan it is way to busy it is hard to navigate, it takes longer to open up the page and it is harder to read, sorry guys, i also don’t like the fact that you have taken the page numbers away, again way to busy and way to much reading to do.

Re Groups I thought buyers went to the group to select something to buy – you go to a shop you look for the “Cereal section” to buy muesli you don’t go to the “Sanitarium section” & ferret through all their products! Yes to us groups are about people like in a market the vendors have a vested interest in the place …. but the customer doesn’t give a frig about how many other people like you they want a selection of product to choose from!
Or wont the customers be given the selection of departmentalizing our art for their convenience – bargain bin hunt through it at will!

I dunno why I care I’m a writer I have nothing to sell!

its good….

Love the changes!!

Put the kettle on, addy. ;)

still about the new group interface:
the overview page is going to show only one featured work at time?... and coments?

The overview page should show the works and not comments….could you change this pleaseeeee…

Russ and Xav are chatting about this now.

:) thank you.

Where’s the tab that use to show where, when we added artworks to groups?

The good thing about the old groups tab was that it gave you a snapshot of your groups and their most recent activity. It looks like you have to go to the group page now to see if there have been any changes?

Woah i’m on the wrong website…sorry.. oh wait, what on earth has happened here :O

it was easier to see past pages of my watchlist when they were numbered at the bottom of the page and i could go to any in my history. now i can’t seem to find how to do that. hope there’s still a way to. will search it better later. that’s really my only complaint is the difficulty i’m having to get to past pages of my watchlist, i was 17 pages behind (roughly 1 to 2 days) now i don’t know how to get there again.

You’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this so good on you for the continuous improvement ethos.
However, whilst it is great to see tweaks like this it is a little frustrating when major aggravations stay unchanged. For me this is the unbelievably cumbersome way to organise your artwork on RB – I’d trade tweaks like this any day for the ability (like I have on my on-line DVD site for my DVD queue) to simply put in a number next to the picture to say where I want it to be eg 1 for first display 20 for 20th display). The present “click on the arrow” system is absolutely Godawful for any image you want beyond the first page. I really would have thought this was more of a priority to fix as it goes to the heart of the way an artist’s work displays.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FIX THIS.

Not bad, I really don’t mind it, will need to get used to it though…

I think it’s a worthwhile improvment. Not a big feature improvment (but all features added are good ones) but a good framework for further development.

About the only thing I would change is either colour or underline the links in the activity feed – it helps give you a bit of linkage guidance.

seems pretty much as the older version and easier to access. what i definitely dont like is that with the older version if u clicked in one of the options ,say for instance wanted to view a pic or go to a challenge, with the older version using the back button used to take u where u where before, with this one you go to the very first page. it is quite frustrating go through all the pages again to get to the point where u ve been before the click!!!! hope administrators will look into this. thank u for the fantastic job of keeping redbubble up for us xxx

Woahh I miss the old overview page

What is does is really good …but the way it has been presented is messy – not professional or functional looking – rather it gives me eye strain.
Good work on getting rid of those damn Group BMs though !

mhkantor I totally agree bring back the page numbers, otherwise i am and everyone else is going to miss lots of things

The groups aren’t in alphebetical order. Some groups seem to be and some aren’t so if you think it is supose to be doing this it isn’t. It looks like the order you joined them for some and alphebetical for others. Perhaps this is a problem that needs to be looked at.

You folks write good code!

it might be neat to have a ‘reply’ button on each comment shown on the my bubble page, that would take you to the work’s own page where the comment is, and open the reply box for you to type into … or just open the reply box inline on the my bubble page …

The new group news feature sounds great. I’m one who was overwhelmed by group bubblemails – I even left some groups because of it. Thank you for addressing this problem !

Oh my goodness! I’m seriously bewildered here! I keep clicking on my own profile page, and that of others, just to be able to feel at home again.
We’re all such busy people. We spend so much time as it is, working on our photos, art, and writings, commenting and responding to comments, that by the end of our sessions here, our eyes are tired. NOW, when you open your My Bubble page, it’s so darned difficult to quickly scan from what requires our immediate attention, to a new image we immediately want to view in full, without having to read through so many notifications, because it so difficult to differentiate one thing from the other. MORE reading than I can cope with to be honest. Drifting further and further away from user friendliness!!

Multi-emails bombarding us, was never an issue for me, personally! I’d much prefer to know what’s going on within my selected groups than not, but if that was a contentious issue for so many, could you not have simply separated the emails somehow into personal, and group emails?

I’m not at all convinced that these changes are for the best. To me it never was broken or stale. It was a delightful, easy, and very personalized format prior.

Just one suggestion I would like to make though, that may make some of us feel a little less disorientated. Is it possible to reverse the (My Bubble) page format? Notifications on the right, which is where the eye always goes first, and all of the other stuff on the left? :-/

I’m digging it..

great new look ! i love this overview

So I guess I have to get used to it or leave …. There is no better place to go and I’d have to get used to that then too anyway …. So I guess I will have to just find the Pollyannaisms

@Magee Have you tried out the “Filter Activity Feed” link on the right-hand side? You should be able to just show new works if that’s what you’re wanting to quickly look at.

Her is the list I copied what showed up when I expanded the group list. Note some are and some aren’t in alphebetical order.. It is strange.
Could it be some of the group names have unprintable characters in them that is screwing up the order. Like quote marks? I also noted some are capitals and some aren’t which effects the order too. Perhaps asking people to name them in a standard way might fix this? But it’s a hodgepoge now.

I think it’s lovely. Why do people seem to think that it is so hard? All you have to do is scroll. I like the extra pictures too =) I am a picture-girl.

Ok doing a Pollyanna now
I like ….

On the right
☼ In the drop down activity feeds
- Add Work needs a Calendar button too BUT I LIKE how you have defined what the 2 different written things are about – writing for creative pieces and Journals for “News and Notes”
- I still don’t get the Filter Activity Feed – what is it supposed to do? BUT I LIKE the language you use – “Perfect keep these” & “Oops cancel” very human thank you!
- In My Groups I miss the avatar pictures – easier identification BUT I LIKE the way you have separated the groups we host from the rest – Thank you !!
☼ The last three – The Sales History, Edit Public Profile & View Public Profile haven’t changed so thank you.

☼ I LIKE the picture with a special message on it …. Such as the feed to this feedback journal entry
Good exposure for artists too …. What messages will be here?

☼ Group News will be good when the Group Page coincides I guess and I LIKE the resolution of no longer needing Gmail Floods mixed up with normal bmail

☼ Forum thread Watching – if we are in many threads it will be a tad like watching the stock exchange …. But not as colourful! BUT I LOVE IT!!! It is BRILLIANT!!!!!! A fantastic idea THANK YOU

☼ Work you have Missed is only art and can duplicate too! I guess I can ignore it! BUT I LIKE how it jazzes up the page – it is pretty

Left Side
☼ the activity action list is ok but it seems BIGGER? And the comments excerpt added are too long … defeats the purpose of going to look at the comment & defers the reply till later …. Maybe ….. I am not happy about the continual roll down of “see more activity” the numbered pages were better …. Or perhaps add in a return to the top button …. It seems a long way to scroll back up after 6 or 7 additions. BUT I LIKE the green bubbles! & how it reminds me of the Community Activity Page that I surf when I’m bored!

I hope that helps everyone ….... anyone …. someone??
Chookas!

hey this is mighty fine.
well done to the peeps involved.

Sorry…don’t like it at all !!

Would prefer Comments on my work and replies seperate.

First impression was….OMG its so busy….but am sure will get used to it….and must say…love it that group emails have at last been removed…yippee!!!

Surprised me, I like it so far, especially the group feeds for easy moderating…CHEERS!

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve created a request for my idea as suggested

Ref: Comment from Russell ^^
I did Russell, prior to commenting. I only have New Work and Comments showing, which now means I have to go hunting for the rest, which is disappointing. Could it be the typeface? Perhaps the fact that the artist’s name isn’t bold enough, and is preceeded with the words, New Work which to my way of thinking, is superfluous!
I don’t know Russell! Give me a day or two and maybe I’ll warm to it a little more. There surely is a lot of white space on that page though! Cheers kind sir, and thank you for taking the time!

Did I mention the ‘Groups’ button on the MyBubble toolbar. Gee, those were good days. Shame it’s the only button to have dropped off the toolbar. I wonder if that was intentional?

thank-you I already uploaded a fab tshirt! j

Good navigation; cleaner. I like change. But my mate is a zeroes and ones guy and I develop websites. Good job. Can’t please everyone, apparently, Peter.

Hmmm I’m sceptical…
I like the overall design of it
Just its not really practical for Right hand Users…

I did the trial (for a couple of hours) I didnt mind it.. But I HATE the “Work you may have missed”... Why? Because I feel that it is forcing the art on to you – and who choses these images?? I had one appear that I didnt particularly like – the person is not on my watchlist – and I think this is a big mistake. In the past if we didnt like certain “Views” or political stance, heck you could even throw religion in there… Now we do not have a choice the work is put there in front of us.. I do not agree with this at all… Maybe Im alone on this – but Im speaking my mind none-the-less…

Looks really good. I like it. Congratulations on the new development! May i suggest one thing though? Could you add an easier drag and drop function for the rearrangement of the artist’s works? It’ll give more flexibility on showcasing the art works. Thank you very much!

I told you this would happen
whine, whine , whine
as for Mary Campbell..serves you right for joining a hundred groups but bad idea posting them here it takes forever to find the bottom now because of you.
But i can feel good in myself knowing I complained first.
:P
Other than that I reckon it’s cool
keep up the great (and can I remind everyone – the FREE) work.

Great minds think alike! I was just thinking about suggesting you post replies to comments on our MyBubble page, and you’ve done that and gone a step (or ten) further! Saves time not having to delve into the photo page to read replies to comments! Well done!

I beg to differ…. there are a couple that are sure – but not all…

I have just counted the first 12 images – of which 9 are from people not on my watchlist. A glitch then perhaps?

I really appreciate all the work going on behind the scenes of RB but I find the page really busy now, and don’t like the Work You May have Missed as it’s extra load when things are slow.
....Great job, looks slick but as a leftie I would love to have the choice of the old or new version;)

Danny I was asked to post the list by RB.. so they could see the problem with alphebetical order..

Correction make that 10. And one of the images in on the home page… Happy to bmail this information if you wish.

I agree with Kelly I have images that come up from people that are not on my watch list!!

It’s MY BUBBLE PAGE I should be able to choose what I see on it!

Give us the option to turn it off PLEASE!!!!!

i was happy with it the way it was…

OK, I don’t like change & had a hissy fit the minute I opened the overviews – but that’s my normal reaction to change LOL I’ll see how it pans out, but I find the screen a bit “busy” on first impression

Is there some way to get rid of the “work you may have missed section”?

fantastic update… i was worried that it would feel like too much was stuffed onto one page but it works brilliantly and thanks so much for ‘groups i host’ in the my groups list – how many times have i had to use the find tool to try and find my groups lol
excellently done guys!
so now we’re just waiting on the new group designs…
also (i’ll get this in a forum sometime) – what happened to the ideas being blown around about drag and drop art sorting? – like in the bubblesites just on our profiles as well. that would be very helpful.

Update looks great!!!!
however….. I can’t find my “group moderation of my work” tab….. I actually use that alot & it seems to have disappeared…...
Any clues?

Thank you for the upgrade, everything about it is so much easier. I love the fact that you put the groups in alphabetical order, they are so much easier to find and the whole page is a real improvement . Thank You Very Much, Linda

No one is forcing people to stay – if they hate the way Redbubble is growing and changing. I was shocked but it’s not bad and neither IE7 nor my firewall is having any problem with the changes.
I like finding group news – it saves taking the long way round.

Heya
getting used to the changes slowly…
But i have one improvement idea.Thing is….... For the group hosts, it can take ages (especially if there are 10’s or 100’s!! pages of work) to find the images that are featured to “unfeature” them. Uggh….really is annoying to go back and forth looking for them. Could you please make it easier? Will save loads of time
Thank you in advance!
vivi xx

Vive la Redbubble! I love it!

Some of the recent comments on my images are not showing up under the image! Fix this and I like it.

Oops seems fine now!!

By the way, where are the challenges to be found now???

BOOM Diggidy! You know how much I love griping about all the things you RedBubble power-people do wrong (mostly out of unabashed jealousy), but I have to say I am finally proud of you guys. The new overview page rocks! And here I thought I was paying you all for nothing… oh, right… so, actually, double that thanks and put it on rocks! You’re kicking ass right now free of charge. ;)

I’ve only jut seen it but it looks good. One thing if you are tweaking groups please put members of groups in alphabet order it makes mods lives so much easier.

Aloha!

I love many of the wonderful improvements, in particular the alphabetical listing of groups, at last!! Yay!
I have been wishing for that for so long! That is one of the most long awaited and helpful improvements to date.

The expanding My Groups list is good. The formatting is so much better and I love the much needed changes to the bubblemail with a dedicated field for the group mailing, at least so far so good I should say.

The new overview page looks good and was such a surprise, although I could do without the ‘works you may have missed’. I truly hope you don’t make changes to our portfolio homepage as I like it just the way it is. The only thing I ask is for an option for a black background and to categorize our collections into albums. That would be very nice.

Mahalo Peter!
Aloha e Malama pono,

Sharon

Excellent team -thanks!

BRAVISSIMI!...........more power RB

It sounds like functionality has been improved….
but it’s a step away from the clean design simplicity I associate with Redbubble.

I wish you had the ability to opt in or out of the feeds filling the right half of the page.

Kelly – the work is from people on your watchlist.
Oh no its not…...
Also, what I dont like, is that you have to keep on reloading the page when you are looking at older work, comments etc.
At least with the old version you had page numbers or if you hit the back arrow it would take you to where you were before.
But not now.
Go back say 10 hours, comment, hit the back arrow and it takes you to the front of the page you are looking at.
Can you please make that a priority in a fix.

I have found that the work is from:
people whom you have favoured – their favourites
I certainly do not want a collection of other peoples favourites on my page-sorry

Woot lol! congratz sweetheARTz am lovin’ it~+ groups alphabetically as well….. dancin’ shoez ON LOL! ;} happy hippy huggle

Have to try it , thank you.

It looks very good. It’ll take a bit of getting used to though. I like the group news idea. Agnes xx

Looks great. Not great on change but I will get use to it. Love the groups news idea, bubblemail was getting a little crazy. Keep up the great work!

Every morning I look at all the activity I’ve missed over the past twelve hours since I last checked. That seems to be harder to do now, because the ‘expand my view’ thing this only short term I can’t simply go ‘new image / look at / comment if I feel like / press back button / look at next image / etc’. I wonder whether there’s a way to scroll through (like a gallery) all the activity from my watchlist….

Love this new overview page – so much easier to negotiate. The only slightly negative criticism I would add is that I can’t see straight away when an image has been commented on and favourited so it takes me longer to answer comments then go back to look and see if any have been favourited and leave separate thanks.
It also seems much faster now – though, that could just be my PC.

Love it! SO much better than the old one. Great layout – and the Groups pop down tab is such a good improvement!!
P xxx

looking good my only remark is replies and comments combined is a bit confusing well at least for me

I think its an improvement. Its not perfect and there are more things that I’d like to see and some of the above requests are pretty worthwhile. However, I know that it would be impossible to please everyone , so I will work with this, embrace it and after a few weeks make a few suggestions if I feel really strongly about them.

Thanks RedBubble!

Loooks great … :))

Definitley an improvement, does make things alot easier :) – now remove group bubblemails and life will be so much easier – well done redbubble!

The new overview page looks nice and specially ‘watched forum topics’ is something I was waiting for :) but... I’ve noticed some changes that make life more difficult; to name some:

- group news: under ‘Group News’ on my overview page, I can only see two notifications. Clicking on ‘Older’/’Newer’, I can only move through the list of news by two of them. Now, being a member of tens of groups (and I’m not the only one!), it will take me ages to check them all, and taking into account there is no dating visible, I’ll even wan’t know whether I’ve checked all of them (sometimes, there are similar to each other so I wan’t be sure whether I’ve read that one or not); if it stays as it is, I’ll probably stop to read them but then I’ll have no idea what happens in my groups. Too bad… I’d like to have the possibility to show the whole page of the group news (as it was with bmails), to go quickly through them. Also, group news’ URL (when you click on ‘more’) is something like ‘http://www.redbubble.com/nameofthegroup/notifications/xx’; is there any way to get all notifications from that group visible (some groups have frequent news)? Above, there stays only ‘overview art clothing writing people challenges forums activity’ but no ‘notifications’! Except of this, even after clicking on ‘Read more’ to get to the whole notification text, I still have no idea how old is the notification = no idea whether it’s still valid, how much time to enter something, to response etc. Magee was right with >>could you not have simply separated the emails somehow into personal, and group emails? This means, leaving the bmails as they were but with two subgroups for personal and group bmails?
- ‘My Groups’ also doesn’t open on a new page, which makes it difficult to navigate to one particular group. Let’s say I want to check briefly on the group rules of three of my groups before adding a new work to them. Before, I could easily use ‘Find’ function of my browser to navigate to those groups on the ‘My Groups’ list, but it doesn’t work now because most of the groups’ list is not visible! Please make it open in its own tab/window as before to make the navigation easier (the same way as with ‘Sales history’).
- Navigation through the default feed (‘>> Hey Lenka, checkout the new stuff!‘) became also quite frustrating. Think about the situation you were not online for a week (it happens to most of us, now and then, and is usual for many!), or you want to check again on something you know precisely was in the feed five days ago. Before, I could navigate through pages of ‘activity’ quickly, eventually skipping some pages by setting directly e.g. ‘page=5’ in the URL, but now, I have to click on ‘See more activity…’ below on the page repeatedly to create one endless page, adding just a few news each time!

My knee jerk reaction is that it looks cluttered.
But change can always be a little jarring? So i will give it its chance.

The “work you may have missed “panel

Work pictured is from those who are NOT on my watchlist …..It’s ok…. this way I go see different stuff… but looks like the gremlins are about ;)

Oh… and linkies are easier to find now :) Thank you!

It’s all good :o) My only negative comment would be when checking out new stuff in my overview and press ‘see more activity’, then comment on an image further down and back track, it automatically goes back to the most recent page which means I have to scroll down, press ‘see more activity’ to continue browsing.. I find this annoying and I’m finding my self not looking further which means I’m probably missing out on seeing more great work… Otherwise it’s all good,, just a little getting use to :o) B

it’s looking better. i would like to add the following – the groups, i think should have to have a topic. such as pretty in pink would be COLOR – then the title. because while alphabetical is nice (i would rather be able to change the order myself), by topic would be easier.

i’d still like to see the sales divided up more neatly.

and while i know you submit some of the stuff to google, i’d like to have overall control of it so i can submit it myself.

—-Mike Savad

Wow!, you blow me away…this is fantastic!...Thanks Angielarts

Sounds good:-) I would be happy if my million groups would appear alphabetically also in the page where I edit my art and send it to groups… I spend too much time looking for the fitting groups each time… lol.

Yep! I think I’m going to really like these improvements. Cheers RB.

it’s takes a bit of getting used to it and finding the buttons to click… but we’re getting there. Looks pretty useful.

Oh… sorry… now I see that I misunderstood earlier and that I got what I wished for:-) Bravo!!

I like it a lot!! :)

Unsure about how the list of images you may have missed are selected? as going through several pages, I saw the same image coming up 4 times..

Another oh… Can’t find “my featured works” and “group moderation of my art”. Both categories were useful, the first for making journals, the second in order not to send the same work many times to the same group, among other uses.

The Edit your profile link on the activity page opens the My Account page and not the edit your profile page. I am also unhappy about work on my activity page being from people who I have not chosen to add. The rest I will get used to…eventually.

tags on pages are not working….....................shambles

Hey, this is seriously great work! This has been on your list for ages Pete, awesome that it’s seen the light of day. Carry on!

HI!!
Haven’t finished exploring the newness yet, but what I see so far I ❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤❤♥❤!!!
And reading the comments you’ve received so far on this post has been a lot of fun…LOL

Have a terrific day/night!!!!!

what a hell of a thing to wake up to first thing in the morning. my sleepy eyes went nutzo.
some things are ok, the work you might have missed needs to Go!! thats why we have the activity feed, also, clicking the “more” and the page getting longer is crazy, just put the simple page links back.
as far as groups being in alphabetical order, arrows to put them were we wanted them would have been much better. i now wil have to scroll all the way down to get to the groups i work with the most, so that is more of a hassle.
one of the hugest problems of this site from day one is the NAVIGATION!!! there isnt any even flow to any of it. i would think That is what you guys would work on the most. A site with poor navigation loses interest quickly.
i always appreciate you guys trying to do things to improve, but work on things that are most important. instead of making things alittle more complicated.
first work on smooth navigation, the tech’s have had over 2years to get that right.
the group feeds are a cool feature, and being able to subscribe to forums you’re interacting with is a good thing
showing the actual comment wastes space on the monitor, also noticed the person who left the comment isnt linked up anymore
and when you want input on new things, ask more then 10people, after all we are supposed to be a site over 100,000 people
sorry guys, but this should have been thought out just a tad bit more before releasing. especially with serious emphasis on the Navigation of pages.
ill have to look into all the changes when ive awaken and get in from work

Sorry to bother you again, but I do miss “New works from my watchlist”. I don’t go give comments only by thumbnails, but choose the combination of those few people and specific works, for lack of time. Now we just get thumbnails with no name of artist and maybe not in the chronological order, not sure…

get rid of the works you may have missed, they are not people on my watchlist, if we want to see that, we can go to the “recent work” page, also it does clutter up a cluttered page
ok, off redbubble until tonite..good luck guys

No No No No No.

where the hell has the feed for work accepted or not got to,

and can we have proper pages back fro activity please, instead of the expansion,

these are my only gripes, I like the new layout, and ditching Grooup stuff from my Bmail has saved my poor old befuddled head, thanks for that one especially

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

It looks fantastic! Functionality is fab, the prettiness is uber-dazzling, and my 10-year-old squeaked for joy when he saw it, haha!

Thanks for working so hard for us!! Xavier deserves a shiatsu massage!

its nice

I wish i had time to play. New layout to me at 73yrs is totally confusing. The saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. On the basis i will probably move on to a straight forward program. VERY UNHAPPY OAP

A promising second sequel, showcasing refreshing new talent. 4 stars.

It shocked me when I got up this morning to find the new change, but I will get used to it. Im so used the other way, but we all must move on to try new things, right?

I love the look and appeal of the new layout!! H=Just one thing that I miss, and that is the ability to se only “new work added to my watchlist.” Can we add this feature to our “feeds?” Also – for the challenge events, can there be a “my” challenge events? That way we could track the challenges that we are entered into.
I really really REALLY like the new look, thank you so much for all the hard work that you all put into making RB a great place to show our work. I am very happy!!! :)))))

I like it! My favourite new addition is the Work You May Have Missed. I’ve just discovered there’s the ‘older’ button beneath it and started clicking through and found some wonderful artists I’ve never seen before.

With the exception of the lack of page numbers at the bottom of the activity feed I REALLY like all the changes. I hope you’re able to get those pages numbers back though because like the others who’ve mentioned it, I too have been simply clicking where I left off before I went to bed, commenting and then hitting the back button work my way through all the activity.

It does look fantastic …..fresh and new and clearly a lot of work went into trying to accomodate all the suggestions that have come your way. It’s wonderful the way you do that on Redbubble!! Thank you! :-)

I absolutely hate things continually being tinkered with and don’t think this is an improvement. e.g I clicked on the Challenges link and scrolled down, having to go to the next page to find the two I was interested in. Having clicked on one to see the voting, I clicked the back button which took me back to the first page again so I had to scroll down and go to the next page before I found the next challenge I wanted. I don’t have time for this any more, it’s getting to be too time consuming for me whereas it used to be such a pleasure. Oh and I used to like getting the weekly email telling me of my activity – the new version isn’t worth bothering with at all.

Looks good so far! I like how I can get to my groups easier including the two I host and the group news that will be soo much nicer for us hosts. I also like the forum watch, cause I always forget to check them.

Thanks Guys!

just what the hell have you done? and how do i get back to my comments page? rubbish!

looks great – probably will take some time to get to know all features, but the overall impression is really good – well done!

I hate having to look for the artist’s name at the end after the avatar and the information on it the work they have uploaded. I loved being able to scan down my list and seeing straight away who was there. Apart from that, no worries…........yet.

Work you may have missed. ???
It even shows my recent uploaded work as well as other people who wre not on my watchlist.
Please remove it.

I like it. It’s clean, neat and fast loading. I have always wondered why most sites put the menu on the left side when most folks are right handed. Not sure about the email yet but if there is a way to turn it off then I will be happy. Since I visit the site most every day I haven’t really found the email to be useful.

Suits me fine, nice to see a change now and again, out with the old, in with the new, nothing ever stands still. So, personaly, nice one x

LOVE IT!! Alphabetized groups ~ FABULOUS!!! Great stuff bubble people!

one thing as a user who is logged onto RB for more than 12 hours a day, is that the new system on face value looks very good apart from:-

a) also having replies in my comments box, personally I only need to see who has commented on my work and do not really care if people reply to my comments.

A PROPOSITION PLEASE:-

on my profile page if I am viewing my profile and a particular picture is to have an edit button on that page which takes me straight to the editing page instead of having to back trawl through my bubble art etc, and especially if the art I am looking for is on page 20 or more of my portfolio. So an edit button is essential for me.

Also to have an edit button on any reply I have made so instead of deleting a comment i have made and then retyping I can quickly edit.

Thank you and I hope you take those 2 requests on board.

Steve

New RB is looking good, can’t wait to get some more time to look around!

and further to my post above why have a new work I may have missed that is showing some of my work – that defeats the object.

I was shocked as well, But Then again Change is Good, I will have to Find my Way around again.But Thats All right…..
You guys are doing an Awesome Job
Anna

Sorry guys, out of all the things you have done, this is the worst. If you want to see more than one page of work, you have to click down, and when you come back, you have to go through the same thing again… hate that…. and over and over… I just don’t have the time it takes to do all the things… that are now in place..and some unnecessary….like “missed work”? Will never use it… And I want to see the comments that were made on my work, immediately, so I can know whom to reply to… This is enough to just stop all comments totally… and more…

Holy crap! Alphabetical order groups – you devils!! And I love the new look, great job all round :o)

Sorry…don’t like it at all !! I really preferred my comments on my work and replies seperate

It is way to busy also i
It is more time consuming , in the new work tab the “see more activity” has to be clicked every time to advance to older stuff were as with the old way you would only have to go back a page on your browser and you be on th page you left off on! Now this “see more activity” has to be used

No not good at all I afraid…..........Sorry!!!!!!!
Marsbub

@Christopher E. Re: ”...one of the hugest problems of this site from day one is the NAVIGATION!!!”

Rest assured we’re doing some work on the entire navigation of the site too Christopher – but as you say, it’s far more important than alot of other things and therefore is going to take longer than other things. We are doing more than one thing at once here!

I like the new layout, functionality could be improved. How can I find out if my image has been accepted in to a group? This feature seems to be gone. Please bring it back.

a shocker waking up to .. but , nicely functional and easy navigating.. EXCEPT for one thing.. new works paging.. uggggggggggggggggh.. long pages.. me no like that.. other than that.. the forum topics are the best part.. I also like the six work collage.. nice package here..

One Proposal..
about editing.. needs to be a lot easier than it is now. editing a picture, with no search engine is just crazy.. why not have an edit mode right on the picture.. in the public view mode.. ???? .. where we, as the owner to the picture can edit easily from the public view? and also be able to add to groups from the public view as well.
to search for a picture to edit is just dumb!

really awesome those changes you made. however.. i still think it would be GREAT to have a button to also DELETE messages, comments, answers once you read them… would make things a lot more transparent on the page :)

I think during the hiatuses you should run samples of RB work rather than random youtube nonsense
However I like what I have seen of the new setup

Like the new page and the new ides for Groups Interface. Any chance of a “My work in this group” section?

It is really nice to use. Well organized. Great work!

Am going to give it a go. Looking forward to positive changes….lots of comments too….

Sorry…to have been so negative, in earlier comment…

Love it! Thanks for all the work you guys do! It’s very appreciated

well done I really love the changes for me it makes my bubbling experience alot better…so thanks to bubble for the fantastic work ..

oh, you clever little bubble elves…like it a lot.

great to have my hosting groups right there and also at first i thought i had lost half my other groups,,lol,, then i realised they are all alphabitcally arranged,,hehe,,it will just taking getting used too, Thanks RB :)

im having probs too!...its slowed my pc down soooooo much, images taking ages to load up now !!!!! ;
I agree with
PROPOSITION PLEASE:-
on my profile page if I am viewing my profile and a particular picture is to have an edit button on that page which takes me straight to the editing page instead of having to back trawl through my bubble art etc, and especially if the art I am looking for is on page 20 or more of my portfolio. So an edit button is essential for me.
Also to have an edit button on any reply I have made so instead of deleting a comment i have made and then retyping I can quickly edit.
Thank you and I hope you take those
anna

Oh.. can someone please explain the notification by my email adress I just received when I got a bmail??? ZING.. you have a bmail…? I do not like that either…. anyone else getting this?

Sounds like a good view i will enjoy navigating through the new layout. So much easier to find the groups you host without having to scroll for ages.

What about a real time chat service????

My problem with this is that where you get and give comments on pictures …there are no numbers at the bottom of each page….so you can just go back to a certain page you ended at if you get behind. This way keeps sending you back to the 1st page after you comment or reply to someone. Then you have to go to “more acivity” and keep clicking till you find the page you left off at. I never mined getting a bubblemail about things. That was just how I knew what was going on. If people want to know what’s going on in a forum…all they had to do was go to the group and click on forum. I like the old way better. :)

Can we delete any of the Group News items?

I like the whole set up, but I normally delete my group news after I read it so I know when something newer comes in. There is no way to delete these or even tell us when they came in (no time of any kind, even like (posted 34 mins ago) Any suggestions or idea on this matter?
I do think this way is going to be so much better. Thanks for all your hard work.

It keeps getting better and better!......

@Kelly – You’ll find you can unsubscribe to the BubbleMail email updates straight from the email or within your account settings.

@Ginny + others – Re: Going back to activity feed – we’re aware of it… needs to be fixed.

Hmmm Let’s see…I guess if I hit the back button I will be at the beginning again….going through page after page looking for where I ended off at. Nope. I like the old way better. This takes up too much time…which most of us don’t have.

PS. I’m not fond of the “Pictures I might have missed” section.

Also redbubble can we please have a seperate page please for COMMENTS and REPLIES ? .........................anna : )

Thanks Russell I will look into it!

I do love how it is working…I’m having fun learning it. But to go along with my prior comment, why will it be taking up to 2 hours for our messages to be posted?

I haven’t really explored the new look yet – I’m one of those who find change disconcerting unfortunately – but I do note that I am still getting group bubblemails within my mail – not on the main overview page. Will all group mails be diverted to this front page at some point? Accessing groups is clearly easier but catching and replying to comments does not seem to be – at least to me – though I’ll give it a go for a while and see if I can get used to it. I’m not opposed to progress – lol – I’m just sometimes very slow to catch up with it. I’ll hold off until the return button issue is resolved and see how I feel then.

I also note that the “work you may have missed” feature is not exclusively work from those on my watchlist – are these pieces just randomly selected, from groups I belong to or from RB in general?

Red Bubble in reply to Wulfrunnut question an hour ago …. my roots are grey and my hair is blond so sorry I can’t find it : )

The collapse/expand stuff should be optional.

I have no clue what ‘work you may have missed’ means exactly. Or how it is determined. Would be nice to know…

its pretty

I guess I have to get used to work with the new look, but there are already a few things:
I would like to see the Comments on my work and Replies on my comments seperated from each other.
I won’t miss the work you may have missed section, I can find it myself, thank you!
But what I miss is the Moderation of my work, here can I find that?

Hey! I just found the purdy new layout in the checkout! Nice!

I meant where can I find that, sorry!

this way is too busy, I prefer the previous version…

Much better. This is much more user friendly environment than the previous page, once we get used to what we can do with it.

My select all to delete old bubble mails does not work = (
I love the new look you did Good!!

I don’t like it all. To me the original was much easier to use. I don’t see a place for group moderation unless I missed it. The original was much easier to navigate.

haa haa never mind i found the new work feed lol. I must have been more tired then i thought last night lol. still hard to read though.

Agreed , the change is so haphazard, so many flaws, even the design is so confusing, Plz go back to the older version.

I prefer the old way but only because the new way doesn’t seem to work on my work computer. Will probably have to give up using red bubble as consequence which is a shame.

I tried it on both IE and firefox and it just doesn’t work. The filters link doesn’t expand so I cannot get to anything I used to look at. In IE it says there are errors on the page and in FF it just does nothing when you click the filters or groups link. Also over the last few days I’ve noticed that sometimes the css (or something) doesn’t load (especially for bubblemail) so the pages look very weirdly laid out.

My company is systematically blocking non work related sites and this was one that I could still log into and participate in, now that you guys have coded the pages up in this way guess I’ll have to look elsewhere.

Beautiful !... Maybe a bit confusing s because we still have the habit to find the new works at right….
Cool to be emailed when a bubblemail has been received !

If it’s not broke don’t fix it! change is not always better. Why do people always think they have to constantly change things?

Lot s of effort has gone into this and the appearance is more visually appealing.

I too prefer the old way. The new layout seems more complex, if you haven’t got much time. And the most important, ‘comments’ page, is tucked away.

But we’ll get used to it! Keeps the old brain ticking.

Wow awesome job guys…....much appreciated.

ok I’ll add my 2c. updates are cool. change is hard. when facebook changed its interface people were joining a “bring back the old interface” protest group in droves. now its the old interface.

you could maybe look to the facebook home page layout for some clues on making it better though. i think they’ve nailed it in terms of layout and style. it doesn’t seem busy, yet there’s heaps on the page. moreso than the bubble.

my immediate thoughts are that the 50/50 two column split is more difficult than a 60/40 or 70/30 split. the most used side (in this case, the friend feed) could take up more space with the incidental stuff taking a lesser role. anyway, like i said, 2 cents worth :)

keep it up, we do love ya xxx

OK, so we have a new look. Can’t say that I like it, and it will take a while to determine what, if any, improvements in functionality have actually come into play here. It will definitely take some getting used to but, hey, it’s happened, and I can only trust that the RB powers have only the best intentions.

THE ONE THING that I rejoice to see is the correction of a glaring grammatical error, in the new phrasing of “New work X by …” instead of (user name) added X ‘to their portfolio.” “Their” is plural and does not belong with a singular antecedent. THANK YOU, thank you, RedBubble for finally using proper English.

Like the new page and the new ides for Groups Interface. Any chance of a “My work in this group” section?

RedBubble replied about 2 hours ago

It’s already there in the design … see if you can find it.

Nope, can’t see what I was hoping to see. Can see “Groups that I have featured in”, but was hoping to be able to go a group page and see what works I have already entered. This has to be easier than going to the Edit page for a particular image and scrolling down the list of groups I belong to and seeing whether that image is in that group and then doing the same for other images. This might be easier if the list were in some kind of order (alpahbetical?), but I have never been able to understand the order

. . . WOW STOP, I’ve just checked it is now alphabetical, when did that change?

That’s abig improvement, but I would still like to see from each group’s page which images I have included.

Err, sorry ish.

cheers Steve

to make them better! like this! giddyup!

Kelly wrote : I did the trial (for a couple of hours) I didnt mind it.. But I HATE the “Work you may have missed”… Why? Because I feel that it is forcing the art on to you – and who choses these images?? I had one appear that I didnt particularly like – the person is not on my watchlist – and I think this is a big mistake. In the past if we didnt like certain “Views” or political stance, heck you could even throw religion in there… Now we do not have a choice the work is put there in front of us.. I do not agree with this at all… Maybe Im alone on this – but Im speaking my mind none-the-less…

Answer :
Kelly – the work is from people on your watchlist.

I don’t think this is correct because I have nobody on my watchlist !

Bravo well done…applause…”Ch-ch-Changes…Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes” applause applause…Namaste.

I prefer the old one.

This new change is amzing, specialy (Work you may have missed) now I don’t miss those wonderful works!!!!

Everything is nice, but could you switch left side with the right? It still bothers me a lot. I’d rather have previews of the work in the middle of the screen… Pleeeeeeeeease! :)

The work is not all from our watchlists ...the “work you may have missed” section.
Also…paging back to find the spot you left off on when commenting on peoples work
is VERY confusing. All we needed to do previously was click the arrow page back. Now? we must tread through tons of work we previously commented on, to find our spots again. Makes it extremely difficult for people to keep up…especially if they are gone a few days…let alone even a few hours.

With so many complaints on this vs. the likings to this…..........I am going to go with the idea someone had also posted about giving us the option of how we want our My Bubble formatted. People like choice, they don’t like being forced into something new. And I totally agree with the fact that with this new format, we are going to miss a lot, particularly if we are away from here for several hours. It will become just entirely too frustrating being shoved back to the beginning each time because we can’t use the back button to go where we left off anymore. And also, if this was to improve the look of RB, shouldn’t it be improved for the customers that visit the site instead of the members? I mean the customers are what makes RB money to begin with although I think the presentation to the outside viewers is very pleasant and I like that. It is easy for the viewers, but not for us now it seems lol.

I did Notice That the Missed work is From Everyone on the Site ,and Not just Our own watchlist

Oh, and I do have one little issue, not a problem though, why on earth would RB change everything in the format of our setup for My Bubble after only having worked on it one single week? If it had been me, I would have spent at least a month working on a change this big. And besides, how does 20 opinions out of over 100,000 seem to make the final decision? Only 20??? Here is what RB said and I quote “We’ve been playing around with things on the staging server for a bit over a week with about 20 folks who volunteered to help review the earlier versions.”

Overall I like the changes…..great to have the group I host right there, ease of accessing my groups, groups news separate, saves plowing through bmails, everything accessable I need. I find it user friendly, but I know people in general hate change! You’ll never please all the people all the time, but they’ll get used to it! Re: design someone earlier made a good point that instead of 50/50 split, a 60/40 or less, may be better.
One comment RB made I’d like to disagree with – ” We think groups are first and foremost about people, not the work”. This is perhaps what you’d like but I don’t think it is in reality. It does depend on the size of the group – a small group is more social and intimate and forums more used, but as co-host of a popular large group, the forums are neglected by members and it’s very much about submitting material and getting features. Folks are far more interested in entering challenges than discussing issues. So if you want groups to be more personal, then open up galleries…great idea by the way.
Can’t wait for the new groups pages….looks interesting.

Oh almost forgot to add…....the ‘work you may have missed’......NO I haven’t , as it bears no relation to my favourites, or groups, or watchlist…...not interested in most of what appears to be random stuff, (chosen by who/what?). It’s why I find the RB home page boring! Sorry, a waste of my bubble space.

I agree with Antonio Wall’s comment: more difficult to navigate around the pages! Now when I make a comment and hit the back button, it really takes you back…back to the first page. And what about the page number system? That was very helpful to me in staying caught up! Takes too much time to click back, then expand, then scroll through the ever growing line-up of activity to find where you left off, wash rinse repeat!!! Please bring back the page numbering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People generally dislike change, and my immediate reaction was to fall in with them. I haven’t played with the changes for long, but I can already see improvements. Separating group news from BM is a great idea. A simple, but wonderful improvement is the alphabetization of our groups. In general, I am happy. I do wish that some of the powerful features available on Flickr were available in RB, such as the sorting and grouping capabilities built into Flickr. Overall, good work. Thank you.

Ok, one more little thing…......It was just on my screen that I had 4 new bubblemails…...ummmm I only had one in there LOL!!!

I just came back from my e-mail as well, said I had 2 mails…when I actaully had one.

Okay, I read through most of this, but ran out of time, so I’m really sorry if I’m repeating. My main concern after getting over the initial shock is that I no longer have page numbers at the bottom of my activity feed…If I have to be away for a few days, I know that several pages will go by and I like to start at the first new activity since I was last here…I used to do this by clicking on a page number and then working my way bit-by-bit toward page one. That way, in theory, I didn’t miss so much.

Otherwise, I really like that the group bubblemails are gone…that feed is so much nicer. I also like being able to keep tabs on certain forum discussions…up until now, I had gotten so frustrated in trying to remember what group was talking about what and who had said what, that I quit participating. This will really help me keep track…thanks, I need all the help I can get! :)

Now, one thing I’d really like to see that I haven’t yet, is an option to delete things like you delete bubblemails…specifically, I’m talking about challenge info. I love going into the challenge events tab, but get frustrated seeing so many updates there, especially when Ihaven’t entered that particular challenge. I’d love an option that put all the challenge events in my groups up for me to see, and then let me click specific updates off once I’ve seen them. For instance, do I really need to see that Flowers launched a challenge, then opened a challenge, then closed a challenge, etc. ? Once it’s been closed, I don’t need to see the feed that says it was launched or opened…that just clutters things up and makes it harder to find new challenges. Does that make sense??

All in all, I really appreciate the efforts you take to improve this site! :)

whilst we are on the subject of change – have you restricted the amount of content I can put on my profile page as I can not add any more featured pictures in xsmall format.

thanks

Mybubble page looks great…good job… but I have some comments:

I love the new feature where we can read the reply comment…saving our time…thanks

yeah…I have to agree…not easy navigation…page numbers was faster and easy…

I am missing the group moderation feed…will we be able to see this feed in the future?

Hugs

opsss…sorry for my english again…:)...

Not so sure that I like it. I do like one thing about it though….the MY GROUPS part…I can go straight to the groups I host, and I like the alphabetical order groups as well. BUT I do not like the Work I’ve missed section…most of them are not even on my watchlist, and I do not like filtering through them. Also the Group News I do not like either. I’d prefer to get the bmails simply have to click the delete button on what I do not want to read. Why grip about it….just click delete. Now I have to “weed’ thru the ones I do not want to read, instead of deleting them.

As for the rest of the changes…to be honest I don’t have the time to even try to figure it out yet. I usually come on here long enough in the morning hrs to moderate the groups I am co-host/host of, and to see a few works, make a few comments, answer a few bmails, and then maybe upload a new work of my own. And that used to take me 20 mins maybe 30 at the most. Today I was just so confused I just did the moderation of groups. Now I have other things to get done….and I am hoping to get back on here and hopefully figure this NEW LOOK out.

Don’t get me wrong….CHANGE IS GOOD but I think it was a little too much at one time this time around. We just are all so used to the easy, old way….and it’s so hard to get used to the new. In time maybe we’ll adjust.

OK Now I’ve had a chance to look a bit more I like the group stuff and that. Alphabetical ordering GREAT.
But I totally agree to bring back the page numbering on feeds- ITS ACTUALLY A NIGHTMARE LIKE THIS AND PUTS ME RIGHT OFF COMMENTING ETC ON AS MUCH AS I USUALLY DO and I dont like the feeds being on the left, to me it feels the wrong way round, but it might feel better for left handed people ??
Saying that it might just be me needing to give it more time- but I always liked the fact the last layout was so immediate. Comments showing on the feeds, may speed up viewing replies, so I think I’ll come to appreciate it, but right now it feels like it just clutters up the place. x

I absolutely LOVE it ! Great Job :) :)

No, I can’t find it (and spent some 10 mins trying…), but it would be great to have it. Now where is it then???

only ten mins, I have been at trying to find my work in this group for half an hour and am now blind, I didn’t even know it was there before let alone now !

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

Work you may have missed- seems kinda unessessary too xxxxxx
Sorry to be negative but I’m raising the same points as a LOT of others, please listen RB.

Not sure Ilike this new format,,,, when you click on a work and then go back,, its takes you right back to the first page,,,,, and you have to scroll through it all again, and again.. takes way too much time,,,,, anyone else think this????

STOP CHANGING THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF IT!!!! Redbubble was fine before!!!! It just worked perfectly. First the Bubblemail nonsense which still doesn’t work, now this, which is also far to confusing. The new system is too complicated, confusing, unreliable and time-consuming. Compare it to ‘Flickrmail’ on www.flickr.com, (which is very similar to the old Bubblemail), and it is obvious which is the more effective system. Flickrmail wins hands down every time. I simply cannot afford to spend this much time and energy trying to communicate with other users and deleting previous correspondence. ONE more pointless change which doesn’t work and I am leaving Redbubble and selling my work elsewhere.

OK 45 mins can you, RB, quit it with the cryptic “see if you can find it” and just tell us where it is please

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

I like it…....Especially as I have just started to use the forums so it will be ineresting to use that function….....and seeing the repls y’ and comments come up that will save so much time…...As anything new comes into peoples lifes…it takes a wee bit of time to get used to….BUT I think its Great and I hope RB keeps changing …...you cant please all of the peeps all of the time…..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx…..Well Done…..x

GO BACK TO THE OLD BUBBLE. YOU’RE DRIVING US NUTS. CAN’T EVEN FIND MY FEATURED WORK ANYMORE.. HOW DO I DO THAT NOW.. THE OLD WAY WAS BETTER, WHY FIT WHAT ISN’T BROKEN…

HATE IT! I don’t like all the crap on the page that I don’t want to see. I DO want the filters handy so I can go to the items not on my immediate list so I can see those items by themselves without all the other stuff interfering. Now I have to go through the extra steps of your pull down menu. I want an UN-CLUTTERED navigation and look – you’ve taken away both. BAD, BAD ON REDBUBBLE…..

Deegarra…you can see it if you open the “filter activity page” and click on the feed you want to see…

Deegarra…I meant…filter activity feed…sorry

i like the new group page, i think it gives a chance for everyone to really get to know the artist a bit better. Also i think that watching forums is not the solution to the problems only a temporary fix. I think that a chatroom would be a much better solution (maybe need to have more than one like (social, “talk about art” , etc)

thats my 2 cents
shoaib

NO! I don’t like it! It takes longer to browse. Not so easy to read quickly.When you check-out shots that people have favourited, you cannot easily get back to where you were! I can’t see how to check ‘my featured work’ or ‘challenges’ etc. as easily.

I usually love going through the “activity” listings; I love seeing the new work that people on my watchlist have posted, and also what work they have favorited, as I quite often love the same work they do. BUT…trying to do that today was incredibly tedious and difficult. Now, when I click on a piece of art, and then hit the back button, to get back to the place I was previously at on the activity listings, I get shot all the way back to the first page, and have to scroll down and keep hitting “show more activity” (I’m not sure if those are the exact words, but hopefully you know what I mean, lol…). What this does is it makes me not want to click on any of the links, because I don’t want to have to get sent all the way back to the beginning of the list. But then I’ll miss out on all the wonderful art. So I just have to deal with the frustration of continually having to get sent back to the first page, scrolling down, and hitting “show more activity”, again and again and again to get back to the spot I was at. Not fun at all. I also use the activity page to keep track of people who are kind enough to comment on or favorite my work. This new format makes it so much more difficult, and honestly, just really unpleasant. Sorry!!!! But that’s my opinion.

AAAAA++ in my book. I love change.
Kudos on the group news instead of group mailings.
As a host of a Christian based group, I have been suspended because of subversive elements in my group complaining about daily devotionals and stuff. My co hosts have been suspended for the same reason.
I hope this “news” feature will alleviate the fear some mods have of their members spitefully clicking the report mail button now.
You join a group, you are subject to the views of the hosts that created it.
Thanks guys, and keep the good work coming!

I really love new changes all of them. Now some request for future. Can we more easy to get to edit personal work, without paging every page. Search only allow me to see my work, it would be nice to have EDIT button if you own this work. Thank You!

After using the new page all morning and allowing myself to adjust to it… i have only two major concerns….
1) i will probably interact less with groups i belong to …. before i could get a quick flash of what was currently happening when looking at my groups… now there is just a very sterile looking list
2) “things” you may have missed is redundant…. if i look at my activity monitor i see what i have missed…. the new section often shows me exactly what is in my activity monitor….. and when it isn’t doing that it is showing me art and artists that i have already decided not to follow….. except when looking at my groups which is no longer a quick option

I applaud your efforts and your desire to constantly improve this site. You indeed make me feel that we are in a partnership…. and for that i am greatful…..........b

i like the new layout. change is good and always constant…

I cant see a difference in your/my own watchlist apart from the size of it which gives for more clarity….and all the people on your watchlist are on it with the Images…..The heres what you ve missed part is filling up the space that used to be the space on the left on the old format …...so its being utilised…....I have found a gripe tho for my own usage and that is the Group news…...you have to trawl through it again ,once you have been to the groups page and the back to activity is not where you left it but goes back to the full start of the main page…..I dont like that …..I think change is good it always brings about fresh Ideas and you get to know yourself and your likes and such…and meet more people with their own Ideas about change,which is also refreshing meeting more people through a different aspect other than thier ArtWork….....x….....I too was not a big fan of LOTS of Bmails but I didnt seem to get a lot…..maybe I was in the Groups that only sent out once a week…...Ive not tried all of the functions yet but thats what I have found I like about RB all the new learnings…....I try and use the group forums and have just recently started to introduce more topics in them for members to use…..............I aslo have just started to go into RB’s main forums ,which was interesting,I will keep going there!!! ,so its good to see that you can keep up with all the different threads…....Im away now to push some more buttons….....x

does not work for me – I live in the UAE where RB has been blocked - I have to go around the block using other servers – before I could check on the filters – comments -replies to comments etc – now I have lost all function to “add work” filter feeds and My groups. It was difficult before I could not enter challenges etc – now I am pretty much locked out of everything - is there anyway you can have an option to a not so rigorous webpage—simple access to the functions. I realize this probably doesnt effect many people but I hate to lose all functioality to RB. thanks – dave

Thank goodness for the reduction in bubble mails! I was almost going to start leaving groups from the many emails received each day about groups I was a part of.

I can live with all the other changes for that alone!

Besides my earlier complaints I have some more after working with the new “look” for a few hours.
Please STOP sending me e-mails everytime somebode sent me bmail One is enough!!!!
Numbering the pages works much better for me than “Show older”
And please switch the most important things to the right side of the screen. I mean why is the most expensive spot on a newspaper page on the right top side? Yes, because that’s where the eyes go first. I have to force myself to look at the left side!

Thank you! looks awesome!

May I please opt out of this & return to the older system?
j

I am so appalled! I just went to my bubble….and on the “work you may have missed” there is a picture of a woman’s vagina and her french manicure fingernails laying near it. I am not against this type of image, but MY 5 YR OLD DAUGHTER always looks at RB with me. She LOVES it. I am not going to like it if MY DAUGHTER sees a penis or vagina on the screen!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

I love the new style=]

i think this works great … i do feel for those that have slower pc’s tho

the only feature i miss is the pages because i could navigate thru the work or comments one by one then click back to the page and not loose where i was upto .. now when i do that it goes to the bottom with show more and i have to keep going till i get where i was upto ….. otherwise all good … does anyone read these comments and consider suggestions? just wondering : ))

hmm good, seems the developers have atleast fixed the ordering of the groups in alphabetic order. But hey is something wrong with the “see more activity” functionality. I can not see my previous activity at all.
Moreover, I liked it that way it was before page wise. I

ok guys i don’t mean to complain about the new lay out but a friend of mine just posted a journal regarding the ’ work you may have missed feed” apparently a image of a womans vagina with her finger tips close by popped up on her feed. both my friend and i have children who often will sit and look at work or check out our comments with us. images like this need to be filtered and probably should not be on the feed. i have no issue with images like this… art is art however alot of us do have children that bubble with us, and we’d like to keep them as innocent as long as possible. sorry don’t mean to complain but….

One of my greatest wishes regarding RB has come true: the ALPHABETIC ORDER of my groups! A huge thank you to the team that worked this out !!!!!

Any chance of getting back the page numbers at the bottom of the page of new activity – rather than the new link which just says “see new activity”. This is yet another backward step by RB making it more difficult for people like myself with disabiltiies to participate in the site.

PETER A LITTLE ISSUE Peter, having test driven the trial page and loving it, there is an annoying part that has just come to light with myself and others. When you are commenting on your watchlists new work and have already pressed see more activity, every time you return to the list, it goes back to the original small list you started with. This is quite annoying if you have to keep extend the list sometimes several times and then scroll down the images to find where you were. Just an observation.

And for those who want to turn off the emails, go to edit your profile and untick the box, I found that one!

I’m with Squealia! Really really really don’t like it when I visit a work after opening all the stuff I need to catch up on and when I hit the back button it has closed everything up again. It’s fine if I look at RB once an hour but I have to sleep sometime. Now I have to look at everything without commenting or opening anything. Then I have to open each individual feed to go back and comment or look more closely. Please please bring back pages.

Otherwise things seem okay. Haven’t looked at my groups yet, though.

It looks good, and very easy to navigate. The only thing I find missing (and I noticed it immediately because I always look for it on my page) is the “challenge events” prompt. Can we get that back, please?

Dont like it, want the old one back!!!

Question?
you do some excellent work updating Redbubble.. but I always feel the websites are overlooked.. I often wonder, does anyone look at my website? Can we have a web counter so we can tell how often our personal site is being visited. If we could see how many people are looking at it, it would encourage us to keep it up to date more.. or is there a web counter and I’ve missed it. :-)

I love the new MyBubble, particularly that the actual comments show rather than just who commented. Also that the challenges show on the main page.

I agree that the websites are a little in the background. A counter would be great, yes please.

Now how about section on this that reports stats on Bubble Site activity?

Where is the whats on Button? Ive Installed Red Bubble Art Manager which is Fantastic but I cant seem to find whats on on my Bubble page ?.......Oh its a Tweakers Life…...x…...Sorry another thing was…...I am now watching a few threads in the Forum but there is still no direct link to the main Forum on MYBubble page…...Would it not be a good Idea to have a Direct Link to there….x…....Thats not bad only 3 things…...x…..Still Like though…..x

Now I can use Bubblemails to talk to people again. YES!

Reading what Sheila Pasket saw on her page about an hour ago … I think it’s not acceptable that her privacy was invaded as such. This needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it’s fine. I haven’t read this whole thread, but did you guys know the expanding menus don’t work on the iPhone browser? It really should be mobile platform compatible…

I cannot find the ” My work in this group ” announced in a comment here! Is it reality or just planned, or neither of both?

I personally adore this new overview page structure. I don’t know how to explain why, but it makes me feel… happy :D Maybe is because everything seems more big, comfortable… anyway, great job guys! :)

Awesomeness!! I’m loving the new interface! And thank you sooo much for alphabeting those groups in the edit page!! Definitely made things sooo much easier on my eyes..
Keep up the great work! Thank you! You guys rock.

I love Red Bubble and all the people here..but sorry ..I don’t like the changes to the page..it’s a lot harder for me to find my way around now..I’m getting quite confused..and I keep losing the place I was at….it just doesn’t feel as smooth and easy as the original way..I wish you could change it back..but I guess I’ll just have to go with what’s wanted..I guess it will get easier for me later on ..I hope so.

xxxooo

I will Have to say one Thing, This Morning I had so many new People come to see my Images it isn’t even Funny, and I now have New People watching Me, I do have to ask though on the works we have missed, is it Everyone on the Sites New Work Or is it The People who are watching me ,and also the ones who are on my watch list….....

Thanks
Anna

Hi, I’m back with a question.. Where did the feed for picures that were submitted to groups that I’ve chosen? Cause I’m not seeing that anywhere on my feeds nor seeing my images in front of me after I uploaded it into few groups.. Help?

How will we know which images were rejected from approved groups cause that feed is gone. blinkblink this will get some getting used to. That’s for sure.

activity action list way to big of print and details…would look and feel better flipped to the other side of the page….and in filters….hello…use to be you could click and see if you were featured in a group…and it kept them for a dozen features or so…where in the heck did it go to? Not crazy about the new page…but hopefully you’ll tweak it to prefection! ( ? )

O and Challenges need there own area…so they are not clogging up main feed…

I dont like it!

Can we who dont like it use the old way, and those who like it use the new way?

I just added some pics to some of my groups and cant find the moderated tab so have already forgotten what I entered, how can we keep track after a few days?

Why has no one from RB answered for such a long time?

I agree with @Gili Orr “group moderation of my art” is gone so I am not able to check in order to prevent resubmitting the same work again. Please add this.

I’m enjoying the new release and finding the time to get around the bubble
like jump to a group etc … is alot quicker!
I’m not so sure on the work you may have missed,
seems so many are from members not on my watchlist if i’m going to see work i’ve missed it should be from those on my watchlist. thanks!

this site is getting worst first the mail now the overview. You need to change it back… .. her way was much better. or at lkeast give a choice.. i think : the workes I have missed: should be off that page.

Clearly (looking at all the different opinions in the preceding comments) it is down to a matter of personal taste. It absolutely is not to my taste
Don’t suppose there’s any chance we could have a choice of how are own overview page looks???

I didn’t like it at first but its growing on me. There are some really good new features but I think it looks messier than the old page. I agree with one comment that it would be good to separate comments on my own work and replies to my comments about others. That’s a little confusing. Also I’d like to opt out of the forum section but that doesn’t appear to be an option. I also agree with Wendy JC about the work I may have missed, I would like that if it was my watchlist since I can opt out to have that in my feed so it would be nice in that section. But not random people who I am not watching.

Hi, I’m also the one I like the old format.
I know you guys are working very hard to improve your services even better, I wish I have a choice to keep the old way.

I was happy that you separated the group bubblemails from the others.
I found the group mail which my co-host said he’s sent but I didn’t received before.
I opened and read it.
I clicked to another page, then I realised that that group news has gone FOREVER!!!
Most of the time, I delete after reading it but I wanted to keep that one!!!
We should be able to choose to delete or not.
Or you should make new “Group News” section on the group pages.

Please move the “Work you have missed”?
Thanks!!

where are emails? how come i am getting no emails whereas before i was inundated????

YES to your efforts to improve the site. NO to menus on the right, NO to comments and replies together, NO to ‘Work you may have missed’, NO to the new bmail (old mails first???).

I think you should focus your efforts on basic options that are completely missing, such as showing all works submited to a group on one page. No management of works by group is available now, so we need to browse the entire folio to look for a specific work or to leave and rejoin a group…

H.E.L.P Where is the group moderation button??

Don’t like this at all, awful.

Ah, so that would explain the rather retro style on the overview. It’s ok. I was surprised at first, and wondered where all of the activity filters had gone, but I think I can live with this. Thanks for posting a guide to the new overview.

Agreed, how do you edit stuff! How do you ! How do you send bmails???

There’s plenty of feedback, and I’ve got some too – but is this the best mechanism for feedback?

Can the group hosts PLEASE be asked for feedback on the new group interface as you call it. I really prefer to promote a group of images – not just ONE as your prototype seems to show!!!!!!

Also not a big fan of the new my bubble – the text is too big, get rid of the clutter – the image with typing over it – don’t want it. same for work you may have missed – let me turn it off!!!!

Don’t get me started on the alpha ordering of groups – can you let us order these HOW WE WOULD LIKE to see them. Or at least let us order them in reverse too? Groups names starting with numbers or the letter A will always be at the top / in view… not very fair!!

Last one – put the “My Groups” button back on the top line of buttons – its a royal pain having to go INTO my bubble to get to my groups.

Change is good, but not when you feel so restricted – make it more flexible, give people the ability to tweak it!!!

A quick question, have people noticed that the amount of hits they are getting on there image has gone down, mine has gone down to a quarter of what it was, i am sure it is from the changes that has been brought on. When a person who is on my watch list adds a new work it is impossible to go back and look through the work that i have missed as there is no page gallery any more making it hard to book mark where you where at and also the page refreshes and does not take you to the mark where you left off

First thing this morning switching on to RB and gasped – god what’s happened!!! But then hadn’t had my first cuppa of the day. At lunchtime I thought this looks not bad, confidence growing each hour that passes. Now before going to bed I have decided I really like it. In particular getting an email to tell me I have BM, how cool is that!! Good work. :)))

I know I’ve voiced my opinion before but please give us the choice of the old clean nav or the new slick version…and whatever you do please go back to the numbered new works pages as it’s the only way to keep tabs….sorry to complain, and I really do appreciate the work put into this but….please give up the option;)

great work very appriciated

what is happening to our history?
see more activity does not allow grease monkey to obtain the cache, I also have trouble stepping back after commenting and picking up my browsing from where I left off! It always needs me to use the see more activity button to re-follow my train of thought!
All else I like! :-}

I like it very cool,
but for some reason my groups, work I have missed and the forum thingy buttons just say they are loading and never load, I tried IE and firefox and accepted cookies but they are both doing the same thing… other than that good work!

I wish it would work!!! I can no longer get to my mrjoop Mybubble Overview page.
Jo Mulholland

Hi
well shocked first thing this am when logged on but have been hopping on and off during today.
I like the group list and great that hosts can go straight to their group, great for moderation.
May be my age but the images on the left of new work to small. i liked to see a good representation of the work before i clicked on a image made scanning new work quick. On some of the boxes now i cannot tell what it is.
As to the groups WELL done in alpahbeticail order apart from 1 or 2, but please can we have our Avatar images back, as people winning challenges got that privelege for the month, what can we give them now?
BUt a big bear bug PLEASE can i have number pages back on the reply and comments i spent so long trying to find where i was as had to do 3 feeds to get to my last place and every time i clicked BACkKi went TO THE FIRST PAGE AND TO THE TOP, AHHHHHH it drove me bonkers and stopped me looking throught the comments and new work.
page numbering meant i could see where i had last worked from and worked foreward clicking back and forards up the feed until i got to the fresh comments. With the new way i am going to miss were i am and what i have done.

So PLEASE may i ask for page numbers back and if when you have time a way i can delete the older pages.

But thank you for trying to make it easier and we have lots to learn keep up the great work.
karen : )

sounds like you have those who like this and those who don’t …. just wanted to say what I think….. first I was shocked and then as I have gotten used to it … I love that I can keep my overview page on my watchlist and comments … I think this will save time and effort to see my watchlists new work ! I think it is great ! Yes, change is always hard but I like it… I of course there will be a few wrinkles to iron out. Just wanted to say I like the change !

Most of the changes are GREAT :o) But I do have two complaints -

(1) You can scroll through new work by continually clicking on “Show more activity” at the bottom of the page, but if you view an image then click “Back” it takes you right back to the front page again – argghhhhhhhh… this is a monumental pain in the bum. I can see myself giving up on this real easily!

(2) I found it MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to view works in my Activity Monitor when page numbers were listed… this helped me to remember where I got up to and you could simply skip over a few pages if you wanted to. This format seems a bit messy and hard to keep track of.

But great work with the rest of the changes!

OOps ment to ask why I have over 30 e-mails telling me I have over 30 bmails?

I discovered myself that a work of mine was removed from a challenge, As far as I remember previously there was a filter to see “my work removed from a challenge”. Have you guys taken away that filter?

I like the idea but it’s too busy. Like the old format better

yes i am missing the pagenumbers too! very confusing
for the rest i agree with LisaG. why do you display the whole text of what people have commented? i should be sufficent if i know they have commented.(the way it was before)

I agree with Karen on this point….if you go to comment and then click back to do another, you are back at the front page, and have to scroll down and click on other work…by the time you have commented or looked at new works a few times, you’re going mad and want to give up…this is my only complaint so far…
I love that I can read replies and comments on my own work, right on the page…in fact everything else is great so far…

I like to start where I last left off, so you have to hit the see more activity button at the bottom several times rather than just going to “page 5”, but if you comment on a work and hit the back button, you have to start all over again!! VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way around it is to open in new tab, make your comment, then close that tab and continue on until you want to see another new work and comment, open in new tab, etc!!

The use of “see more activity” tab is very frustrating now… each time you click on a photo you are taken back to page one once you’re done and have to start all over again. Hope that can be fixed somehow?

Now that I had a chance to play with it, I don’t see any real improvements but some annoyances…I second what TickerGirl wrote about…I prefer page numbers. Also “Work you may have missed”...what’s the purpose of this if it’s not on my Watchlist.

Doing this sort of change and working out how to make it happen is I think a lot harder than people realise. My congrats on your efforts.

looks like you can’t please everyone, but I for one like it.

:)

hey, um, where did “Group Moderation Of My Work” go to? I can’t find it in the new feeds.

AS Kreesor said use a new tab every time you go to a work then close the tab,

you are still at the same place you left that way,

I use Opera so it’s real easy for me, dunno about IE never go near the damn thing

I noticed a few requests for a counter too

I don’t think the bubble has one of it’s own, but you can use this

http//www.digits.com

it’s a bit awkward but it does work, I have it on my About page

I put it there so it isn’t on the front page and disappointing me every time I look LOL

hope this helps you

Please give me Group Moderation and page numbers back too

oh yeah still no answer on the “My work in this group” section?

other than that a generally happy bunny

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

JMO,,I liked the old way from back when,,,I base that on I am finding I spend last time here more and more,,this was by far the best site on the net, My Bubble Page sems to cluttered now with stuff,,I applaude trying new things and trying to improve the site,,and I know when change happens you will have the likes and not likes,,but once again its a free site and membership is free,,,unless we sell work and then someone is making money off of our work which in a way kinda means we are paying something, especially if we sell alot of work, then we have kinda shelled in some coin in this, so maybe some options on our home page for customizing it some to our liking would help the artist some,,,just a thought,,still love RB but it is getting very frustrating as of late..not whinning..just being honest

Just to clarify further down the page again -

The ‘Work you may have missed’ is coming from Your Watchlist, including images that people on your watchlist have favourited.

Also, we’re working on the issue of coming back to the activity list at the point you left off at.

As for showing your work in a group, in the groups mockup you’ll see if you click the ‘add work’ button, we’re intending on you being able to see what work you have in the group and what work you don’t have in the group. It’s till a mockup though, so don’t expect it to be exactly like that.

How the hell can I upload my poetry and edit it! Sorry the old version was 10000% better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks RB for continually working on improving things around here. I think the changes will take a little time to get used to but I think it’s for the better so far. I’ve just been through the feedback section of the RB site and there’s heaps of great ideas floating around there. Once I’ve had a more comprehensive play with the new my bubble I might have one or two suggestions, but thanks for all the effort!

Thanks Russell that clears up the my work in this group thing and if it comes out looking like that I’ll shut up !

well about that anyway :-)

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

I love the new My Bubble but I have just encountered something which is very depressing =( .......................on the “Work You May Have Missed”, I thought it was nice to see more pictures, but just now I have encountered a picture on there that is disgusting and depressing (Adulty type image) and it is so depressing =( People do not always use Safe Filter when they should ; ( And now their horrid pictures might pop up any time on My Bubble ; (

I just upload an new work, I submit it to some groups and I can’t see anywhere any not that the work is being accepted or rejected. I sumbit it to a group I host and reject it and still I haven’t got any note for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UM….sorry Russell I have a response to your comment, and I’ve listed the part of your comment that is not true. The “work you may have missed” section IS NOT just from your watchlist. I have NEVER nor will I EVER watch someone who has only NUDE artwork in the list! So NO it’s not. Sorry!!! Just wanted to clarify! And I’m sorry but it should not be ones that others have favorited either. That should be for our watchlist ONLY. I would say that is just my opinion but it’s not it’s the opinion of alot of people!

This is a great site all of you at Red Bubble. It’s so easy to get around. Of course, I don’t know all the tricks but even for a beginner, it makes me want to come back. In other sites, no ones work is up and it feels more like I’m in a little box all on my own, where this is inclusive. Keep up the very good work. You all rock!

i see the mixed reviews here. i really liked it though. thanks for the hard work.

“Also, we’re working on the issue of coming back to the activity list at the point you left off at.”
Thank the Lord! (prostrates self at RB feet)

I have to respond to an earlier statement made that you all think groups are about the people, not the work. Hello? There may be some groups that are social cliques but the vast majority of the groups I am in are about the work, and about very specific work. The gallery idea is fine, but please don’t belittle the hard work we do as group members and moderators to keep the artistic focus of our groups. Hmph.

Aloha Peter, I miss ‘replies to my comments’. It is such a fun way to carry on a conversation thread. Is it here somewhere?

I wonder how the new homepage is going to go down!

It sure is – I haven’t got any note still and I add a second work too and nothing. No note that my work is being accepted or rejected. Thanks for listening & for the feedback.

@Sheila – As I said, it’s work from your watchlist and images that people on your watchlist have favourited.

Great work RB Elves!!! Its a nice clean layout and once you work out where everything is (thanks to Peter’s cool hints up there, way above all these comments) its easy to work your way around. Change can sometimes disrupt things in life, but I feel like its time for a holiday anyway, and you know what they say about that!!!

Well, the jury is out on this, for me…...
I preferred the situation whereby I could come back into the journal/new work/comments area, after having viewed an entry, exactly where i was, rather than now coming back, after viewing an entry, at the beginning again….......
Or am I stuffing up here??
I agree with 40 % of all comments…......why fix it if it ain’t badly broke…....

Big surprise!! Haven’t fully explored it as yet but so far so good!!

OMG it took me forever to scroll to the bottom of this page on fast scroll so i dont know what the majority think i just saw a note when u first posted this about giving it a few days well i did and
I HATE IT and looks like David above me did read them lol so he said 40% dont like it and i agree IF IT AINT BROKE ….......... it goes without saying that i appreciate u trying to keep things moving so why not fix things people complain about …...oh and ive no complaints till now he he

Help me, I’m behind on my RB activity… When I had MANY pages of activity to catch up on, I RELIED on the page numbers at the bottom of my activity page (bottom right) and I could leap from page to page, and GET BACK to the page where I left off when I went exploring and had to come back to my “catch up” work. Please find some way to help me in this way again… with the new design I go back to the TOP of the list of new stuff, when I really want to go to PAGE 3 of the RB activity I have missed. Thanks so much for listening!!!!

It’s certainly better than the first idea for it that was shown a couple of weeks ago, but I’d rather have the old one back.

I’m not having any problems using it, and I do like the my groups and ability to subscribe to forum threads, but the no page numbers for the activity list, full comments, work you may have missed and many of the things the others before me have complained about – too busy looking, etc – are the things I dislike about this new layout.

I don’t find it an improvement. There were some, yes, but couldn’t those have been added to the old version with a little work, rather than totally redoing the layout to this one?

The new one annoys me, and it looks like I have quite a bit of company above.

Just thought I’d say ‘hi’ to all!

“Hi”

While some parts are an improvement the issues that are driving me totally bananas with the new layout already are

1) NO PAGE NOS – and if I click on something that happened 10 hrs ago while I was sleeping as I’m catching up, click ‘back’ – I go straight ‘back’ to the most recent stuff!!! My sanity is at risk here!!!!! Seriously!!!!!

2) Far to many ‘words’ – if someone comments on my work and I want to reply – why do I need to see what they wrote twice???

3) i much preferred the old ‘Hi Kallena’ at the top of my page. Nice, friendly greeting. The new ‘Hey Kallena – see what’s been happening’ makes me feel like I’m being yelled at… and I wouldn’t be looking at my page in the first place unless I already KNEW I wnted to ‘see what’s been happening’...

My other MAJOR FEARS are re the proposals for the ‘Groups’ pages!

Please please please leave the ARTWORK on the overview page for the groups!!!!!!!!!
Surely the ‘artwork’ is the whole point of this whole site??? Not just someone’s so-called subjective opinion re why 1 image out of the MANY submitted is ‘most worthy’?

And – who on earth is going to be qualified to ‘curate’ these ‘so-called galleries’ vs groups – as well as decide the inclusion and exclusion criteria for them? This idea is just asking for the set-up of even more elitist ‘friend cliques’ than there already are here.

Note – sorry if this just sounds like a complaint-fest, but I’d be writing pages if I was going to tell you in detail what I DO like as well…

Russel, I’m with Sheila 100%. I have people on my watchlist that do the most incredible work with landscapes & macro’s, which I absolutely love, but their choice of favourites is often risque work with flters. I really do not think that it is fair to subject us to someone elses choice especially when we may find them offensive.

hello RB,
\well after going through this for a day I have to say it is easy to navigate BUT some people put favorite 50 images and thats all we will see for the longest, since we can only go back that far we will kind of miss the good stuff! Also to get a personal message /bmail is that gone? I can’t find it, I think thats kind of important to some of us. Other than that I like it.

you certainly have people ‘talking’.
But : You can’t please all the people, all of the time!!!

after seeing the new format.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO BURST THE BUBBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the old format worked fine why not just improve that???
and to all the people that use “You can’t please all the people, all of the time!!!” what a cop out
I used to tell people to come and check out the bubble because it was really easy to and heaps of fun that won’t be happening now
can anyone out there convince me why i shouldn’t leave the now broken bubble

Well, First off- REDBUBBLE is My PASSION! Love it, can’t do without it!-THAT being said, I really do not like the new My Bubble layout. I miss the way it was-it was FAR easier for me to use. This new one I need a road map for & a tutorial. BLAH!—Sorry, and no hard feelings, please! I adore you ALL! I am just sad It has changed, and yes, believe me, I AM adaptable to most things. Really! My bMail doesn’t work-can’t erase it or even work with it. Drat!-Sorry, again.--Bea :(

Jakob Nielsen is still spinning.

i think we’ve hit that old-facebook / new-facebook WALL where a new version has to have the same base functionality as the old (even if it is in a different place) or people will find fault with it because they can’t do with it what they were once able to.

the look and feel of the new overview page is very nice, but reading the above comments, it is missing some core functionality from the old L&F that a lot of bubblers found really useful.

if the new L&F is to stay, then fine. but the missing features need to come back or there may be a mini-revolt amongst some bubblers.

nb: the “you have bubble mail”(style) alert is not working – even when I refresh the page.

ps – I agree with the umpteen dozen comments above to the effect that the old bubble was easier and more feature-some than the new bubble.

but I DO LIKE the new bubble-mail with history, so don’t feel despondant – some of the recent changes have been BRILLIANT – especially that one, but … i guess we’re in early-stages, and these things, whilst show-stoppers in peoples minds at the moment will most likely get fixed toute suit by your web gurus.

Regards

What happened to the confirmation messages we used to get after submitting an image to a group? I liked that to make sure it was accepted or not, instead now there is nothing, making me second guess whether I actually clicked a blox to submit work to a group. I agree with others as well about it being too white and busy now, the ability to change the color of the background may be nice.

You close your eyes for forty winks and POP goes your comfort zone. However, nil desperandum. I WILL get to grips with it.
The hope is that it is change for the better and not for changes sake. I am rather worried about the email thing. I rather feel I am being infiltrated so this option not for me.

like all new things takes a little getting used to .am liking how you get to see replies without having to go to the page..no probs with anything else ,prefer getting news of groups on my home page than receiveing in my bubble mail, so far so good….

I don’t really care for the new look, it’s very busy.

I totally agree with Lenka about the Group News not being very functional and also Navigation being a problem.
If we don’t have group bubblemails anymore, then it would at least be helpful to store the Group News in the group so anyone can go to that group and see what’s going on, or if they forgot something previously mentioned then it would be easy to find and refer back to.

..great work guys esp. where groups are concerned- and certainly heading in the right direction……. please can we have a DELETE button for our own page… for group announcements or challenge launches, comments, etc… ANYTHING just to be able to optionally clear some of the clutter off our front page once read -
.
....and judging from the comments above, i think the ‘Work You Have Missed’ probably should be optional or at the very least some filter choice given to the user, as it seems to have upset a lot of people!!

Good Luck with the Inevitable Teething Problems ♥

is no one else having errors with loading it? See my previous comments above

Perhaps this has been said (not reading all above comments) but originally there were numbers at the bottom of the history page which made it much easier to go through your watchlist/replies etc .. i don’t like the new set up, i don’t believe it’s user friendly or provides the options the past layout had.

I miss the COMMENTS ON MY WORK summary and MY WORK FEATURED summary!!

DO NOT LIKE IT…...WHY !!!! I’M MISSING OTHER PEOPLES WORK …....!!!

I have been away for a few days and now trying to go back what used to be a few pages and leave comments on work was quite easy using the fwd and back buttons, now tthe new page just opens into a longer version and defaults back to the short page 1 when I click the back button meaning I have to expand the page again which is VERY time consuming! I will NOT be commenting on work I have missed unless I just happen to stumble upon it.

This problem will seriously effect the way I use Redbubble and I hope it is resolved soon. Unless there is an easier way of going back to view work of people on my watchlist which is a few days old.

Maybe it would be better to concentrate on Imagekind…

Agree with P J, too much clicking involved (e.g. need to open filter submenu first to get to individual sections) and too little navigational help. IMO it does not all need to be on one page.

And WHERE O WHERE has my notification of my work accepted or rejected by a group gone?
I have already noticed that with the no page nos and the super long scrolling that always defaults back to the start that I am missing work I DO want to see – in spite of the irritating ‘work you may have missed’ pictures! I don’t want to be told I ‘might have missed something’ – I much prefer to either find it myself be accident or not miss it in the first place!

I find this MUCH LESS user-friendly and informative than the old overview page. More stuff I don’t need to see and lots less of what I do.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review this again in light of the many comments you are getting – I so want my old ‘friendly’ bubble back – I’ll be left with nowhere else to go for that ‘community feel’ otherwise…..

My morning coffee used to be a gentle amble though comments on my work, replies to my comments and then a look at new work from my watch list. This was followed by a scroll through my groups. If a title or thumbnail caught my eye, I would look at the image, usually leave a comment and then view more of the artist’s work.
I have already abandoned viewing most of the groups. I don’t have time to click on each group individually.
I’m no Luddite but this was an unnecessary amount of change where refinement would have been better.
On a positive note, I’m happy not to have Group BM all the time and I turned off the email to tell me I had a BM!
Please give us a choice.

There is another Problem, Where it says Works you Might have missed, it Shows the Nude Pics, and I have a Safe filter on
Anna

Scrolling through my overview, I don’t like being returned to the beginning after I’ve looked at an image, it gets annoying and can be a long way to resume again, and I miss the previous pages numbers at the bottom for speed scrolling. Otherwise, great job.

You do great work rb, and I ususally love it, but I’m not keen on the new changes. some are good but two in particular I dont like. I used to love having my feeds grouped – I would view all the challenge things, then view all the group moderation things, and so on and end up with the treat of new work. I dont like having them displayed all together chronologically because I find it harder to keep track of my responses. also when I respond to a comment (or similar) and then hit return it takes me back to the first page of activity and I have to forward 5 or 6 or more times to get back to where I was. All in all much more time consuming. And since I dont normally get on here until 11 at night, that is annoying.I want to spend time on rb doing the things I want to do – not navigating!

Ok now… what about the group submission? Before I could see what group accepted my work now you skipped that thing or am I doing something wrong? I can see under my pictures what group it belongs to, but how about journals? There is nowhere on journal page where it belongs to. To check if it was accepted I have to go to each group separately and look in their written work if it’s there or not.

C’mon… That SUCKS!!!

Im Back again, The Works You Missed Section is Driving my Nuts, When I comment on Work, and when Iam done with That Image and want to go to the Next Image It Takes me back to The Front Page again.Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

DanaMS, I found something about the Group submissions. When you have the RedBubble Toolbar installed, there is My Bubble, when you open that, you see My Feeds, and opening that you will find Group Submissions on # 6.
It would have been nice to get some explanation about these things instead of spending hours of frustration!

Just to clarify further down the page again -
The ‘Work you may have missed’ is coming from Your Watchlist, including images that people on your watchlist have favourited.

NO IT’S NOT

Did you see this:

Sylvia Tax 1 day ago
Kelly wrote : I did the trial (for a couple of hours) I didnt mind it.. But I HATE the “Work you may have missed”… Why? Because I feel that it is forcing the art on to you – and who choses these images?? I had one appear that I didnt particularly like – the person is not on my watchlist – and I think this is a big mistake. In the past if we didnt like certain “Views” or political stance, heck you could even throw religion in there… Now we do not have a choice the work is put there in front of us.. I do not agree with this at all… Maybe Im alone on this – but Im speaking my mind none-the-less…
Answer :
Kelly – the work is from people on your watchlist.

I don’t think this is correct because I have nobody on my watchlist !

Ok this is a bit ridiculous-where is the “(said image) was accepted into (said group)-(or not accepted for that matter)??? I really want this back, I am part of many, many groups, and alot have limits on how many images you can add per day, so I go to check if an image was submitted to a group, and I am almost positive I clicked certain boxes to submit it to, but I have no idea if they were denied, and if so, for what reason, or if I never really clicked the box in the first place. If they were denied and I attempt to resubmit them because I think I may have forgotten to check the groups box, that will only serve to frustrate and irritate group hosts, wasting both my time, and theirs.
BRING THIS BACK PLEASE.

Aside from that, please remove the “what you may have missed”—I agree with what most others are saying, I dont want it forced in my face, nor do I want my art forced in other peoples face who have me on their watchlist. As for the group mails all in one place on our front page, I find it rather irritating, even more so than the “new and improved” bubblemail. At least there I had some idea of how much I had to cycle through to see what I want. In my opinion, the change to bubblemail, you took a good thing, made it bad, and with this new page, have made the entire redbubble experience a little worse.
I understand many of us do not like change, myself being one of them. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. I also understand your need to keep Redbubble up to date and running smoothly in your eyes, might I suggest running a beta test and allowing us users who make you money to test your changes and give our opinions before you automatically implement changes so many of us find difficult to navigate and/or even tolerate?

OK – i’m back again too -
With the previous (annoying) group b-mails at least it was possible to immediately delete whatever was uninteresting. With the new ‘group news’ on the overview page I have found that this morning I returned to things that I had already ‘been’ to last night as just from the brief message in the overview I could not remember exactly what it was… and as the ‘message’ is still sitting there it creates the impression that it is new. What a waste of time and VERY frustrating…

And I have not had the time or flexibility in ‘navigating’ to browse a single group since this new page came up…
I appreciate your enormous work in attempting to keep this site ‘up to date’ and make it more ‘useable’ – but in this case the changes are making me feel increasingly isolated from the site as a whole and limited to the extent of the ‘watchlist’ network I have built up to date and the level of activity in that ‘watchlist’ at any given time while before I experienced RB as a ‘boundless’ worldwide community that I could easily access and feel a part of.

I am experiencing an enormous feeling of loss – and that cannot be good.

Ok, after reading the comments about where the group submissions have gone, someone mentioned RB toolbar.. Ummm….. I’d like to ask.. What toolbar do we have to install to get the group submissions feed? And do we really HAVE to download that toolbar in order to see that specific feed? I hope not! My computer can handle so much programs at once.. I know you guys have a lot of kinks to tweak out so I am very patient and will keep exploring the new interface.

I was holding off to give myself time to get used to it and give it a go – I am all for change where needed. Unfortunately the more I use it the more I hate it.

1. The fact that you are always taken back to step one is just unbearable.
2. Valuable page real estate is taken up by things that could be left where they were… view profile, edit profile, sales history.
3. The “work you may have missed” should be removable, or at least collapsible
4. Group news is now more difficult to use because you have to scroll… have an indicator for new unread and have it out of the way separate to but in a similar fashion as the bubblemail

I do like the way My Groups and filter activity feed can be collapsed.

Someone said way back in answer to my emails, that I can adjust my settings. Did they mean block sender? I dont want to block RB I just dont need it ZINGING every 5 minutes! can someone please explain this..
Like a lot of people, Im liking this less and less…. I stayed off completely yestereday – just couldnt get into it!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Hi Kelly, here’s how to fix Zinging of Bmails. If someone hasn’t told you already, you should be able to go into your account and change the option to get an email for each bubblemail you get (under edit profile – uncheck the box for notification of member bubblemails). I just did it myself.

I still hate this new setup! Much more time consuming and confusing! The paging back and forth is ridiculous, and not knowing if your images submitted are accepted or rejected in a group is terrible! Makes me not even want to visit RB anymore. Argh…

Hi RB, now you know I luv ya, but this change, is crap hehe sorry but it is, it look pretty but you have made commenting to all really hard to do, normally when someones art comes up, a person comments on it and once it is sent you can go back to where they were no matter what page they were on, for example, if i am away for a few days i could get over 30 pages to get through, now when i comment it goes back to the beginning and then i have to scroll through lots of pages, this takes time and quite frankly its boring, i also dont like to see what someone has said to me until i open it up, i feel it could make a lot of people not bother going into that persons page, you have no number of pages showing, so when i go back a scroll through i cannot remember where i was, you have made it tedious to do, it has made me wonder if you have forgotton what it is like to have to look and reply to all, so sorry that i dont like this change, dawnx

I’m sure you have our best interests at heart but….why do you have to keep changing things? I was happy the way things were….I knew how to find what I wanted…..I knew how to navigate the site…....just as we get used to something….it changes…...again…..please STOP!

Okay, almost the last straw for me…. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE A NAKED ARSE IN MY “what you have missed” section! Please get rid of this annoying and in your face feature.. PLEEEEEAAASSEEE !! I am clearly not alone on this – and RB have not been in here to address any of the issues that it’s members have.. I find this dissappointing. Okay it is the weekend, however, you chose to launch this on a friday – Someone should be around to look at whats going on…People are not happy for the better part – at least that is what I am seeing from the comments here. :(

I think I am liking this all except for the Group Bmails. I do not like how we are getting those now because first of all, there is no link at the top of the bmail now to get to the group EASILY. And when the person does not include any links in it, I’m sure people are going to miss challenges and other things if it is not on the bmail. At least I know I will be missing more challenges. :( I just wish there was a link within the bmail to the group is all. A lot of people do not put links in their bmails so this always was a help to have it there. I am also not sure about not being able to delete them and holding on to the ones you want to hold on to. I used to hold on to bmails from different groups that showed UP COMING challenges or events that I have to remember. Any suggestions for how we can save or delete them?

Otherwise, now that I’ve played with it a bit, I think I really like this overview we have now. I think once we all get used to it we will think it is the best thing going..lol Or until they change it again..lol

Things look great!

one problem…not sure if it is a bug or it was overlooked, but the “group moderation of my work” option is missing in the feeds. How else is someone to find out if/why there work was rejected from a group? If that option was removed…then rejecting work from a group with a reason is useless…

keep up the great work guys/gals…

Im not against changing and this is okey but it has some things left to fix. It has said before but I list it anyway :))

• I dont like the “Work you may have missed” it is not good that nude pictures shows up. We have children and minor here on RedBubble. Put this in the “filter activity feed” so everyone can choose if they will have it or not.
• I miss that Im not be able to hit the back button and come back to there I was before after commentating or looking on a picture. Now I have to open every picture in another flap (is that the word??) in my Firefox. And that takes time :( Please please fix this.
• I miss that Im not be able to see if my work was accepted to a group or not or rejected from a challenge. I hope this will be fix soon too.
  I think it will be better soon :))
  Its not easy to satisfy every one and you did great and hard work.
  Thank you

I wanted to give this some time before commenting. I thought I’d get used to it. Instead, I’m getting more frustrated the longer I use the new interface.

Work you may have missed. I didn’t miss it, I don’t want it. Six photos in a style I don’t like by a member I have no link to. Add me to the chorus asking to remove it or collapse it or at least make it optional.

Group moderation of my work A useful feature – Gone? Hidden? Broken?

Featured work and featured users Used to be two things. Now one thing. Should be two. Please restore.

Group News. What have I read before? No way to mark as read, delete, etc. Replying is harder than it used to be.

A lot of simple features that took one click now take 2 or 3 or 4 clicks to get to. That’s making it harder to use the site.

The look of the page is more cluttered. I really don’t need to be told about work I might have missed. I really don’t need an advertisement slot for The City or whatever is next – much better to be able to see 3 pieces of group news.

I have found that my work being featured was not making it to my news feed – and is not in the history. I assume that was a bug, as it now is working again with no change at my end.

I used to be able to go straight to page 4 of the feed, now I have to click to extend again and again. If I was going to page 4 once, that’d be a nuisance. If I want to actually use the information on page 4, and look at the works, I have to do it every time, and it makes me want to not bother looking at anyone else’s work.

Actually, the new design overall makes it much harder to look at other people’s work, as every time I do I open myself to a repetitive sequence of clicks and expansions, whereas before it was easy.

Some of the other changes, like putting the groups into alphabetical order, are great and much needed. Overall though, the new interface makes RedBubble harder to use and harder to interact with other users.

Now it’s been a few days since the new RB has been in place so I’ve had a chance to fully explore it and what I have found (and so have many others by reading some of the above comments) is that once we go in to look at work and then want to back-track, it takes us back to the first page. Because of this, I no longer go in look and comment, especially when I know I’m looking at work more than a page away as it’s too much of a hassle to start again on the 1st page each time..it’s very frustrating.. Otherwise, change is good,, but definitely not this one.

I wanted to give it a couple of days before I made a decision …well it’s been a couple of days and I hate it! Infact I hate it so much that it’s made the whole RB experience lose it’s lustre.Please ,at least make it optional so those who do like it can opt in and ALL the rest of us can keep our perfectly functional old format that we were happy with.

I can’t say I like it. I don’t think it’s necessary to see what your Watchlist favourited. I t takes too long to go through it to see any of their new work, and at the risk of sounding selfish, it also takes too long to go through all those favouritings to see who might’ve favourited my work. That’s only to know who to thank. I’m still new and was getting used to the previous set up and it gets disposed of. I have to admit I preferred that one. To me it was simpler and more user friendly. I agree with the last comment.

Yes – seems good BUT (comments as above I agree with) and also there seems to be a wide empty space between laft and right of screen – which makes me have to scroll across to finish reading what is on the rights side of my computer screen. Is it just mine, or are other people noticing this too? Also, has there been a glitch of some sort in redbubble – (or maybe it is just my computer) but the images I load as extras on my uploaded pictures to view are altering – sometimes there are several of the one shot….very frustrating.

Having had several days to use and get used to the new Activity Monitor, I’m in two minds about it, so, for what it’s worth, here’s my opinion:

I quite like having the info which is now on the right-hand side of the page on the RHS of the page.

What I don’t like is the left hand side of the page now:

Minor point, I know, but, it’s too close to the margin.

I really, really don’t need to know that I’ve replied to a comment, nor do I need to read what is said in either a comment on my work, a reply to my comment on someone else’s work before getting to the actual comment/reply, or what I said in a reply to a comment on my work – notice that someone has commented, Favourited, or replied is quite sufficient.

I’m afraid the way the listing of things operates now is terrible – I agree with averyone else – it is now much harder to move through the listing when you have to start at the beginning every time and that there are no actual pages anymore. It’s a big disincentive to looking at the work of those on your Watchlist who happened to have posted earlier than others and are, therefore, off the visible “front” page. Please, return the page system, and the Return to Starting Point when you hit the Back button in your browser.

Contrary to to many comments, I don’t mind the Work You Might Have Missed section, except that half of what is shown there is also in my Activity Monitor and some of the work which shows up in there appears twice!

The Who’s watching me? function had disappeared, I’m glad to see it’s back even though I don’t use it very often. The Watching a Forum feed is very handy – does it also apply to the Forums within Groups?

I love new things, and I know you can’t please everyone, but this one has a number of things which, judging by the comments above, need to be altered to make it a top-notch change. Most of the commenters seem to agree on the things which are unpopular, perhaps these are things you should consider before moving on to more “newness”.

Cheri, there is a link to the group in the Group News. Click on the group name (under the subject title) and it will take you to the group – first it will show the group news that’s posted, but you are in the group so just click on the usual tabs to get to where you want to be. Too bad there is no category to save the group news in the group so we can refer back to it, as you said. I’m afraid I’m missing so many things this way.

There needs to be a way to view and save the Group News in each group so people can refer back to it or if they haven’t been to RB for a day or more, they can just go to each group and see what’s new if they want.

I hate this new overview – the only good thing is the groups being alphabetized!

I appreciate the efforts of redbubble to improve the experience of it’s users.

I love that the groups are now alphabetically listed.
I love the changes made a few weeks ago to bubblemail.
I like the idea of being able to follow forum topics, and will no doubt make use of it.
I really want to love the new interface, but it just does not work. I find that many of that I want to do on the My Activity page are now much harder to do, or impossible. Some examples…

If a group host sends a message asking for assistance/information/opinions, and you want to reply:

- Old interface: Click reply.

- New interface: Click read more.
Then click Overview.
Then scroll to the hosts on the lower right.
Then identify which one sent the message.
Then click on their avatar.
Then click on send them a bmail.

If you want to keep a group message to respond later:
(eg a challenge you’ll need to load a new art work for / a call to help cohost a group you want to think over / etc)

-Old interface: Leave it, and delete messages you don’t want to go back to. Return any time to a finite list of messages you still need to respond to. No problem remembering which ones – it’s the ones you kept in your bmail.

- New interface:
Leave it. Leave every other message you get (you have no choice). Scroll through them two by two trying to find the one you want, which is in no way marked or identified differently from every other message ever sent. Hope you find it. Hope you remember to try. Probably not participate in the challenge / respond to the call for additional hosts / etc.

You want to look at featured users in your groups and congratulate them:

-Old interface: Click featured users in your groups. Click on their avatars and leave a message. Click back, click on other users avaters and leave messages.

-New interface: Click Filter activity feed.
Then click featured users & work.
Then wade through lots of works and try to pick out users.
Click on avatars and leave messages.
Start at the beginning every time.

You want to know if your work has been accepted or rejected:

-Old interface: look at your feed.
or, if you’ve removed it from your default feed Click Group Moderation of your work.

-New interface: Click on your Art tab.
Then click/scroll your way to the specific artwork you’re interested in.
Then click Edit – note where it has been accepted or is still awaiting approval. Have no idea where it’s been rejected.
Then repeat submission to groups that don’t want it, increasing the workload for hosts and wasting everyone’s time.

I quite like the AJAX roll-down styles to the new interface, though like others I’ve noticed a slowing of page loads – as previously responded this is probably transient.

I’ll soon learn to ignore the banner ad slot (currently for The City, previously for this interface change – I hopefully won’t even notice the next edition).

I’ll try to learn to ignore stuff I might have missed, as it’s (so far) entirely stuff I have no connection to or interest in – though it sounds like it’s buggy if it’s delivering adult content to users who asked to have it filtered out. If it needs changing (and it really sounds like it does), please include the option to collapse/remove it.

New format is far too busy for my liking … prefer comments & replies as separate entries not grouped in together … also, how do we know whether our work has been accepted into a group or not now? It doesn’t show anywhere if work was accepted or rejected.

And who were the people you consulted with over this and for how long? Was it road-tested thoroughly by people who don’t drool over you? This is something you need to question. Be careful of those who go “atta boy”. Believe me, they will fawn till the cows come home.

The wonderful Doreen Phillips mailed me a way of finding Group submissions

you have to use this URL http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/activity/submissions

and bingo it’s back, but all on it’s own !

and the distinction between accepted and not is impossible to find unless you really take your time looking for the word not

I hope this is going to be integrated into the feeds menu, but I would ask that when it is, this has the epanded style of comments, coz then it is easy to tell which is which, accepted, single line, not includes the reason message as of old,

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

I embrace change when it is a change for the better.

this is an art site. people who use it consider themselves artists. we just arent smart enough, nor do we care enough (judging by the previous comments) about tech upgrades or dowgradesa as it appears. other than this I think redbubble is one of the best sites on the net, but that is cuz of the people it attracts more so than wizz bang new implemented crap. cheers

Thanks for the link, Kriss, to the group submissions. That will work for me for now, but as you said – it needs to show the reason why images are rejected. I’m a host and I want members to know why their image is rejected and if they can fix it and resubmit.

Be careful of those who go “atta boy”. Believe me, they will fawn till the cows come home.
Too true Darren, its all too easy to say positive comments and I believe a great deal of members dont want to tread on any toes. Hense RB stats (wherever they come from) might not be a true indication of membership happiness with the new system
I have seen a significant drop in views over the last few days (hopefully my images arnt just crap)
I just hope that RB realises buyers are members and members that are overwhelmed with the navigation of a page are likely to drop off real quick

Hey bubble crew. I like everything you do! Except the new overview page

I really tied to get used to the change before blabbing about my feelings.

Everything looks fine. However I miss a couple things from the past.

Now that our overview feed is one long column I find it very difficult to keep up with the activity. I truly miss having page numbers to refer to.

If I want to go view a piece from the feed when I go back to my feed I am thrown back to the top. I have to start all over again. I am a daily, avid user. It is nothing for me to have twenty plus pages to get through. Now I am afraid to venture out as it is a lot of time to get back to where I was.

Also, I only half like replies to comments being posted in the feed. If you get the reply in the feed there is no reason to revisit the work.This is going to have a major impact on the amount of views that people receive. I personally find myself roaming around a lot less because of the new format. I fear I will loose interest if it is not made easier to navigate through my overview page.

I absolutely applaud your constant efforts to streamlining the site. Out of all the other similar sites for artists, the bubble is the easiest to use and looks the best. I feel Redbubble will be the most popular, by far in the future. At this point I am exclusively yours.

Please keep up the great work…

By the way I tried to contact you directly and the page would not open.

Sam Dantone

CRAP

Hear hear!

Couldn’t read EVERY comment (way too many, not enough time) but I see several people have reported the same grievance I have.

Can you hear me?? “If I want to go view a piece from the feed , then go back to my feed, I am thrown back to the top. I have to start all over again.”

Please fix this. It is the ONLY thing I am asking you to change.

doesnt tell you when work has been accepted by a group

Thank you for getting rid of the group bubblemails. I dreaded logging in because of them. >_< I’ll be on more often now. (I guess I just could have deleted them, but I was haunted by the idea that one among them might be super-important.)

There are some of the changes that I can live with ,but is there any way to fix the fact that when I’m trying to go through the new photos that have posted it takes for ever because after each one you always end up back at the first page no matter how you try and do it . And then you have to go through every page once again just to get back to were you left off . This is so very time consuming !!!!!Please is there anyway to fix this ??? Thanks , Carla

I being able to filter the activity feed to find things.

I wish “works I may have missed” could be switched off..

i like redbubble a lot, but i don’t like the new overview page. it no longer belongs to me. i don’t feel at ‘home’ when i look at it, it is harder to see what i want to see and i don’t feel like interacting as much as i used to, which out of interest, would usually be a couple of times a day, each day.

it’s great that you guys are putting so much effort into creating an even better user experience, but in this case, it hasn’t hit the spot. it’s now a harder and less intuitive system, there is more click work needed, and hidden menus are just like big road blocks.

i’m sorry guys, i know only the best intentions went into this upgrade, but it is not a step forward.

cheers.

I am really missing seeing what groups my work is accepted into. I find I now have to keep on going to the ‘edit work’ page and scroll down checking what boxes are ticked – or else to the ‘public view’ page to see the list of what groups the work is in.
Also – I am experiencing EXTREMELY SLOW loading this week… and have even had ‘nothing happen’ – only to then get the message that the ‘server has unexpectedly quit’... I guess you are a bit ‘overloaded with all the changes’?

I mentioned this last time, and I’ll mention it again. Indicating what my Watchlist is favouriting is immaterial to me and just takes up space and creates more searching for what I’m interested in…my Watchlist’s new work, who favourited any of my work, so I can thank them and image acceptances into groups. This was so much easier with the previous set up and wish it was returned. As it is now, if I miss a day or 2 of checking, it’s a lost cause trying to find what I’m interested in. Either please return to the old format, or dispose favouritings of others by Watchlist members, or at least have an option. Cordially, Ron

Scratch that last comment. I just figured it out….but I’m still not fussy on the new overview. I don’t think it’s necessary to inform me I left a comment on my own image, when in reality, it’s a thank you to the person that DID leave a compliment. Don’t see much point for that. Okay, now I’m done.

Well was a bit stressed when I came back to find the site change after I’d just got use to using it how it was . Finelly after a few tries I’ve figured out where you put things . Then I, after doing it myself, find this page that explained it all so thanks for the information and I do like it better this way anyway .Well done. Naomi

Just an extra note, Ive only been on this site for about a month so I don’t really know the working of the site well enough to comment one way or another on whether the change is good or bad.

I’ve posted my feedback in response to a Group News Forum topic, Has RB been less fun?.
