I always search first, since it's a pet peeve of mine to see double posted threads and all. Does Anyone else think emptees TALK section, would benefit from breaking up into side sections? i know we have " CHAT " "EXCHANGE" and "HYPE" buttons, but I was thinking separate sections for " questions & answers " " designs for sale " ( mostly because I'm getting really tired of seeing so many of the same posts on the front page ) " tee talk " actual posts relevant to the tee industry ( whether it be new line previews, printing methods, and the such ) " maybe contests? " " general " ( everything else : movie news, new music, names to faces ) maybe it's a bad idea, who knows. just getting some input. * i'm aware this is a free website, just saying i would like these things. 2009-07-04T14:28:43-04:00 25 2009-07-03T20:27:37-04:00 48621 false false 13026 324 1 2009-11-08T09:00:23-05:00 539 yea, the "buy my designs" threads have been a little out of control this week. 48621 Post 2009-07-03T20:30:45-04:00 1456951 664 2009-07-03T20:31:48-04:00 I think if the searching was better then the multiple threads on same subjects wouldn't get posted. And it would be much easier to find stuffs. I'll search for things sometimes and threads will come up in the results that i have looked through and had no idea why it got through the filtering. 48621 Post 2009-07-03T20:33:33-04:00 1456991 6884 2009-07-03T20:33:33-04:00 yeah, a better search feature would be nice. I'm just looking for a better way to view the talk posts as is. im picky. i know 48621 Post 2009-07-03T20:41:35-04:00 1457131 324 2009-07-03T20:41:35-04:00 There'd be half as many duplicate threads if the software supported pagination. 48621 Post 2009-07-03T20:46:29-04:00 1457171 5738 2009-07-03T20:46:29-04:00 i had to google what that meant ray. big words 48621 Post 2009-07-03T20:53:31-04:00 1457261 324 2009-07-03T20:53:31-04:00 It's a good idea, the problem to is that people need to start really searching cause easy questions like about getting a printer is posted every other day 48621 Post 2009-07-03T21:05:06-04:00 1457301 2552 2009-07-03T21:05:06-04:00 It's a good idea, but, maybe the "designs for sale" section could be "Market"? Because a lot of people seem to sell stuff here, not only designs. But that's a really good idea. 48621 Post 2009-07-03T21:30:50-04:00 1457501 12918 2009-07-03T21:30:50-04:00 market would be nice. good call appleface 48621 Post 2009-07-03T21:35:57-04:00 1457571 324 2009-07-03T21:35:57-04:00 Changing the name won't help. Maybe an option for artist to _____write in a price, and an option for buyers to filter by price. I think that would be more practical. Filter Designs for sale by: Under $100 Over $100 (something simple, not sure what this part will look like) I really want this, all these sale post are getting out of hand, and the email the designer isn't cutting it any more. I think it would be a great benefit to artist and clients and help with the over posting a little bit. It's about time Emptees had another big update. Please make it. 48621 Post 2009-07-03T21:45:40-04:00 1457661 506 2009-07-03T21:47:39-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quakerninja said:</cite> Changing the name won't help.

Below $100, $100-200, $200-300, Above $300 ? 48621 Post 2009-07-04T01:17:22-04:00 1459511 9208 2009-07-04T01:17:22-04:00 Kingstrike is sorta that site, but invite only. Is there an "open to everyone" site that lets you sell artwork in a sortable, practical way? ('Cause the functionality here is pretty broken when searching for designs for sale.) 48621 Post 2009-07-04T01:19:13-04:00 1459531 5738 2009-07-04T01:19:13-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Chaddoesdesign said:</cite> yea, the "buy my designs" threads have been a little out of control this week.</blockquote> last week a the month bro 48621 Post 2009-07-04T01:41:11-04:00 1459711 2712 2009-07-04T01:41:11-04:00 Also and you already know about this. When I click a tee designed by artist, I want to look at all the artist tees in pretty mode, not go back to each thumbnail.

Alternatively, for the first comment to be reserved (and editable) for detail images. Additionally, out of the various options available when uploading a design, "Vote Now" would be handy for those who enter competition sites frequently. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T04:13:04-04:00 1460331 3086 2009-07-04T04:13:04-04:00 i already said this in an earlier thread, but, a "Preview Tee" splash page before posting. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T04:21:58-04:00 1460351 9208 2009-07-04T04:21:58-04:00 i think there should be a section in a persons profile like on ebay called "feedback". i think it would be useful for people buying designs, getting websites done, hiring designers, and hiring printers. im sure there are trust worthy people and untrustworthy people on this site! i think the people with the most positive feedback should be know as gold star members and i think there should be a recommended section where people recommend the best designers, website builders, and printers 48621 Post 2009-07-04T07:44:09-04:00 1460941 9184 2009-07-04T07:44:09-04:00 <blockquote><cite>benzoe88 said:</cite> and i think there should be a recommended section where people recommend the best designers, website builders, and printers</blockquote> that wouldnt be good, cause then us not so well known people wouldnt be able to get many jobs and it will be the 'rich' get 'richer' while the 'poor' get 'poorer' type thing but a feedback section, or just a comment lke section would be good so we can just talk to other designers without commenting images would be good. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T07:47:41-04:00 1460971 14791 2009-07-04T07:49:11-04:00 i second the notion of having a "market" section and the regular "talk" section. then in the market section you could see right off the bat who has sales or new items etc. sometimes by the time i see someones sale thread its too late....and i become heartbroken... 48621 Post 2009-07-04T09:53:14-04:00 1461561 9982 2009-07-04T09:55:53-04:00 i dont think its a bad thing for designers to post a thread saying 'designs for sale' if its needed, you dont need to look at it if you dont want to. There has been worse silly threads about i.e 'How much do you like bacon?' no offence. personally posting a thread saying 'designs for sale' helped me out alot! 48621 Post 2009-07-04T10:08:45-04:00 1461611 13581 2009-07-04T10:08:45-04:00 i would die if the talk section wasn't just one long ass list. that's actually something i really like. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T10:08:53-04:00 1461621 3515 2009-07-04T10:08:53-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Artist7 said:</cite> i second the notion of having a "market" section and the regular "talk" section. then in the market section you could see right off the bat who has sales or new items etc. sometimes by the time i see someones sale thread its too late....and i become heartbroken...</blockquote> i agree. That sounds like a really good idea. I like how simple emptees is, so only some small revisions should be made. If there are a whole bunch of complex changes, I think emptees will lose something. I also liked Greg's idea about the "vote now" button and the editable details thing. <blockquote><cite>benzoe88 said:</cite> i think there should be a section in a persons profile like on ebay called "feedback". i think it would be useful for people buying designs, getting websites done, hiring designers, and hiring printers. im sure there are trust worthy people and untrustworthy people on this site! i think the people with the most positive feedback should be know as gold star members and i think there should be a recommended section where people recommend the best designers, website builders, and printers</blockquote> I don't want to sound mean, but I think all of those ideas would be really bad. I think it would make it a lot harder for new people to get work with a system like that. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T14:18:34-04:00 1463131 11188 2009-07-04T14:20:41-04:00 The talk section is something I love about this site but if it were divided into slightly more specific categories that would be nice, and also possibly beneficial to the community as a whole. 1. Some sort of general discussion area, names to faces, look what I just bought, etc... Everything we know and love as a community put into one area where we can be a bit less serious. 2. Self promotion, sketches, specific critique and questions relevant to design of all types. This would be a more serious section. 3. Seeking artists section for bands and companies to post in. This also makes it easier for artists to find those notices and get those emails going. This would be a very serious section and not for people asking "how would I start my clothing company" that would go in my #2 section. By dividing these up, it allows quicker access to topics of relevance or irrelevance. Easier flow of information between clothing lines, bands and artists. All at the same time keeping the same general feel of the Emptees talk section that we all know and love. My 2 cents. 48621 Post 2009-07-04T14:28:43-04:00 1463221 13026 2009-07-04T14:29:15-04:00
