I'd much rather have a large distinction between how-tos and creations than how-tos and recipes.

By a large distinction, I mean like a tab. I often get over excited about making something and then discover it's a creation.

Other than that I'd say it's pretty perfect.

28 Dec 20:42
Yeah, we've been planning to make tabs for that, so maybe we can have tabs for - all, how-to's, recipes and creations.

I know this may make me sound lazy lol but I would like it if we had a button at the end of each thread page, that either takes you back to the top of the page, or lets you choose to go back to the main board/other forums eg: crafts
Thank you :D

On the all user blogs it doesn't say who posted them until you actually click on them so at the bottom of each blog could you put who wrote them? Pretty plz

On your profile you should be able to see all your own board posts and board 'new topic' posts and be able to see if you've got replies from your 'new topic' posts

Roma - I've added a switch between all/how to's/creations, is that what you were after? Recipes I'll need to think about...

Opposites - Makes lots of sense, I'll get onto it...

Shivi - The blogs have changed a bit, and there'll be a lot more on the profile side of things soon :)

When your posting projects if I post a portrait photo is chops parts of it off so it should be able to accept both landscape and portrait photos

12 Feb 20:54
have I only just noticed how small the text is? is there something wrong with the text or have you changed it because it's hurting my eyes!

12 Feb 20:58
Is it just the font on the board that's too small or all of it? We changed the font across the site.

12 Feb 21:36
just in the posts

I may have scotopic sensitivity syndrome and the small black font on a white back ground causes havok! (notice I keep going on about stuff i 'have' because I've not been diagnosed for so long it's weird for me to accept it apart from the maths related difficulty i have anywaaays)

definition: http://www.hale.ndo.co.uk/scotopic/definition.htm that's clever putting tiny writing like that on a site about the syndrome!!

example click on the first link (its not that bad but near enough!): http://www.hale.ndo.co.uk/scotopic/

I get worried my posts are too long and I post too much hahaah oo maybe I could do a snippets article about these things.

12 Feb 23:25
I don't know how difficult this would be to set up...but you could have some sort of rating project thing, like five stars, and you could vote on how good or easy the instructions are to follow or whatever

So as well as most favourited and featured, you've got most rated, and maybe that could decide what the featured project is, like whichever project throughout the week got the best rating, that becomes the featured project for the next week. You could maybe go into getting cutoutandkeep points out of that too. Points always make a site popular, even if they don't mean prizes. People just love points.

13 Feb 00:42
Roma - +1 point!

Lots of counts (projects/posts/comments)'ll be coming. As for ratings, I kinda want to keep it *positive* - it'd be bad to have your project rated 1 star by people - also, it's really different for different people - a 5-star knitting project isn't great unless you knit...

However, something to rate the usefulness of the project might be cool - maybe flag steps as tricky or hard to follow or something?

13 Feb 00:58
What about, if you can give something you like a gold star? So, you don't have to add every project to your your favorites, but you can give the ones you like stars.

13 Feb 00:59
it's not really a major problem but me finding instructions hard isn't because of other people it's just cuz of the way my mind works, or doesn't in this case haha

yeh I wouldn't get any points and be aaaaaall sad...even though it is a good idea really though :D

14 Feb 07:56
Yeah I've noticed the font has gotten really small, can you make it bigger please?

14 Feb 12:42
Yeah, I see what you mean about keeping it positive. I'm sensitive enough to take offence on craftster when only one person comments on my project so I definitely think the rating this is a bad idea, unless you have like on craftster a 'This is ace!' button or something. Having said that sometimes on craftster i just want to scream about how ugly what they've created is. I'm quite amazed I've managed to keep my opinions to myself sometimes...

But I think definitely having a button on rating how good or how bad to follow the instructions are, and when you post a version you could post little hints about the instructions and adapt them for the person, like if someone said "put a three inch gap" here (for example) you could say "i needed to put a five inch, watch out for this :-)" or something.

i'm so bad at explaining things.

15 Feb 14:02
So I had to change my view-text-larger to be able to read the posts today.

If a project of mine isn't clear to someone I would hope someone would alert me to "details needed" or "explain more please" so I would know someone would like more details or clarification to be able to make it.

Perhaps a button that would allow someone to inquire more details in a message pop up directed to the crafter that posted the How To or creation perhaps.

15 Feb 15:09
Okay, I think having a flag this step / I need more help button is a good idea.

Sorry about the text, we'll make it larger tonight - is it just the board text or is it the whole site's text that's too small?

28 Feb 05:39
I think we need a bit bigger writing in the sides of the projects. Its not bad when it's full numbers like 2 and stuff, but when its 1/2 and 3/4 you cant see it very well and have to stare a little to hard to read it.

02 Mar 08:46
It's just the board text that is too small.

I've just noticed that all the advertisements on the pages are all down the bottom of the pages instead of along the side so you might want to fix it and the bottom of people's names is chopped off when their name is shown if they've favourited a project.

03 Mar 01:38
I think we should have a photo gallery in our profiles! and my friends are moving all over the place, I liked them better when there on the side or when they have there own tab. I don't know if this is happening to anyone else but there like under and above and everywhere you can imagine. But then when I click edit its all neat....Maybe im just seeing things

05 Mar 22:25
OOO we should have a challenge section on the board

05 Mar 22:38
What do you mean by challenge section missy? Also, is that bug with your friends fixed? Photo gallery coming soon!

06 Mar 03:17
oh when im viewing comments and stuff, the top one is blank. i cant read it :(
