Beta Changelog

posted Nov 12, 2012 in general

412 Comments

Hey everyone, now that beta is pretty much launched, we're going to keep a changelog updated of everything we launch new to the site. We'll keep adding to it as we go. I might create a "Next Up" list so you guys can see what we're planning to fit next but that might be a few more days once I get re-oriented from my trip to Singapore :)

12/17
- Submission page altered to remove extra step in preview
- Collab links in subs now working

12/11
- Fixed default view for products in catalog

11/16-12/4
- Make login keep you on the page you're on
- Tons of holiday sale promotion stuff
- Better submission choosing tools internally for the new site
- More submission comments fixes
- A mega-ton of other random but important boring stuff that I won't bother going into detail on

The last couple weeks have been a bit of a bust for improving the site and more about getting us through the holidays. More meaty stuff to come soon!

11/15
- Changed pagination to be more smart so you can get to end of threads easier
- Added some more styles for formatting comments (though there may be issues with this right now)

11/14
- New navigation that is much smaller
- Added links to the collections within the SHOP nav
- Added direct links into the forums from the PLAY nav
- Removed the tabs from the top bar
- Added a cart icon
- Added the # link in the forum to link to last page
- Removed the aggressive click action on the forum listing page so you can open threads in tabs easier
- Fixed long product titles breaking things
- Fixed screwed up "MADE by" pages

11/12
- Fixes to Facebook login
- Fixes to submission comments
- Allow designs to be shown in addition to photos on product collections pages
- Speed up a slow query in scoring
- An issue with submission slider width

Answers to frequently reported issues

What's with the voting days on challenges?
Currently designs are allowed to be voted on for the entire challenge, so some designs can be voted on for 20+ days. We're going to change this so that each sub gets the same 7 days of voting as the old site.

Why can't I vote on all designs?
Currently you can only vote on designs within a challenge. We're going to be changing that to allow you to vote on all designs at the same time, not just on a per challenge basis.

Why's the nav so big?
We're changing the nav to be smaller.

The site's slow!
We're actively speeding up the site.

Why can't I search for anything other than products?
We're re-doing the search completely and until that is done there will only be product search. In the meantime if you add "site:threadless.com" to a google search it works quite well to search for anything.

Why can't I see the score during the voting period?
We will be adding this back in.

suggestion: fix the Free Tacos button

on Nov. 12, 2012 at 11:17:12

Also - are you guys eventually going to be adding the scoring with number keys that was in Powerscore?

There's actually comments missing from my submission now. (I know because I remember Alex and Jeff trolled me in the first two comments, and now their comments along a great deal of others have vanished.) I don't know if this has something to do with the recent fix or not.

Good to see a changelog though!

The buttons like only participated dont work. Theres no easy way to skip to the last page of a post, e.g the upcoming movies took roughly 24 clicks to get to the last page vs the old 2.

Hi Jake tks for the updates! But where are the Tee-riffic photos on beta? Will the Tee-riffic photos still make Street Team points? Cheers.

is it this kind of changelog?

eyejacker21

on Nov. 13, 2012 at 05:33:55

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Jake. One major issue that I don't see addressed is that some tees that have finished scoring on the old site have not been transferred to our designs section in the new site. I have about 5 designs missing - some of my best ones!! :-(

Thanks for these updates, Jack. I hope the new version will be complete soon, it's still a bit messy and with other various issues, for example in submission like happened to me, see here http://beta.threadless.com/play/forum/post/959668/issues_in_approving_my_design_for_scoring/ . But for the rest, AWESOME graphics, logo and menus, the new site graphically is goin' to rock for sure.

Thanks for the update. When will our "Watch list" start working again? Mine on the beta won't work at all.

Forum filter options is pretty high on the list.

I'm super stoked to release the new, smaller nav, it's looking mighty nice

Godspeed on the changes. Seems like it would have made more sense to put these in place before going live? I find it impossible to use in the meantime.

Thanks for the update! Idk if anyone's pointed this out yet... but it seems that scoring for the challenges is beginning before all the designs have been posted. One of my subs is only getting 3 scoring days. Yikes!

great work guys, keep the newness coming:)

I never used the # link on the old site to go to the last page of a blog (i didn't know it did that), but at least there was a link to all the pages when you opened a blog. on the new site, you'd have to keep clicking 10 times if you want to go to the last page of a blog with 2042 comments.

please get it fixed, Jake!

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 06:08:34

agreed its annoying as hell, I counted on the bigger posts (e.g upcoming movies) it took 24 clicks to get to the last page.

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 08:05:45

We've got a fix in for both issues. I'll let you guys know when it's shipped

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 08:39:27

hashtag

typing a hashtag in front of something makes it huge

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 08:56:12

really?

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 08:56:26

weird

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 09:20:13

AMAZING!

3 designs submitted - Score now!

Glad to see things improving, but can we get rid of the extra step to the forums? The category tabs are already in here, do we need an extra page of category tabs?

on Nov. 14, 2012 at 10:58:35

Damn! I'm on a mac with UK keyboard and there IS NO HASHTAG! (I spent over an hour on google trying to find a solution. . There isn't one. ) Lucky I don't do much on twitter. . .
