dear threadless.

Your site's UI needs a little tweak-- it doesn't properly convey what is possibly the most important information in the entire site: what you can and can't buy. Preview thumbnails look just the same for printed designs as unprinted ones. They should really be distinguished (e.g. by an orange halo or outline). That way, I can tell what a designer has had printed just by glancing at his profile ("check me out, I'm a winner" is borken; many prints do not show up there).

And for the last time, why can't I sort scored submissions by final score?

i want to sort by final score too!

grrr

it used to sort according to score.

and um...look at the catalog. that is what you can buy.

timrb on Nov 28 '06 at 6:39pm

westwood: I am aware of that. But it is only clear that the design is for sale if you discover it through the catalog. There are other ways to stumble on it, such as through a preview thumbnail or a blog banner. These (foolishly, if you ask me) do not clearly indicate that the design is a product at Threadless. If you click on it, then you may find out, but most folks don't go clicking on every single preview thumbnail they see.

I really like your idea, timrb.

Redundancy can be a very good thing.

espcecially when people enter a website

through many many different ways.

I swear we used to be able to sort by highest score, as well most recently finished.

It's all gone now. Maybe the feature is in a cache somewhere?

I looked at OBSCUROBUMP for a good thirty seconds before I realized it wasn't a really long, weird acronym.

I like come from behind victories, but if it doesn't work out, I've saved you a seat in the off-season. It's warm because I've been here since December.
