Right after the morphing of KaRay into AndRay, she started delisting; and never posted on the boards since.

Good for her - she's too good of a seller to be associated with such a scam site.

They just lost one of the most helpful people they had left. It's gotta make other cheerleaders stop and think. I think the new head cheerleader is already getting on some people's nerves from the sounds of the posts we saw earlier.

This is just my opinion.
I used to check the Share Your Wares thread every day. I got some really cool gift ideas. Now that it's a weekly thing, it's just too much work wading through a whole week at a time.

Hi xxxxx,
If you're checking this thread on dial-up, I feel for you.
I thought the past couple of weeks have been very productive. The idea was to enable people to find answers fast and get back to work, and we have accomplished that I think.
Another reason for the single thread is because not everyone visits the boards daily. In fact, most people stop in just on the weekends. According to my traffic reports Thu, Fri, Sat are the bussiest days. The single thread allows those that posted an item or 2 on Mon, or Tue to get equal exposure.
If anyone has any suggestions that will benefit everyone, I'm game.
As I mentioned before, this is a place of business, and if we can somehow maintain some order, we will all benefit in the end.
One possible solution might be if we could all limit the size of the images to , let's say 200 x 200 pixels. That will speed up the loading time at least.
What do you guys think?

Most of my images are 250 X 250. I would have to make an extra 200 X 200 version of everything? I already make 2 versions of every image...one uncompressed for auto-upload since most auto uploaders have a built-in compression factor anyway, so I do that one to avoid having that one being overcompressed. Then I make a second version for my actual listing that is compressed 8% to cut down on KB's but not so much that the quality is degraded too much. I really don't want to have to make a 3rd version for the share your wares thread.
I would be willing to limit the number of items I show on this thread to 1. I have already been limiting it to no more than 3. I would rather do that than make special sized images for this thread.

Just one more post about picture size and then I'll hush.
KB size is more important than pixel size when it comes to loading speed. If you right-click on the images, you will see some that are small, yet quite large in kilobytes. So just reducing pixel size doesn't always solve the problem.
If you don't know how to compress an image, there are lots of programs out there that can do that. I use Paint Shop Pro, so I compress mine in that program. I think there are many others that are cheaper than PSP, and there might even be an online service that is free. I haven't checked in sooo long. This is something that is useful for much more than just posting on this thread. Compressing your images before putting them in your listings also speeds up the loading time of your listing, and buyers love fast loading listings.

Hi xxx,
You're right size does matter. There are some free image editors out there, I will dig some up and post.
limiting the amount of images may not help cause the idea is to post as you list.
I was thinking that we have a Misc board that is not being used. So, what do you guys think about moving the Share Your Wares thread over there, and at least until we grow a little more we can have more frequent threads. This way they are all in one place so they are easier to go through and see who listed what, when ...
and it keeps the clutter out of this one.
It also gets us checking other boards cause we have neglected them.
Now I have something to share also. No, not a listing. I have been trying to finish this page but kept running into problems with one of the browsers so I appologize to all the Firefox users out there, but it ain't happ'nin.

Hi again xxx,
Do you think buyers will frequent the Miscellaneous thread? I think we have been posting the Share Your Wares thread on the most frequented board, which is this board, in hopes of getting exposure for our items. Like you said, the Miscellaneous board is not being used, so how much exposure will we get for our items there?
The number of posts is what piques someone's interest in a board. They look at it and say, not much going on there, oh but that one is real popular. I'll look in on that popular one. Now, if we all start posting a lot on the miscellaneous thread, then that might help to draw some lookers in that would see our wares on the share your wares thread, so it could work.
While I do like showing my wares to the other sellers and seeing theirs as much as the next person, my main motive for posting my items here is hopefully to inspire a sale eventually.

My two cents ... I like the share your wares here, I like it daily, so I don't have to go thru a long list everyday to see what I already saw the day before. Just my opinion, but that is also kinda why I don't share as much, the long thread drives me a little insane after awhile. Plus, if someone ran a special for just one day ..say Tuesday, we have to look at it all week and say crap, I missed it! lol! You know I hate to say anything at all, but we have already had a lot of changes around here ...seriously, let's maybe keep some things the same, reason being, if anyone else is like me, sometimes you just can't learn new things as fast and trying to keep up would only turn me off.

Hi guys,
If you'd rather do the daily, that's fine with me. I'm not going to argue - I'm out-numbered
Besides you post more often than I do, I'm simply trying to avoid the chaos that happens when there's too much going on and some people lose it.
We can start a new thread tomorrow, this one is getting kinda slow to load.
It would be neat to see some of the stuff that the contestants have listed.
I wanna go check on those numbers. Are they in yet?

My points bolded above in Red.
Yes, they have been doing everything in their power to GET YOU BACK TO WORK, since the big weekend they lost some of their best sellers. But of course they will tell you it was the sellers fault.
"If we can somehow maintain some order..." That line just makes me want toÂ
What.....you cannot keep control with your freaking delete keys?????
"Your size does matter." mmmmmm, sometimes but better left for another "topic"Â
"Keep the clutter out"... sooo, peoples products that they are trying to sell is clutter on the boards? What the hell else are you supposed to do there? You cannot talk about business, traffic or sales reports on the site you are selling at. Aren't you sick of talking about listing and how YOU can direct traffic. Don't you just wanna say what is WP doing? But ya know you would get the big "D" delete!
"I'm simply trying to avoid the chaos that happens when there's too much going on and some people lose it."
What this wonderful friend of Rays is REALLY trying to say is, we do not want another one of those weekends where people ask questions of us and start to see our TRUE NATURE. The less time you spend on these boards you will not have time to notice any deleted posts or catch anything that could possibly QUESTION YOUR FAITH IN WP!
Nice little dictator huh?
That one is a keeper, put her/him in charge Ray!!Â
