May Suggestions Thread

Post kindly Suggestions only. ''DO NOT'' Post your suggestion in the form of a Demand

--------------------------------------

Do not post site bugs or glitches here.

--------------------------------------

Limit ''ONE'' Suggestion per person per Month.

This site will not give out email addresses to any members of clients that buys art as that would be a breach of information.

Special notes from last month

Pretty sure we will not be having dark mode. That was proved to have less sales and the developer only does things that encourage sales.
Sub collections cause more clicks. Customers do not like many clicks. I am sure we will not have sub collections soon
I have asked several times for LTPs to disappear when over. I have added this again
Triptychs are regularly asked about and this is high on my suggestion list for Feb to Sean
The suggestion about moving images on certain products is well catered for with the templates. If you cannot move an image it means it is the wrong dimension to move in the way you wish it to
Facebook define how images are shared on Facebook and we cannot do anything about that
Discount codes are random or many artists may use the same one. That would not be good for other artists

All suggestions have been sent to Sean except for those above we have discussed already and will not be changed soon

Please may I ask you to include comments to our blogs in the activity feed? I usually check the blog feed page each day for comments https://pixels.com/blogs.html

I think blogs would also get used more if this were included in our activity feed, especially if it is an option on the side panel.

Thank you very much!

I would love an easy ON OFF capability when I upload an image to disable certain products when the design obviously won’t work on them.

This would save so much time over blanking out all the markups.

Hello Abbie, can we please offer covers for iPads/tablets please?

Thanks a lot for all your hard work and all the time you spend for us!

This is one I have been meaning to ask for for a long time.

Is it possible to give us a way to save a draft of an upload for those pesky times when the power bumps and shuts us down right in the middle? It would be so amazing if we could open a saved draft and pick up where we left off.

Thanks for considering!

:)


PS. reading the above notes thanks for letting me know about the discount codes.

I don't know if this has ever been suggested. Or if it's something we can already do, but I just haven't noticed that we can/how to. It occurred to me that on occasion it might be nice to email everyone following us, or that we follow with announcements or stuff.

Not solicitations to vote for us in contests, but things like "new artwork up" or "I've just started a group called _XYZ_" I know we can do this kind of mass email for groups we administer and for those participating in a contest.

Renewing my request for more large print mock-up choices (e.g to share on Pinterest straight from the site). That yellow chair and the white sofa just don't go with anything rustic.

 

Jessica Jenney

I would like it if the new order of our images on the images page was an option, such as a fourth landing default page like, Collections, Images and Shop. The fourth being bestsellers/most popular, so the artist had the option to choose and go back and forth.

 

Bill Swartwout

A "different/additional form of discount" available. I would love to see a "Free Shipping" option on the premium site - paid for my (me) the artist, of course.

 

This has probably been suggested before but it would be very helpful to have an edit button in the comment box when we make a comment on someones image. Even a delete comment button would be OK. Don't know how many times over the years I've needed that option ... and I'm not the only one. Thanks!

I would like the ability to choose a color from within the artwork when selecting a background color for products.

Thank you

I just noticed whilst adding the fulfilment link to a post on FB that Holiday Ornaments are not showing on the product lists and where they are fulfilled from. I presume they are or could be good sellers.

https://pixels.com/global-print-on-demand-manufacturing-network.html

I’m going to be adding the fulfilment link to posts more regularly as i think it may be a help to potential buyers.

Not an idea, just an observation.

Thanks.

Agree with Jessica, return images to our choice for their order, our PP please.

It would be nice to have in the settings the possibility to change the order of your images on FAA and on your Pixels website.
I would suggest the following orders - By most recent - By most favourited - By best sellers - By recent sales - By user order - By size ratio - By random.
This way, you would be able to show to your public the images you think are the most suited for them.

When i try to promote a green regular fit male t-shirt the link defaults back to the black athletic fit t-shirt.

No green choice in athletic fit, athletic fit could do with a bigger colour choice as could female t-shirts.

Regular fit has the most colour choice and should be the default setting and i would love to be able to promote colour specific t-shirt links.

Please could the T-shirt department give the apparel a going over and give us more colours and freedom to promote colour specific links that we can do with most of the other products.

Thanks in advance.

This is really minor, but when I am inside a group and want to submit a photo to the group, when I go to my non-group images and want to search for a photo, the images are first arranged by artist name. Is it possible to have the Image Keywords search option show up first so I don't need to change it each time I do a search? Thank you! :-)

I've asked this before - please, Abbie, can you tell me if there's a chance for it to happen?

I would very much like to have direct deposit as a method for receiving payment from FAA.

I live in Hungary, and Paypal refuses to link my USD account to my PP account - I lose almost 10% of my money on their outrageous transfer and conversion fees if I transfer it to my HUF bank account. I'm sure Hungarians are not the only ones with this problem.
Thank you.

 

Lois Bryan

yeah, please go back to the old image order.

Please make it easier to vote in contests. Why not lay out the images so they can be seen in page views with a link to enlarge and a vote button. Page by page. Right now you have to advance to each image by clicking the arrow. No way I am clicking through 400 plus images. Then you have to remember which you wanted to vote for.

Any possibility of having the 'like' button back (with out having to diminish page size to find it)?

 

Mike Savad

I'd like to be able to switch sort orders myself and the customer should too.

I would like to see TRENDING. Things that are selling across the site, but cross indexed to the keywords I have in my own store, to show those first. So if its spring and people are buying flowers, i'd like that to be first if the buyer clicks on trending.

Putting things in order of popularity doesn't work on art. NEW stuff is what people look at. That's why new shows are on primetime. That's why new fashions are near the door when you walk in. New items are at the top of a menu etc. If people think you stopped updating, they won't come back at all. They will think I died.

My view count is way down since this started. If people see the same things all the time, they will look at it once, then never look again. Just like if a tv channel had nothing but popular things, with new things at a weird time- I would never watch that channel. And I may never go back to it.

That's why I think we should be able to choose what sort order we see in the store.

I would like to see the ability to be notified when a customer leaves a review of one of our products.

 

J L Meadows

I would like to be able to adjust the images for notebooks. They're always off-center. If we could move the images slightly to the left or right, that'd be great.

 

Mary Bedy

1 Year Ago

Please do not take away our option to order our images the way we want them to be seen. That will totally mess me up if the order is not our choice any more.

And what Mike said.

 

Peggy Collins

1 Year Ago

Allow us to order our images as we want them please.

 

Been said already but please bring back OUR ability to sort our images on the Image page. I always look to that page to see what my friends have posted that is NEW. As it is now, unless the member has a Collection titled New Additions or such, you have no idea if they've uploaded anything new.

 

Nancy Griswold

1 Year Ago

Agree with VIVA , return "IMAGES" to our choice for their order.

 

Carol Japp

I would also like to be able to once again choose the order of my images. I personally think it looks better and as an artist, want to have artistic control over how I present my own work....in the way I feel is most aesthetically pleasing.

 

Roger Swezey

Who's idea was it to play around with MY IMAGES???

Bundled ordering a collection by products. Showing products with images on them. Like mockup shower certain with towels or team shirts, or cards with any other gift in mockup display and be able to order all item as a bundle. Or wallart canvas but solid or patterned pillows & blanket. ***Mockup bundle orders by items not images.

 

Multi panels prints (triptychs), please.

Wishes & Dreams... Juz expressing my wish for the month...

To have an option to PayPal, by providing Direct Deposit or Payoneer.

In other platforms, the member simply provides the info where to payout & it goes through...
On the other hand, PayPal is horrific.

When uploading images on Windows I would like to be able to drag and drop images rather than having to select them from the file browser (Windows Explorer)

 

Elena Francis

Please consider direct deposit for those of us not in the USA. Paypal charges us a lot. We have USD accounts the money could be emailed to. This would make it so much better. Thanks!

Re FAA Contests. I address an issue important to me and all who join, to say, that the Published VOTING RULES on
the contest landing page , omit to include, how many votes one can make. I would like it posted that, when a Contest
Admin allows ONE vote only, they say so !

These contests are wonderful for visibility and for supporting the artists who enter. BUT, when the Admin limits the
vote to ONE? who on earth benefits? Result: I no longer enter contests where I am no free to vote as many times
as I wish. (In one recent contest with only one vote, which I found out when I tried to vote a 2nd time and was
told I cannot, so toooo late, rather than when entering/voting.......so I removed my vote for myself, to support
another artist. I won't do that again.)

Please ensure the Contest page includes the number of votes one is allowed, please.

 

Cyril Jayant

Please consider the option of " One image for a week " too for groups submission . That will get a chance to have a good consistency of best selection for the home page to limit 30 Images.
Any possibility for group contest selections done by the admin ?

Is it possible to offer more Themed products for our art?:
Fall: school supplies with artwork.
Summer: More summer themed wear beach clothing etc.
Winter: hats, sweats gloves, scarfs etc
Spring: Umbrellas, belts etc.

This may have been asked before, but I was wondering if there is a way to make our 'Logo' on collections a static position, so it doesn't move when adding images to the collection?

edit: that is, the logo image at position '0' on the collection to stay there even when other images are added to the collection...

Has offering magnets ever been suggested?

 

Douglas Brown

1 Year Ago

The ability to offer a discount code just for multi buy (2 and over) print sales. This would help those who wish to sell Triptychs.

Tom we sell magnets, check Holiday Ornaments which are a 2 in 1, you can hang or stick to your fridge etc.

 

Tom Schwabel

1 Year Ago

The ornament option to me wasn't obvious as a magnet. Think it might be better to have a separate magnet product category.

And again, I think triptychs would sell more easily if there was a single order option for the buyer. Ordering 3 different things is confusing and will likely cause many to decide otherwise.

 

Abbie Shores

1 Year Ago

Tom, magnets will be advertised as such soon

 

Beverly Brown

1 Year Ago

I'd love to be able to offer product-specific discount codes (i.e. prints only or greeting cards only). If that's not an option, maybe it would be possible to offer a discount code for prints or products.

(Also second Douglas' suggestion for discount codes on multiple print purchases.)

Thanks!

 

Suggest Vera Wang style masks. Work better, are much more comfortable, and show images very well. REMOVED BY STAFF

 

I want art in private collections to actually be private, for some reason I can't get any action on this no matter WHO I ask. This is the only way I can work around the horrendous new sort order without deleting images... which I'm about to start doing. If I could sort my art the way I want I would be adding art to the site instead of removing it. I'm sitting on literally dozens of finished pieces because for the last 11 years I have preferred to post all my art here first for Google reasons, but if there are no solutions then apparently I'm going to have to rethink where my "home base" is. Please don't make me do that.

Would love to see some new information added to the Image Analytics Dashboard. In addition to Visitors, Comments, and Favorites how about add a few more things. Total number of sales, Ranking of collections based on number of sales and also based on dollar amount, Ranking of images based on dollar amount they have generated. Just a few ideas. Another website that I use gives stats like these on their analytics page and I genuinely find the information helpful when I am trying to get inspired regarding what to upload more of. Thank you Abbie!

Please provide a discussion thread filter, designed to allow us to easily see posts to the thread we have already made.

This would make it much easier not to repeat oneself.

This is a question about common courtesy in the forum.
I recently asked a question in the discussion area, an artist responded, I went to the link to read what had happened and was on my way back to my opened discussion to thank the artist and my discussion was closed suddenly and made private. May I please ask that you would please consider adding a comment such as "sorry, this has to be closed" or ''this has to be closed?'' before closing so I do not look ungrateful to an artist who tried to help me. It would have been nice to say thank you and then I would have closed it. I do not conduct myself this way. It made me look like I was rude. Thank you in advance for considering this question.

 

I second Revad's suggestion. Especially on an image thread. I struggle to figure out what images I have already posted.

"Please provide a discussion thread filter, designed to allow us to easily see posts to the thread we have already made. This would make it much easier not to repeat oneself."

I would love to see the photography category broken up in at least 3 sub-categories: Digital, Analog, and Alternative Processes.

Actually, for the painting category, ! like to see the same, Digital and Conventional (if that is the right term)

I thought of something that would be useful. I was wondering if we could have an icon with a link to FAA or Pixels. It would help to have that on my desk top or even on an ipad.

Good afternoon All, and especially hard working FAA staff;
Would love to see some extras available under our blogs, namely:
- links to our social media on each blog post, not just at the top heading
- ability to include more than one image
- visitor counts
I keep publishing blog posts, but only occasionally get proof that someone reads it!
All the best,
Peter Brighouse
