We uploaded a brand new version of the eSnips Upload Page over the weekend and I just wanted to give you guys the quickie tour of the revised UI flow.
First off, as you can see from the picture above, you can now change the folder you’re uploading to directly from the Upload Page. Up until now, that was only possible from a previous page.
Next up, let’s take a closer look at the uploading tags. Because every file uploaded needs at least one tag, we’re now guessing what Community tag to give it, based on what type of files your uploading. For instance, all picture files now have the default tag of “Photography”. Obviously, that’s not always going to be correct, so please just take an extra second before you click “Upload” to just double check your copacetic with everything written.
The biggest change though, is that descriptions are no longer entered from the main upload page. Now there’s a carousel on the following screen that lets you scroll through images of your recent files photos and edit what you want to say.
Other than that, we also debuted new versions of the Sign In/ Sign Up pages over the weekend, but with no major new components. Since new features often lead to short term bugs, please let us know if your having any problems, though about half of all such issues can usually be resolved by just refreshing the cache on your browser. Thanks!
Comments return to eSnips!
October 29, 2009Everything that has been disabled on eSnips officially works again! That includes comments on profiles, the item page, and all public and private messages.
The big change since the last time you’ve used comments is we’ve installed a Captcha program. As long as you’re a human, it’s really no big deal. You can easily click for a new set of letters if your having trouble reading it, and either capital or lowercase letters will work. We’ve also thrown in some secret, additional measures to help protect you against spam.
We’re sorry about the inconvenience that was the comments being down, but I hope you’ll agree that eSnips is now a much safer site!
(The only exception is folder comments will still be disabled until Sunday. Everything else works 100% now.)
UPDATE: All comments, including folder comments are now working.
