I posted this in the Feedback forum, but just wanted to place it here for those who don't go there.... I ll say this again: I know SB needs to make the money, obvious. But this way it's getting out of my reach :( this is what I posted in *Why the changes?* in the other forum.
and one more change which makes it really, really difficult for me to keep on... I was just finishing a SB I made of the third week of our trip, and when I tried to open a page of an old SB, it doesn't have that possibilty anymore.... There is also the fact that, because of the new *packs* my purchased stickers have all been changed of order, so I'm not sure where anything is anymore (I knew by when I bought them, I knew the page each sticker was in) which in 18 pages of stickers is not little time to browse...) It also brings the *packs* page every time one clicks to search for anything, no matter what, it keeps taking you to that... I almost had a heart attack when I clicked the first time after the changes in search for my purchased stickers and told me *sorry you dont have any* I know is a silly thing, one just clicks on STickers in the left side of the page and it goes there...but for someone with my athrosis, arthritis and many other health problems which make at time my right side of the body go paralyzed, is not a nice perspective...
I know you need to make the money....but I'm dissapointed by the way this is going, sorry...:)
The builder's new layout is cool, easier to navigate the pages, and the program as usual: has no rival. I just hope the possibility of some kind of premium membership comes into effect sooner rather than later, for people like me... I have spend money in Scrapblog (and you guys know is not little money I'm talking about) and don't wanna stop doing so...it's just that it's getting out of my league... :(
Hello! Don't forget that these changes are in beta, so if something isn't working, now is the time to tell us. The packs are designed to help with organization, not make it worse. Yikes! So give us all the details about what's bothering you (I know the shift from free stuff to paid stuff is a shock) We are going to always have freebies in Scrapblog, but they may come in new and surprising ways to keep you loving and creating and having a great experience.
Hello MrsPeel, Rebecca..... I've been following this discussion with interest and have continued it under 'Why the Changes?' in 'FEEDBACK'. Personally -my main concern with 'Scrapblog' is that it is stable (doesn't 'go down' too often), simple to use and that photos download easily and speedily and come out as good quality images. It is also important that pictures don't disappear and that the finished scrapblog publishes without difficulty. I'm not so concerned with a vast choice of stickers, backgrounds, themes etc. It is actually more fun to experiment with a limited choice by manipulating and editing what is already on offer. I realise that I might be in the minority with this viewpoint -others might like to add their comments both here and on 'FEEDBACK'.
@ Pauline, you can still get free stickers, there is a lot left still, you just have to click on the right hand side, where it says *show me* drop the arrow and click stickers then click in least credits at the top....you ll get them, they are still there.
@ Rebecca: Thanks for getting back on this. I read in Facebook what Jessica found out for me, and that the open a page from an old SB is still in use, so that makes me sleep a lot tighter.
The problem with the new way the storage is: My purchased sticekrs were in order of buying them, meaning that the ones I bought first were in the last pages, the ones I bought more recently in the first pages...now with the changes, the stickers are all mixed... Even stickers which I bought together, at the same time, because they are from the same kit, are not together anymore...that means I now have to go through all the pages because two stickers that were together before are one in page 6 and the other in page 18 (for example) it would be great if we could have the option to make folders with the stcikers, or group them by some kind of guidance. One thing I saw happening which is good and it did not work before is that now if I search by tags, it will search in my pruchased stickers, if not totally accurately, at least is a more aproxed way to find them.... Sorry about being a pain, you know how we (old and sick and grumpy LOL) people are!!!
I realize that you must make changes and I love some of the new changes and I realize also that you are trying to organize stickers, but the new 'packs' makes it a bit difficult to mix and match. Meaning..I can no longer just purchase certain stickers without purchasing others that I may no need at this time. Geez, I'm right in the middle of making a new SB. Also some of the stickers that are no for sale used to be free and I already have some of these. So, I'd be purchasing some of these again that I already have! I'd love to hear more feedback from other 'friends' here on SB.
You can still browse stickers/backgrounds individually, on the left side of the marketplace window there is a "show me:" dropdown, change it from packs to stickers. Hope this helps!
Alrighty..after thoroughly looking over all the new layouts...I must say that I LOVE it!!! LOVE IT! I discovered that I was still able to retrieve a single sticker (which I was afraid had disappeared) and can find just about anything and the whole thing is so organized. Thanks Scrapblog!!! Once again a job WELL DONE. Faithfully yours
