Hey errbody!
I think we’ve finally squashed the Gmail junk filter bug, but if you run into anything else please let us know.
Also, if you can think of anything that would make Emptees even more radical please don’t keep it to yourself. It could lead to serious emotional trauma later.

Gmail ate my invite – straight into spam.

Ugh. I hate the internet.
yewknee said about 1 year ago
aside from that – smooth sailing thus far. great work!
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
I’m thinking the spam issues are fixed. I’ve thought this before, so please let me know if anyone has any problems.

um when i signed in just a few minutes ago, it told me that my password was incorrect or the location wasn’t there anymore. then when i pushed “back”, i was in. hmm…

The “Invite” button is missing from the “New Post” spot when on the “People” page.
Just kidding.
sal said about 1 year ago
Oh yeah, my profile stats aren’t ticking over, or is this delayed? Probably delayed.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Hmm.. lemme check on that.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Alright… fixed the bug.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Ok.. for the 3rd time I think I’ve fixed the spam thing. Please let me know if anyone has any emails from Emptees marked as spam.

i’ve tried 4 times to upload a tee. it loads, then nothing. image is 289k and exactly 800×400. any idea?
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Weird.. are you getting an error message at all? Use the “Contact Us” link below and email me the image if you get a sec.

I noticed that the little award on the robot attack design is still a day award instead of a month.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Fixed it.. thanks. Congrats on the win!
Reilly said about 1 year ago
Thanks! Everyone that was involved is very proud of it.

I think the ability to love t-shirt companies and follow users would be two great additional features in my book.

Have those ads always been there? :(
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
The ads were there to begin with, then we removed them to switch to Google, now they’ve been back for a few days. We’ve gotta pay for all this bandwidth some how! :)

Bandwidth, shmandwidth!

i’d like to be able to edit / delete my own discussion posts.
oh, and permalinks to specific comments would be great, too. ;)
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
You can edit/delete your own posts, just click the “Edit Post” button underneath the title.
You can also have a permalink to a specific comment as well. The easiest way to find it would be to look on your profile page under “My Latest Comments” and copy the link like this: http://emptees.com/posts/2-bugs-suggestions-and-bugs#comment_732
electricgecko said about 1 year ago
oh i see – i meant comments to a certain post, not the post itself. my fault. :)
and thanks for the heads up regarding permalinks!
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
I gotcha. We’re actually going to let you delete your own comments soon, so if you mess up you can just delete it and try again.
electricgecko said about 1 year ago
yay!
Joe said about 1 year ago
I’m having trouble submitting a new tee: everything goes fine until I click ‘save’, at which point the arrows start turning and it’s trying to connect to emptees.com, but that will go on indefinitely. My image isn’t that big (152 KB) and it’s definitely the right dimensions, so I don’t know what’s going on.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Hi Joe, yeah there is a bug with some images. Once an image fails, most people are able to hit the back button in their browser and try again and it’ll work.
If it still won’t work doing that, let me know.
Joe said about 1 year ago
I think maybe it’s a browser thing… because I couldn’t get it to work in Safari (even by pressing ‘back’), but it worked without a hitch in Firefox.
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Weird. I’m a Safari dude as well. Well I’m glad you were able to get them added.
jared said about 1 year ago
please make it so when i am prompted to log in, then i log in, it takes me back to where i was going in the first place (especially to the bottom of the comment list). i’ve wasted a good 5 minutes over the past couple days, just scrolling!
ihearithurts said about 1 year ago
Just added this and it’ll be released in the next few days when we do another push. Can’t have you scrolling now.
electricgecko said about 1 year ago
comment deletion works, and uses a nice button, too. thanks a bunch!

Tried editing a post that had an ahref tag in it and every time I tried to click save it took me to the link url.
Reilly said about 1 year ago
Testing testing testing…
testing
Reilly said about 1 year ago
Ah, works now. Maybe I didn’t close my tags or something.
jared said about 1 year ago
okay, so i mentioned the SEO thing the other day, and i just had to change my NAME to get this site the hell off my #2 ranking when you search my name. SORRY!

mitchbones said about 1 year ago
As far as suggestions go, I’m just going to shoot off some.
Maybe having a podcast of some sort ran by one of the less busy members. Where you interview fellow designers and do tutorials, talk about trends, music, etc.
I still think maybe a Jabber or IRC network would be rad.
As far as the forums go, maybe a list of resources (tutorials,brushes,vectors, etc) that people recommend.
Andwhat! said about 1 year ago
i think there should be a “message artist” feature, in order to get in touch privately.
Reilly said 9 months ago
Can we get a way to only show tees that have been printed?
CMYK|BRAD said 9 months ago
or a list that shows the ones that are availible to buy?!
quakerninja said 9 months ago
I like the idea of a tutorials/tips section.

im having some bug where its not letting me upload a file, and not giving me an error.
Im trying to upload a new shirt, that I put up last night, made some changes, went to edit it, wouldnt let me save, deleted the shirt and started over, and now it just gives me the upload field.
any suggestions?
Robert Ottinger said 9 months ago
Have you thought about having an inbox for personal messages? It would be great if we wanna to do business with a particular person and dont have to use a thread to get their attention! I know most people post their email but it might be cool to shoot someone a quick message to their "emptees inbox!"
Do you feel like it would be worth it?
derekdeal said 9 months ago
id like to see the date a tee was posted, even if it follows the same style you have now when addressing time
ex. posted 34 days ago
quakerninja said 9 months ago
I dont have a printing setup so I cant make my own shirts. It would be nice to buy artwork as a print.
ihearithurts said 9 months ago
Is your image RGB and 72 dpi? Are you using Photoshops "Save for web"?
Email works great for this. Were not looking to become another social network.
Thats a good idea.
Using the "Buy Artwork" button simply emails the designer. You two could work out buying it as a print if you wanted to.
andrE w. said 9 months ago
yea i think its a horrible idea having emptees selling prints of designs, sorry.
Randomentity said 9 months ago
it finally let me upload it, the only thing i changed was the "quality" setting on the save for web. the original file was around 290 kb, and the one that ended up working is somewhere around 250. i dont know what was going on.
quakerninja said 9 months ago
ok thanks
AndrewOliv said 9 months ago
how about this. Emptees codes a small store section. In that store is all the TOTM and TOTY available for printing on Canvas or 100lb Glossy stock. Of course this could be lucritive motivation that could be profitable on both emptees and the artists part. even if they are limited edition. Definitely emphasizes that tee shirt art is truely art in every sense and should be excessable in a variety of venues. And obviously if the design is already a companies it doesnt have to be sold without the proper premissions.
Instead of that $200-500 you make for selling your 50 love+ design to a printer. you could potentially have a royalty for a every 15-85.00 print sold. and especially with this community it wouldnt be hard at all to get a steady amount of cash flow that surpasses a flat rate you got for the tee.
ihearithurts said 9 months ago
Interesting idea, but then its not a tee any more. Right?
AndrewOliv said 9 months ago
well its still tee shirt art if that counts. but some of this stuff is definitely good enough to be displayed all over my walls :). ALSO it immortalizes the best designs and kinda shows a sense of recongition to the very best stuff, that it gets displayed as art, not just clothing.
sittingduck said 9 months ago
by the shirts, get em framed. :D
AndrewOliv said 9 months ago
thats bush league! I want fancy art to impress des girlies.
sittingduck said 9 months ago
aw, i personally find framed tees to be more classy, ah well, to each his own.

Took me ages to find this thread, but I think a PM system could work. It would save a lot of 'ATTN: Whoever' threads, and if someone leaves a message on your t-shirt and you dont notice, and theyd like a reply, they dont have to make a thread, and if they reply and you ask them something but they dont know, then you dont have to make a thread and so on.

What about being to "love/favorite" a forum post. I know there are some old posts I still want to write in and searching for them isnt easy sometimes.
Like this one. I forgot what it was called and had to find your profile and find all of the posts you have ever made to get to this one.
Good feature?
heavyprints said 5 months ago
I has a bug. I dont know if anyone has brought it up yet?
Anyway in IE7 the images in posts are getting resized to be crazy small. The images in quotes are still correct. Just not the images in the original post, theyre even smaller than the quote thumbnail. Sometimes when I refresh a thread - it fixes itself. Dunno. IE CSS support FTL!
Also the NSFW and SPOILER tags are kind of hit and miss with it. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.
The actual problem is that mousing over them does not cause them to go away and reveal the text. Maybe IE fails at the hover pseudo class in some new and amazing way?
ez-kun said 5 months ago
YOU SAID IT: IE fails!
godmachine had the same problem. guess its a bitch optimizing a site for IE..
use mozilla, opera, safari, whatever, just stop the nonsense. IE sux, and event they know it!
Sol Amstutz said 5 months ago
can you make a button that lets you skip to the bottom of a post? my scrolling finger is tired...

if you just hit comment on this, itll skip to the bottom automatically.

I found a bug yesterday, but now I cant remember what it was.
So I guess it wasnt a big deal.
Reilly said 5 months ago
Oh yeah, when I log in it takes me to the RSS page.
http://emptees.com/talk.rss
To be exact.
ez-kun said 5 months ago
this happens to me all the time. so, guess its no bug, just promoting rss:P
jaynajaynajayna said 5 months ago
I would love to see views counted on tees.. I think that would be rad. Also someone said before "loving" designers. Even if there was just a feature that emailed us when certain designers we specified posted new designs, etc.

MykeCatastrophic said 5 months ago
Kinda like when you "watch" a thread? I like that idea a lot!
Reilly said 5 months ago
Just because it happens to more than one person doesnt mean theyre doing it on purpose. Though if it is intentional, its sorta bothersome.

Hey I just posted an idea in the big cartel forums... Im not sure how much airtime they get from the head honchos so I figured Id let you know over here.
I just got a job buying for a boutique thats looking to get good, albeit very lesser-known brands in there if possible. So I turned to big cartel and started searching through the stores only to get pretty frustrated since there are absolutely no filter options within clothing. I go into more specific detail about what these filtering options could be.
So yeah! I would love if you would read it:

The ability to 'love' a designer in the same way we love t-shirts, has a little thing with their picture in our profile sayin we love them and most loved designer search thing too.
derekdeal said 4 months ago
if you do a keyword search, it only returns one page of results, but if i click on the actual tag on a tee shirt page, i get all the associated pages.
Found this out trying to sort out the tee off shirts using toffvomit1.

if i do a search in the talk section, and then try to sort by where ive participated, i get a server error.

RustyEight said about 1 month ago
Um there was a whole thread of suggestions at one point somewhere, lets see if I can remember some of them...
• A "Spec" section, where people looking for spec work can post and leave everyone else who doesnt want spec work alone.
• The ability to scroll through the shirts of just one artist. The way its set up now, it goes to the next shirt that was uploaded on that date in general, not the next shirt by that specific artist.
• Restricting the upload to only about 3 shirts a day to keep people from spamming their designs. Its annoying as hell.
• A link to my shirt mock up resource in the tee submission menu would be nice :)
Ill try to find the thread and post it.
*Edit*
Cant find it. Anyone else know where it is?
Ben Danger said about 1 month ago
One thing Ive always wanted is to have the html quick tags or whatever (link, image, nsfw etc) in the "new post" screen. If I make a new post and want to add that stuff I have to open a new tab and load up an existing post and copy and paste the code stuff into my new post tab. ya get me?
RustyEight said about 1 month ago
Oh! I forgot this, make Emptees compatable with CoolIris!

Its supposedly really easy to set up and would be fantastic.
