Good point, perhaps: "Be the first to rate the prinability... but not: 0.0 from 0 users." ?

FYI, for those who didn't notice it yet: The NEXT release has now been applied to WWW! So that's upgraded now!

On NEXT, the pre-release version there's a htaccess login. You can use that site with user "beta", password "tester". After that you can register and login, however the accounts aren't copied from the production site. It's meant for testing.

Hi jbeale, it also allows use of URLs with a number, but those aren't as Search Engine friendly. http://youmagine.com/designs/1391 You can find the ID through this json URL: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/fanduct-another-idea.json However YouMagine will always create a name with a number added to it if that's needed to avoid a collision.

Hi Cleven.... what do you mean by view? I can log in, are you sure it's related to the update?

Hi IRobertI, good finding @ pointer slow down. I've noted down the bug.

@ "IMG_8919_2.jpg" that will go... we will stop displaying the file names unless you download them (als future functionality). @nallath: 418: LOL. Nice one... let's add a brewing options with a REST interface! @Dirkels & Skint: Well spotted! I have no idea how this bug got introduced, but it sure is a bug! We'll fix this one before we release. Thanks! Will be fixed! @jbeale: definitely a nice one, and sure is on the list of improvements. We'd also like to tell you when you hit certain milestones with your designs (downloads or fav's), this e-mail is of course unsubscribe-able. Good point. At first there was only the image, but now we added the viewer. I don't like the glitch you get (very short impression of the model and then the "Loading" progress)... I think what you describe sounds good.

@NickFoley and others: The "Edit profile" bug is filed, we'll look into that. There will be sub-categories at some point. We'll ask for input for them as soon as we're ready for that. There will be markdown formatting in all fields except for the abstract. After that I'd like to make this a choice. If you want to use HTML, you just need to select that formatting style. For now, it will be markdown, which is very plain-text readable. It's not perfect, but bbcode's aren't great for this more structured kind of documentation. @hiring: you're right! @partnering with 3DHubs: we had some preliminary talks with them... we think that could work our well for both of us! With the coming releases, collecting is up first, and then following users... @Dirkels: I see why you want this, but it's not easy to implement it without making things less clear. You can use the description and links inside it for creating references to other designs or files. @donations: could work, and I'm definitely open to that. I also like it much more than micro payments for designs. However, we've had suggestions of Flattr and PayPal. In both cases a user needs an account, but we could surely display such as button. We could also put them behind a more neutral "Donate" button. @EldRick: Search will be upgraded a lot in a few weeks. Google is a good suggestion, but we may have something even better planned and which will have more filtering/sorting capabilities and a more website-native feel to it. But first the release we've been working on for the last months...

Hi IRobertl, Thanks for the extensive feedback and for being and sounding critical. It's very helpful! I'm also a bit bothered by the hi-light. I'd love that to be turned off until we're displaying multiple separate parts and the selection actually means something. However this can be changed after the release. I actually want the 3D viewer to be optional, something you can enable with one click. The red outline is meant to be able to select and save a specific (part of a) shape. For voting you need to be logged in, indeed (and thus registered). The watermark is important especially to make sure YouMagine is getting traction. These images are frequently used on blog postings and new articles. I must add that a non-watermarked version is ALWAYS kept on record (and will be made available). @ Page loads: Great! @ Cropping/image size: The aspect ratio and cropping behaviour will be addressed after this release, but will definitely be addressed! @download: if you're logged in this is where you can favorite a design... @ tags / license: makes sense but it's not a very large area. It does put the description almost under the fold, so I'll have to think about this one. Thanks a lot, again!

This discussion will be continued in the thread http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/6273-next-youmagine-pre-release-rfc/ Please head over there!

The NEXT release has now been applied to WWW! So that's upgraded now! Hi All, Request for comments! We're preparing a new release (again) with most of the improvements mentioned in the original topic. The rating is still in there (right now), but we want to change it to a printability rating (easy or hard to print). What do you think, @kolia, @Skint? We wanted to add a more sophisticated "printability indicator", but this could be a first step. The new releases will be prepared and released on "next.youmagine.com" first, before being released on www. This is to prevent us from releasing too soon without enough eyeballs to discover problems.... On next.youmagine.com, there is an extra auth screen so the site is less easy to stumble upon by accident. The login will be username "beta" and password "tester". After that you need to register to the NEXT website, because login information of WWW isn't copied to this testing website. Some highlights of the planned upgrade: Much faster page loads (in most browsers) Major framework upgrade (lots of little improvements) Should be more stable We will get better info when you get a page: "Oops, something went wrong" Privacy fix (no longer can a web-crawler find your e-mail address) Some changes to the 3D viewer (needs more work) Fixed the "Mark as primary" for images you've added to a design. The report/complaint functionality now also tells us who files the complaint so we can get in touch or ask for more information. Blender icon added Many smaller improvements... After this release we'll be improving more frequently... Note that the servers for next.youmagine.com are now in Europe which will make it faster for the majority of users but slower for USA audience. WWW will not be moved right now, but may move in the future, depending on where the most visitors are located by then. Also, we've changed the speed upgrade to not include turbolinks which caused problems in the last release (which was reverted). We did add a lot of caching of pieces of HTML which should speed up page loads quite a lot!! We hope you'll notice a lot of difference! Please visit NEXT.YOUMAGINE.COM if you want to help testing this new release before it goes live! Feel free to use this thread to give (constructive) feedback. Thanks a lot!

@Ian: On the forum I'm YouMagine up to now (Edit: Doh, I meant to say Erik). As soon as the community manager has formally signed up with us, and when we have the blog up I'll announce the community manager (or he will do so himself). @drayson: Changes for speed: clear. We're trying to do even more now that we have rolled back the release. Rating system: There are some reasons why we're introducing this... I personally have trouble finding the best version of a certain solution. The rating can help those results bubble to the top. Currently a "star" is very much dependent on the number of views. The quality of a design isn't measured directly. We can always remove the rating, but I think it could be very useful to filter results. But instead of just defending the rationale, I'm interested to know what your concern is with the ratings. Perhaps we can take them into account or I can explain how we plan to do it. Changes in render/picture view: can you describe what kind of difficulty? Also, is it with the rendered image (yellow on blue) or with the 3D view? With the ratings, we're also introducing the new destination for what used to be the "star" functionality. This means that you can collect things, but the groups/labels to collect in will be introduced later. Right now it's a single group of bookmarks.

We've rolled back to the previous release.... so the rating mechanism and speed improvements are gone, but also the bug under firefox is gone... We'll try to cook up a release again and do more testing. It's always a shame to see browsers behave differently on a problem that doesn't immediately surface. Thanks for providing your feedback!

So far I've hear reports of the problem with: Firefox 28.0 and Windows 7 64bit. Firefox 26.0 on OS X 10.9.3 Firefox 29.0.1 on OS X 10.9.3 Firefox 22 on Ubuntu. For most links you can click you end up on https://www.youmagine.com/designs/%5Bobject%20Object%5D (which is [object Object]) but URL encoded.

Hi Robertl, we don't see the same behavior with Chrome. I'm testing in Firefox now. What browser version and OS are you using?

It's LIVE now!

When are they rejected? We don't actively remove content. Notable exceptions are copyright or trademark infringements, but that isn't detected automatically. What I think you're saying is that the images are rejected without human intervention, right? Could it be the file type? Are you dropping them in the Pictures section?

I've turned off the script that posted updates to this thread. For the discussion about this, see the following post: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/5895-change-the-headline-for-new-posted-design-notifications-here-on-the-forum/

I've fixed the comment (link to Design 99) but also turned it off (no new posts will be made). I think that if they're not concentrated into a single forum that will create LOTS of threads, so that will be annoying too. What if we would create a signature image that is not specific you a user... (like the ones some people use on the forums)? That would be less annoying (because it's quite easy to ignore) but still allow you to get a feel of what is added to YM these days... what do you think?

Edit: we've rolled back this upgrade. But we will try to make it available without the bug that caused us to roll back. My original post was: Good news, everyone! We've just deployed a long over due upgrade to YouMagine that we're pretty excited about! A summary of improvements: 5 star ratings! The current "Star" functionality will be called "Favorite" from now on. Favorites still count as 'votes' or 'likes' for the designs and rankings. Much faster page loads (in most browsers) Major framework upgrade (lots of little improvements) Should be more stable We will get better info when you get a page: "Oops, something went wrong" Privacy fix (no longer can a web-crawler find your e-mail address) Some changes to the 3D viewer (needs more work) Fixed the "Mark as primary" for images you've added to a design. The report/complaint functionality now also tells us who files the complaint so we can get in touch or ask for more information. Blender icon added Many smaller improvements... Let's get into more detail... New major functionality: 5 star rating One major thing that is missing in most 3D file repositories is the ability to find great designs. Right now "Featured designs" is a major part, which means "we think we know what's good for you", even though we could be wrong In addition we're adding filtering. We want to give you some control over filters that can help you with your search. Filters aren't implemented yet, so feel free to provide suggestions to help shape YM Performance: Turbo mode For most browsers that support this it will use a mechanism called Turbolinks. Basically it only downloads parts of the page that actually have changed. For those more technically minded: it won't reload the entire page, DOM and CSS, etc. Testing: help needed over the next few hours/days! Eric S. Raymond once coined this as Linus' law: Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. If you see something wrong with YouMagine, please let us know. I will be monitoring this topic and we can create hotfixes as soon as possible. Future development: you can help! New functionality can also be proposed (not that we don't have ideas and already received a lot of wish-lists). The goal of this topic is testing, for suggestions and requests use the other topic: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/2591-wanted-great-ideas-youmagine/ Kudos to Wilco, Aike, Rene, Davy, Alex and Erik
