As usual, we get disinformation spilling into the thread. Lets put some facts into the thread for all to see.

When you list a product here, you have to fill out all of the information about it including all the things that Male_M3dia says would be to hard to put into place.

These are just two of the sections that you are required to fill out with every submission to QA, That's the way it works here, and not the way he eludes too.

Everything is already there to do what he says is a monumental task to do in the first place. It is already in place.

If Rendo wants to put something in place, the information should already be there. If it is not, it could only have happened for three reasons.

That info was not required because the product is ancient. (Which means it probably isn't active/shown in the store now anyway)

The Vendor did not fill out the information. (Yep, were all human)

QA did not enforce the info to be filled out before approving the listing.

There's the facts. It is as simple as that..........

Maybe he should just come right out and say, "Don't fix this store, come to another one instead !!!"

Looking at it from an angle that knows how it works, he is doing nothing more but eluding to that without actually saying it.

Its amazing when someone actually puts facts into a thread, versus whatever you want to call the other stuff.

Carry on...........

As you didn't read my comment, I said vendors are not going to go back to old content and change settings. Staff does not have time with their other duties to do this manually. An undertaking this size requires more manpower, and resources and budgets have to be allocated to make this happen.

My scripts and data entry comment stems from the fact of my 20+ years as a systems architect, Bachelors in Computer information Systems and Microsoft Certifications with application design (that's my main gig), what you've shown is WOEFULLY inefficient for updating the thousands and thousands of product records with the proper classifications. You would have actually known that when you navigated to that form from the main menu bar at the top. Now try doing that a few thousand times for each old product. You need an separate form streamlined for data entry or it will take forever for the project to finish. And you need a form that will allow you to directly edit the product records, not log in as each vendor then edit records, which is what you just showed us.

I ended my previous post with saying that that the best hope to get something in place quickly was to encourage vendors to put clearer descriptions on their new products and thumbnails moving forward as it seems most people complaining in the thread are more concerned about not seeing New DS items, not actually searching for Poser items. It's still not going to change the amount of Poser items being released though. By posting that form you basically showed where vendors can put the proper information in their new items, nothing more.
