Okay, we've now had the revamped Item Management page and the new CW Shops for awhile and honestly, I think they're great, but there are a lot of things that could be done to improve functionality and usability (as well as possibly help reduce some of the loading).

Item Management Page: [li]Firstly, it's showing me 22 pages to click through, when I only actually have 17 pages of releases (omg so many). [li]Tabs to organize (much the way that say, the battle page, now has challenger tabs with different categories):

  • Tab 1: Items with unfilled batches still available
  • Tab 2: Items in your CW Shop
  • Tab 3: Items with no batches left to fill [li]Remove the item preview - they're broken anyhow, and you can always just hover over the CI (leave in the item image, hover ability, and move the "Wardrobe Layer: X" to just below that) I think that this would help out a lot in keeping things organized as well as helping reduce load on the pages (since there won't be an excess of items that don't need to be in a specific category).

Custom Wearable Shops: [li]Get rid of the "All" category - rename it "Main" and allow users to choose what appears there (by only showing items that are left "unsorted"). Honestly, I just temporarily "retired" a bunch of items from my shop because the page load took forever and you had to scroll endlessly to get to the new items at the bottom. It is also extremely difficult to find newly added/readded items in shops if they're not actually brand new, since they appear wherever they fall based on item ID. [li]Show categorized items only in their correct category, not also in the All/Main page. [li]Allow users to completely remove items (as in, not have them appear in the shop at all anymore, not just remove copies from view or delete the price so they can't be bought) from the CW Shop with the caveat that it can never be re-added/re-slotted (as in, when you pull it from the shop, it gets moved to your -hopefully- revamped Item Management page where it goes automatically to the retired forever section and cannot be slotted again or put back in the shop. Once it's gone, it's gone. This was something that used to happen when all "shopped" cws were in the Cash Shop itself - we could add something to it, but if we removed it, it would not be allowed to be re-added, so I'm sure there's coding that can be done to make this work.

  • This would help reduce lag on the shop management pages by quite a lot, since there will be less items to load. [li]Remove the usernames and headshots of Shop Followers - I don't need to know who follows me honestly, I'm sure nobody else does either. It would really drastically reduce the load on that page (which sometimes lags monstrously for me). Its not that I don't care or appreciate that I have shop followers - I really do - but I don't see the need for that huge list. [li]Please show the proper category text for each category, regardless of whether there are items in there or not. Currently, if I do not have any item in a particular category (say, Retired or Seasonal), my category description/text displays whatever was the description/text for the last "valid" category I viewed (by valid I mean one with items in it). So, if I go directly from "All" to "Seasonal" it shows my entire shop description from the main page. If I go from "Props" to "Seasonal", it displays the description that goes with my Props section. I don't understand why? [li]CW Shops Feed: remove the headshot and 3 random items in the shop preview. I think this would load the page faster/better - especially for those of us that follow a lot of shops. I also really love 's suggestion regarding tabs in this section as well - one for shops followed, one to show newest items added to shops (with a link to the CW shop it's in perhaps?): better explained here

- I'm sure lots of you have opinions/ideas that are better formed than my pain-addled brain is allowing me. Weigh in?

I never paid attention to the item management page but I agree about the shop and the categories. Allowing only the things that users want to be seen on the front page and letting us sort things into the respective other categories.

I totally agree with you in all the points. I wouldn't like to Remove the usernames and headshots of Shop Followers though. I think that if we had pages of 20 followers (more or less) the pages would load faster o:

I would love if the item management page were less bulky. I've only been releasing since November and mine is already annoying.

I think there should still be an "all" category for CW shops though--it just shouldn't necessarily be default.

Completely removing items from the shop-yes please.

Awesome suggestions! It is definitely a pain dealing with really full shops, but I love that they have so many items. It's a bummer that retirements are the only solution right now. XD

You worded all of this better than I ever could have! I LOVE these ideas, esp the decluttering of pages and the ability to remove items from shops/retire them. c:

Can I add this to your list?

I'd really love to see a history of my CW submissions, i.e. to be able to view batches that were submitted (who slotted, how much they paid, etc.). So...I guess a 4th tab on the Main page? It doesn't even need to be retroactive; I'd be happy if it started from 'now' and started recording batch info.

I mean, am I stupid? Is there a way to view this currently that I'm not aware of? Because this would make my life SO MUCH easier!

I can't remember who slotted on private items, for example, or if I had to push a batch through because someone was MIA and now can't remember which user didn't pay....I'd also love to be able to see who my frequent customers are, which friends missed out on an item, who may own a copy of an older item, etc. in a simpler easy than searching through forum pages (and some people edit those anyway).

Please don't post on threads that haven't been posted on in 15 months in Suggestions&Ideas. I know this subforum is really slow so this thread was probably not too far down on the first page, making it look like a recent post :X

Please just remake the thread and add your suggestions to the first post if this is still a topic you'd like to see happen :) Sorry about all of this!
