Updates from Binky


Hi babe, this is the response I got from Grace Hitchcock of Popsugar:

"Our apologies, but community features are temporarily unavailable while we work to make them more fabulous than ever. In the meantime, keep your eye out for all of the glamorous new ways you can use POPSUGAR Shopping to get your fashion fix. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if there is anything else we can help you with."

Looks like it'll be awhile before everything is restored so I hope the new site is super fabulous. Smiling Miss you and hope we'll get our beloved SS back sooner rather than later. xo binky · Now

Hey babe! I did a test look today and discovered that I can actually post looks but not add images to them. I've already emailed the look to Grace Hitchcock so they'll have a better understanding on the situation. If you want you can try to do the same and update the team on it because I think people are having different problems so it'll take a while to get everything fixed. The Shopstyle team has also contacted me via Twitter and asked me to send a detailed email so I hope everything will be resolved soon. In the meantime I suggest we put challenges & activities on hold until the site is working properly again. I'll check back everyday and do test runs and will update you, hopefully this will be fixed sooner rather than later. xo binky · 9 hours ago

I started a temporary group on Polyvore called Shopstyle Alumni. www.polyvore.com Hope you all can come and keep in touch while we wait for PopSugar to get up and running again.

I am also really confused, I have emailed shopstyle yesterday, still waiting for a response. I do not understand will they be removing the stylebook feature?

This is an email I sent to Popsugar.******I wanted to provide some feedback regarding Shopstyle. There was a very robust social media outlet thru the old Shopstyle which has now ground to a halt. As a member of that Shopstyle community, I feel you've alienated a large segment of your audience by launching this new format and not communicating about it before pulling the plug. As an organization, if you decided to eliminate Shopstyle because your vision for the site has changed, which is your prerogative, it seems to me that it would be in your best interest to at least communicate that to SS users. However, if your intent was to change the format/functionality, then it seems that you would at least bring the SS community along by setting up a staging site and getting their input to work out potential problems before going live. I have enjoyed being part of Shopstyle and the people from all over the world that I've met thru the site, which is probably why it makes the sudden demise of SS so difficult and disappointing.

I'm with you Fassionista. I feel as if I'm totally floundering trying to figure this out and wondering if it's even worth it.

Help! Is this site not finished yet or just not very intuitive? My style book makes no sense, I can't find my images, can't access my favorites or create new looks. I can only use my iPad to leave comments like this one. I don't know if anyone will even see it. I'm lonely out here!!!!
