Hello!

So I just wanted to point something out that I've noticed in the marketplace. I went searching for the Estella stuff in the marketplace and found that I couldn't find them using their name, so I did a little digging and found that a lot of items are hidden from marketplace searches because they're missing tags. I finally found the item I was looking for by putting a similar item in a different color for sale in my shop and looking at the tags for that item and found that they were tagged with the letter "S." Seeing this, I went through the alphabet and realized that there are also items tagged with the letter "Q" and nothing else.

So I just wanted to point out that there are a bunch of items that only have "Q" or "S" as a tag that probably got overlooked during the tagging process. Hopefully they can get retagged so users can find them in the marketplace soon if they're searching for them! : )

They've not been overlooked, the tags are just a monstrous pain in the arse, it's really as simple as that.

Filling the event store prior to an event is something we never used to be able to do, if you remember it was always open, just empty. Managed to nag Inso enough to add the store to the event code so we could fill it before hand, what bliss!

Then he devised the tagging system, which is very helpful, but also a monstrous pain for us! Because you can't tag things in advance, because people can find them then...and people have a bad habit of blabbing about things like that. So we tried tagging with non-words in the hope this would throw people off the scent. The problem there is those non-word tags don't go away : / Even when you've gone through once you have time and tagged things properly, the previous temporary tags still show up in the search options. It's very frustrating -.-

So now we're back to not tagging until the last minute, or after the event has actually started. I really dislike tagging after the event has started, because it's not fair for you guys to not be able to try things on when the store opens. Also, things are still not getting complete tags. The method I currently use is a copy/paste of a tag that will be pertinent to every item, so the event and year, basically. But as each item has to be tagged individually, and that requires opening that item's page in the layers, tag it, save it, onto the next one, it's still a lengthy process...

The tags are a double edged sword if ever there was one. -.-

Gotcha. I understand that it's a struggle to tag items, I just wanted to make sure that these ones weren't forgotten or anything and only brought it up because I was having trouble finding certain items and thought that it might be a problem others have run into. I'm definitely not in a huge hurry to have them tagged or anything.

Also, while we're on the subject of layers, I do have a quick question about the Plaid Skirts and why they aren't on the same layer as the Basic Skirts? They're barely longer than the Basic Skirts, and yet they're on a long skirt layer that some long skirts aren't even on. Was that intentional?

Um, that will just have been me looking at it and hitting skirt. I can change them to the short skirt layer.
