Richard - THis is because you are viewing one of the nine specific 'galleries' on our site.

If you just go to www.ArtWanted.com, you should see all of the dates possible, and not just those images for a specific image.

Perry Schreiber 21 Jul 2008

What a great place you have created for us Artists. The new look is as great as the art found within. This is exciting.

Armando - Your blog layout is messed up, because some of your content you have posted is over 700 pixels wide. I think it's the 'photobucket' widget that is messing things up for you. If you change the size of that widget, and any others that are larger than 700 pixels, the blog page will look normal.

Armando Salas 21 Jul 2008

Oh, I didn't know it, AW. Thank you very much.

What about an EDIT option for the Blog entries? If not, we have to delete posts.

AW I AM WONDERING WHEN MINE AND OTHERS "MANAGE ARTWATCH" SECTION WILL BE UP AND OPERATING FOR US????????? AS IT IS NOW, IT IS TOTALLY USELESS. THANK YOU LOTS.

It's cool now, i love this site!!

Armando Salas 21 Jul 2008

Just a question, Ashok:

DO YOU LIKE THAT DARK GREY?

Hmmm...!

Armando Salas 21 Jul 2008

Although the dark grey on the floor, you look splendid, Sharon.

LOL!:-)))

Sharon Gonzalez 21 Jul 2008

FOR AW STAFF TOO: THANK YOU ARMANDO, FOR THE SMILE RIGHT NOW. .................................................................................. I AM ABSOLUTELY STEAMING. IS YOUR MANAGE ARTWATCH SECTION FIXED? MINE SURE AS HECK IS NOT. I JUST GOT A MESSAGE FROM AW TELLING ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW. THAT 'MY' ARTWATCH SECTION WORKS FOR 'THEM'. I GUESS I NEED TO CONTACT THEM WHEN I NEED TO MANAGE THAT SECTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK? IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. ANNNNNNNNNND TO TOP IT OFF, THEY ARE ASKING ME FOR PROOF; FOR PHOTOS. I TOLD THEM TO CHECK THE MESSAGE BOARD FOR PHOTOS........3 OF THEM, INFACT. YES, THE STEAM IS COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW. YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT THE GROUND BEING GRAY IN MY PHOTO, CRACKED ME UP AND COOLED SOME OF THE STEAM. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

Hello again AW,

You have still NOT addressed the problem That the COLOUR OF visited images and portfolio addresses SHOULD CHANGE WHEN VISITED. You have made your once excellent site awful to navigate to people such as me who have sight loss.................. PLEASE SORT the VISITED HISTORY OUT.................. PATTY

Armando Salas 21 Jul 2008

Hi, Sharon.

Just checked my MANAGE ARTWATCH.

"VIEW THE NAMES", the buttons "BACK" and "NEXT", "PORTFOLIO" and "REMOVE" are DEAD. As if they were the text around. Surprisingly, all these links worked few days ago.

Donald Schrier 21 Jul 2008

I love what you did as far as appearence and all goes with this site but you have made some changes that appear to be detrimental for some of us. I have noticed a rapid drop in the comments on my paintings and views of it since the date of insecption. I was on a record setting pace as far as views and comments on my work until the day you instituted this program. Immediatly the views and comments dropped over 75 % and it has been consistant since you have made the change. I do not know what you did but whatever caused the people to see and vie less of my work is detrimental to me and from what I hear I am not the only artist to suffer this. Please check into this and advise what happened. Thank you.

Sharon Gonzalez 21 Jul 2008

AW PLEASE JUST FIX MY MANAGE ARTWATCH SECTION SO THAT "I" CAN OPERATE IT. I AM THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT........NOT YOU. AND IT'S NOT JUST MINE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE. .............................................................................................. ALSO EITHER THE 4 ROWS OF PAINTINGS SHOW ON THE SCREEN WHEN YOU CLICK NEXT, ETC. OR ELSE PLEASE GET RID OF THE 4TH (RIGHT SIDE) ROW. THAT 4TH ROW IS OFF THE SCREEN, AND THE PAINTINGS IN THAT ROW ARE CONSTANTLY MISSED IN THE DATE SECTION, OUR PORTFOLIO, AND THE ARTIST GROUPS SECTION, AND ANYWHERE ELSE THE 4TH ROW IS OFF THE COMPUTER SCREEN. IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD DESIGN ..... AT ALL!!! ............................................................................................. PERHAPS THE BEST AND EASIEST THING WOULD BE TO JUST GO BACK TO THE OLD AW DESIGN. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! COLORS GREAT, EVERYTHING COULD BE SEEN ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN. WE DIDN'T HAVE A MANAGE ARTWATCH SECTION AT LEAST TO THE EXTENT OF WHAT IT IS NOW, BUT WHO CARES. THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK. SO WE MAY AS WELL NOT HAVE IT. ........................................................................................... SORRY TO BE SO NEGATIVE, BUT WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON A TOTALLY GREAT SITE, AND YOU PAY TO SPEND YOUR TIME ON THAT TOTALLY GREAT SITE, YOU EXPECT IT TO STAY TOTALLY GREAT. YOU DON'T EXPECT TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING TO YOUR FACE ON THE SCREEN AND ALLLLLLLLL WHITE ALL AROUND AND ALL THE PAINTINGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COMPUTER. NOW HAPPILY THOSE THINGS YOU DID FIX. SO NOW WE HAVE DARK GRAY WHICH MANY CAN'T LIVE WITH, A MANAGE ARTWATCH SECTION THAT IS TOTALLY USELESS (IT'S JUST A TEASE), AND A WHOLE ROW OF OUR ART WORK THAT CAN'T BE SEEN AND MOST WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IS THERE. PLEASE! PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!! PLEASE FIX!!!

Sharon Gonzalez 21 Jul 2008

AW WHAT DON SAYS IS TOTALLY CORRECT. HIS IS NOT THE ONLY ART WORK WITH A BIG DECREASE IN COMMENTS AND HITS. I ALSO WAS ON A HIGH OF COMMENTS AND HITS JUST BEFORE 7/15. AND THEN CRASH, JUST AS I PREDICTED TO YOU IN A MESSAGE, IT ALL CAME TUMBLIING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. AND I NOTICE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO USED TO COMMENT ON EVERY PAINTING EVERY DAY NO LONGER ARE DOING THAT. SOME I NO LONGER SEE COMMENTING ON ANYTHING, AND SOME ONLY ON THEIR ARTWATCH FRIENDS. I KNOW, BECAUSE I AM STILL COMMENTING ON MOST ALL THE WORK EVERY DAY. IT'S JUST AS I SAID. YOU TAKE AWAY THE TOP TEN AND HOW IT FUNCTIONED, YOU WILL TAKE AWAY THE COMMENTS AND THE LIVELINESS OF AW, AND NEW FRIENDS BEING MADE. PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY ON OTHER SITES NOW MAKING FRIENDS OR, OBVIOUSLY, DOING SOMETHING ELSE NOT ON AW. AS ARMANDO SAID EARLIER, THE ARTISTS ARE YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER ON THE SITE. YOU NEED TO KEEP THEM HAPPY AND BUSY ON THE AW SITE OR ELSE YOU MAY VERY WELL LOSE THEM....TOTALLY. A VAST REDUCTION IN COMMENTS AND HITS DOES NOT MAKE AN ARTIST HAPPY, AND MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THIS; NOT JUST DON AND I.

Sharon Gonzalez 21 Jul 2008

AW PS I AMEND SOMETHING I SAID ABOVE.........EVERYONE IS EXPERIENCING A DROP IN COMMENTS. NOT "MANY" AS I ERRONEOUSLY SAID. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

ArtWanted.com Staff 21 Jul 2008

We encourage everyone to read our new post we just made about the number of hits and comments to your portfolios. This will answer many of the questions that have been posted above. This post can be found at:

http://www.artwanted.com/mb/topic.cfm?Topic=464975

As for the Manage Art Watch page links, we expect to have this fixed by morning.

Sharon Gonzalez 22 Jul 2008

AW FIRST THERE ARE MORE PAINTINGS EACH DAY NOW, BECAUSE UNPAYING MEMBERS CAN NOW UPLOAD MORE. I DO NOT SEE A SHIFT TO MORE COMMENTS ON OTHER PEOPLE. WHAT I AM FINDING AS I COMMENT IS THAT EVERYONE'S COMMENTS ARE DOWN. YES, I AM SEEING LESS WORK POSTED EACH FROM THE ONES WHO NORMALLY POST EACH DAY. I COMMENT IN THE DATE SECTION ONLY EACH DAY, AND REALLY THE TOTAL NUMBER I'VE NOT FOUND VERY DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE. YOU CAN CHECK THIS BY CLICKING ON THE DATES PRECEDING 7/15 AND THE DATES AFTER 7/15. NOW THE ONES THAT DON'T MAKE THE DATE SECTION I CANNOT SAY. ........................................................................................... I AM SURPRISED BY THE IMAGE HITS, BECAUSE BEFORE I NOTICED, IF I OPENED ONE OF MY PAINTINGS, IT COUNTED AS '1' HIT. I CHECKED ONE DAY ABOUT 1 OR 2 MONTHS AGO TO SEE IF EVERY TIME I CLICKED ON ONE OF MY OWN PAINTINGS IT WAS BEING COUNTED, AND SURPRISING, I FOUND IT WAS, BUT I ONLY SAW MY STATS JUMP BY ONE EACH TIME. ............................................................................................ JUST MY OBSERVATIONS, AW STAFF. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING TO CORRECT THINGS, AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT AND APPRECIATE TOO.

Sharon Gonzalez 22 Jul 2008

HALLELUJAH! THE ARTWATCH SECTION IS FIXED. THANK YOU LOTS! :-) THE HAND NOW APPEARS WHERE IT SHOULD, AND I CAN SEE MY LIST. HALLELUJAH! THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON MY LIST IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE NUMBER THAT APPEARS BEFORE I CLICK ON THE LIST?????????????????? WHY?????????

ArtWanted.com Staff 22 Jul 2008

Glad to hear that this is working for you.

The numbers in your ArtWatch page may be different, if the same person has added you multiple times. When you click to view the names, you see every time someone has added you to their ArtWatch, including duplicates. This is why the page with the 'names' may be a higher numer than the summary page (which only counts each person once).
