Default Settings

This sentence is not making any sense to me.....

"Please note....all these affect NEW uploads only, on uploads already done" ;O)

Did you mean NOT uploads already done?

"..............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr auto correct

As an officer of the grammar police.. you're welcome ;O)

I wish there was a way to change default settings for other things besides prices. Is there?

like what?


---Mike Savad

Like the media setting.
It's 6:30 AM in NM - what time is it at your time zone?

another related matter;
Why doesn't the media setting on my profile page reflect the change I make in the "edit" page?

Ursula

have you checked the Default Settings?

One of them is Default Medium Description

Yes, several times. I changed it to "Mixed Media" in Default Artwork Category and Default Media Description. But the change is not reflected on the profile page. It still says Medium: "Digital Art". See http://fineartamerica.com/featured/summer-yearling-ursula-freer.html

default will only affect future things. if you want them to reflect it in the past you need to do a bulk edit, i think you can do that there as well. though i never did it like that so i'm not sure.

---Mike Savad

It's not in the past but for an image I just put up. Why would it not allow that? I tried the bulk edit as well, nothing changed.

in reality default means right now. but on this site it means future. it only affects new uploads and not the ones in the past. i wouldn't worry too much about the medium though. you could always change it by hand.

---Mike Savad

I tried it "by hand" it accepts it in "settings" but the change does not appear on the page visible to the visitors.!

So that means I can NEVER change a media setting unless I unload the entry and start all over again, that's awkward!

Ursula

Default Settings are for FUTURE uploads only

Just edit the past image to change media. All future uploads will have the new default settings

Abbie, I assume you mean the "last page".
I did and it won't even change the media of that one page, nor any of the ones that follow.

Name an image and the media you wish

I picked the last one (as you suggested). I want to change it from DIGITAL ART to MIXED MEDIA. Here's the link:

Since this is the latest on Default Setting I am posting this here. This has been an ongoing problem as of late, since the latest "update". I can upload a couple of pics and at random the next upload no longer has any of my default settings. This is bothersome as I then have to relog into the system and upload the picture again spending another couple of minutes waiting on the upload. This wastes valuable time for me uploading as I have so little of it.

Another thing I noticed is the Artist Website is not in sync with the FAA profile, I uploaded 5 images yesterday afternoon, images 1,2 and 5 show on my AW and 3,4 are still not visible currently. I prefer to send links to my AW but how can I do this if all images are not showing in a timely manner. I have two tabs open to copy and past keywords not sure if this is why the default settings disappear but it never used to do this and why should I have to retype all the keywords in if I can't keep two sessions open? I doubt I am the only one having this problem. As far as the login after twenty minutes, this also is a waste of time if I want to remain on 24/7 what does it matter.

On the top Artwork page on the premium site, you see search pages. That takes up to 24 hours to catch up. The search did not update yesterday, or this morning, so there is a request to have this done, in now.

The artwork tab under your profile on the premium site is the up to date link showing all images

can the time be changed? so it can be set to local time?

Thanks Abbie, I'll be checking it often. I sure hope it works!

HI Abbie,

I checked again, the changes did not take effect. I really need to change all of the 275 pictures.

Please help.

You want all your work changed from digital art to mixed media?

Yes I would like to do that.

Abbie, nothing is changed yet, please help.

I'm afraid Sean is inundated with the new sites at present. It is in his list

Thanks for trying, I hope he does not forget :)

I am sure he wont
