G-P Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 <p>Hello Everyone - we're back to 1.0 as you can tell. Updates will come soon with our progress - and we will make a beta site available as soon as the DNS redirects are settled. Will update soon with the beta URL so we can continue the beta conversation. Thank you all for your support. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Boyd Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p><strong>Glenn</strong>...I know this is a tough decision but I think a wise one. I love this site and will be happy to participate in any Beta testing. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_cooprider1 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Thanks for reverting until the kinks are worked out. PN 1.0 is much faster where I am now. I would suggest a "how to" tab on the fixed 2.0 detailing how to find familiar threads.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Murphy Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Maybe a User's Guide or some similar documentation for PN 2.0. When I worked in software development, documentation was contractually required for software products. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-P Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>thank you all for your support. We discussed user guide and the designer said (and i'm paraphrasing...but "if it needs a user guide its not designed properly".....i believe there is some truth to that. That said, I will create one using screen-o-matic - which creates a video of my screen as I tour the site. For now, we're focused on resolving the issues in beta environment for now and will make public again very soon and will notify everyone of the URL - we have some DNS changes that need to take effect, redirects, etc. Thank you again for your support. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gup Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Good choice, Glenn. I hope the disappointment isn't overwhelming.<br> In my case I was unable to 'log in' to the beta version to help with input as I don't remember my 13 year old password and P.net doesn't provide a solution via email for me to change it. (I must know the old one to create a new one).<br> Good Luck going forward.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidRabinowitz Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Thanks for working so hard on this Glenn...i’m glad to see the digital alterations category again and I can now rate photographs and have my own rated as well...for me, these abilities are very important to my work...regards....David</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidRabinowitz Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Gup, I was able to change my password this morning. If you don’t know your password, you may have to logout and then click the icon that says something like “lost password”. When I did that, I easily was able to change it. But know that the password instructions will go to the email that is associated with your account and if it’s an email your no longer use, you will need another way of accomplishing this.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStrickland Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks. I liked where you are heading with the new style and liked the looks. The loss of functions and a few glitches had me concerned. It's hard to do, but I think this temporary back step is the right idea. Keep up the good work and I look forward to end result!

randy_cooprider1 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Saying "If it needs instructions, its not programmed correctly" may be a good theory but it is a bad practice. PN 1.0 had a search function that I used many times. The help button on Adobe software is vital when doing a new process. All of my digital cameras have manuals. At a minimum restore a functioning search box. I tried to use what was on PN2.0 but it did not respond with the right info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former P.N Member Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <blockquote> <p>"if it needs a user guide its not designed properly"</p> </blockquote> <p>As Randy said, it may be good theory but that's about as far as it goes.</p> <p>I was in I.T. well over 30 years with at least 20 of those designing and implementing human interface platforms. Never once have I seen a case where that philosophy actually worked in practice. Even the most basic of cell phone apps (at least the good ones) have, at a minimum, a rudimentary 'help' function.</p> <p>A "User Guide", be it printed, electronic or 'help', needs to include at least 3 things:</p> <p>1 - What the system or product can do<br /> 2 - Where to do it<br /> 3 - How to do it</p> <p>For a very recent example of what can happen without this I refer you to 'photo.net 2.0'.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry_m Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>A little bit of good news----I can now log on again on my pc, but Safari will not me log on with my i-phone---it says "too many redirects", but I will keep trying. Hopefully this will soon be fixed--Jerry</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amachado Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I tened to agree with "If it needs instructions....." This is a website, not PS or a camara, if instructions are needed, many potential users will skip it. I was beginning to understand the functionality of 2 and liked some of the features, my major gripe is that many features did not function. Hopefully it will be fixed and looking forward to giving beta a test run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichroe Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The new beta should be alfa + beta,,not beta less alfa,,,,we the consumers may have the working tools,,,,hope the final result faster and better,,but,,,nice view thanks for showing us...

Hector Javkin Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Thank you. I came to the site just now with trepidation, thinking about all the problems I would run into, but found the old photo.net. I hope the kinks in the new version can be worked out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>I really think you made the right move. I was beta testing before, but didn't really work through it. Now that I know a little more, I'll be happy to test if you want me to. Cheers</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 <p>Thank you for all your efforts, Glenn and the photo.net team. I saw that a lot of anger and frustration was directed at you and the others who worked on V2, which must have been hard to take, given the effort you and the team undoubtedly put into it. While there were some nice stylistic touches in V2, unfortunately there were a few functional problems, which, while frustrating, are not unexpected when a major overhaul is done. No doubt you and the team are working to rectify the issues. I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor, and to continue to participate in this wonderful site and community.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
