Oopsie! Are you missing some emails?

Well you might want to check your Spam folder.

As an Etsy customer discovered yesterday, Esty has changed their mail setup "a little". The net result of this is that various Etsy users are reporting that Etsy Convo notifications are showing up in their bulk mail folders.

Great job Etsy!!!! This is an excellent way for Etsy shops to lose potential business!

In spite of a few logical suggestions posted in the above thread, there are no reports of Etsy Admin bothering to notify their customers of this signifigant change.

New wording for Oopsie Page

So now the brickwall's gone, maybe the wording on the new "Oopsie Page" * could be made a little bolder? More colorful? More descriptive?

HEY YOU! YES, YOU!
Don't waste your time looking for this username here.

1. This user quit Etsy in disgust.
2. This user quit Etsy in protest.
3. This user was a sockpuppet.
4. This user was hounded unfairly by other Etsians and is no longer with us.
5. This user was forced to make a buyer account to purchase something here, and closed it immediately afterwards.
6. This user has finally figured out that for the money she pays Etsy, she could have and promote her own website, not someone else's.
   
7. This user was a spammer.
8. This user was a bastard reseller and got shitcanned really quickly for it.
9. This user was a bastard reseller and got shitcanned only after a huge internet protest embarrassed Etsy into removing her.
10. This user mouthed off to Anda/DanielleXO/Rokali once too often and got shitcanned for it.
11. This user has retired to an ashram in South Dakota with no internet access. The very mention of shrinky dink, cupcakes or plushies makes her tic act up.

Quotable Quotes: Data Base

Don't mess with the sacred Database:

PP: "The idea that changing these things confuses the database does not make sense. It seems like it was given to us as a reason because it sounded tech-ie enough to satisfy most of us."

R: "I'm sorry...but does anyone who doesn't believe the data base is messed up by this...have any experience with this type of work? just curious"

PP: "I don't, R.
But I don't know how to build an airplane, either, and I know I can stand up and change seats while it's in the air and nothing awful will happen."

Quotable Quotes: Forgetful

Whoopsie:

"Consistency cannot be stressed enough. I can't imagine how an admin could ever possibly 'forget' to put on an avatar - or an admin badge. It shouldn't even be possible to post without it."

It's not me, it's you.

Have you ever wondered what goes through RevolvingDork's head when we complain about a technical error on Etsy? I figure it goes a little something like this:

• Next time make sure to clear your cache.
• If that doesn't work, reboot your computer.
• If that doesn't work, make sure you have all updates for your computer.
• If that doesn't work, download Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Unix, delete Vista and go back to XP.
• If that doesn't work, shut down your computer, unplug everything, replug everything, turn your computer back on.
• If that doesn't work, shut down your computer, leave your house, drive to your local computer retailer, spend at least $500 on a new computer, drive home, plug in, start up.
• If that doesn't work, you might as well just hang yourself because it sure as hell isn't a problem on OUR end.
