Features, features, features
As we prepare for to launch in support of our next big partnership, we’ll be unveiling several new features. One of which is a new member email system in the member admin. Our current member-to-member email system was really just an interim system and it’s not even close to perfect. Some of you may have noticed that when you sent an email to another member (telling them that you liked their work for example) they received an email FROM IMAGEKIND and could only reply if they cut and paste your email address from the message. So half the time people just hit the reply button and bounced the message back to Imagekind.
The new member admin will have a messaging system almost exactly like Flickr where you have an inbox. Everytime you login you see if someone sent you a message and you reply from there. You can optionally get notified to your own email everytime someone sends you a messsage.
Lots of other little things too. For example you get to choose what image represents your gallery.
You get a SINGLE unified page that shows statistics for your galleries so you don’t have to click on each image.
We added back a BIG message to shoppers the message option that it was ok for us to forward their contact information to the artist who created the work they bought.
We added PayPal as a commission payment option for our foreign friends!
And so much more.
Two weeks til launch!

Let me be the first to express my anticipation and appreciation for these improvements, Kelly.
Especially the unified statistics report! Can’t wait for that one. And choosing a representative image – that’s great. And Paypal.
Yay!
Wishing you a smooth launch.
These improvements sound like REAL improvements…I know that sounds ridiculous, but so many sites make so-called improvements which turn out to be gimmicks…these are the opposite – they have substance and will make a real difference to us. Thank you for being so responsive to the voice of your contributing artists and photographers.
Looking forward with great excitement to the new partnership…in the meantime, good luck with the launch – we can’t wait to see the new features!
Wow!
How cool are all these changes… I’m looking forward to everything presented
Thanks IK
Those sound really good! I can’t wait. I love this site. I only have two problems with it. I think when people view our images … our pictures blow up a little to big .. it makes it easier for people to steal our art and sell it somewhere else. I’d like it if our pictures showed up a little smaller. Also where it sais “Why is there a 5% mark up fee?” It never tells you why, it just tells you what a 5% fee is.
Can’t wait to see the new admin! It all sounds great!
Thanks IK
Loving the Pay Pal feature, but I don’t think I entered the information correctly.
I’m a bit confused as to what is the paypal address….?
