Beauty Insider Community Feedback

Hello beautiful Beauty Insider Community members! 

 

We’re starting this thread for you guys to report any issues and weird things that you are seeing or ask any questions. We have a number of issues logged that we are already working on a fix for, so this is a work in process.

 

Some things to note as you are reporting issues:

  • If you are looking for a thread and can’t find it, please post here. We’ll need to manually move some threads that got lost in the migration to their correct groups.
  • If you are reporting a bug please be specific about the issue you're seeing, how you got there (“I clicked here and it did *this*”), the device you're using and which browser you're in. 

 

Some tips:

  • If you are looking for a thread that you commented on in the old community, go to the front page of conversations and click the “My Posts” tab. This is where you will find all of your conversations activity, including your heart count.

 

It’s good to see you all and thanks for being patient!

 

Whenever reporting a bug we need as much info as possible or our tech team cannot reproduce the issue and verify it's actually occurring. If they can't see the issue they cannot fix it. You cannot overshare details, test on too many devices or share too many screenshots... The more detail the better!

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@misscg couldn't agree more! I dislike having to click multiple things to get to a particular page..I liked the old main page layout where I could see all that was going on (posts, pics and even the occasional drama lol) and also my profile with hearts/messages. The only new thing I like is the post notifications but only when I am tagged or I get a heart, not for all convos in the threads I am subbed to. 

 

I keep trying and coming back to be active but I am easily bored/frustrated since I feel I am talking to myself unless I tag someone and by now feel I am only posting complains.. I feel bad because I know how excited and how hard the mods worked on this 😔 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

I agree @Anewxa, the mods seemed really excited about this and I honestly was too....but it's just too much to try to figure out all at once. 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

This is more of a suggestion, but I feel like it would be a better experience if there were more posts per page, or if posts were added to the page through appending new results to the bottom.  (I haven't found a setting to alter this)

 

I think it can feel a bit cumbersome to navigate through the next page button multiple times to find an interesting thread, I think the layout would be more approachable if getting new content was easier/faster

 

(just my opinion)

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

I'm sure this has been posted already but it argues my point- I'm having such a difficult time following the thread of a post. By that I mean that it's hard for me to understand which is the main post and what are the replies and the order in which the replies are submitted. I understand that this is supposed to be more of a reddit format but reddit is not this complicated. If you're sorting oldest to newest you should see the newest post, not the newest reply. Is it just me that's not getting it? 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

On my posts it labels me as an "Insider" although I am a Rouge member. Can someone explain this to me? 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

It seems to be another bug, because I see it switch for people as well. 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

Not sure what you are seeing, but here's a screenshot from my end; it shows you as Rouge ☺️ @m26430Screenshot_20170717-115038.png

 

 EDIT: ok, wow, just noticed on the main Conversation feed that everyone seems to show up as "insider". Looks like another glitch 🙄Screenshot_20170717-115752.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

Thank you @RGbrown. I appreciate you taking the time to screenshot. At least we know it is indeed glitchy. 

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@angel7594

Haha, yeah, I just noticed that and updated my post while you were responding. 

What a mess. 🙄

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@RGbrown On the main feed it shows everyone being an insider until you click into the thread.....I wonder why. 🤔

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

Anyone knows how can we see our followers? I can see some ppl are following me but have no idea who 🤔

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

If anyone figures this out, let me know!  I'm being stalked by a few people as well.  (I'm not sure why they would want too.)

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@fatimamummy  I was also wondering this also. At first I thought it was just a glitch on the app, but I logged in on my computer and still couldn't figure out how to see my followers.

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

😞

 

Good luck!  Sorry you are having trouble with your reviews. @Beadshopgirl

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

I found a workaround @Tamara76. I can write a review on my iPad if I use the Puffin app. 🙂

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

I am wondering the same thing...

 

(I think I am following you, btw...) 🙂

@fatimamummy


I just followed you both @Tamara76 @fatimamummy, do we no the purpose of following? Do we notifications of posts or something?

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@Tamara76 Thank you! Now I know at least 1 person to follow back 😀 I don't get why they put this feature in new forum though especially dhen we can't even see who the ppl are?

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

I haven't found a way to delete any of my private messages in the new system. I also cannot reply directly to a private message like in the old BT. Also, I noticed when I got a pm yesterday that the whole entire message was displayed in my email. I don't feel very comfortable sending messages to others now because of that. This did not happen in the old format.

Is there a way to disable notifications for kudos received? I wish we could clear out the notification alerts, an option to delete these would be really helpful.

Like a few others have mentioned, I don't get the point in following/followed when we don't know who is following us. I don't understand the necessity of showing the top contributors/kudoed people, either. Many features seem more like a popularity contest to me than participating in a true community. Ultimately, I just feel really lost here and I am having a hard time following conversations with how the comment threading is showing.

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@angel7594 @darkiceis - I'm glad to find your comments!  I went to delete some old PMs and discovered there is no way to delete!  What?!

 

I also tried to PM the mods and their accounts have been removed!  Guess they're full!

 

I too would like to know what "following" and "follow" is and why I'm not allowed to see who is "following" me.  I feel like I'm being stalked--I don't like that feeling.

 

I would also like to be able to easily--"easily" who am I kidding--I would like to be able to see how many--gag--kudos I have.  I hate that term!  It's such a businessy/slangy term.

 

I absolutely do not want to see the "rankings" of users for kudos and posts or anything else.  I am not in high school, but I do have self-esteem issues, yes at my age, and I always will.  This does not help.

Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback

@angel7594  You took the words right out of my mouth.

 

I don't understand the purpose of "following" or having "followers."  Along with the ranking of top contributors.

 

Kudos - I don't like this term at all, it has no connection to Sephora's beauty community. I don't even know anyone that uses this term.

 

The additions above make it feel like a high school popularity contest.

 

Keep it simple like BT was, showing our heart count was enough and we liked to celebrate heart milestones.

 

Updating the community is fine but don't fix what is not broken.  Less is more, a few minor changes would have been sufficient vs a whole revamp.
