Members,
It's been a little over 48 hours after going live with the Showcase, and I'm very happy with what we've seen so far. I didn't anticipate seeing so many new showcases built in a short amount of time. Blows me away.
We want everyone to know that we have decided to moderate all showcases prior to releasing them to the public.
We want there to be a very minimal delay from time of completion to taking it live....we know our male members will be anxiously awaiting new showcases and our Verified Providers will want their Showcase out there in the view of potential clients.
We're taking this step to ensure that the ladies get the absolute best benefit they possibly can from this exciting enhancement here at ECCIE. Consider it quality control. We want to make sure that the showcases are thoroughly filled in their entirety, with accurate info.
One example of why this is so important is the powerful Advanced Search capability of this feature. As the library grows, it will be a tremendous asset to our male members to search the showcase library using whatever criteria they find important. Hair color. Breast Size. Age. Imagine how poor the search results could be if many of the girls did not fill out one or more of these fields. It just wouldn't work, and the solution is for ECCIE staff to assist our ladies during the process of building their showcase, and catch any potential problems with data entry before the showcase is visible to the general public.
It's also important to note that our Showcase is designed to display large high resolution images that are beautifully arranged. We strongly discourage the ladies building their showcase from using tiny, avatar-sized pics or thumbnails. Load it up with your large full-sized images. The software will adapt the uploaded images into the arrangement we are looking for. No need for you to resize....we can handle even the largest of images. It's easy for the software to downsize the image to showcase specs, but we can't make a small image bigger.
FYI: You may notice a small handful of current showcases disappear from the library temporarily over the next couple of days. Rest assured they will be back once we can make contact with the Showcase owner and assist her with building her showcase to completion, help her with pics, or address any possible issues.
Thanks to everyone for the excellent support we have received on this. It means alot.
