Hi! So first of all - thank you to all the mods for your hard work!!! Especially lately with all the spam messages!
I have a question though (sorry if it was already answered somewhere!). I noticed that Recycled is no longer available to view. I kinda miss it, because I often usted it in informative way. For example if I see a pattern in New Patterns that Im interested in, I dont assume that it was already posted earlier and so I dont check in the search if it already exist, but when I open it in a new tab for me to download later, and it gets moved to Recycled, I cant see what pattern it was. Often I dont remember what it was and even if I remember what it was, I dont necessarilly remember by who it was and with some patterns (for example unicorns) theres too many to fish out of all the results. When I was still able to see Recycled, I saw the mods comment that its already posted and could quickly find the actual pattern.
Another example - add-ons posted in magazines. Sometimes people post add-ons only and they get moved to Recycled because the magazine its in is already posted, including the add-on. But without admins comment on why the add-on was recycled, I dont know where to look for the add-on so I wont be able to find it in the magazine. Sometimes I find add-ons only on the internet but I check PinDIY to see if there is a copy in better quality available, and Im not always aware that what Im looking for is an add-on and not a standalone pattern.
Im not attacking anyone by the way (Im not a native English speaker so Im not sure if I sound neutral or more like Im accusing admins, but Im trying to go for neutral tone), just curious because being able to view Recycled posts was pretty helpful to me at times |
