UPDATED: Amazon Update & Bug Reports

Screen shot 2012-11-12 at 8.35.41 AM

Good morning!

We just wanted to let everyone know that we’re working through the list of bug and feedback reports that were sent in about yesterday’s Amazon Workshop Editor update. We’re excited that so many people are enjoying the new editor.

Please do keep sending in those bug reports with specific information and screen shots. There is a link to our bug reporting system on the bottom of every Squidoo page. This is the most effective way to get a problem fixed or feedback read as we can see how many people are having problems with a specific bug. We can’t fix bugs that  are e-mailed to the SquidTeam or left as a comment.

Thanks (as always) for your patience and positive comments.

UPDATE – Feb. 26th at 12:30 EST: The new Amazon Module Editor should now be working on IE8.

Bonnie Diczhazy (bdkz) is Editor of the SquidooHQ Blog and Head of Community here at Squidoo.com.

    I don’t know if this is a bug, but I don’t seem to be getting any points for taking part in polls. It’s been that way for several days.

    Can we add amazon.co.uk products?

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Titia Titia

      As far as I know: NO, but if you are an affiliate for the .co.uk, you can use the squidtool boxes for those, I’ve been using those a lot for Amazon.co.uk

    The field for entering text on Amazon Spotlight modules is very small.

      This will be a huge problem for me personally, I write many long reviews on the spotlight module in particular. It will now be a long and tedious process, editing any existing reviews, and it will certainly keep me from adding more than a sentence or 2 to new modules.

        Can’t you just write it in notebook and then copy/paste? You can also copy/paste old ones in notebook, change them and copy/paste them back.

      Agreed!!! I just discovered this issue when trying to edit an existing description. :-(

    I love the new module and have had zero problems. Nice to see I probably won’t in the future.

    i love the new module, but i prefer if you guys keep the option to input the ASIN number manually. the rest are perfect!

    Ok, I first had to upgrade my FF before the whole thing worked for me. I’ll send in a feedback, but there’s no way to delete/change the once choosen products as far as I can see. I would like a button to delete it and choose another one in stead.

      Well I can answer my own stupidity. Didn’t see the garbage bucket when you hoover over the choosen products.

    Yesterday the only bug I had was when I was creating a lens. It would not show up any boxes to fill out unless I shuffled the order. Then they would pop up, but disappear again right away as well.

    I can’t figure out how to use the Amazon spotlight module now, There isn’t any place to paste in the ASIN number. It won’t let me paste anything into the box that says Your Selection. When I try to search for the product using the description from Amazon it says it can’t find it.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/kitty222 kitty222

    The only improvement I can think of is to include a way to paste in the ASIN number. That way I can be sure I’m getting exactly the product I want to add.

    The only bugs I have is that I can’t update 2 of my lenses and I can’t publish a new one

    Thanks for responding to the bug reports. I have found that bug reports are attended to – not always as quickly as I would like, but they are attended to. I agree with Chadrew that the “field for entering text on Amazon Spotlight modules is very small. ” It is hard for me to compose in that area.
