Instead of buying and waiting for updates, you should bookmark it until you are ready to use it.

That’s ofcourse also possible, but a lot of developers here are guys (and girls) who create these scripts in their own time. So I believe it’s also a kind of motivation to buy a script in the early stages….

Hi,

I like to browse and when I find a script which has the potential but isn’t good enough at that time I sometimes still buy it. So I have it and can use it when it has grown.

Unfortunately, lately a lot of scripts get removed while a lot of the scripts are good. Is there a reason why scripts get removed by envato or the author, and don’t you think buyers should get a reason why the script has been removed?

Hi,

I am new to email marketing but since I am starting my own business am interested in it. I noticed a lot of big companies use mailchimp so I created a account there, But I also noticed some scripts here on codecanyon.

Does someone have experience with email marketing, and what is important, What would you do, mailchip or a script hosted on your own servers?

Including the following pages: - Gallery page http://www-bgr-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blackberry-playbook.jpg - Messages http://www.blackberryinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/playbook_email-640×480.jpg - Video Player http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/699/4g-playbook.jpg - Settings: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcROfziiTq5tEH3lIQ9Rc34fkrKDCWZBILQXbtfKtbtnKzv0e_rWWW2umHCZ - Playlist http://www.techshout.com/img/blackberry-playbook.jpg

Normal requirements: pixel perfect, layered etc. (you know the drill), You can reply to the thread or send me a message (prefer replies here only).

Or just integrate a ticket system for the buyers <-> authors, When buyers have problems they can report the ticket and envato staff can review it and see the entire conversation (ticket history) and judge based on that.

And it can be up to the author to charge a (preferable small) amount for premium (answered within 24/48/72 hours) support option, payable with envato credits (balance)

Everyone of us (authors) is going FAR beyond the required pre-sale and post-sale support just to earn reputation and happy purchasers – respectively more sales. I don’t believe lack of support and low quality themes is what could be found here on TF.

Not every author though, But wvg purchased between 1-9 items here, lets say he purchased 9 wp themes, Themeforest currently holds 1008 wordpress themes. So wvg seen 0.89% of the wordpress themes here, you didn’t really have much theory and themes to base your statement on..

But my final thoughts: Do you really think that themeforest could grow so rapidly when they offer themes?

Thanks for your responds, But what is the best way to make a imagesprite,

Like #prev{background:url(‘img_navsprites.gif’) -47px 0;}, but to me this seems like 1 http request per object, or create a div for every category and use the background position tag?

Most of the times when the file is not working is the customers fault because the theme is working on the demo website….. Most of the times, there are bugs, and if they are bugs and the author is sleeping. Do you rate it 1 star? Can he sleep? And ifthe problem is just wordpress know how and it’s not the theme’s fault or the author’s job to teach wordpress? What do you do? Rate it 1 star?

I see what you’re saying, but let me give you an example, (If naming is not allowed, apologies). I liked the file ‘shine’ which first came as a psd template, which I purchased. After a few weeks they released an wordpress theme. It had major bugs and it didn’t work, a lot of people complained in the discussion page. I contacted the author, turned out somebody else did the coding so he forwarded my email to the author. (He didn’t reply to me, saying he forwarded it, but just fwded it). The one who coded it was familiar with the problems and was working on an update, he helped me via the email. He even got the ftp details and all. At a point he said he would do a complete reinstall, I would loose all my details cause of the new version. I agreed, he installed it but the same problems still existed.

We kept in touch via email and the discussion form, coder kept promosing he would fix the problems and more people purchased the theme, more people with problem. Suddenly the file was removed from themeforest, according to envato support, the file was removed by the author. From that moment on he stopped responding to the conversation and cause the file was removed, the discussion page was removed.

I truly think this file deserved a 1 star and I even feel that envato should refund to certain users. (Not to me personally cause the author tried) but the rating is regarding the file, not the author.

Most of the times, there are bugs, and if they are bugs and the author is sleeping. Do you rate it 1 star? Can he sleep?

If an author promised support , he cannot sleep for weeks no, I think when somebody tries to contact the author and the author did not respond within 1 week; then the buyer is allowed to rate 1 star.

And ifthe problem is just wordpress know how and it’s not the theme’s fault or the author’s job to teach wordpress? What do you do? Rate it 1 star?

Some themes are so difficult to set up, and sometimes settings/control options are not coded right… In that case it is indeed the author’s fault.

To give you another example, I browsed my files and found a file I purchased from codecanyon, beforehand I contacted the author because in the description he promised an updated version with extra features, the update would be free if you purchased the file. I purchased the file but the update never came. He posted a message saying that because of lack of time the update was cancelled. In my eyes ; this is fraud. And this author deserves a 1 star. I would love giving you more examples but only these are the ones I rated 1 star..
