Got to say I have been keeping a close eye on FD the past few months and compared to when I joined I think the quality of new files has gone down fellas.

There is enough Banner Rotators and Different Menus to suit most tastes I think at this point….how many variations of the same kind of thing like that can you have?

Originality has gone way down…..it has got very repeditive here.

Time to up the Ante….I will be keeping an eye on the Premium files because real effort seems to go into them to justify their higher price.

So before anyone asks again about it being slower or because of the credit crunch I would say look at the types of file you are producing.

It’s just the way the cookie rolls – if someone comes up with a fresh new idea and it sells well one week – what happens next week? Suddenly there are 3 similar files to that popular file. If something is in demand and it’s selling, other authors are going to make those files because it almost always guarantees sales. But I agree – the best way to see creativity and originality is with ‘Premium’ files.

I agree with eirehotspur for the quality issue. I don’t mind if there are 50+ very similar gallery’s , but there are a lot of gallery’s that are very badly developed… flashDen is becoming like flashKit , files on flashKit are free , and for a good reason….
If you look at the files on ultrashock.com they have a very good, quality library….
There are a lot of files here that are easily broken , by resizing a browser window , or clicking on images while other images are loading. That is simply unprofessional.

That is true – when I’m checking out new files I like to see if I can break it by clicking randomly on menu items and resizing the browser or clicking on stuff while other stuff is loading or animating and a lot of the time glitches pop up or stuff breaks completely needing a page refresh to get it back to normal. I do these tests with my own files too and most of the time you can iron out all the bugs before uploading. I think more authors should do these tests because you’re going to save yourself from alot of headaches later when buyers find those glitches you missed.

Well you may or may not be suprised that we reject a lot more than approving recently and imo I think quality doesn’t go down at least

I stopped uploading last month after starting at Dell.

I may continue to release new files in months to come, and for now I have simply been keeping up with support comments and emails.

Best month yet in sales here though for October by 200% so far!

8-)

Cheers, Flash_Cart

Some “Quality Standards Guidelines” should come in handy. Like the ones from istock photo.
Are there any thoughts about this in the HQ?
