When adding new bras to Bratabase

If you are adding a website link (please do!) it needs to be the brand's official specific page for that bra

This is so we can quickly find the pictures and add its size range and get things running smoothly

Eg. Freya Deco Moulded Bra

Right link: http://www.freyalingerie.com/lingerie/essentials/deco/moulded_plunge_bra.aspx?colour=black

Examples of wrong links:

http://www.freyalingerie.com/ (not specific ... to the bra)

http://www.brastop.com/search?q=freya+deco+bra&orderby=15&specs=bras&gclid=CjwKEAjwqdi7BRCL6Zmjk5-rsTwSJABmrVabeSHkXW6pLSNRzCoB9VigckN70pMRODTdJPcXyBhyOhoCkuTw_wcB (not official)

http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/black-white-and-nude-bras/deco-bra/black/fyn2bl/

Some brands (eg Lupoline) may not have linkable models on their website but have an offical exclusive partner who sells their bras. This is good enough too (or at least until we find a better one!)

- Where do you put the link? I added a new model recently and didn't notice a place to link it. Might have just missed it though
- If you go to a brand's page and scroll down to the bottom you will see:
  
  Permissons
  
  Add models
  
  (Below "help tagging models, Report duplicate, Suggest changes")
  
  ^ This is where you can add models. In fact it's a better way to do it as you can provide more info

Anyone tried Helen Kukovksi?

So far there's no bras/measurements added to Bratabase yet

They do mostly matrix sizes (30-34 AA-DD, 36-40 A-DD) and bralettes in XXS - XXL

However they have some pretty cute designs including sheer mickey mouse, superman and love heart bralettes and TONS of high waisted knickers

- kerniss has a blog post about her :) https://brogwithadog.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/etsy-spotlight-helen-kukovski/
- I wonder how accurate her size chart is. It indicates to use the +4 method, so I wonder if the bras are actually constructed using the +4 method. If its accurate, than an XXXL (which she doesn't seem to make but it does appear on her size chart) should fit me rather well.

Recommendations

I currently wear 30F - 32F -30FF bras, yet the system recommends 34C's and 32D's xD
Oh well, I guess no mechanism is flawless.

- Yeah, it's kinda funny
  
  I have some amusing results too. The more information I provide, the less recommendations I get ;) Now I don't have any, just advice to try 30G and 30GG with two annotations, this new one is the best: 'We could not find any recommendations with enough confidence.'. So. No recommendations. At the beginning there were plenty of them xD And usually 32FF/32G fits me best...
- Mine used to be pretty far off as well. I'm not sure what changed (maybe the algorithm, since my measurements haven't changed substantially) but now it recommends almost the correct size, it just sister sizes up in the band

I finally wrote about what's "new"

This is a list of changes that happened from Feb to early May. They've been around for a few months, but I'm not sure if anybody discovered them or at least was aware of the details.

This is a long post with lots of changes!

Jun 14, 2016

I just received four Gorsenia bras in the mail and I'd like to add their measurements here but neither style currently exists in the database. I have two sizes of "Solange K159" which is a silver padded half-cup and two of the "Macchiato K149" which is a similar light brown half-cup. Both bras are currently being sold by Other Eden on Amazon and you can also view them on Gorsenia's site. So they do indeed exist. How do I go about getting them added so I can input the measurements?

- When you are on the Add a Bra page, after choosing the brand, there is a link at the bottom of the list of models to add a new model.
- Found it. Thanks!

Depth ratio?

Am I crazy, or were there a couple new fields in the measurements tables earlier? I still see cup height, but I was pretty sure there was a depth ratio and then one other thing that isn't showing up anymore.

- Not crazy ;-)
- It is along the bunch of stuff that I have to write about to communicate the new changes.
  
  You can enable to show the ratios fields on your preferences:

  I'm still checking if these numbers are good to show here or if they are spooky to casual visitors.

That annoying moment when...

You really want a bra and the gal selling it logs in long enough to list it, but not again after that whatsoever.

(It was 1.5 weeks ago when I emailed her)

SIGH.

- :-( I've had multiple users dismiss my emails: read, no reply. Sigh. Hope she logs in soon. Vacation, medical issue perhaps...
- No idea! She hasn't logged in after that day at all. Hasn't read the message either, I'm sure. I will probably just give up. I have qualms about trusting someone who logs in only to list and then doesn't come back.

The pictures we post here how safe are they ?

Yeah I know it's the internet and everything but I was surprised to see a bratabase picture being used as someone's "stock" photo on eBay . So what safe guard are in place to help prevent people from saving pictures and using elsewhere ? And do they come up in a Google image search ? Assuming that is how the eBay seller came across the image . I like seeing fit on real people but this makes me go hmmmm http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-30DDD-F-Cleo-By-Panache-Minnie-Doyd-Lace-Mesh-Tsrim-Balconnet-Bra-58-/152083959683?hash=item2368e90f83:g:QvkAAOSwzhVWriKW

- Grimace. :-(
- Pictures don't come up in Google image search. There is a configuration set here that tells google not to use them ( http://www.bratabase.com/robots.txt ). In the past they were and we got lots of good traffic from people doing bra searches but users in those days weren't happy about it.
  
  This picture was grabbed directly from the site and it has to be reported to them. He came across the picture probably by googling "Pictures of panache minnie" and finding Bratabase on the results and seeing that the website had pictures.
  Sadly, ebay makes it near impossible to make accurate reports and have a follow up on what's going on. They do not care much about that. Other option is to contact the seller and ask to take the picture down.
  
  This has happened once several years (that I'm aware of) ago and that's when the watermark and logo were added, which deterred many, but evidently not everybody.
  
  That time, I did go through LOTS of trouble and surprisingly got on the phone with someone from ebay to try to fix this (I wouldn't believe it if somebody else told me that they got on the phone with someone from ebay). The solution they gave me was to report the item from using stolen photographs (which is quite common practice on ebay and on internet in general).
  
  There is no prevention on the Internet from anybody from saving on their computer what they have on their screen. As simple as a screen capture will get it available. By definition the image has to be downloaded to their computer for it to be displayed, so the very act of seeing it means it is on a computer we don't control.
  
  Knowing this, there is a lot of thought always put on the site so that everybody is safe so nobody can get harmed, reached or contacted. More information here:
  http://www.bratabase.com/help/privacy/#Your-pictures-are-not-linked-to-your-profile
  
  You are safe. You are anonymous (as long as you don't provide contact information) but (sadly?) the nature of the internet means that data is available to anybody that accesses the site. They may not all do as we wish with that data.

Search

Is there any way we can go back to the old search option? Every time I search, the first thing that comes up are measurements to be added (I personally don't search by measurements-although I'm sure some do), and then it shows each bra by size. I was searching for Comexim bras. With the old search, every Comexim bra would come up first, then the individual sizes.

- Oh, I see what you mean. Jj that does seem odd that we cant browse by model in the search, but every single individual size of every model comes up. I'm not sure how thats useful
- I feel the same way. The old search also allowed you to search for topics as well. I miss being able to look for other information like shipping and fit info using keyword searches.

listings gone

anybody else is having this problem? Almost all of my listings are gone! (And I had to reaccept the buyers agreement)
should I just relist everything or is it a problem that just has to be fixed at the website?
Thx for your help!

Anyone else seeing 2-year-old "Fitting Help" suggestions on the right?

Hmm, I guess just a reminder to "close" your Fitting Help pages after you've been helped, because I've been getting suggestions off to the right from nearly 2 years ago. I'm about to comment to help, and then see the date is from 2014! Haha I don't think you need help any more if it's two years old. Some will be from within the last few days, but others will be old, and I just don't know how or why they're generated as a suggestion for me to click on.

- The last fit request in the column is a random one. After a month of getting a 2 suggestions they get an email monthly reminding them to close it. They choose to ignore it I guess.
- Jj Hm, interesting, ok good to know!

Slowly trying to get more people jump on it voluntarily and tested before it happens to everybody and we get people saying they don't like it and want to go back.

I am now part of the bratabase team!

Well, I have been the past few weeks, but I'm now sort-of confident in how it all works now!

Feel free to message me if you think any brands or models or pictures are missing - as that's what I'll be doing!
