Hi, I see pond5 has changed the clip preview page. Just few comments: It is very easy to click "Report this item" (accidentally) even in a long distance from the text (sign): "Report this item" (white space on the right side from the text).
On the Needs Edit page there is still Location City and Country but on the clip preview page we cannot see the city and country. The same with model of camera or software used. What's the point to enter location (city and country) and camera or software data if buyer cannot see those information.

Looks like a nice improvement. Plus, it solves the double "add to cart" button issue, even AFTER Jonathon said to me "the item pages were only just recently re-designed, so I don't expect they'll make any changes to them anytime soon". Looks like they changed their minds (due to my suggestion?). Makes you wonder if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing 'round here.
But, I think it could be better if:
1. The pricing was more obvious. Looks like they buried the clip cost under the resolution. It's hard to read.
2. There's no downloading of a full rez still. That was a helpful feature for a buyer.
3. They removed the number of downloads, which is a good thing, but if I'm looking at my own clip and I'm logged in, I'd like to see this information
4. And, like @zelwanka said, put back camera type and location.

I just had a look at a random clip of mine and i could see all the things that you guys cant see (thumbnail,number of downloads on my clips as well as everyone else's,and camera and location) .
Maybe i am missing something here?
Agree about the price it's hard to read where it is.

That's odd. On all the clips I've check myself so far, I don't see location or camera data.
Like on this clip of mine:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/45270695
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/280996/p5-missing-location-camera.JPG, despite the location (New York City) and Camera type (GH4) being entered in the data. What do you see?

Hi! We are currently dividing the traffic between the old item detail page and the new one, in order to evaluate which one performs the best. This is why the page might look different.

I'm seeing the new one and all of the issues that James mentioned. What concerns me most is that someone at Pond5 thought tiny little prices with no contrast was a good idea.

I still have the old and like it.
1. When logged in the Artist should be able to see the number of sales ... that is important information. Not buyers and other Artists.
2. Location is very important. It helps the buyer put it into place. Just like location MUST be searchable.
3. Download a watermarked full frame is very important. It gives the buyer a better idea on quality and focus.
4. Camera type and model is important, are we embarrassed at what camera we use? If so upgrade to a good camera.
So really what is being used to determine "which one performs the best"
Please stop taking data away from Artists like number of sales ... camera type and model. Almost everthing can be hidden from other Artists. Other Artists don't need to see any of the data. When logged in, the owning Artist needs to have easy and quick access to all data.
It sure would be nice to change these forum blocks so we could expand the block to see more of what we are typing. There are areas that would help but most changes have taken ability, speed and efficiency away. For the Artists ... KISS it can be ugly but should be easy to see and use, every change should speed things up not slow things down and take information or statistics away. It should make everything easier for actual use and not what a program thinks is better. In the last couple years many changes have really slowed us down. Functions we loved are gone. Read the thread on the 'batch tag video" as an example.

Hi, I found one more problem. When the description is a bit longer there is "more" link but it is not working.
I checked in Firefox and Chrome. Or it is only problem in my browsers? Here is link to the example:

Good catch. That is a problem. SS had that issue a few years back. To fix it, all they need to do is more...
