Specifying Mall
What's happening with the mall specification? The old list of existing malls went away and the new list doesn't work properly. If you joined a mall that was in the old list, how do you specify that mall to be included in its stats? ------------------------------------- *star*MODERATOR NOTICE | ** MOVED ** from non-neopets related to Neomallers help & support -------------------------------------

It should be working fine. Whats not working for you? The new list is so all of the branches can be listed as branches instead of only individual malls. Better control for management. People will have to specify mall again.

What she said. I gotta set up the auto deletion thing since people are still creating branches as separate mall entries. --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez

You have to leave your old mall, get your mall manager to edit and save it, and then join again for it to work. Thats what we did anyways. And it's perfect! Love seeing the other branches.

[quote=perpette]It should be working fine. Whats not working for you? The new list is so all of the branches can be listed as branches instead of only individual malls. Better control for management. People will have to specify mall again.[/quote] I'm not sure how it suppose to work, but take RIM for example: I 'clicked' on the 'Leave' button and then clicked on "select" for Roo Island Malls, choose the "Boardwalk Shops" and then clicked on "Submit Query". OK, that all worked, but the problem is that all of the other members which were/are in the "old" mall selection for Boardwalk don't show up. There's no way to "select" the old mall listing to be grouped with them and all of the new members to RIM are all grouped together. It may be nice to see what they're doing, but all of the "mall" stats are essentially useless when you group all the members of the various branches together. I want to see the stats for my branch (Boardwalk), not all the members of all the branches. Also, as I said, none of the people who selected one of the old mall/shop show up either. Sine people only tend to changes these kind of settings when they change malls/shops these have not been up dated. Again for example, RIM has 5 branches and about 60 members in total. I don't know how many have NM counters, but most of them do. Only 3 (of which I'm one) are listed in the new RIM selection and I'm the only one in Boardwalk, but the other people's stats are combined with mine. - peter

Your own branch stats are shown in green and other branches from your own mall network are shown in blue. --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez

Well they were in colors as he said, but now they aren't as I just transferred control of it over to texas. It appears when a transfer may happen you will need to specify branch again but remain in the mall without a branch in the meantime. No there isn't a way to see you vs just your branches stats that I am seeing at the moment anyway other than hits being fully viewable by color coding.

Yes, it's nice to see total stats for all the various members of all the branches, but really I only care about how the members of my branch are doing. Just because people belong to another branch of the same mall, it's just semantics for what is essentially another mall. The stats that are important to a member of branch are the stats for that branch. Combining the stats for multiple branches is not meaningful. For example, right now in RIM there are 4 members listed. 2 from Boardwalk and 2 from LOR. My current stats for mall hits is 173 and I'm in 8th place overall in Top Shops with 635 hits. The other Boardwalk member is in 7th place overall with 655 hits. The 'mall' average for all 4 RIM members is 118, but obviously that average is meaningless for Boardwalk members since the LOR members have only 71 and 58 total hits and are lowering what the average would be for just the Boardwalk members. Since the two branches are not linked, none of the 'mall' hits (or total hits) from the Boardwalk members affect the LOR members at all. That's why I'd like to know the break down for my branch. The other branches do not affect me and thus the averages for the whole mall are meaningless. - peter

Pleasing everyone is so damn hard lol. Since someone was complaining the other day that they couldnt see stats of other branches, so i spent some time updating it and now more complaints. Maybe I should have it state the size of Brian's tent relative to Kirsty's current avatar :O --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez
