@Rex
Dividing around 1500 cards into 2 piles (Not on wishlist or on wishlist) is stille a lot of cards in each pile.
Having 4 piles, makes for fewer cards in each pile. (not marked, preview, wishlist and wishlist+preview)
But you are taking away 2 of those options/piles.

Yes, we can preview as many cards as we like, but can only keep the mark for 7 cards.
So we need a way to mark the cards that has been previewed.
A way to give it our own evaluation; is it a must have or a can do without -card.
Without it, I will need to preview my way through all 1500 cards I have not already bought (or at least the 200+ on my wishist), to decide which one is the next to buy. I can not afford to buy on impulse, so I need to know, my investment is the best possible...
That the preview of a given card may or may not start immediately, when played, is not useful.

My 2 cents about sales...
Today, as I saw the Valentine Day card I bought it at once, because it was discounted.
I think that, if all new cards would have a discount lasting for the release day only, we would buy far more of them.

We've decided to still remaster some older card (720 > 1080 & 1080 > 3K). I've posted a dedicated thread few weeks ago with wishlists. We will start by the most popular cards. They will be available to download by packages (instead of one by one). It's a very long process that takes time. 1080>3K remastered cards will be more numerous first than 720>1080. Keep in mind that, as already said, 720 cards can't get a 3K definition as they were not shot in this def.

We'll provide a delete button in the Preview section in the next release.
You can deactivate Free Previews by right clicking on the model when they show up on your desktop and click on the "Enable/Disable" icon.

Not being able to disable Free Preview is an issue that will be fixed in the next release.

Yes Free Previews are our advertising for new girls, the thing is when you accumulate them, they become a substitute for real content. It happened with free loaders, building entire collections of Free Preview, it happened with paying members who as soon as iStripper was released started to collect Free Previews instead of buying Full Shows.

You're only limited to 7 Free Previews at a time on your screen, but there is no limit to how many previews you can watch. Any preview you downloaded in the past should still be on your hard drive, so clicking on download preview (which will be instant) and play preview will bring her back (come on, that's two instant clicks instead of one). If you're using Free Previews to see the girl's move when considering buying her Full Show, I don't see where the problem is. If you were pilling up Free Previews as free content, then yes, it is restrictive. If you were using Free Preview as your wish list, we added a WhishList function for it now.

When we released iStripper, our spirit was to give complete freedom to users with Free Previews. It backlashed hard on our sales and we tried to find the least restrictive way to fix it. As I said above, we're going to experiment with promotions in the Free Preview tabs soon, and that's one key point in the fairness of the whole change.

I watch less porn nowdays not just because of istripper but I just can't be bother with much of the hardcore stuff, there is a few exceptions of course - If like if Sapphira were to....you know what I mean (fantasy) but she is unlikely to and I wouldn't like to see her go the way of a lot of hardcore stuff! (A lot is just a put off for me and boring!) I just like looking at the beautiful women pranking/dancing around in sexy gear! istripper girls is a good distraction far better and even healthier in my book than the other harder stuff! (I am relitive new here to istripper because of the other stuff is so so! Glad I found a more classy site.) Now as Popeved said (and I agree) the key is everything in moderation! Xerato keep getting those better vibes :) Cheers

I have the New Version and I dont see an option to delete a Model...

@wuzthis
Yeah, I dont think you got a single paragraph of my post.....

Just add 50 free previews per user level. Problem solved, free loaders go home and the paying customers live happily ever after...

Bonjour encore une nouvelle version qui enlève les bonnes fonctions de l'ancienne à savoir la supression des démos quand elle ne nous plaisent pas.
C'est quand bien chiant à la fin.

I can have girls stripping all day on my second monitor, it's good company. Some models can be VERY distracting though :p but it would be weird having hardcore porn there all day, even softcore solos would be off.

Add 7 more of your choice might work :)

@Wyldanimal

When I downloaded the last release, I set previews to "never", but the software (how fast!) had already downloaded two previews.
As usually when I buy a show, I opened the "Models" folder and after selecting all demo files (*.demo) I deleted them manually.
But the image of the downloaded previews remained in the "previews" section, as you can see in attached scan.
Is there a way to remove them permanently?
Thank you!

"While I'm here, I have another complaint. I never knew after you disabled clips in the clips tab that you could right click on the trashcan in the details tab and delete the disabled clips. Why is this option not available in the clips tab?"

Holy *****, I never knew you could do this. Dayum nice catch.

@Dunkelskog
"REX already told us that there are 100,000's of Free users just downloading and watching previews.
And that iStripper can't stay in business to pay bandwidth for all the Free Users."

" I understand everyone wants free unlimited access to everything, but there was a lot of ***** with the free previews [..] and we’ve been saying for months we’d eventually have to limit it."
" As I said above, since we switched from VirtuaGirl [..] to iStripper [..] we saw hundred thousands of accounts with thousands of free demos a not a single sale, thousands of platinum+ accounts now only collecting previews and over 80% of new users converting far less than before just because they had to actively seek girls to see new previews."

Not all 'paying customers' are currently paying customers, as Rex basically explained.

@Dunkleskog
"Thats like running a tv network and blocking your customers from watching the commercials. The full shows are already paid for and you gain nothing more when theyre being watched, but the previews are basically free advertising; and effective advertising too."

Poor comparison. Like, really poor considering that most commericals are annoying, obnoxious, and very in your face (like me, right now) and commercials have very little in common with iStripper's advertising because of it's method of implementation. Am I going to go further into the details? No.

I really fail to see why you'd ever want to limit previews from your paying customers. Thats like running a tv network and blocking your customers from watching the commercials. The full shows are already paid for and you gain nothing more when theyre being watched, but the previews are basically free advertising; and effective advertising too. I can guarantee you I would by more milk in the supermarket if the milk would occasionally flash its panties at me!

Now, I can understand that you want to put a limit on freeloaders that never buy anything, so let the amount of free previews be a function of how many cards you own. I like to keep a ratio of about 2:1 on previews vs full shows having a nice mix of new cards and 'will buy soon' cards mixed with the full shows. I can guarantee that with the current limit of 7 previews I will be buying a lot less in the future (maybe I'll spend the money on milk)

Mila +1

Seconded. (Thirded?) I've just upgraded to a new laptop, and the 720p cards are noticeably lo-res now. I'm not going to re-download most of them, which leaves me feeling like I've lost something I paid for. I'm certainly never going to buy any further ones. But I would pay something to upgrade a number of my old favourites, if that was what it took to make it worth Totem's time.

It does nothing if you have progressive hotness checked.

Unchecking progressive hotness allows the other settings to work as described.

Progressive hotness overriding other settings is a known issue in the GUI.

iN general...everything has it's time and place...common cents will tell you that moderation is key however common cents isn't always easy to cum by :D

@xerato It depends with me. I can sometimes use Istripper when I have to work on something really boring on my laptop and then It helps me to get through that. (the beautiful women put me in a better mood, I guess) So in that case it helps me to do useful things. Dont know if thats what u meant.

Hi there - I'd love to comment for myself that since I stripper, I watch less porn on the internet (especially videos - but I shall say 'generally') - due to finding Istripper more 'personal' which I love - It also brings me up to better vibes with myself and other people in general.

I also spend more time doing useful things
Who else feels the same?

The stupid previews are still playing even though I have them disabled...this new version sucks! (and not in a good way)

You are not informative nor funny. Please don't wink at me or reply to my posts. Thanks.

I'm not lazy but I don't check the forums everyday for new version release data that would tell me this if you even provide it. Like I said, just add a tab on the iStripper program that tells us all the cool things we can do with keyboard shortcuts or frequently ***** about issues solved by them.

Mila Azul, yeah! Finally :)

While I'm here, I have another complaint. I never knew after you disabled clips in the clips tab that you could right click on the trashcan in the details tab and delete the disabled clips. Why is this option not available in the clips tab?

Who thought it would be a good idea to make this a right click option that nobody knows about until they ***** in the forums? Who thought this would be a great idea to put in a tab other than the clips tab? Who thought this wouldn't be a great button to put in the CLIPS tab for us to easily see and use?

Really guys? This information was so little too late it's really annoying to say the least. You guys really need to disclose this kind of stuff in a place we can access on the iStripper app/program.

If it's a button you replaced with a keyboard shortcut or something we can do that's not obvious like right clicking the trashcan to delete disable clips then you need to make a seperate tab to let us know. Seriously, the more I find out in the forums vs your program/app, the more I get angry at the lack of information easily accessable to us. Pretend we are dumb and tell us everything we can do in one tab we can access on iStripper.

Thank you.

I'm at the point where I wish I could download the VG version 7-8 years ago and just use that. This is getting kind of ridiculous.

*I'm adding this post here because I was told to do so.

Background on why:

There are a lot of things you can do on iStripper that aren't obvious. You guys take away a lot of buttons to do things and replace it with keyboard key combinations that we/I never hear about or know.

An example is highlighting all of my cards to enable/disable. There used to be a button for this and now we have to hold down CTRL+A. This is not common knowlege for advanced uses like myself who have been a member for 10 years. Quit removing buttons that are commonly used with keyboard combinations.

If you are going to do so then add a tab for keyboard shortcuts like all vidoe games and give us a list of commands and what they do. You could have saved me a lot of time, trouble and effort if you would have done that. I'm down for changes and making VG/iStripper more steamlined and user friendly but you guys are really screwing up by getting rid of key buttons/options and making it harder than it needs to be.

Sybil

so in other words "dont show any nudity unless i ask for it" does nothing, afterall you have to make your hotness setting "No Nudity", which does the same thing

Hi all! There are 2 very annoying bugs with the latest version of the program on my computer:
1- sometimes the show plays BEHIND the program window
2- last but not least, now it makes my windows explorer to crash when i try to get access from the taskbar..

Is there a fix for these issues?? Thanxx for your answers and Totem, keep up the good work :))

Are you absolutely sure it's redownloading them again, as opposed to being an instantaneous thing? It always shows a download icon whenever a preview cannot be normally be played, and merely needs to be clicked to enable it again.

Mila finally :))

For me the problem is also the fact that my HD would be used without any notification from the software: what is using it. I can write myself a script that would show me which cards still have a demo (even tough it's not visible in the application any more) but it's just feels weird. Alternative is like russian rullete: pressing preview -> will it download it again? Or just show? Am I feeling lucky? ;)

@kutta you’re still able to quickly go thru any amount of free previews you want, it’s just that there won’t be more than 7 at a given time on your screen (wich is for me already more than I can deal at once on my task bar). If you don’t ***** the P2P buffer to zero in the registry, any preview you’ve already downloaded comes instantly back on your screen, click on download preview which is instant since the data is already on your HD and then play.

I agree some free loaders, especially in certain countries, will never buy no matter what. But we’ve seen a significant decline in first buys on new comers since iStripper and its unlimited free previews and we need to fix it. Numbers will talk, but I think that, with the help of the community, and there is still tuning to be done, that we’re going in the right direction.

Oh ok, I was under the impression that it deletes the files for all previews except the 7 chosen. It must be a bug in the software then because when I try to play previews of a card (that I had previously downloaded) it usually wants to download it all over again. Which is very annoying and hopefully addressed in the next update

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely try that.

Not sure why it isn't working. Could be a bug.

It may have to do with "levels of eroticism" and "progressive hotness", above "Don't show any nudity unless I click to see it" in settings.

If you set levels of eroticism to "no nudity" only and uncheck the rest of the boxes that works as I have tried it just now.

Also, you have to uncheck "progressive hotness" as that overrides "levels of eroticism" and may also override the "Don't show any nudity" button as well.

Update:

I just tried it with "progressive hotness" checked and "Don't show any nudity" checked as well. Got to see Lady Dee wearing nothing but a smile.

It seems "progressive hotness" also overrides "Don't show any nudity" as well as "levels of eroticism".

Uncheck "progressive hotness" and the rest should work ok.

I reported this issue several months ago and it is supposed to be on "the list" of things to be dealt with "soon",
