Clipper Problems

Some people have been reporting problems with the Polyvore Clipper. So far we haven't been able to reproduce the bugs, so we need your help tracking down the issue.

If you are having a problem with the clipper, please leave a comment on the blog and answer the following questions:

  1. Your operating system (Windows, Mac, etc.)
  2. Your browser and version (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, etc.)
  3. A link to the page you're trying to clip from
  4. A detailed description of the problem you're seeing. For example, "The clipper window doesn't show up at all." or "The green outline doesn't appear when I mouse over the image I want to clip." or "After I click the Import button, the item doesn't show up in My Items."
Thanks for your help! We'll try to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Update (July 24) : We managed to fix some bugs, but if you're still seeing issues, trying clearing your browser cache by following these instructions. If you're still seeing problems, report them in the comments. Thanks!

1. Macbook
2. firefox (Not sure which version, but I just downloaded it last fall)
3. Any clipping
4. The drop down window appears, but always asks me to sign in. The green frame appears, but I can't clip because it says I'm not signed in.

4. I can't install clipper. I really don't know why, maybe because there is no Links Toolbar in my toolbars...?

okk so I am having A LOT of problems with my polyvoree!!! =[

It won't let me fave a set, or leave a comment. Also, you know how when you are looking at a set and in the top right corner of the page it shows like three of the next sets from that person?!? Well that isn't there. also, I can't save an item into my items. tear tear.

I know that these are not the problems that you are talking about...but I can't figure out any other way to contact you. Thanks!!! =]

3. Trying to clip from google images currently, but the clipper does the same mistake for every website
4. The clipper window appears but repeatedly asks to sign in, the green frame pops up around the image but it won't let me clip because it keeps asking me to sign in. (even though I am signed in already)

Same problem as Harpweaver, basically!

This is very irritating!

The green frame appears, but I can't clip because it says I'm not signed in and I keep signing in and waiting 3 seconds for the window to close but nothing happens and I try again. Also, I've tried clearing the cache but it still doesn't work.
