You know.....it's kind of funny. I recall when Rendo switched over the Marketplace not too long ago.....and man, oh, man did people ever gripe about the changes. And NOW: the system that was intially castigated and bemoaned out of the gate is being praised as the best thing that there ever was. A programmer's dream. It's just.....funny to watch. IMO, the new setup is not so bad. I can't say that I'm instantly in love with it. And I certainly hope that customer reviews will be added back in later. And I'd like to see "Add to cart" and "Add to Wishlist" buttons put on the two sample image pages -- so that you aren't forced to return to the front product page in order to add the item to your cart. That just causes an extra page-load. Other than those few things -- it'll all come out in the wash. It always does. That's pretty much my thoughts too... When it was changed the last time, everybody was upset about the change, it was the most awful marketplace ever but after reading all this, it wasn't so bad after all I guess... ;) Right now, it's not good, but give it a few days, give them a bit of time to fix the things that don't work properly and the stuff that has been overlooked and maybe it will grow on you... When you change a site this big, with so many features on it, there's got to be some stuff that won't work or features that were forgotten just a few hours after the change... In a couple of weeks I'm sure things will be fixed and we will have gotten used to it.
