Okay, I am going to congratulate and apologize to the PTB. I honestly thought that they would simply leave the design as is, but they have already implemented one huge change with the Wishlist.

BRAVO 'Rosity!

Following what originalkitten said, I would even suggest making each of those columns sortable now. They are nice and neat, so being able to sort by Type, Item, Vendor, and Price would be fnntastic, and shouldn't cost too much in code.

The only other thing I really want to see back is the "Other products by this vendor" option. I don't really mind the RDNA-style page layout, though I did prefer the old way. Seeing other products by the same vendor right there added hundreds of dollars in items to my wishlist. (Especially when the item was made by a second author. Then the items in the list change when you click over. Brings new vendors to the eye, never bad for business!)

Honestly, I don't much care for feedback. In my experience, it isn't much different than the galleries. Almost never do you see any comment more than "It's a great product, and I use it all the time now!" Now I am no merchant, so I can't speak for those people. Maybe others find it useful, I personally don't.

Well, I guess I don't "HATE" the new market place, but I hate that they've taken away some of the functionality. I have downloads here going back to 2002, and all there is now is a row of numbers. So now it's soooooo easy to re-download something... The Orders is just that, how you ordered each group of purchases. If you click on Item List, you will see all the items you ordered (second link about Order List.) To me this is a nice feature. Maybe they need to change the default to Items, instead of Orders, but it is just one more click.

yes I just found out about the orders. That IS nice. I dunno why the orders are there at all, actually.. I mean, why not just have them on the Item List page like before?

Well, I can see uses, the fact the Orders groups things as purchased. Trying to track down the name of that product you bought with the Scene you are using. Go check the Order History. I tend to use order History frequently at other sites that have it available, or I have to dig through my E-mails.

"Can't remember whoever said that bit about putting all the eggs in one basket. But it was clearly not a merchant. It's easy to have the right opinions as long as you're not the one losing money on it... " Oh..So because I'm not a merchant here,I have no business sense? I guess If I had no gallery here,I'd not be able to critique others artwork either right? Tom

I think that the intimation is that there is a benefit to having "Exclusive" products sold here (the merchant gets a bigger slice of the sale than if sold on multiple store sites). Considering that sales on some sites are usually minimal if non-existent (I don't think I've sold one item on 3DCommune - all available here as well), this is incentive to 'put all eggs in one basket'. Not that I don't agree that diversifying is a better approach, mind you! :) Note that I have not really complained about the new-fangled MP much. My only gripe is the removal of functionality during the transition, even if to be replaced soon enough. I don't see why that was necessary - sounds like live beta-testing to me... ;) Assuredly, it will all be restored and hopefully in ways that are superior to the previous incarnation. Let us pray!

I notice that they fixed a few things. Still along way to go, but at least it isn't being left in the state of disaster as it was released. A new look with all of the same features and perks that the old one had, I can live with. I'd still like to see the "add to wish list" an actual button in an easier to find spot, than the teensy weensy text that it currently is. It seemed like 5 minutes passed before I finally found it.

Is the date the product was uploaded on the product page anywhere? It used to be right at the top. I liked that. I like knowing (roughly) when something was made.

With the MP the way it is now and the purchased area showing up only as the order number of your purchase that day, how are we supposed to know if a product has been updated? I find that of all the updates that have appeared in my purchase history, I have received email notification of 4 of them. The rest I discovered accidently while looking through my purchase history to redownload a file. Are we expected to click on every single oder number, every single day in order to see the items purchased under that order number? I'd rather have my purchases show up separately instead of by "order number", and with the very least a name beside it, so that I can see at a glance what I have purchased and see at a glance if there are any updates for it. This display by order number sucks big time :(

How do you PM or Email a merchant now? The old store had their name hyperlinked which took you to a profile page where you could pick to look at their gallery, free stuff, store, favourite artists etc... and at the bottom of that page you could click a link to either email or send a PM to the merchant. This new look doensn't have that, and there is no "email" or "PM Merchant" link, or a link to their free stuff contributions. I liked being able to click on the merchants name and not only see what else was in their store, but also be able to access other contributions by that person, be it their gallery or free stuff and have ways to contact the person in case I had questions about the item.... which I have done.

Bit the bullet: re-build my Cart and went ahead and made the purchases. All went very smooth. No problems. I complained earlier and while I believe, generally, in the line from Luc Besson's Leon: 'Change aint good, Leon' Renderosity is too good of store to stay away long. I've had so much help here at the Forum and the freebies can't be beat. Renderosity is still my favorite site and still my favorite store. Thanks to everyone posting with Poser tips. Best Wishes ALL.

Looks like they are slowly reincorporating all of the old features. The wishlist now has vendor, sale, and price. And checkout was smooth. Eventually, eventually... :)
