Well,

I dont know about other people, but I am quite unhappy with the gallery changes.  I find it to be very confusing to navigate this site.  I  dont like the smaller Image size with the zoom option because people wont use it.  The quality of images of others that I have gone back and looked at is pretty degraded unless you Zoom in.  As a graphic designer I am saddened by these changes.  The Galleries used to create a nice community feeling, but now it doesnt ...with the viewers comments off to the side and the poster's comments off to the side too.  I think Renderosity is going to lose alot of people with this change.  I dont know why you decided to change it so radically, and make it much less user friendly but you might want to re-consider some of the changes.  I have never really liked the voting system all that much, but now " The Most Rated " category, which I assume takes the place of the Hot 20 is going to leave alot of great artists who are less viewed in the dust.  Personally this place I used to call " Home away from Home " is a visual nightmare for me and it doesnt feel like home anymore.  It is designed in such a way as to be alienating. Oddly I have no desire to view peoples images with this gallery format.  The page is too cluttered and the image to small for my visual comfort.  I am sorry to say this.  I am trying to figure out why these changes were chosen as they certainly are not in the best interest of the artists.  Hopefully you will reconsider some of the changes and find a way to make this site a community the way it was before.   I am saddened and very disappointed.  Best of luck
