i like my new gallery, Gives the images a fresh look with a different background! i think i shall change my avatar to celebrate. i am tired of that phsycopathic bald guy...

and i cant edit my forum options till the re-design is complete or else i would change the shocking link on my signature which now looks awful..

now i know i've been away much too long from here when i didn't know all this happened! wow!!! i'm still dipping my toe in..

It's pretty....

its pretty but I hate change. And my eyes aren't so good so it took me a while to figure out where the links I usually use were. But hey, I made it here.

Coincidentally, I chose the moment they relaunched the site to resign from posting any more 3D work by posting my last-ever 3D piece......the two events weren't related!
 
I think the site looks absolutely fantastic; a superb job by whoever was responsible.

Jeez, it looks awful! 

White letters on dark background sucks.
It's an eye killer.

EDIT - and what's with the tiny font?

**I love the change
I  like changes though maybe that's why lol:

When things in life stay the same
life becomes boring and oh hummmmmmmm!!

hugs ))**

Love it!

Whoa, the New Graphics Look Awesome too!

Oooh.  I love it.

Annoyingly I HAVE to go to the Marketplace to get to my account whereas I could just click on it from the homepage originally.Apart from that it's ok.

I like it, will take some time to get used to it.

It does however feel a little narrow and constricting with the new table setup.

You're switching to 2D??

Can we change the background colors like we were able to with the last one? This black and white is hurting my eyes.

Not bad, I would like to find a wider setup though. Approx half my screen width is unused.

Thats what I"m talking about :)

In Site Mail.... someone sent me some Links, but they show up in White on White, so I couldnt see them.

mutters and grumbles Bah! Humbug!

Actually, I kinda like parts of it. Don't like that the gallery menu item is not the first or second item, this being a gallery site. Instead it's the marketplace.... And secondly there's much wasted screen space. Nice visuals, although the font is small. For me though it's okay. Will have to touch up my avatar. And my gallery home page here now shows my favorites.. and only 7 of my own images...

Some change is good..

Is it me or is it much slower though :(

If it aint broke dont fix it.............

I like it....looks like one of them there prefessionals did it!

just one thing gives me pause...the part of my gallery that shows what I've recently been looking at. What if I don't want people (like supervisors...;) knowing what I've looked at at home, when I'm on my lunch hour? now I have to be careful at home, too?....sigh...;)

i like the new logo....

Incarnadine -> I just found this posted (by Gareee) on another site which might help you with the screen thing.. He was taking specifically about Rendo's new forum layout and how to beat its narrowness on higher resolution monitors.

"
If anyone uses a widescreen or higher rez desktop, and peruses those forums, drop this code in the forum style box, and save yer eyesight.

table { width: 100%; font-size: 20px; }.content_cell { background-image: none ; }#topnavbar td table { width: 120; }
"

Hope it helps/works for ya.

I think I like it.     The only thing bugging me is that they didn't check what it looks like for those of us who show full sized images in the gallery.   The yellow border thing at the top cuts halfway through the picture.   I think the fact they didn't think to check, is more annoying than the fact it does it.   

That´s for being away to much. 
The graphics and overall look is not bad at all, i´ve always favoured darker colors for image presentation.
The navigation is another story. I preferred the old way, it was less cluttered.

And sadly this webpage is starting to look more and more like a store for Poser content and less like a community and image gallery.

It's a lot easier on the old eyes now that there is a bigger font.

forum style box?! where and what is that?! I use a wide-screen monitor too and would like to use the space i actually have..

MarketPlace gets header button number (( 2 )) while the Gallery and forums get buttons (( 6 )) and (( 7 )). Why isn't that a surprise?
 

Ek-art - in the forums button on that menu bar thingy near the top and go to the forum options. I think thats what is meant (I haven't done this myself as I'm on an old 17" so don't go higher than 1024x768).

oh please tell me this is a work in progress doodle someone accidentally uploaded...

what i like:

• the new logo graphic
• the light tints in the sidebar

what i dont like:

• "look & feel" changes when you scroll down through the site (lack of unity).
• 'work in progress feeling'
• overall contrasts are too strong
• messy use of layout, color, whitespace and borders
• waaay too much contrast on the gradients
• color usage and graphics do not aid navigation at all
• too many things going on
• graphical elements look cheesy and lack attention to detail
• when rounded corners appear they are generally too extreme.

No offence to u but.. hell no it doesnt look professional! If a designer would give me this for my money... I'd probably hand the designs back to him and tell him ill go find someone else to do it.

YAY works!! Thanks flak :)

.content_cell { background-image: url(http://www.renderosity.com/photos/File861.jpg);
    background-color: #333333;
background-repeat: repeat-y
   }

This image is only 1000 px wide, but you get the idea.  The #333333 is just the default from my website where I copied from.

The CSS for this is:
.content_cell { background-image: url(http://www.galeblair.com/phil/stuff/rendoback.jpg);
    background-color: #000000;
background-repeat: fixed
   }

You're welcome to download the graphic, but I'd rather you didn't hotlink to it.  And don't think I won't know who is!  ;-)

Rayraz - I think you may have missed my attempt at sarcasm....I typed 'them there' and misspelled professionals with an e instead of an o on purpose. Sort of like the way a hillbilly or redneck would praise something lowbrow as being high quality stuff. The new home page, with all the 'ads' for marketplace items does look more like an intro for the marketplace than it does the home page of an 'art community'

'Round these here parts, we prefer 'mountain man'.:biggrin:
