I have tried to use it a few times now, and gotten nothing... in fact I just did a search for M4 in the poser forum (not changing any other settings) and did not even get MY own post asking where I had M4 in my subject.

I have also noticed that the search engine in the gallery does not seem to be bringing in much and mostly NOTHING when I try searches there. I can't figure this out.

In the gallery for example, I wanted to see if I could tell a friend how to view all my "Chronic Illness" series, so I did a search and only came up with ONE.... I title all my series Chronic Illness and then put a colon: and some words .... (and I do have a LOT of them, but it would take a long time to find them all, as they are all here and there among many other images in my gallery....

And while I am on the subject... still, I know that if I want to do a search in the store I have to have the EXACT word or I get sooo much that has nothing to do with what I am searching for... pretty much I don't use it at all.... not to say it's a serious complaint, THIS IS MY FAVORITE STORE, BAR NONE and I shop a lot here!!!

and THANK YOU for fixing the part where a person in the store makes a comment and now the person's name DOES GO to their gallery! yea! :)

Either it is my new TIGHT firewall (but not sure how that could affect it??) or is there some changes going on.... or?

Thanks,

Lyne

The search function doesn't work with terms under 3 characters. So "M4" will not bring up any results, but "Mike 4" will (presuming there's any results to return.)

I did a gallery search on "chronic illness" and received 4 pages of results, including several of yours. When I restricted it to "chronic illness" and selected only Poser, I got 24 results which included 7 of yours.

OH that is interesting... I will try that...(add poser in...thought I did, but with my brain....?!)  I also turned my firewall down a notch and at least I could move around much faster and the large pics would come up... it's a trade off I guess.... which of course has nothing to do with searches...

Thanks! :)

I see that Lyne mentioned that after,

turned my firewall down a notch and at least I could
move around much faster and the large pics would
come up...

I think that your firewall should not affect how fast the browser downloads
web pages ... nor should it block images based on size. 

IOW, there might be something else causing those side effects. 

When you say firewall, do you mean a firewall router ... that is, external to your PC?
... Or do you mean a software firewall running under Windoze?

another strange thing I've noticed with the search engine is that it displays interviews/articles etc that are not public and that is shows market place pages with products that have been removed.  Not good....

Uh I have two firewalls, one hardware and one software and set VERY HIGH... if I do turn it down a notch, I can move around here faster... it may have to do also (in the gallery) with it's pop up blocker... I just deal with it now, knowing it's the price for being safer than safe...

re the search engine... well... I did try and using a gallery and the subject... so if I put ALL my chronic illness pictures in the same CATAGORY then they will all come up.... of course better to just send the link to my gallery to friends who are not members (and have no idea what 3d is!)  :)

Lyne

Huh, it's NOT my firewalls!! I did NOT log in, to look at my gallery as a not member...and it just flew around SO FAST!!

This tells me my browser (IE7) with the addtional scripts put in here to make the font larger are having trouble! If I don't log in, then my scripts to make font larger are not in play.... hmmm. maybe there were changes... I am going to take the script out and try it that way, and see if I can still read the font size...maybe since I finally have the FULL version of xp sp 2 all updates and ie7, the fonts are not a problem here any more... will let you know...

well I can't read the font in the gallery unless I leave it the script thingy....

table { font-size: 18px; }

but it does seem to inhibit the site from working fast...so guess I am stuck with the situation... sigh.

OH I am using a flat screen - wide screen LCD monitor running at 1280X960 - and without the thingy in the script the font is soooo TINY I really can't see it...

Lyne

lyne

don't know if IE7 is the same as IE6 but, i'm on IE6 and at the top of the screen i have "view" in there i can scroll down to "text size" and change the font size from there,

i'm at 1280 x 1024,

i've never had the writing too small here i don't think, but at my email the writing was tiny until i found that option yesterday, now it is grown up writing, i think it just needed watering or sumfink! 

Hmmmmmmmm ... I see that Lyne realized,

Huh, it's NOT my firewalls!!

I have noticed that text size is handled differently by Netscape and Internet Exploiter. 

In addition, the renderosity web pages do NOT set text size in a consistent way. 

e.g. In this message thread, viewed in Netscape the messages all have consistent
text sizes ... OTOH, viewed in IE (which I must do because the FCK editor still
doesn't work in Netscape), the text size varies ... a lot!

seems that you have many different issues here
you need to see if software are working with security smoothly
removing firewall can maybe give you more capacity but is it wise?

make sure your antiviruses are not working in the same time you work, are you working do not stay on line.
go on line only for transfer or surfing
or chat
close your modem even look at your network remove cable if you want peace and quiet time.

it demands sometime a little paranoia to be safe and peacefull, and and be opened to go online and communicating
making thoses things in the same time not good for concentration and work on pc or Mac

design or art need queit , peace time, not crasy marketing and communication time as management want it it doesn't fit.

have a nice time, artist rules.

Of course I would never turn off my firewall (both of them..can't with the hardware one anyway) and for goodness sakes, would not turn off my anti-virus...of which I have ONE... running more than one can conflict. Even the windows firewall and pop up blocker will conflict with my suite of anti-virus/firewall and pop up blocker... so I take care of all...

My machine does not slow down if I want to sit and do art... it's just browsing here... the site here does work better with ie7 over 6, since it was re-written... at any rate, I realize it (my browser) does NOT like the font being forced larger here...and so takes time loading and often loads funny... but that's the price of all the site's coding... still this is my favorite place!

Why is that not a good thing?'

I actually like the fact that we can see items that are no longer available. It gives me the opportunity to contact the vendor and inquire about purchasing the product privately via PayPal or via a gift certificate to a store of their choice to the value of the product.

Just because an item is no longer in the store doesn't mean that it's not available at all.  You can usually strike a private deal with the vendor, which is actually to their benefit. They sometimes will lower the price for you, because they no longer have to split the profits for that item with the store.
