Quote - Nothing is brighter, its actually all been tone down this afternoon...
Yes, the background is brighter. It went from a much darker neutral blue to this ugly and brighter medium gray color.
While the side panels look better, the banner at the top does not appear to have been toned down at all (if it has the color shift is so minor as to be nearly imperceptable on this monitor).
The New HD Toaster from Wamco toasts bread more evenly and acurately than Standard Toasters. Take advantage of the FULL resolution of your bread and try one today, because if your toast isn't in High Definition, you are not getting the most of your toast!
Personally I'm much more annoyed by all the still-broken formatting, like the Related Products section at the bottom of the product pages, and the whole My Account Item List, neither of which adapt to the user's browser window width.
I still find it impossible to imagine what kind of process led to this site change happening as it did. Was there absolutely no testing, even to see the obviously broken things I saw on the first page of the new site I loaded within the first few seconds? Or was it tested, many of the broken items seen, but then just a shrug and 'oh we'll release it with all this obviously broken design and coding anyway'? I don't even know which of those is worse and gives a worse impression of the company. Either is incompetence and a callous disregard of cusromers and merchants.
Quote - Ok, so now the background of the whole page is a medium gray, and the headers and side panels are still very bright and it looks even worse...
Honestly, making everything on the bage a shade brighter is not a fix. Do they still teach color theory as part of commercial arts and design anymore?
I just got a newsletter from the site today, and it looked MUCH better than the website itself does.

I dunno if it's even possible to adapt to a widescreen monitor. :unsure:

I really, really don't like this drab grey color. It's literally making me feel sick to my stomach. I don't mean to be a jerk about it; I haven't said anything until now, but when I checked the site today and saw all this grey and black and yellow, I couldn't hold back anymore... I just don't think that it's attractive at all, especially for an art site.
I am wondering am I coming to and logging into Rendo or Daz? If not for the title and what not I thought I was at their site. Where Rendo now has White top and bottom with grey middle, theirs is grey top and bottom with white in the middle..
All I can say is all that made Rendorosity special and stand out from the other online content stores is now dead and buried.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but can you please fix the tiny text entry boxes? They are incredibly frustrating to use for those of us who try to give meaningful commentary to the artists who support this site and they are a total nightmare for those of us telling stories or uploading poems. I promise that I will shut up if you fix this issue!
I do sincerely appreciate the fixes you have made in response to user critiques but there has been no mention of any concern from management about the text entry problems.
I have to say this all turned out better than I thought it would. I still like the soft blue color of 2 incarnations past, but this grey here is much better than the last version was by far.
I was downloading some items from my account page, and the white background there on the item list is a very blinding white. Really hurts the eyes. Could you put that on a list of things to tone down for the future?
I switched from IE8 to Chrome - as suggested. Everything lines up and text no longer extends into neighbouring boxes.
The sad thing with Chrome is Readme files. In Chrome it is not possible to open a text file. I can't live without the Eeadme files. I have to constantly switch back and forth between IE and Chrome. This is not a productive way to shop.
Any suggestions? Can FF open text files? I never used this Browser. Which version would work best for the state Renderosity is in?
Chrome opens text files without a problem here. Any browser should be able to do it.

This is very strange. In Chrome one can only Save a text file and not view it. Even Chrome admits that it is not possible andthat they are working on it.I have researched the problem and at the moment there is no solution to it. You wil find post after post dealing with this problem. There is no plug-in available either.
Since I downloaded the latest version of Chrome I don't see how it is possible for you to see a text file without downloading it. There is only this one possibility available when you click on a Readme file. At the moment only pdf is supported (according to Chrome).
I don't know what to say...
I put op a readme.txt file on my own site. Chrome displays it just fine. My chrome is up-2-date according to the helpscreen (version 25.0.1364.152 m)

Quote - You should be able to download and open in one step, at least you can with Firefox - after all you have to download it to view it in IE, too.
In IE I click on it and it opens. I don't have to download anything. It is instant.
I don't want to download a Readme file. What would be the purpose. I am interested in a product and would like to quickly look at the Readme. With IE it was quick and simple.
Allright, I did some digging. I clicked on a readme file of one of the products. Chrome indeed downloads the file instead of directly opening it. So does Firefox So I dug a little deeper.
It seems renderosity doesn't serve it's mime-types correctly. Mime-types tell the browser what type of file it is. When serving the readme.txt file the header tells the browser its:
Content-Type:·application/octet-stream
By default a browser doesn't show the contents of that because it's not text (or html). At least according to that header. What it should be is:
Content-Type:·text/plain
That tells the browser it's just plain text which can be displayed accordingly. Rendo needs to modify the download script so it serves the right mime-type. I suspect the current script just serves every dowload with the same header.
IE is a bit odd in this as it does display the text, but it shouldn't do that. So it's more like a bug in IE that it does.
On a side note. It appears Rendo is running apache 2.0.52. That's very old (over 8 years). That need to be upgraded ASAP because it has plenty of vulnerabilities.

Yes in FF, you can opt to just view it rather than download & save it. ;)

Thank you again Sabby. I am not happy with Chrome and I will try FF. Do the pages display correctly in FF? Otherwise I just go back to IE.
Hi 3DGuy,
Thank you for everything you have done. Chrome says in their Forums that the problem is on their side and they have to make the changes. I have no deep knowledge of the protocols, headers, etc. I just read the Forums and see what the users and Chrome have to say.
I will give FF a try. From what I have read it is a more advanced Browser and has a larger user base.
What I discovered yesterday is that after the download one can view the text file in the Browser by clicking on Download. It is still necessary to go to the Directory and do a manual clean-up of the garbage collected.
Can we PLEASE fix the comment box for the Gallery?
and no, giving me the potentially functional option to make the box wider is NOT the solution. That is NOT my job in the first place, and in the second, it does NOT resolve the issue that the text box is too tall to begin with.
This whole experiment seems very amatureish! Surely that's not the message Renderosity wants to convey!

Andy!
O.k> I get the impression the site is a work in progress.
but like many things in the digital world lately, I must ask;
why was the change NECESSARY?
The old site worked quite well.
Searches reveal long text lists; I assume that's going to go back to thumbnails of the products. Who has time to search lists? NOT ME.
(Here's a clue for you; I hate Windows 8 !!!! Win 7 ran beautifully...but NOOO,
those egotistical boneheads had to go and TINKER. "Look what WE did!")
This is a commercial website. could you not do your testing elsewhere?
This is my impression and don't take it personally...but I've just given up searching fo r product I wanted.
M
this is just SAD.... seems they don't care one whit about the majority of their users...only about "money" and while the old site had up to 3000+ visitors, this site is now so darn SLOW the minute it hits 2000....and I would bet money (!) that there are much fewer sales now... I am saving a ton of money monthly now!! I used to spend at least $100...more times up to $200+ ... now it's ONLY if something comes along I 'have' to have... so maybe spending $25 a month if that...
I hope the suits that seem to only want to "save face" and refuse to "go back" to the beautiful, pleasureable look are enjoying their "increased" (ya right) sales!
It's so sad that the dedicated family of FRIENDS who called this home have to put up with this crap. Pages turn white on me, forum postings stretch wide under the side sales vertical boxes... and the place just looks UGLY.
What a waste.

Almost better, guys. Now, another nit I need to pick: Where it says "Daily Deals", that orange lettering is barely readable against that background (and a bit painful). Let's try a different color instead. Also, could you tell me why this is not backwards compatible with previous browser versions? AOL's internal browser is based on an older version of IE.
