After he ****** up the forums, tonight It became impossible to read half what is in the free stuff.

Who has the "restore to december 2012" button?

This is getting out of control.

A W.I.P?

A W.I.P. to what? Chase us all away?

Please continue, and it will happen sooner then you think possible.

Oh, and you can keep that header and take it with you. We do not need it.

And while at it, throw the footer out the back door too.

This used to be a good site, around december last year.

You have problems with my colors?

Well, I can not see yours eiter.

Half the time what is in the text box is hidden by your GREY adds anyhow.

i am running out of colors here.

Like it soo far?

Well, i do not.

Every improvement is a change.

NOT

Every change is an improvement.

Thank for not reading.
If able at all.

LOL?
Yes, around december 2012.

Have a good day.

:lol: 

FWIW, I just took a look at my Freestuff and I rather like the way it looks

The problems with the site lately have been annoying at best, intolerable at worst. I understand where you are coming from vilters...I still can't get the site to do what I want. Search is broken for me....what a pain in the rear end.

Laurie

Freestuff WTF??????? Do these guys not listen to us? I think a bunch of us have complained about the header and footer of each page being too large and too bright white. And now its in the free stuff section as well. And the marketplace is now so hard to navigate to find anything!!!!!

It looks about the same at it always has; this with Firefox 21.

However, I do have  'renderosity.com/art/*' blocked in AdBlock Plus...

Oh - wait. So it's not me and my calcified brain, then. I thought the freebies were drying up or something.

So who is the UX guy running this circus nowadays, and how quickly can we get a hitman out there?

Quote - Search is broken for me....what a pain in the rear end.

Wait - search worked at one time? When did that happen?

(damn, I have been away.)

you guys might want to update your browser...no probs here on latest IE.

Well, seems they optimized the site for IE...fine and dandy if most of us USED IE. I wouldn't touch it with someone elses 10 foot pole. LOL. It worked in FF for me before (of which I have the latest).

Laurie

Freestuff looks ok. sure the first page is headers but that why we has a scroll button.

Chrome on OSX 10.8.4 here, version 27.0.1453.110.

Looks all right for me using Chrome with latest update.  Marketplace and freebies section all showing fine and loading easy.

Thanks for the humorous way you made your feelings known Vitters!

I see the "Browse" bar text as a faint grey against lighter grey- I can see it-but it looks like "greyed out" text. Not the most visible of choices!

Firefox 21 here, too. Haven't touched IE in years.

It's very annoying that I have to constantly switch size settings between the forums and the market place/freestuff site.

It worked perfectly last year. :-(

Hey, I second the hitman idea! Guy doesn't look at feedback at all. Can't stand the header and footers, must scroll down quickly because the header is soooo bright it hurts my eyes.

Ithink you guys are all being really rude, cut Rendo some slack. Perhaps they have outsourced the web design to one of those foreign lands where IT skills are cheap and the new webmaster doesn't speak any English at all.  :-P

I'm on FF and not having any troubles. Perhaps it's one of your browser addons that is messing with stuff. I have seen that happen before. The search works. (of course the site search works for me too) I can read it. I don't have half of the problems you guys seem to have. The only reason I can think of is I have a very small number of addons running.

Quote - Do these guys not listen to us? I think a bunch of us have complained about the header and footer of each page being too large and too bright white.

I think we're lucky, things could be much worse. You know that Renderosity logo at the top left? It displays about 290x70 pixels, but it's actually a 3392x788 png! Maybe there are plans to make the headers bigger, just in case we miss them.

Yeah, and then some wonder why a site loads so slow.

This is not an upgrade but a downgrade.

It shows too;

• Less treads
• Less posts
• Less free stuff

Some have already left, and can be found active in other forums.

No, no... I've worked with UI guys at places like Infosys before - they actually do better work.

(By the by, this is the first time I've actually had to zoom out of a website to make it legible. Damn.)

Windows 93,95,2000 ?,me,xp,Vista,7,8.
Mac's OS's etc etc etc etc
Browsers Fox versions etc etc,Chrome versions etc etc.
IE 4,5,6,7,8,9,10os,10m,
IE10t.For PC's ,tablets ,phones etc etc etc.

Can you all make a web site that works with all of that old tech & new tech ?
The site works fine for me n Windows 8.

Ach, the webmaster is probably an under age Vietnamese kid, working in a Indian cellar, on a Japanese PC, with Chinese hacked software, doing this white job (looking at the font color) in black (looking at the large empty BLACK square above).

LOL

Standard XP with IE here, and it is ******

Countries choosen at random and no annimals where killed in the process LOL.

Right, so show of hands...how many of YOU have the latest, greatest computer, use IE, and whatever else the site LIKES and nothing else it doesn't?

Yeah, I bet we get lots of people that use everything the site likes ;). Sorry, but when you run a website you have to take into account old and new...just the way it is. Not everyone is running the SAME OS on the SAME kind of machine with the SAME browser.

Laurie

FWIW, I'm using a browser based on IE atm (Maxthon) and I STILL get NO forum posts in site search results. Nada, none, zip, zero....I can't find anything. It's annoying as hell cause I haven't been able to search the forums since they changed the layout.

Laurie

XP used IE version around 6 ? I would guess that's the probleam.

I like modeling in C4D best.

I have Basic C4D 9 released in the XP days there's no surprice 9's not all that great on windows 8.
There at version C4D prime 14 now.
I'm 5 versions behind.

Pirates code. those that can't keep up get left behind.

LaurieA : all you need is a better browser.there free.

You may be right vilters. I have a win7 laptop and I'm running Firefox. The search function works fairly well (the marketplace however is an absolute nightmare when it comes to browsing for products). Even the forum is fine for viewing with the major exception of the extra large header and footer sections on each page. I cannot say enough that the bright white color literally hurts my eyes and I have to scroll quickly downward when I go from page to page either in the forum or in the gallery to avoid the white glare. How hard is it to get those headers and footers made SMALLER and maybe a darker color??????? I don't want to leave this site, I like it here and I've been coming here for my Poser fix since 1998.

Which version of MX are you using ?

I've been using MX3 since the early betas and in ultra mode the site changes aren't giving me any problems, mind you the site didn't give me any problems before the changes either. In retro mode it's a different story as it's then based on either IE 6 or 7, instead of the webkit you get in ultra mode.

I'm using the latest one 4.xx...and it's in ultra mode. I get Freestuff, Blogs, MP, Tutorials, Articles, Newsletters....and no forum results. At all. And I searched for something I know that would come up - bagginsbill. LOL.

HTML is HTML. The days of the blink tag are (thankfully) dead. 

Only three browsers are needed to aim for: FF, IE, Safari. Here's why...

• Safari and Chrome both use Webkit, so if it renders well on one, it'll 99% likely render well on the other.

• The deays of 'OMG lookit all those version numbers!' is dying and/or dead. Only IE is still sticking with the discreet version upgrade paradigm these days. Everyone else gets latest/greatest version automatically unless they specifically choose (and set the system) not to.

• mobile sites should be designed differently and parked on (ferinstance) m.renderosity.com - mobile formats are smaller, require bigger buttons (for the touchscreen) and need to account for both landscape and portrait modes. So yeah, by necessity the UX is gonna be different.

• Nobody uses Opera anymore - screw 'em.

{...} Windows 8.

Blecch. I'd rather masturbate with a fistful of broken glass than willingly use Windows 8.

I don't mind HTML5 and all that, or whatever innovation comes along, but I have browsers that can handle all of those and still I do not get forum search results. It's as if they removed it completely for me. Haven't been able to get any forum search results for months. Right now I'm using a browser that does webkit and I'm still not getting a damn thing.

Laurie

Is there a problem with the site? Seems Ok to me.

You must be the webmaster, and the only one without problems. LOL.

Looks fine to me too - FF 21.0

I rather like the way my freestuff is layed out

I'm not having any trouble. On FF with win 7.  It works Ok with Chrome and IE too. Are you guys sure you didn't tweak some setting on your end?

Nope, tried regular Opera with no addons and no extensions. I get nothing. Maybe the powers that be at Rendo should give us a clue as to their "site-approved browser list"?

Ahem.

IE 10 desktop version works for me

NOW I'm getting MySQL errors facepalm

Laurie

I dunno what to tell you RorrKonn. It is NOT and has NOT been working for me. For months.

Laurie

Well, luckily for me, I'm not getting that error right now. I do have to ask though--yesterday, at least for me Rendo was off line. There was just this screen saying Rendo was off line for maintenance and a link to a youtube video about cats to view while I waited. Did that happen for anyone else?

Ah there's chrome,firefox.

If it would matter ,maybe we all have diffrent firewalls & settings.

Don't know if it matters but I have cable internet.

There has to be a reason why it works for one n not the other.

I have cable internet and I've tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Maxthon (IE based). None of them get forum search results ;)

Laurie

I'm getting results on anything I search for. What are you looking for that doesn't show, Laurie?

NO LOL.

LaurieA: renderosity search ya half to spell just right.I can't spell at all.

Vilters: I feel ya pain.what browser n version is the .jpg ?
