Hi Sabby,
Yes, my Browser is maximized.
The site definitely performs better on a windows 7 machine with a landscape monitor. The images are still somewhat large, but tolerable. And I actually like the site like that.
I think there are two differences with me here. First, I think this is because my purchase and regular work machine is XP, and will be for the forseeable future. I did borrow a windows 7 machine that has access to the web and viewed the site on the same Firefox30, and the images are smaller, which is how I reached the conclusion above.
Second, another difference, is that the monitor on the borrowed machine has a slightly more rectangular aspect ratio, with the width greater than the height. The one that I use regulary because it is the largest that fits a furniture cabinet is almost square, even though it is a relatively new monitor.
If you're having the problem with a reduced screen, maybe this second is the more important and it's not the operating system.
I don't know which is the gating factor on the site viewability, but neither condition with me is likely to change unless a host of other sites I visit for regular business purposes also switch and cause problems (PS I Checked RDNA, now open, and they're slightly large to be comfortable, but tolerable).
As such the Renderosity site on my machine is almost unusable and, if one thing good comes from it, this will make it very hard to browse and spend on what is a discretionalry, but addictive, hobby. I've said my piece to Rendo, more probably than I should have. If they want to address it, fine. If not, that's going to be okay, too.
I still have a character to buy from you, as I mentioned before (you made me laugh). I decided to push it into July rather than June 30 just in case things change here and I buy more. Probably later today as rain is likely to keep me inside.
