Razor42/Designanvil: Just be glad you didn't get here earlier. The way it is now is a breath of fresh air compared to when they first brought the new design out in late July. I hope you won't pull your store products just yet, because I still want to buy the Genesis Bikini and gemstone shader products. <:(
I'm really scratching my head with this one Rendo, I can see how vendors might love the new giant thumbnails but as a customer the marketplace in now practicly unusable for me. I really dont understand how this could be done so wrong. Im not even going to dig for a positive, as digging is what it would take.
The only positive is that you can now see what products you've purchased, and the bigger thumbnails are easier for people with vision problems (but on the flipside, unpleasant for those with painful conditions of the hand, which goes to show that Rendo needs to figure out some way to make CSS sheets to accomadate both disabilities). RDNA still has some serious bugs, too, but their redesign is far better provided your monitor isn't smaller than 800 x 1200 like mine is-- and IMO their bugs are more serious (unless it's been fixed in the past week and a half, gift cards and purchase history/ability to re-DL products unless you kept the receipt is currently unavailable). Also, I doubt that all vendors are happy about the bigger thumbnails because they're being required to submit bigger thumbnails, which means rendering thumbnail promos for their products all-over again. Plenty of them still haven't gotten to it even now, and some (esp. the ones that haven't been around in forever and never have their products on sale) never will.
Obvious question 3 - why don't you put that statement directly under the search bar on the Marketplace page, where everybody using the marketplace will see it?
Agreed. You really need to put some detailed instructions somewhere where people will find it-- preferrably in the FAQ.
What has happened to me, which is I have lost complete interest in ever shopping here again, I believe will happen to many other people.
I used to be in the same boat with you, John, but with the stuff Rendo has cleaned up their act on (the font color, assuring is that they'll use a testing site of some sort-- though hopefully it will either be on a separate server or at least something people can opt in and out of as they please-- not something like DAZ's Platinum + where once you sign up you're stuck with it) SO I'm willing to go back to my regular shopping habits here again, even though shopping is a bigger pain in the ass than it used to be, and I'll never be bundle shopping due to the flash slidescroll collections that prevent me from seeing all products in that bundle at once. However, I'm not sure how much shopping I'll do this month as I don't find the "daily deal freebie" thing to be worth it unless I see a vendor that never puts their products on sale otherwise, such as Mairy/3Dream, or if it's a vendor whose items are already 30% off so I don't have to buy one at full price.
There is currently No way to sort between dynamic, conforming or second skin clothing, I am not a poser user but I tried the poser section in the software and could not find it there either
There isn't? Bummer. Though a tip until that happens, Tipol, Sshodan, and Arki are vendors of ONLY dynamic clothing, and Spiritfoxy is a texture maker who mostly makes textures for either V4 characters or for Arki's products (she's one of my favorite texture makers however, along with RenaPD and Anagord. Yeah, I like the shiny shiny textures.) though I believe she also sells a texture set for the druid staff that I plan to snatch up as soon as it's 45 or 50% off, regardless of wherher or not there are DAZ material files for it. Tipol and Sshodan alone make up for the majority of dynamic clothing products on Renderosity.
