I come to the Renderosity site (soon to be 'I used to come') for one thing - looking in the marketplace and the freestuff either to see what's new or to look for something specific I need. I do it on a laptop, not a phone. I don't 'do' social media, 'follow' or 'like' things. I don't come for the galleries or the forums or for 'feeds'. Nothing in this respect has changed for me since i first started coming here daily in 2004. I am simply concerned with the marketplace and freestuff, being able to quickly look through new stuff, and search for particular products. I don't care what you do with the rest of the site.

The new marketplace is appalling. I can see only One row of THREE new items at a time on screen, which means endless scrolling. Every other Poser/DS site I can see at least 6, usually 8, on one as many as 12 items at a time. Here only 3. I'm disabled, using the computer causes mounting pain, and seeing new marketplace items, freestuff items and search results only THREE at a time, with much extra scrolling means more time, more movement to scroll and much more pain as a result.

This happened with the last site design, and I said the same thing, and that I would not be buying any more unless/until there was a change that allowed seeing more products at a time when using a computer rather than a phone. And that's what happened: I stopped buying anything, only visiting occasionally to see if there had been a change. Evenetually, after a couple of months, things were changed so product thumbs would resize and restored the ability to see at least a couple of lines of four items each at a time in the not-quite-fullscreen browser window size I use and I became a customer again.

Here we go again. through the same thing again.

As of now I have stopped being a customer again. i will check in to the market place occasionally to see if I can see a reasonable number of products at once in my browser window. If things have changed so I can, I will return as a customer. If not I won't. As computer use like typing costs me even more pain than last time, I will not keep posting nagging posts about it like I did last time. Restore a reasonable marketplace view of a minimum of 6 products per window in my browser, or not. get me back as a customer, or not. As of now, I am no longer a customer, after 11 years of purchasing here.
