It takes 45 seconds to open the Poser forum now. Refreshing the page is the only way I learn when somebody has said something new because the ebots don't work and have not worked for more than six months.

Clicking the "Last" button on a thread was the next step to see what was added, and that no longer works, either. The Poser 11 sneak peak "Last" page goes to 11 (heheh) but there are 18 pages as I'm writing this. I was coming in to add another image to that thread but I think not.

Bye Felicia. Seriously - bye. I'm not wanted here. After the last rewrite of the site I wrote many threads explaining what problems they created.

The most serious were the lack of ebots, unable to search, and having to wait six seconds to load this forum. Of those three, the search got fixed by opening to Google (good) but the ebots are still broken and now it's 45 seconds to load this forum.

Oh - and have you tried the full screen edit - completely white - can't read anything you're responding to. Brilliant -
I've barely used Rendo since the last update. After this one I can't imagine subjecting myself to this infuriating situation by participating for anything like the level I am used to. I already was down to lurking most of the time. Now I'll probably not even lurk very much.

best dig out my password for t'other place ~ been reading your views on cycles in poser

I haven't noticed slow loading, but I don’t see any way to quote a post.

An apostrophe shows as a Question Mark in Preview; we'll see how it shows up in a post. Edit; interesting; some show each way!

I had to reupload my avatar at 200x200, too, as it was a tiny square in a circle.....

The @ sign (mention) is now the quote. And we now all have a number, just like the prison system. LMAO. Unfortunately, the only thing that shows up when you quote someone is a link to the post being quoted in a link with the @ sign and our pris...member number ;).

In my opinion this is the worst upgrade ever, usually I'm not disturbed easily, but now I'm really upset : where is the member tab? how can I find my freebies? where is my account? Where is the forum button? This afternoon I tried to find a special vendor and instead of a nice and clear pull-down list with all the names in alphabetical order, I was faced with a page full of mugshots I had to scroll through.

Bah!

Bopper.

Under your avatar in the upper right hand corner you'll find a dropdown list of your gallery and freestuff if you click on it as well as all your forum settings and stuff.

Laurie

I am going to give it 30 days.

If I am still as pissed as I am right now (Can you tell I am a member of Prime?), then I'll dump my 100+ items in my wish list and move on to other storefronts. It isn't like there is much in the way of "Must Have" here. And when I dump those wish list items, I'll send a note to the vendors letting them know why they can look forward to not getting my money anymore. This is a hobby, it is supposed to be fun. These idiots are sucking all of the fun out of spending time here.

If enough of us hit management in the wallet, maybe they will get the message.

I had found it allready, but thanks for pointing it out. I am mainly upset because they tossed over the complete layout of the site without any notice. They should supply a manual for every user how to navigate through to the site again.

Regards,

Bopper.

I really hate the fat three lines above this web page (as highlighted in the screen shot). I understand the importance of the upper one. But the symbols at the right corner waste too much space (like that nonsense new Adobe Acrobat Reader), The middle line is a total waste of space with just four buttons. And did anyone ever used the button 'Mark All Read'. I mean I get it that it is supposed for people with memory issues. But they probably forget to use it - so what's the point? Third line: five buttons at the left - nothing else. This is a showcase of the web designer's vanity and reduces display of the comments of the forum users. On my 1280x1024 display monitor (125% font size) I get just the first comment...

Oh and the line at the bottom: really why do we have to get these Facebook, Twitter etc. buttons EVERYWHERE? We know how to find Rendo elsewhere. We're here because we don't want to be at Facebook and co. right now. Get rid of these space wasting graphic display of obesity or do it much much smaller!
PLEASE.

@4220259

Let me see if works, Inmate Laurie...

Edit; That's a quote???? This TRULY BLOWS!! :

Tell me about it!...inmate WandW. LOLOL

Now we just need to memorize everyone's member number and we'll know who quoted us, but not about what - unless we click on the link ;).

Quoting another forumite seems to be a normal thing on other forums....why does it have to be such a clusterf*** here?

Laurie

Fix it until it's broke. Been doing that the 5 years I have been hanging out in here. I am not an old time like some people here, but the changes here affect me more than most because I will spend upwards of 3 to 4 months without ever getting on here. And every time I do, it looks different.
And now it's broke. I think I will follow Ted and just leave.

Well, I was an old time member, joined in 2003, but with this latest downward lurch, I'm done. As of a few hours ago I'm no longer a vendor here and probably won't stick around much as a visitor. Enough is enough.

It's like that microscopic sized scroll bar in Poser's library... annoying... right OP?

Only, we know this site will be updated to work again shortly... unlike that scroll bar

hmm.. editing this post took no time at all.

@obm890: where are you leaving for? I would like to remain in contact with you.

P.S.: the last one please turn off the lights.

It's gone from minor parts being suckage, to the whole thing being major suckage. But, in all the time I've used this site, fubar seems to be their mode of operation. If it works, it's gotta be changed, Gonna drop it for a few months,

OH, I do hope this starts a trend. I have money to spend but I have gone from being pleased to spending it here to hating spending anything. I have stayed this long because there are vendors here that I have been buying from for ages. If they go I have no reason to stay here and will happily follow.

you quote 'em by "copy-n-paste", preceded by blockquote char which I can't type but which is "less than" char
may need to enable services cookie in order for various funcs (e.g. markdown) to work

reminds me of the old days on 56k dial up,
don't think much of the new look site, hope the glitch's
will be sorted VERY soon

I hate to leave, especially right now. I am in the middle of a couple projects going on here. I will give it a couple days for things to calm down, but then I am going to have to check out other options.

Poser options.

Due to the new anti sweary rules, I am forced to say "Blinking flipping flip!" to the general state of the place, the lack of user friendliness and the loss of so many good people.

:(

Go to the Commons Forum and launch a complaint there. Some one might pay attention there. Actually do something about this mess.....that I don't know. Have any of you looked at what mess was made of the galleries?

Please be patient. We are working on the issues and are doing what we can to make this site more user friendly! Ever site that has issues doing a revamp goes thru various problems and it takes time to iron them all out. Things will get better!

Well, the gallery is a complete disaster. View an image and going back to the gallery places you exactly the beginning again. It appears so dieorganized.

Yes, we know the gallery is in need of fixing and I was informed that they are working on the issues.
Thank you so much for your patience.

Patience my ass.

In all honesty digitell, when was the last time you gals fixed something and made it better?

I have been here a decade and I can't think of one.

My only real complaint is that you KEEP CHANGING THINGS. Why mess with something that is working? Why bother to change it if things are going smooth? What is the incentive? Is it a money thing? I really want to understand why this keeps happening. The search engine on here has been broken for I don't know how long. Instead of instituting all these changes, why not just fix that?

Please do not get ugly ssgbryan. Comments like that will not help things. Negativity is never good and wont help.
Please try to be patient. Thank you so much! :)

Hmm, weird. Thought the site had been hacked or something, kept getting big warnings from Chrome every time I came near the site. Entropy as usual, first my account is mysteriously deleted with no explaination and "we don't know what happened" and now another bizarre change. Like the members # touch though, also is this supposed to look better to a phone/tablet user? Don't like the weird giant bar across the top that's hanging over like a guillotine... Guillotines and index #'s... now I get it. :D
Meh, whatever.

I left because of all the fighting.
I came back because of a project that got my attention.

Now, I am lost.

Click on the "Poser Freestuff" link here above.

You get flooded with Gen 3 stuff.

WHO THE HELL CARES?????

This is the POSER forum, and I expect the POSER FREESTUFF link to go to the POSER FREESTUFF

Just like the DAZ users expect the DAZ freestuff link to got o the DAZ compatible freestuff.

WHAT do I care for Gen 3 stuff??? The DAZ/DS boys need Gen 3 freestuff.

RESTORE : RESTORE the SITE to December 2012. That was the LAST time it worked properly.

And YES : TONS of moderators before you told us to stand by, wait, we are working on it.

Yep, just waiting what you are gonna break tomorrow. Is there anything left that works? Please be my guest ; Go for it!

Hey vilters, been seeing ya over at rdna.
How the hell do you format text in this now? Like italics n such, on a mobile device.

Please be patient. We are working on the issues and are doing what we can to make this site more user friendly! Ever site that has issues doing a revamp goes thru various problems and it takes time to iron them all out. Things will get better! - Digitell

It does get frustrating being told to be patient and don't be negative. When there were still numerous outstanding issues with the last web site build that were NEVER fixed. The standing line became "We have passed this on to the programmers and they are working on it." Sound familiar? I also agree more and more lately moderators/coordinators have taken to speaking to people like 10 year old children and it's wearing a little thin.

Daz boys

I'm not even going to touch that one....

Your site is busted. Gave it the benefit of the doubt but... busted.

major eggage suckage

Personally I didn't think the forums could get any worse. I was wrong.

@4220618 The forum has been a pig's breakfast for months and every change you make seems to make things worse. It's time to get real, move whoever's responsible to lighter duties, and bring in a professional to sort the mess out.

You're obviously in a hole. Stop digging.

@4220815

At least now this forum accepts The Most Important Thing(TM) a forum software absolute must accept - emojis. Like , and without which Poser forum members simply cannot survive. Features such as searching and a sane quoting system are not so important apparently.

Hmmm
it seems I no longer have the option of manually quoting users with my trademark orange bold text.

oh well

Yea, but just look at all these great smiley faces we got!

sigh yep

Ya can if ya can do it in markdown language. More code to learn. YAY!

I'll tell ya a secret. Right now I'm actually pining for the old black and kelly green interface of the old OLD Rendo. No kiddin.

Laurie

Search filtering, useless. Quoting, I see is something of the past. Anything logical seems to be against the site policy. SNAFU and FUBAR seem to be the order of the day, or year, maybe the century. Change every few months is never for the better, change for the sake of change usually means FUBAR it worse.
Yes, an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters would eventually compile all the great works of literature, but it's hardly the way to go about a website. The way it's going, the smell of a well aged honey wagon load would be easier to take. And serve a useful purpose.
But I guess "Post" is too complicated for most people, "Add Comment" is better, but only to those without the capability of actually reading. Right now, this site is major suckage, and with rosity's rep for "fixing" things, abandon hope, there isn't any.

Let's sing a happy nonsense song
And think of silly things
Of how some fish have fingers
And why no pigs have wings.

(just keeping myself amused till it's all sorted out ...)

Been here since 1999 I think. The forums are not much fun anymore, this new site design is truly awful and the store hasn't had much to interest me in a long long time.

I'm done and leaving

Been fun and a part of my life, not putting up with it anymore, revert the site to a usable state (agree 2012 was last time it was good to use) and I might come back, otherwise me and my wallet are going elsewhere, I won't miss what i don't check in to look at.

oh additional, why is a huge chunk of my browser window taken up with massive thick menu bars, it's like I install Ask toolbar or some other Malware....

We are looking into all these issues.
