When I saw that there was going to be website overhaul I was personally excited. Having seen website updates in Render over the years the changes made have certainly been incremental but the underlying layout/information available and usabilty was the same - consistency was appreciated. So with this revamp I'm thinking not only will they do away with limitations but there will be more features, customization etc etc. So after seeing the 'big' changes in effect here's my take on them:

• Gallery presentation. The way images are presented works great for the likes of tumbler and other sites but for the presention of images for an artist there's something to be said about uniformity and easy on the eye. If someone chooses to post a series of different sized images in a particular sequence it is very hard for the eye to follow this sequence.

• Reduced Image size limitations (biggest grievance). I am truly astonished that someone would actually OK this, especially as someone else aptly put it, how can you sell a product when you can't assess the quality and detail? Personally for me this change does not take into consideration panoramic formats of which majority of my works are. I struggled with the old limitations but these put a further shackle on the quality that I can post.

• Removal of Auto-thumbnail generation. Do you know how much time this saved when it was implimented? I refused to use it initally, but once I did use it, that was time saved where I wasn't having to create another image. Uploaded one image, done.

• Lack of Statistics/Information. Simple imformation like how many posts one has made allows one to maybe prepare something special for a milestone number.

Ultimately alot of the issues I have and many others have is that somethings were fine as they were. Change is good, but would it have been hard to offer it as an option? How about this, offer the changes as a choice befitting the artist: A crowded gallery or a uniform gallery?, More image info or less image info? Etc etc.

I truly hope concerns listened to and in the least allow us a choice?
