I've got to say, change for change's sake is not always good. And this series of changes essentially amounts to fixing things that weren't broke and accidentally breaking them in the process. Sorry guys, but this site re-design is the "New Coke" formula of user-supported computer art websites. My recommendation as a former business owner is to restore all the lost functionality, not worry about your site not looking like a phone app (who makes Poser and Daz art on their smart phones???), and listen to the majority of your customer base while you still have one. Not meaning to be harsh here, but the psychology of human group think tends to circle the wagons around organizational mistakes and seeks to rationalize and defend them, instead of correct them while there is still time to do so. If the site needs increased market share, come up with a new desirable product line to sell instead of re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I don't think I'm telling you anything now that your balance and P&L sheets aren't going to tell you later. I tell you this not as some griper and chronic complainer, but as a customer who has spent literally thousands of dollars here for over a decade.
