Thank you for replying Kimberly,
I know ad blockers can take out the banner ads... so I could do that... but the promoted items are another story. I wish it were a lot more like eBay, where the paid to be promoted products only appear at the top of a search query that is actually related. While I'm not looking for anything right now (found what I was after at DAZ), lets say I do a search for walls or a fortress. The very sexualised images of what was getting put before what I was actually searching for (poses or possibly underwear items for V4 or later), wouldn't have been the most fun thing to explain to my wife... even though I wasn't searching for anything even remotely related.
As for screen real-estate, with my comments of loosing one third of the screen, I don't browse fullscreen. So it isn't an exaggeration, the side bar full of images promoting other non-related items is literally taking up at least one third of my screen.
Anyway, that's enough of my complaint I guess. I really preferred how the site use to be, and really hope even if it doesn't get reverted back... the site will at least become a bit more user friendly again since it is a shame to not see Renderosity as my preferred market after the years of shopping here. In Renderosity's defence, search results are still more accurate than RuntimeDNA's... provided I ignore and scroll pass all the promoted results that shouldn't even be there IMO.
Anyway, thanks for reading through my issue with the current site design.
