I'm not a vendor, so I don't know the processes, but why couldn't the admin have the vendors go back categories their existing products? There's no program filter in the freestuff section but when they redid everything, some of my stuff was wrong and I was able to fix it.

Vendors are not going to do that. They're not employees and good luck trying to force to to update old products descriptions. Doing that will not affect their bottom line, not when customers can already search for their products. They're making new products and that's really what the store wants. Even if Rendo attempts to make a filter, it is a monumental task to do data entry on a store catalog this large. When DAZ was creating metadata for all their products, I know they had to hire a bunch of temp workers to do it, and it still took months.. and the amount of products they have is smaller than it is here. If the staff is anything like at DAZ, it's a small staff wearing multiple hats; it would be impossible to have them devote time to do these edits and still manage the store. And you would have to have data entry programs and conversions scripts in place before you even start. You'd be lucky to have something in place by next year. The most feasible solution that would be done the quickest would be to enourage vendors to have more the descriptions clear in product names or the main promo thumbnail for new products, which it looks like is being done now.
