Just an update and the upload art page is still incomplete when I call it up. I've tried three different browsers, reset my password, reset my modem and updated my security software. I don't know what other settings in my computer or browsers I can check that would fix this. To me it looks like a site error, because the page loads up as if complete but it's missing, You can refer to the earlier post with the screen shot.

Judging from what I've read from other posts, it seems a host of things have been glitched and some fixed. The last time I submitted art it was not that long ago and I have not done anything different with my computer until now trying to "fix" something I didn't break.

I've reset my Rendo password, installed Firefox and rebooted my modem. And I'm still getting the same results as the screenshot I sent. If there is a place in my computer I can check settings that might cause this, I'm open to suggestions. Otherwise there's something else going on either with Rendo or my cable provider Xfinity.

I tried uploading from a separate computer in the house and came to the same incomplete page. You mean reset my Renderosity password? I'll try resetting the modem.

Still not working, besides why or how would a restriction only load part of the page? Nothing personal but every time something like this happens it's been on Renderosity's end. There's no settings I've changed or would change in my computer or the the home network. Unless there is something up with Xfinity/Comcast.

When I scroll to the bottom of the load page it looks like this. I don't know what else to tell you, because it is still not working for me. If you have any other suggestions on what I can try on my end I'm open. But I've checked this through two other browsers and have the same results. I can try updates to my computer next, maybe that will yield something.

Still not working. Cleared cache/history in Chrome, Tried Micosoft Edge Browser, same thing. The page loads like it's complete, but the bottom sections are not there.

Tremendous thanks! And the other images here are really top notch.

Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it. AD

So I contacted paypal and they said they gave instructions on how to do the refund or that you have to contact them directly so a refund can be authorized. This was through a phone conversation. So that's what I've been told. Sorry, thanks. AD

You write "they are holding one of the payments" does "they" mean Paypal? Thanks.

When uploading an image, in the description it says 25000 characters max. This is not true as when I went over that I got a "Faliure to post, description exceeds limit of 4096". Just like it used too. I can deal with that, but the number used to change and tell you how many characters were in your description, now it does nothing. Also, I think I saw in an earlier post on this thread that ebots are working? Is that true? Are we supposed to get notifications in our email that a "Favorite Artist" has posted an image, or are the ebots just Renderosity notifications? I have "Live Notifications" turned on, but I'm not even sure what that means anymore. The only ebots I get are Renderosity marketplace ads. With the "Activity Feed" as the de facto way to see your favorite artists, I'm not even sure I'm seeing everyone anymore without tracking down each artist to see if I'm still "Following" them. And to add to that, there are no "Friends" list anymore.

Also, when I view my own gallery and sort it, Newest to oldest, some images are mixed up and out of order. Besides that, with the new format for "My Gallery", I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be looking left to right, following a path left to right to right to left or up or down. It seems a bit cluttered.

Finally I'll complain about something that will likely not be changed and that is the amount of ads I am forced to look at, despite paying a Prime Membership to be here. I pay at other sites and do not have to look at ads. That is obnoxious as paying for cable and internet and Comcast forcing me to re-watch ads even when I restart a paused show. And speaking of Prime has there been any statements about the change in the cost of Prime Products? When I last paid for Prime, I paid for items @ $3.50. Is or was there something in the TOS that says pricing can change without notification or refund?

I'd say the image of a massive locomotive to announce "Big Changes" is quite appropriate: "That's right! Changes are coming and they can't be stopped! Just like a runaway train. You'll never see it coming!"

All that said, I do appreciate the lifting of size limitations and am willing to see how the changes go. I would add that before DAZ revamped their site, they had a beta site up for quite a while that allowed people to visit the site, experience the changes and offer suggestion, comments and alert programmers to bugs before committing to the new format. That's a lesson I think should be considered before making "Big Changes" again. I've seen the ranters around here and am really surprised that the Admins here did not take a more conservative approach to the change. It's not like this is like a radio station where the format can change overnight.

That's my two cents and change. BTW I've been using Chrome lately for browsing and if I'm not mistaken that is the favored browser by admins here. So all bugs I've seen are under that tent.

It took a while but the Avatar changed and I see Activity Feed is where to see who's posted what. I just can't tell if the activity feed is accurate for all who I follow or if people are just not posting much anymore. I do like the new gallery's less restrictions. Larger sizes and plenty of room to add a description or story chapter. Admins here are listening. It is what it is now. Sudden and drastic change can be upsetting so a beta/test mirror site might have been a good idea before dumping all this on us. I like some of the improvements and am not as thrilled with others (I did actually like the ebots) and there is no artist page anymore, unless I'm missing something. I did like having an artist page to feature an image and offer a bio, but I will adapt if I can. I'm up in the air about Prime. I'm a bit put off by the price increase of prime items when I paid for one thing and am now getting another. I guess time will tell with that as well. Overall I am cautious, but optimistic.

Also, what are "Live Notifications"? I am not receiving any email/ebots for artist uploads. It looks like that feature is now history. So it seems I have to browse through the whole activity feed to find who has posted their artwork. That is cumbersome and goes against human nature for easy access. If you are wishing to reduce the community aspect of the site and discourage people from enjoying each others' artwork, then you may be succeeding very quickly.

In settings, I tried to add a new avatar. It says 200x200 dimensions. I created an image that size and saved it as small as 4kb and it still will not upload. When I hit update public it reverts to no file chosen. Needs a fix perhaps?

My apologies. I should have written back sooner. My Prime membership had expired a few days earlier without me realizing it. I signed up right away and was able to use the coupon. Thanks for your reply and the extension, but all is well again.
