Fenier, you are so awesome.  I would not be surprised if your input is being greatly helpful to the staff.  But then again, I don't know jack about HTML or JS, so I'm not a good judge.

The sort tabs don't work on the Search page, either-- that's where I noticed it.

The sort results tabs don't appear to be working for me anymore.

^^It's not spilt milk.  They're bringing this to the marketplace as well, and I don't trust them to fix it before implementing it, esp. since KimberlyC does not appear to be in charge of these decisions, in addition to the fact that they initiated this layout without anywhere near enough testing (even though as professional a commercial site as Rendo is, they are 100% capable of testing it out first, far better than they actually have)

Quote - It appears to be a design decision made on their part, which ensures the right sidebar is still visible.  

Some quick CSS work proves that 4x is possible, but it requires hiding the right sidebar, expanding the left side to be 100%, and making the width of the divs containing the images 25%.

You can see what I mean here:

That's still just 2 rows in that screenshot.  It's only the preview galleruy at the top that is 4x.

Are you saying that the staff is unwilling to fix thids?@?!?!?  ASnd they're going to BRING THIS HORRIBLE LAYOUT TO THE MARKETPLACE, making it impossible for me to browse without wanting to pull my hair out?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!~?

THis is unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would make things way too small.  Plus, I like my old monitor.  I can see most of the screen all at once, and it's covered in pretty bug stickers.

I keep my purchased DLs stored on both my HD and a USB drive or two.  Mainly in the chance that I take a hiatus from 3D programs for a few years, only to come back and find that one of the sites whom I've purchased products from no longer exists, or that my account somehow went the way of the dinosaurs.

My recommended screen resolution is 1024x768.

BTW, I'm not getting that problem another poster mentioned on Adamthewaites' posable chain, if anyone must know.

I am curious what the resolution is of your monitor?

I already told you, the recommended one whichever that is.  I'm pretty sure the recommended setting is the exact same no matter what version of windows the person is using.

I didn't have any problems with the damn layout before this horrible update (I'm not lashing out at you, I'm justr sick of this problem and everyone telling me it's my fault)  And the MP layout looks like it should (rows of four of nice, close together thumbnails)

BTW, I just checked, and I have the EXACT same problem in IE (it's a really old version because I never use it)  So it's not browser specific.

So what now?  Why am I the only one being affected?

I somehow doubt updating everything will solve the problem.  It never has in the past.

BTW, I'm having that problem with the bar again on the right-- my browser window is the same size as in the screenshot in this post.

The left and right have not been cropped so that you can see how large I have the window.  Yes, my resolution is on the standard/recommended setting.

I can also provide screenshots of how horrible this looks.

Oh, might as well, now, here s the first.

This is with the screen maximized.  Basically I can't browse more than two files on my screen at once.  Look at how horrendous it looks!  The thumbnails are so huger@!

I can only see two images at any given time...

Okay, good to know, but it still doesn't solve the problem of things being WAAY too big.  I'm having a similar problem listed above-- no matter how big I go, there are only two items per row/colum, and if I shrink it, that's only one.  I like things to be organized AND compact, personally.

I should mention that I DO use adblock for a lot of stuff, though I don't know if any of it even works with the new layout.  I can't stand all the ads, the widgets, and I can't remember what else that forces me to scroll down past a bunch of crap in addition to slowing and crashing my browser, displacing everything else, or having a box covering something (like yesterday and several days before when the bundles/calendar/etc. box covered the right side of the reply box).  I don't suppose that adblock could be contributing to my problems?

Also, why have none of the staff ansered yet about whether or not they're planning to implement this on the Marketplace?  It makes it look like they either don't know or they're afraid to answer us...

Yeah, I noticed the details button is gone too.  I think this was their "solution" to the problem Luxxeon brought up above, with descriptions turning into run-on sentences of the titles.

Sorry, but removing a feature in order to fix a problem is [b]not[/b] a solution.

Without the details button, a lot of freebies are now worthless.

Please fix this ASAP . (and please don't tell me that you can't.  The staff who make GIMP and FIREFOX could do it, and they work for free, so surely for-pay techies for a commercial site are more than capable of fixing something like this-- unless, by some chance, you're using craptastic software...  Which I hope is not the case.)  Couldn't you guys have at least tested this on a dummy site like most commercial sites do before implementing it? :(

Edit: Unicornst, are you telling me that all mesh textures are now lumpewd into "textures"?

Well, that's just great.  So Renderosity basically fixed things that weren't broken, and broke things that were working just fine. 

The only NEW thing I see so far is the ability to sort someone's freebie gallery by file format-- which isn't all that useful IMO when someone can simply click and find out.

I would have preferred that instead of that, a file list all formats it is in like we see on Sharecg-- esp. now that the details/descriptions no longer work.

If this format replaces the current one at the MP, it'll be like a proverbial bullet to the  Renderosity MP's head.

@iceEmpress - what browser do you use because I am seeing 4 images per row.

Firefox 26. 

[i]As for the title/user you are able to search but you can also search by software choice by clicking on the what's new bar in the upper left hand corner of the page.[/i]

You could already do that before.  And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the "search by title/content/whatever" also give hits by description/text? 

The actual marketplace manages to have 4 across, and not look too large, all while having a side margin... this couldn't have been brought to free stuff? 

I don't mind the more portrait style thumbs, but they do seem too large to me.

I concur 100%  This is entirely my problem with the new layout.  Except that I don't like the size of the thumbs-- I like how they were before-- then, if I think the thumb and title looks interesting, I can click on it for more info.  I don't need any of that in the index, what we had before on the index layout worked 100% fine except for the multitude of entries linking to dead websites, and the lack of indicators as to whether or not the item is d/led on an external site.  And on the search page, when you guys eliminated the - feature from the search function a year ago-- supper pissed and disappointed about that, and I hope you brought that back.

Also, is it just me, or did the bottom box with the "affiliates/ MP/ free stuff/" etc. disappear from the "what's new" section in Free Stuff?  Please bring that back.

Also, please quell Sabby;s and my fears that you guys have possible plans to bring this horrendous new layout to the marketplace....  I suspect she's not the only major PA who might have a serious problem with this idea...

If you guys add this layout to the MP, I won't be shopping here anymore save for the  major "must have's" that are already on my wishlist...  unless of course you guys butcher that thing as well shudders) because this new layout is an unusable nightmare for me.  It would be nearly impossible for me to navigate the MP no matter how badly I wanted to if you guys implement this.  So please, please just don't.  It would be a massive disservice to the PAs here.
That is not a mere "waah waah do what I want" threat, BTW.  As I said, it would be impossible for me to navigate no matter how much I wanted to (unless I had tons of time to blow) and there are tons of things here that I would absolutely love to buy...  eyes Poisen's, Sickleyields's, DzHeng's, Mairy/3Dream's, Fuseling's, and Donoraul's booths in particular   I absolutely hate the idea that the PAs would be innocent victims caught in the middle of all of this, in said scenario.  
At the very, very least I hope that, IF you have any possible plans of implementing this layout in the MP in the future, that you will at least take it up with your PAs first, and see what they think-- IMHO it should be 50 to 75% their decision, since without them, the continued existence of this site would not be possible.
