The front page only gives a very basic explanation of the changes.

My biggest problem is that the site search still kind of sucks. You can type in something like V4 Anime Hair and you will only get if lucky five or so related items and a much larger number of unrelated items.

I am more than certain that the sales dropped after the last updates and will continue to do so. At this point I don't think renderosity can do anything about it apart from going back to the drawing board.

I think something like a quick tips or a breakdown of how the new site works would have been a good idea, rather than just leaving everyone to find there way around pretty much in the dark.

I too am having a bit of trouble navigating it. Having to depend solely on the search to find anything is not fun. One of the things I liked about renderosity before the updates just prior to this last batch, was the ability to view all the items or types of items from a single figure at once or narrowd. The way the listed items appear is set to newest to oldest by default. Thats ok but like I had said in another post, the sort options is lacking. No more sort by popularity, ranking, or best sellings. One issue that I still find is with the symmetry text boxes. I would also really like it if the way the categories listing is set up changed to something more compact. I find my self doing way too much scrolling.

Yes I saw the post in the front page today. Some of the issues have been fixed but some are yet to be.

I have had a lot of great friends leave the site over the years

First time they started leaving was when the site started to use censored thumbnails in the gallery

second time the started leaving was to some tos changes

third time time was when the site decided that artist could not credit or link to artist over at deviant art

most recently I have had friends leave when the new store changes took place some of them were vendors

I have had of people leave because of the negligence of the sites administration some of them were top artist whos images sold products. I am not just saying that, these were people whos images and galleries had some of the most views and use to always credit the vendors. And people are stil leaving. The only reason I am still here is the vendors and the other few artist that have remained.

The site is no where near the calibur of other 3D content sites currently online. there are new ones poping up each day and if this site does not start taking its clientel more serious its going to go down.

There is no such thing as too big to fail.

Sorry for the double post.

I say check your sales figures and compare them to this time last year and the year before that. And then present the current market place to a usability export and see what they say.

There was more to it, I mentioned no names nor anything else nor will I mention anything else from it.

I have been trying to be patient but when ever I go to look for something it's just head ache. Plus I have not seen any changes to the site to tweak it or make it better.

There are ways to fix the new layout. all one would have to do as add a few more filters. 

You say there are a lot of happy people, but I have seen no threads saying how great the new setup is. actually I have not seen a single comment saying that.

I too have read nothing but negative comments across the board.

Another thing that I truly hate. One is not able to view all of the clothing available for a firgure at once. You have to sift through the stupid categories.

And Sabby you may no believe me but that is what happend. Yes one can get use to working with a broken or defective system but it is still broken.

In my most honest opinion the latest changes to site were done for changes sake and to me that is a terrible thing to do. This site has lost all concept of if it is not broken don't fix it and keeping things simple. There also use to be a general when it comes to doing business and that was the costumer is always right.

And it is not the first time they do a stupid change to the site. Does anyone remember when they removed the whats new and whats hot from the drown menu. Every body complained and they had to put it back up.

Not only that but the new site search is terrible! I spent all of last week looking for a product using key words and what not and was not able to find anything. I had to ask a vendor who used the product in one of her promotional images in order to find it.

The new structure was designed to eliminate repeated product posts in the store but I am still finding many repeated items. 

The new store is broken and I will go as far as calling it user hostile.

I use to purchase numerous items on a weekly basis and now I am only getting a few sale items that have been marked down up to 60% off and a few items that I need to do some work. A few vendors that I use to buy from have either closed their shops or moved them over to Daz and yet the person managing the shop still thinks they are doing a good job.

If losing vendors, customers and sales is doing a good job then they really are.

I sent in a site mail and was even told that if I did not like the new store that I should just cancel my account of over six years now that I have spent a great deal of money on, and yes this was said by the person in charge of managing the entire store.

Does that sound like someone who is doing a good job.

I have even felt like writing a letter or petition to bondware informing them of the terrible changes to the store and severe decline in customer support.

IF you do it that way you can't filter out the figures you use or even male or female

Yeah I still hate the new setup

They are actually working on adding the filters back to the itemised order history. Reason it has taken so long is there is something about the new code they are using.

They still has a few things to fix

If you don't like the new chages to the site here is a reply I got via email.

Hi.

That is an intended change to the Departments Structure/Reorganizing that is currently in progress. Not a mistake. 

The changes to Departments is one that we will be implementing over the next week, and after that period will be permanent to the site and will not be changed or reversed. We truly feel that after a period of adjustment, and time for all products to be moved into their correct areas your shopping experience will be improved. These changes along with the enhancements to the search function, as well as some other overall site improvements that are still in the works will all work together to improve the overall function of the site, and therefore your experience as a buyer.

We are sorry you feel this way. We just hope you will give it some time and see if your opinion changes at all.

Have a good weekend!
