So you're saying they deliberately did not transfer the order histories just to piss off their customers and run them off? And you're comfortable making that rationalization?
You seem to imply that is what they are doing, I have not heard one other person say they are doing this to "piss off" their customers deliberately.
What I am saying is that there could have been a better way of doing things. I personally don't like the new look too much, however I will still purchase things from CP if I cannot find them any other place.
No, I was asking if that is what you believed. You didn't really give an explanation for why you seemed to believe that they could just transfer the information but didn't until I pressed you and then you chalked it up to laziness. I just took them at their word when they said they had rewritten everything from scratch and this created a need to break from the old site.
Thread: CP has KILLED downloads early!!! They're now gone!!!! | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote - New account sounds like a lot hassle to me. Its pretty unprofessional if they can't transfer over data and everything because quite frankly i am not fond of making yet another account and putting out my data on the net another time. Nah I just forget CP ever existed and get the few things I would have bought there from the vendors in their other stores.
CP always seemed cluttered sluggish and slow to me with totally unprofessional support when I needed it. Now it has become totally useless and not worth a cent of my money.
Where, if you're not already a member, you'll have to go through the same hassle to create an account and do the very thing you say you were trying to avoid. And assuming the vendors you want to buy from aren't all in the same store, you'll be putting your info on the net even more times than just re-entering it once at CP.
Just saying.

I notice that the CP excusers have moved on rather rapidly from the above topic. This quote embodies a false premise set up as a straw man to knock down ... no one is assuming they did this for those reasons, but you have nicely stated the likely outcome. BTW, this is a conclusion, not a rationalization. But I digress ...

I didn't really move on. I just happen to know how futile it is to engage my head against a brick wall. You've already made up your mind, and you've pretty much stated that nothing will change that. At this point I firmly believe that if GOD came down from on high and testified that CP meant no harm, you'd call Him a bold faced liar.
I really am sorry that you feel CP has deliberately sought to harm you in some way, and you are totally justified in not wanting to shop there ever again if that is your wish. Admittedly, if I felt as you do, I might also be inclined never to shop there again. However, I don't feel as you do. At worst, CP is guilty of a few miscalculations about how it's customers would react to the changes it has made to it's online store.
I'm not happy with all of the changes they made either. I admit that I don't think they should have closed the forum, and it fact, it does puzzle me that if they can leave it up for read only access, why not let people continue to post there. I don't know the answer, but I'm not willing to condemn them to hell for it. They warned everyone about the order histories, and anyone who can actually read knows what they said in their newsletter.
Furthermore, I don't consider myself to be a CP excuser. What have I excused? All I've done is present the facts as I've seen them when I feel that what CP has said or done has been misrepresented. I won't apologize for trying to be fair to CP.

Quote - DS is not FREE to get it comparable to Poser there is a significant cost. however the FREE version is a good starting point
True, but with DS you're only paying for what you need or want. I prefer Poser, but it's features are woefully underutilized by me.

Quote - I hope P8 does something new and very snazzy.
They're losing me to DS more and more, especially since their figure setup tools. I noticed a little bit of a trend in the same direction. What I don't know is if the numbers of people switching over are significant or not.
I'm not very "program faithful". Typically, if the tools suits me, I use it, sort of like picking the right size wrench.
My thought is that even if Poser came up with one click rigging, it would still have it's detractors. You'll never be able to please everyone.
I will acknowledge that I think DS has the development advantage as they seem to be very responsive to their customer base, but on the other hand DS is free. Poser's not.
Considering the reaction people are having to the store making changes, could you really see them being more forgiving to Poser putting out a bug-ridden version just to get the latest feature out to the public??

Quote - Seems that whenever people want to see where to get Terai Yuki 2, I haven't a link to give them. Appears that TY2 is one of the casualties of the CP conversion.
Sure looks funny on their store, having a bunch of TY2 clothing items and such, and no base model to link to.
Well, Starlet's already told you that TY2 will be available soon at CP but if they can't wait, they can buy her at Smith Micro as well.

Quote - > Quote - > Quote - What gets me about not transfering the old order history to the new store is that you can export it from the old store as an XML file, which you can import into almost any standard database.
So you're saying they deliberately did not transfer the order histories just to piss off their customers and run them off? And you're comfortable making that rationalization?
No what I am saying is that they are lazy for not doing this. I work with databases all day long and I know that with some time and effort they could have made it work so your account info could have been moved to the new site.
But you don't know exactly what they had to do, do you? Unless you were part of the team putting this together. I'm not doubting your experience, I don't know except for what you've told me, and I don't if that's true or not. I AM assuming that they had some reason, other than laziness, for not doing it. They did say they rewrote everything from scratch, so I don't know what they did or didn't do, but unless you were there, it's a safe bet that you're making unsubstantiated assumptions.
Now if someone at CP wants to come forward and say you're right...

Quote - > Quote - Don't think I'll be buying into poser 8. Seems like every time they add a few more problems to the mix instead of just starting over and doing it right. Icing...no matter how good...will not take away the taste of a burned cake.
Truer words never spoken. I JUST bought Poser 7 and and I'm having nothing but problems and crashes. Frustrating.
On the other hand, hi Marque. How are you doing? :o)
Laurie
I just bought Poser 7 as well and it works fine for me. Doesn't crash, and it's definitely faster than P6.
And bad Icing, even on a well baked cake, can make it unpalatable.

Could I search my order history from old store or new store indefinitely?
I can only quote what they say on their support page:
* *
Purchase history - Your old account is still there!
*The old CP Store is now available at http://retro.contentparadise.com. **You will always have access to your old account with all of your saved purchase history for orders placed prior to June 1, 2009. *You just log in with your old username and password to visit your MyStuff page. We also provide a link to that site in your NEW Account - so you can pop over to visit your old purchase history whenever you need to from your new account.

Quote - Hi EClark1894,
(Since EClark1894 relates to CP)
Is excellent Poser 8 being developed? How is the progress?
When will there be beta version?
Or, the development is not under consideration?(I asked this because I would like to know whether it is worth waiting for next version of Poser, or look for other alternatives from nowon)
Thanks in advance
Why? What have you heard?
Heh. I don't work for Smith Micro, or CP. My interests were purely self-motivated in that I thought a lot of people were getting some facts wrong and in other cases just making things up about the changes at CP. I don't think any of it was intentional, but a few reactions people were having were just simply over the top.
As for Poser 8, I'll find out when you do.

Quote - I was a little surprised to see a couple of my favourite vendors no longer there.
Just trying to help:
From the CP Support page:
Due to the restructuring of the database to accommodate buyer and seller requests, many previous sellers are still making the switch and getting their catalogs active over the next few weeks. We expect to see many more sellers and products become active very quickly. If you are curious about a particular seller or set of products, you may want to contact them directly.*

Quote - What sucks is that I have bought programs through them, will they be supported? Also I bought extended downloads through them, will that be supported? No more Poser for me I will stay with 7. They have lost a customer for life over this fiasco.
There's a simple way to find out. Ask them.

Quote - > Quote - Hello! I was just at CP and am not impressed to say the least. It is difficult to look around. I don't like how they show the product and the pop ups when you pass over the item are real annoying. I couldn't locate just the vendor area for Vanishing Point and finally found the limited offering for "tank". I really don't need the headache and have to agree that it will no longer be a frequent stop. It is sad that they had to screw up a working site but there are other places to spend my available bucks. Take care all.
I am with you on this one, I can only see 5 items at a time?!? WTF!
I can shop elsewhere.
Or you can choose the LIST ALL view for the category. A List not unlike iTunes pops up with every product in that category with a button to buy and a price. Roll your mouse over the item name and a promo image pops up, and if you need more info you can click and go to the product page.
I rather like it so far. I do still think they need better promo pics, but as I understand it, that's up to the vendors mostly.
BTW- VanishingPoint is still there. All of it. Just click on the name in the List All view.

Thread: CP pulling the plug on your downloads 1 JULY !!!! | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote - It also shows they ae NOT good to their word, too! Jumping the gun to piss off customers is as bad as anything else they've already promised to do. It's despicable and dishonest.IMO. As well as bad business judgement. A sad day, indeed.
How did they break their word? They said the board was closing down on May 28th and it did. I can't site exactly what time it did shut down, but I do know it was still active until around 8p.m. and by 2a.m. on the 29th, I couldn't get back on. I know, I tried.
