Today it appears to be back to normal. SOOOOO much better.

I see nothing is being done about this... 48 seconds to open the forms and get to this thread from the homepage.

C'mon guys, this is silly. 20 days since I posted the original thread...

:/

Thanks,There is a lot of great content here, just frustrating to get to at the moment. :)

Boo, it changes the gif to a static image. Oh well. Here it is on my personal website.

Yeah, it's been so slow (at times) for me I couldn't even complete an order. It would time out :(

It's still bad today. Took 2 minutes just to get to this forum post.

The whole site has been extremely slow for a couple of weeks now. It's not my internet and it's not AWS (images are fast once the store responds)...

You will find the Jorja jewelry under your gifts tab in your account

Ah ha, here it is. I was expecting it the other way.

Thank you.

Didn't work that way for me. It's not in my order.

Thank you!

Quote - Now onto today's frustration.  Daz has created a new Poser forum.  Again, a positive for Daz in the eyes of Poser users.  This morning though, I posted in a thread in the Nuts and Bolts section helping a new Poser user.  I come back from work to check the thread and can't find it.  Eventually I do a search for my own recent posts and find the thread has been moved into the Poser forum because apparently, it's a "Pure Poser" question.

So are we now to believe that any discussion of Poser at all has to be conducted in our own little corner of the Daz forums?

Maybe, you're reading too much into it.  Maybe they just want people to realize that there is such a forum and move some traffic into it so people will start to use it.

Constructive Download Manager thoughts:

• Should not be a system level or integrated application.  It should be stand alone, launchable, etc.  Fully controllable.

• Should keep track of what computers are associated with a user and what content is on each.

• It should be flexible.  At least two, if not more, methods of operation.

** Suggested Method 1 - Old School

*** Should allow users to download installers for storage/archiving.

*** Should be aware of the store and purchases made since last invokation.  At launch it would offer to download all purchases since last run.

*** Should also be aware of the last date that installer was downloaded and know that installer has been updated and automatically offer to redownload it when the download manager is invoked.

*** Does nothing else. :) 

** Suggested Method 2 - The Novice

*** Should download content from the store automatically.  Either via installers or individual files

*** Should place that content in the default content directory structure. Either by silently running installers or by placing it there directly.

*** Should know when that content is updated and automatically patch it.

There are probably more ideas, but those are mine.  Fwiw, I love Steam.  I have only purchased a single boxed copy of a game since Steam came along.  It launches only when I want it to, if a game is updated, it patches it transparently, etc.  It's been very good for me.
