Thanks a lot ppl! I will check them out.

Is this idea so bad that no moderator/admin/site coder has commented on it? I mean a simple "we won't do it cause we don't want to" would had been even nice. Of course I'd prefer to see a "We will work on it cause is a very neat idea" but as that oculd be only my opinion, I'm not looking forward to this, but I'd like to see some answer at least. I know it is not that hard to code, cause I know coding my self, but that's not the point. The point is to get some feedback, jeez I'll even take a comment like "We need those browsing options as we need an elephant shaped keyboard" but that would be at least a comment.

I agree completely... the change in te tilte would be a very cool improovement... I mean... there's no need to remove the "Renderosity.com" text... but the gallery, forum, whatever could be added so it's more clear. somethign like "Renderosity.com - Galleries, Art Gallery. What's New" or somethign the like. Just MHO.

Just a clarification, probably a non needed clarification but just in case. The prev/next/first/last buttons or links should move to the full image (prev,next,first,last) of the gallery where the memeber is currently "standing" meaning if you came to the image from the what's new gallery, then the next link will send you to the next image of that gallery if instead yo come from an artist gallery then should send you to the next image of the artist gallery and so on, keeping in mind filters etc. this might complicate things a little bit (at programing level) but it sounds to me as the logical way to make it work if it's made at all.

Exactly that's what I mean. A Next and Previous for the full size image. and also a First and Last, because if the next/previous can be done, the first/last should be very similar (at programming level I mean)

I don't dislike the new look, neither do I like it more than the previus one... but honestly there's something I would not have realized if I didn't came to this thread...
probably because I'm too dumb... dunno... but I didn't realize that the marketplace link was an ATM until I read the first msg of this thread and checked the link.
I'm not saying this is worst nor better than the previous one... I believe is balanced... somethings I like more than before, other things I don't. But I believe the developers of the site can't do something that pleases EVERYONE, they can only do something that pleases the majority, and that's NOT their fault, it's just reality.
If we all thought in the same way...
EVERYTHING WOULD BE JUST TOO BORING :)

I believe that the ability to change the background is a great thing.
However... I think that making the default one that $#!+y creamy white colour is awful. Of course this is just my opinion... but the first time I came in and saw that BG... I thought it was somethign that would be later fixed.
I believe a black or dark grey (for default) would be much better... and of course leave each member the posibility to change it to what it prefers most. I'm only talking about the default settings here.

Well, thanks a lot guys. I have not loaded the producrts yet for one main reason... My machine got burnt, blasted, usless. So I'm waiting till I get the bucks for a new one. However, I use my time on rentals to find out what will I'll be able to do once I can load thos two softwares. Mi intentions are: give life to the characters I design in my mind for role playing games (table top games that is, not computer games) no commercial ends to it. Just the fun of it. I want to create vampires, werewolves, wraiths, and a large lists of etceteras, and I was thinking that if there is already a start model I could use, that would save me a lot of time and head ackes cause I'm a terrible artist. XD Once again thanks a lot for your time and answers they've been pretty helpful.
