I have also apparently lost the use of my April rewards due to the blank page described in the previous posts.

yes, i tried it after my last post and it finally worked.

i am trying not to "shoot the messenger" but is still frustrating.

thank you

i don't use paypal and these "issues" occur too often.

i should be able to count on the payment system working, shouldn't I?

While it is good to have a place to vent, the reality is that Renderosity doesn't actually care a whit about the existing customer base.

they will fix the issues that interfere with them making money and abandon any other issues, forcing the user base to figure out work-arounds.

Then 12 to 18 months from now they will do it all over again.

but do not worry, for your entertainment, it almost time for the Genesis site, sorry, I mean DAZ, to screw their site up as well. Fun for everybody!

yup, the new site is buggy, completely re-arranged so as to make navigation difficult to impossible, and the whole prime price of $3.50 thing is just a memory for anything you might actually want. Thanks, Renderosity. Just when things seem stable and we have become accustomed to the foibles of your last web developer induced disaster you decide to screw up your site again.

I do not care to have my life story or any unnecessary information on a site that caused me to have my credit card re-issued 3, count'em, 3 times last spring. maybe if you spent more work on securing your store instead creating useless, unneeded, bells and whistles you could have prevented such occurrences. As it was it took you over 2 months to fix that issue.

I know you will not return to the old site format no matter how badly screwed up this new format is (who cares what the customers want, full speed ahead!).

I barely do social media and I am not interested in expanding that usage to a site that drops unpleasant surprises on customers. I will probably figure out how to use this site much as I used the old one, all the new features do not interest me and will sit unused in my account so will be a waste of your time and resources.

thanks for letting me rant

The "OOOH! Shiny!" web developers strike again.

OK, I figured out how to sort all my purchases by the "updated" column,

however it shows that over 122 items have "updated" dates in the last three days (06/23-06/25).  Really?  When normallly the average is maybe 3-4 a month?

I do not know why the two biggest 3d sites both insist on shoving untested (or at least poorly tested) updated sites and stores on their customers (Just in case everyone has forgotten about the DAZ store debacle last fall).

I know in their usual mode of "we know you'll love it... eventually... after you realize we won't ever change back" we will have to live with the majority of these "improvements".

This is normal for 3d site "upgrades" I guess, but it is frustrating and is not a method to encourage any kind of customer loyalty.

I would encourage Renderosity (and others) to stop doing wholesale updates and actually test things like item lists and wishlists before pushing out a site with reduced functionality.

I used to be able to open a page from my item list that would show all of my purchases that had updates by clicking the "updated" column header.  This now only sorts the items on the current page.

Since I have been purchasing items here for over ten years it is not reasonable to expect me to check all my purchases for updates page by page.

Similarly I can no longer sort my wishlist by vendor.

Visually:

on the good:

Color scheme is easier on the eyes.

on the not-so-good:

I am not happy with what appear to me to be over large promo pictures on the marketplace pages when I am fullscreen.  It looks like an interface designed for smartphones and tablets with touch screens.

Overall it just appears to me to be another redesign that we will forced to get used to in order to use the site.

I'm glad to know where to find your products.  Are you going to continue with PICK?

There is a "Smooth Polygons" option under the properties tab for each individual object.  It is on (checked) by default.  Uncheck the box and polygon smoothing will ignore that object.  Each prop has only one of these.  Figures, on the other hand, have this for every body part.

Norton Internet Security actually blocked the same thing coming from RDNA at 12:38 am PDT on my system.

Dr. Geep, I have found and gone through a fair number of your tutorials and found them very handy. Please keep up the good work. Thanks, Jeff

I just leave it in PNU mode since I'm normally too lazy to switch back and forth. I use 1:100 when I put anything together and reduce the scale to 96% if it has to match something in that scale. Works for me. Thanks, Jeff

The point that I was trying to make is that Poser gives different results at startup and after changing display units. The conversions are not consistent if you change display units during a session. It is safer to set the "display units" to PNU's and do the conversions yourself. Jeff
