I said the same thing but remarkable new site shows nothing in my post!  3rd time I've seen over 2000 visitors since site change. That seems to affect the slowing down the site, too.:(

Even if I am trying to get use to new site design (not going well), the pages load so darn SLOW! Only 1400 people online now and still unbearably slow.

DAH

Not over 3000 like before site change.

Having toruble with traffic and sales?  Probably wouldn't have lost any if site had remained as it was.

 Lots of coupons and gimmicks to make visitors come to your site since the site change.

Was it really worth it 'standing your ground' against your customers?

I use two pc's. Old one (5 years old) for main pc and new one (3 years old) for rendering.

    New pc is 64 bit with 16 GB ram.  4 hard drives. One with XP-pro, one with Win 7, and two with total of 2.5 TB  space for data.

     So far, this has worked well. Recently had new pc reformatted on spare drive with the win 7, and I hate win 7! Mainly because I don't want to use mail system that comes with it, and I can't let go of Outlook Express.

  As long as these systems work for me, I'm a happy camper. I don't like learning curve on complete changes of OS systems and programs, which is why I hate DAZ 4.5, and I'm still using DAZ 3.2.

 Some changes are good, but when RR changed to new site design, I didn't like the garrish colors and I'm still trying to deal with it.:(

  IE 7 was my favorite, but I use IE 8 now.  I trust XP Pro over any other Windows OS,  and it won't support anything past IE8.  I have Win 7 on an extra hard disc on my newer pc, and haven't even opened win 7 up. XP is so reliable!
  I only use Chrome to look at Google stats. I hate it.  FF takes an update everyday and got tired of fooling with it.

You know what they say about old dogs and tricks.:))

StaceyG, thanks, I will keep watching for changes. Still don't stay on long because of the look. Seems to work in Chrome better than IE.

If the white background and white at top of page changed to black, it would be easier to look at, I think.

 Renders rewards page is still a mess in IE, but I'll keep checking to see if changes help any with overall look.

THANK YOU!! You've added the percent of sale to sales pages!! Yippie.:) 

I might be able to get use to colors with this back. Thanks for listening!

Quote - While the colors are exponentially better and easier to deal with, the large white space at the top and bottom is still a bit bright. Since I'm on my computer a lot I do have the brightness turned down and it's still a bit overwhelming.

And the store? I don't know...it's jumbly...it's too jarring and everything looks too loud in it or something. I got three pages in and gave it up. I used to be able to get through dozens of pages...but this? I don't know. If I can get used to it? Who knows? If I can, I'll shop. If I can't? Oh well. You won't miss my inconsequential dollars. :)

You won't miss my dollars either.  I will buy ONLY essential things, but plan to spend much less time on this site than I did before.

Some people just have a hard time admitting that they made a mistake and move on.

Sorry, after refresh, site still looks ......BLAH!

HERE'S THE MAIN THING..............

   The products just don't look as 'appetizing' to buy as they did before when the site was pleasing to look at. 

    The promos don't tantilize me into looking at the sales page to make purchases.

I see some color changes made  but boxes still look amaturish. Get rid of the vast white spaces, or change them to another color.

How hard would it be just to admit the mistake, suck up the money spent, and go back to the old site design?  Be that company that listens to their customers and vendors.

PS: not everyone has the latest and greatest Windows  OS and browsers, because older versions are tried and true.  Seasoned users keep OS that work and are not quick to change to the newest versions that come out.  My experience is, that some updates mess up your programs and your equipment.   

Stuff that works in older versions, usually work in newer versions, but the reverse is not always true. 

Yes, wishlist is fixed as far as the thumb size is concerned. Too bad that many have deleted their list, and in my case, half of it.

 Still a 'blinding' white background against a dark blue page background, which is too much contrast for my eyes to look at for more than a few seconds. 

 It doesn't help that every button on the page contains most colors in a first grader's box of crayola crayons!

   I think that this is what most are complaining about because the RR site had such pleasing colors to look at before this change, and now it chaotic.

To answer Sabby about wishlist....I am using IE, with full page view at 1440x900 settings and I have to scroll my wishlist 10 pages long to see all 34 things on the list, due to the HUGE white thumbnails.
