The new galleries are here!

It's a pitty that I cannot open it.

I cannot open my own gallery; I cannot open the pages from other fractal-artists who posted on Renderosity; I cannot open several other pages from Renderosity; in short: I can do nothing. What's going on?

Hello Jos,

Renderosity is currently undergoing a conversion of the entire site (including some 700,000 uploaded images) to an entirely new system.  Unfortunately, that requires some down time here and there beyond just the original conversion, to fix small problems.    Sorry if that was a problem for you, just try again a bit later. 

What browser are you using?

Thank's for the info Vivian.

I'm using Internet Explorer and Windows XP with SP2 and the most recent updates.

But I'll be patient.

Try clearing your cache and cookies.  Then come into the site by typing in www.renderosity.com to your address bar.  With new servers, the old bookmarks/favorites will no longer work.  This may be the main problem with most access difficulties.

The conversion is ongoing.  There are still a few bugs being worked out on the Gallery (over 700.000 images!!!) as well as conversion of such things as member homepages, the front page, directional pages, etc.  Sometimes the programmers have to take parts of the site down for a short time while they are readjusting things.

I hope something in this post helps!

 I've counted that the address to my own gallery has changed (ie. switched server) 3 times over the past day... little point in bookmarking anything under such conditions...

 Converting dynamic data (= data exposed to change... uploads, posts, counts, views ect...) in a running system is a very(!) bad idea and doomed to fail... Why they could even think of doing that is beyond me. No wonder they loose things...
