I am saddened by Renderosity's move to go in this direction, without even looking into how the community might react (What's New!).  My 1st impression is "This SUCKS!". After using it for the last 2 Hours that impression has not changed.

Things that should be addressed with this new Process:

No Sort Order! I always delt with my email ebots by Oldest 1st, and was able to delete them as I prosessed them. This function cannot be done with this new method, and now I have to sort through what I have already responed to! Altough I can use the "Right Click - Open in new Tab" I don't always remember to do that, and then have to use "Older Post" 3 times to get to posts I still need to respond to.

Ebots came in as the posts were made. It looks to me as if we only will be notified once a day, and that the "Daily Digest" will only be updated once a day. So between times, if I had time to respond to new posts, I won't be able to. I have a huge count of Favorite Artists, and I usually get 35-70 ebots a day. So being able to respond to ebots, on my scedule, was a Plus for Using Renderosity as my Gallery Provider. You have now made Deviantart an equal! Oh wait a minute, Deviantart does update its Notifications as the posts are made.
