Pretty slow for me too, but I can connect eventually.

Just got this page at DAZ
Your checkout was delayed, possibly because our server is very busy. Please review your order and try again.
so I guess I'm right

Well, if you let it sit for about 10 minutes, the page eventually loads....lol 
I'm beginning to get that deja vu - trying to download anything from SM - feeling...lol.

Last night it worked fine with I d/led my weekly freebie. This morning, molasses. Their webpages are not well constructed.

They've been slow lately, but I notice their site is worse in the mornings.
WARK!

Store is frequently so slow to load/change page that it makes a snail look like an olympic sprinter.
Forums are as bad, if not worse.

Hello,
same for me. Their old store was one of the best and fastest on the internet, since there is the new one, I experience slow response quite frequently, and also it's buggy.
What doesn't work for me at all any more is to check out a non-free DAZ original paid in full using vouchers. I've an order stuck since 26th, and their helpdesk isn't staffed between Xmas and New Year. Guess I have to wait until next year...
Best regards,
Michael

be careful about giving that place order an extra click. even if it hangs.
it will charge your card for every click.

I got a message: "We have detected that you do not have DAZ Studio or Genesis on your computer. Click below to download DAZ Studio 4 and Genesis, then you may access the marketplace."
JUST KIDDING! It was a joke! Making fun of ourselves and our conspiracy theories. Please don't anybody have a fit or lock the thread!
Seriously, I haven't had any problems moving around on the site today (Dec. 31), and even managed to find something for V4 to spend my voucher $ on before it expires tonight.

Hmm...I got on earlier and it was fine...doesn't surprise me about about the Genesis requirement tho. Those pesky aliens

I just got my free Gorilla and I don't really know what a Genesis is.
Something to do with DAZ Studio 4 perhaps. I find DAZ Studio a pain in the neck to use, don't understand it, and don't have time to learn an all new counterintuitive software. The Youtube tutorial left me mystified.
I like gorillas, and I like free, so I'm thinking ahead.
I noticed a slight lag while downloading things on sale tonight, but nothing fatal.

To the humorless: this was a JOKE...lol. There is no DS4/Genesis requirement to download anything at Daz ;).
Genesis is the new technology Daz is using for their figures from here on in. One mesh - just about any shape using weight mapping (but not compatible with Poser Pro 2012's weight mapping). It only works inside DS4 at this point but an exporter from DS to Poser is in it's rudimentary stage and included in the current version of DS4. Hope that clears it up :)

imax24 posted Sun, 01 January 2012 at 9:26 AM
I'm not entirely comfortable with the concept of a single mesh that can produce a gorilla, a giraffe, a 10-speed bicycle, a zucchini, or Victoria 5. That's taking "one size fits all" a bit too far.
(Again, humor in a situation that has been entirely too humorless!)

I think Talos was saying he got the free gorilla to use at some point when Genesis works in Poser.
LaurieA posted Sun, 01 January 2012 at 11:31 AM
Quote - Well unless you have Genesis installed you can not use this "free" item...see pic
Well, I didn't mean that exactly. It's clearly marked that the gorilla will only work in DS4 and Genesis....lol.
I meant that you can download anything you want from Daz whether you have Genesis or not. Now, being able to use it without Genesis is another matter completely....lol. But not everything at Daz and in their free section is just for Genesis and DS4 :).

genesis can use V4 and M4's uvs. there's a possibility the gorilla texture may work on V4 or M4, or not.

Okay, I'm the most confused person on the forum and I've been using Poser since it came out on 3 floppies in 1995.
I understood/read that the Genesis was part of DAZ Studio, but I must have misunderstood again. I downloaded and installed the latest DAZ Studio, supposedly with Poser export capabilities.
I thought fine, I'll see if I can install the gorilla in Daz Studio??
To see if it even shows up??? (Feeling like one of those teenagers who ends every sentence with a question mark)
I couldn't use the gorilla because I got the error message pictured above by Bobbystahr.
I feel very...unintelligent! -Like a chimpanzee trying to use a revolver.
I don't get it.
