The problems with the site lately have been annoying at best, intolerable at worst. I understand where you are coming from vilters...I still can't get the site to do what I want. Search is broken for me....what a pain in the rear end.

Freestuff WTF??????? Do these guys not listen to us? I think a bunch of us have complained about the header and footer of each page being too large and too bright white. And now its in the free stuff section as well. And the marketplace is now so hard to navigate to find anything!!!!!

you guys might want to update your browser...no probs here on latest IE.

Well, seems they optimized the site for IE...fine and dandy if most of us USED IE. I wouldn't touch it with someone elses 10 foot pole. LOL. It worked in FF for me before (of which I have the latest).

Laurie

Freestuff looks ok. sure the first page is headers but that why we has a scroll button.

Chrome on OSX 10.8.4 here, version 27.0.1453.110.

Looks all right for me using Chrome with latest update. Marketplace and freebies section all showing fine and loading easy.

Thanks for the humorous way you made your feelings known Vitters!

I see the "Browse" bar text as a faint grey against lighter grey- I can see it-but it looks like "greyed out" text. Not the most visible of choices!

Firefox 21 here, too. Haven't touched IE in years.

It's very annoying that I have to constantly switch size settings between the forums and the market place/freestuff site.

It worked perfectly last year. :-(

Hey, I second the hitman idea! Guy doesn't look at feedback at all. Can't stand the header and footers, must scroll down quickly because the header is soooo bright it hurts my eyes.

Ithink you guys are all being really rude, cut Rendo some slack. Perhaps they have outsourced the web design to one of those foreign lands where IT skills are cheap and the new webmaster doesn't speak any English at all. :-P

I'm on FF and not having any troubles. Perhaps it's one of your browser addons that is messing with stuff. I have seen that happen before. The search works. (of course the site search works for me too) I can read it. I don't have half of the problems you guys seem to have. The only reason I can think of is I have a very small number of addons running.

I think we're lucky, things could be much worse. You know that Renderosity logo at the top left? It displays about 290x70 pixels, but it's actually a 3392x788 png! Maybe there are plans to make the headers bigger, just in case we miss them.

Yeah, and then some wonder why a site loads so slow.

This is not an upgrade but a downgrade.

It shows too;

Less treads
Less posts
Less free stuff

Some have already left, and can be found active in other forums.

Right, so show of hands...how many of YOU have the latest, greatest computer, use IE, and whatever else the site LIKES and nothing else it doesn't?

Yeah, I bet we get lots of people that use everything the site likes ;). Sorry, but when you run a website you have to take into account old and new...just the way it is. Not everyone is running the SAME OS on the SAME kind of machine with the SAME browser.

Laurie

FWIW, I'm using a browser based on IE atm (Maxthon) and I STILL get NO forum posts in site search results. Nada, none, zip, zero....I can't find anything. It's annoying as hell cause I haven't been able to search the forums since they changed the layout.

Laurie

XP used IE version around 6 ? I would guess that's the probleam.

I like modeling in C4D best.

I have Basic C4D 9 released in the XP days there's no surprice 9's not all that great on windows 8.
There at version C4D prime 14 now.
I'm 5 versions behind.

You may be right vilters. I have a win7 laptop and I'm running Firefox. The search function works fairly well (the marketplace however is an absolute nightmare when it comes to browsing for products). Even the forum is fine for viewing with the major exception of the extra large header and footer sections on each page. I cannot say enough that the bright white color literally hurts my eyes and I have to scroll quickly downward when I go from page to page either in the forum or in the gallery to avoid the white glare. How hard is it to get those headers and footers made SMALLER and maybe a darker color??????? I don't want to leave this site, I like it here and I've been coming here for my Poser fix since 1998.

Which version of MX are you using ?

I've been using MX3 since the early betas and in ultra mode the site changes aren't giving me any problems, mind you the site didn't give me any problems before the changes either. In retro mode it's a different story as it's then based on either IE 6 or 7, instead of the webkit you get in ultra mode.

I'm using the latest one 4.xx...and it's in ultra mode. I get Freestuff, Blogs, MP, Tutorials, Articles, Newsletters....and no forum results. At all. And I searched for something I know that would come up - bagginsbill. LOL.

HTML is HTML. The days of the blink tag are (thankfully) dead.

Only three browsers are needed to aim for: FF, IE, Safari. Here's why...

Safari and Chrome both use Webkit, so if it renders well on one, it'll 99% likely render well on the other.
The deays of 'OMG lookit all those version numbers!' is dying and/or dead. Only IE is still sticking with the discreet version upgrade paradigm these days. Everyone else gets latest/greatest version automatically unless they specifically choose (and set the system) not to.
mobile sites should be designed differently and parked on (ferinstance) m.renderosity.com - mobile formats are smaller, require bigger buttons (for the touchscreen) and need to account for both landscape and portrait modes. So yeah, by necessity the UX is gonna be different.

Blecch. I'd rather masturbate with a fistful of broken glass than willingly use Windows 8.

I don't mind HTML5 and all that, or whatever innovation comes along, but I have browsers that can handle all of those and still I do not get forum search results. It's as if they removed it completely for me. Haven't been able to get any forum search results for months. Right now I'm using a browser that does webkit and I'm still not getting a damn thing.

Laurie

Nope, tried regular Opera with no addons and no extensions. I get nothing. Maybe the powers that be at Rendo should give us a clue as to their "site-approved browser list"?

FWIW, after yesterday's outage (was unable to reach it from either work or home), things seemed to have cleaned up a bit. Still have to zoom out a bit though.

Also, there's still way too much unused space in and about Free Stuff. Thinking this is AdBlock Plus' fault, I unblocked and reloaded, and, well, nope... still needs fixing...

Actually Laurie - I don't get forum posts in site searches either but that's the only thing. Screen looks fine as does the freestuff

OK, tried the site search and no forum results BUT forums are NOT listed as a search option, ergo, it's not searching them. Forum Search works as expected - perfectly even since searching for "Vickie" brings up one of my lines as result #1. Check your site search options and see if forums is even listed. AFAIK, forums used to be included in site search. Maybe they farmed it off to another server/DB for performance. Other than that, the site continues to go downhill at a rapid pace.

Hey Pengy - screw you too! Opera Rulez! It has 90% of the features built in that you have to add some (OMG will the next update break it) to FireFaux, and dude, when I use Opera's proxy, I get cool offers to hook up with hot Oslo chicks.

at 100% zoom there's a lot of empty sapce on left n right. but the banners stay to the right thou.

maybe in IE options / advanced ya can change the setting to work.

If renderosity is wrote in some code that IE8 can't read right then there's no way to fix that.

can XP run IE 10 ?

maybe if ya can run Chrome or firefox ?

I'm confused. What's wrong?

I can see the site has changed its overall color scheme since I was last around for real, but.. the free stuff looks ok (my free stuff at least) and most everything else.

As I'm more used to PHPBB forums, style-wise, I keep looking for the "new posts in forum" button at the TOP of the page instead of sorta midway down... but that's a minor thing. I can just use my bookmark that takes me to the Poser forum front and everything's fine.

Is it the "Home - Marketplace - features" ect that sends ppl into a hissy? It's light, but clearly legible here.

Oh I'm using chrome. Won't touch IE with a barge pole...
