At least for me under Firefox, the page format has changed. I do NOT like it. There are no boarders on the sides. There is no details button anymore to check the artist's description of the item. Just a green download button. Who thought this was a good idea for formatting?!

If you click on the pic link, it takes you the description page the way the details button used to.  I don't like this format either. I wish the programmers would leave well enough alone.

Agreed.  Sometimes a table format looks better without 'rules' between the cells.  This one definitely looked better with the 'rules'.

The no-rules table seems to be a big fashion lately.  BAD fashion.

I used to be very vocal about these "changes to change" without improvement.
I have given up. 

Just like here, facebook, and every where else these days.

*"We are advertising, that we are going to advertise in advertisements that we are going to advertise in adverstisements". *

Yeah yeah, yeah, we know by know that you are going to advertise in advertisements to advertise.  Can we at least have half the page to stay usefull? Thank you.

Do not worry, it is coming to the saturation point where any ad is a automatic mental block to be certain NOT to buy. Enough is enough.

And that Windows 8 color tile thing? ? ? Hey, I am 54, not 5.

Do not think many 5 year olds play with Poser. LOL.

My guess it's to make it more "Mobile Friendly", but basically they are telling us who use the site on a destop to **** Off.  Who downloads free 3D models to their phone? :rolleyes:

They should set up seperate mobile pages like amazon...

Mobile friendly? ?
Who did the market study on that? ? ?

Poser Freestuff on a mobile phone or tablet? ? A Windows mobile phone or tablet? ?
99% is on Android or Orange.

(Oh, it's an Apple) . LOL.

Some one is having another wet dream and solving problems that never existed.

Or? ? The webmaster is age 5 and likes colored tiles?

Give it some time, I'm sure the whole site will end up looking like this eventually.

Y'know, I actually do surf the forums from my smartphone when I'm out & about, but I would rather have to zoom in to read things on my phone occasionally than deal with this kind of formatting on my desktop all the time.

Could be worse, imagine something like this..:) And therein lies in the problem, modern devs and advertisers are so hung up on the desire for "appification" they forget about concepts such as useability and end purpose. Stuff that Nielsen discovered back when Poser was a toddler. Take for example freestuff pages, not just here, but at any other site. The purpose is to showcase and drive traffic to the store pages. Where ultimately the customer will want to spend millions so all the sellers can buy learjets and yachts :) Problem is if all a customer sees is a single large image, in effect saying "buy this", they'll ignore it. Keep doing it, especially with the same image and theres a good danger of inadvertent mental blocking aka "banner blindness". Worse still is those technically adept souls who'll get annoyed they'll simply block all adverts. Either way the purpose is lost. So give us some good design. Tempt us, tease us, even challenge our conventions. But please not another anodyne version of faceb*llocks/twitter/whatever's perceived as hot this week.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

BTW - nothing personal there towards the designers of the new pages. Just think as artists and designers we should be more original and stop following the false mantra that social media and that sorta design is the only solution.

Appification.... struck a sore spot.  Right now I'm trying to "appify" my old courseware, which was well established and well liked in freestanding Win EXE form.  It ran quickly and smoothly and reliably.  Now the "app" version is supposed to run on all sorts of semi-compatible devices which may suddenly become incompatible at any millisecond, and it's supposed to look good in a very small format, which is completely inappropriate for an Anatomy Study Guide.  

Pretty much an impossible set of constraints, but FASHION COMES BEFORE UTILITY.
