It seems to be getting slower and slower to load up anything on renderosity.com over the past few weeks...
Only here seems to be affected all other sites operate and load normally..
That's all

Same problem here! It's slow to the point of me just giving-up visiting this site! The new RO site is a prime example of fixing something that wasn't broken!
Among the issues I have:
No more e-mail notifications when your favorite artists post a new work to their galleries.
No more e-mail notifications when your work is favorited by someone.
In the new postings (under Galleries ---> What's New), thumbnails do not mention what gallery they are posted to.
Thumbnails are not aligned horizontally as they used to, making it difficult to skim through a gallery.
The old system used to give you the number of 'Full Size Views' for each work. This is important stat and it's no longer in the new system.
For each work there is now a 'Like' button and a 'Favorite' button. What is the difference?
The interface is inconsistent. For example to go from one page to the next, some galleries give you a row of page numbers that you click on, and in some other galleries you must scroll to the bottom of the page to activate the spinning wheel that takes you the next page.
When a comment is posted to your work, you must manually mark it as read for it to be removed from the list of notifications. The old system was doing this automatically.
In the old system, the items on sale were the first things that were displayed when you entered the site home page. Now when you enter the site you are flooded with a ton of information (most of which I don't care about), and it is very difficult ti figure-out what is going on. Net result: Since RO switched to the new site, I have not bought a single item from them because the new site makes buying decisions very difficult.

Hello @dr_bernie and @Wonga- I really am sorry you're having site issues. I've brought this issue to the programmers and they're looking into it.
We no longer have e-mail notifications. Instead, you'll find site notifications. We did this because several members were complaining about receiving too many emails. Additionally, the programmers are working on improving the gallery overall.
Thank you!

Hi @DUDU.car-- Would you mind explaining a bit further? What's for the gallery only? Thanks!

Yes, for me , it's the place where we can publish our renders. Sorry if I don't really understand because my language is french, but I really don't have any problems with this new version of the site.
