I've already e-mailed DAZ about this, but being the weekend, I won't hear anything until at least Monday, but has anyone experienced any problems with the new Flash page on DAZ? I can't view it. Not at home, not at work, not anywhere. When I wait until the page loads, I get an error message that tells me my security settings won't allow Direct X to run. When I click off the error message, I just get a blank white space where the Flash should be. I've tried changing my security setting to everything possible, including turning it off entirely, but I still can't run it. For a long time now, I've been adamantly against Flash. I hate it. I don't know why people use it. It's annoying and slows down my machine (yup, I'm still one of those with a 56K dial-up modem because I can't afford a high monthly DSL or cable bill right now). Because of the new Flash page on DAZ, I can't seem to get anywhere in there anymore. I click on the little "here" to get into the store, but I can't seem to get anywhere else. Where'e their main page, where you could find their contact information and navigate to other parts of the site? The icons at the top don't really work well. The square that is supposed to lead to the galleries goes to the Flash page that I can't view. No galleries. I'd like to see if they've displayed the winners of the Medieval dragon contest, but I can't even find the galleries at all. Whose bright idea was it to mess up the site like this? Don't get me wrong. I'm probably the world's biggest DAZ fan. I LOVE them. But their site has been rendered totally user unfriendly with this new layout. Rant, rant, rant! Sorry. I don't mean to dump my frustration on everyone, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one who can't get around in there or are there others here who would rather see the old entry to the site brought back. My sister can't get into it either, by the way. Any comments? Melanie PS: I am able to navigate between the Premier and Platinum areas OK, and I can find the Free Section, but I just can't find the gallery or their company info (contact e-mail addresses, employee bios, etc.)
