I do miss one thing. The ability to mark just ONE Forum as READ instead of the whole site. I so miss that.
And The Blue marked as downloaded, I liked that one also.
EDIT: The Item Purchased thing sounds easy to add. But I could be 100% wrong, it depends on the function’s the new software has in the command code. It should be as simple as get Items Database Number at Add to cart. Get Users Database number for Itemized Download history, Query IDH database for Item number in cart set flag 0 does not exist or 1 exists. If Flag equals 1 Warn user Item was purchased before. If you do not wish to purchase again please remove item from cart. As said I have zero knowledge of the code used or if the function’s exist to do this with.
It has been explained, several times, that Daz3D is in the process of changing from installers to zip files. Once the entire catalogue is converted there will be no need for a filter to show only PC or only Mac files, because there will be just one generic file which will work with both platforms.
So instead of wating time progarmming a short lived filter they are using the time to do other things which are needed.
How long will that take, 4 months?, 6 months? a year? Considering how many files need to be converted in that catalogue we’ll be lucky if it happens by next June if that. It would have been easier to have the option at launch and then switch over to zip files when they are done and ready. At this rate I may never get everything reinstalled due to dying of old age because its taking forever to do them.
Greetings,
I’ve been getting in-page notifications of stuff I’ve bought for weeks now. ‘Course I had to build the infrastructure to do it myself. Anybody else can use it, if you want to, though.
While I am sure DAZ is working hard on improving the site, I thought a list of some of the top things that are missing that I found essential at the old site might prove helpful. These are not in any particular order.
1. End dates of sales on the product pages. This was a huge help in planning purchases.
2. The filter on the Wishlist page that let me see just the items that were on sale.
3. The purchased item list loading by purchase date. I keep my purchases in an Excel worksheet and used to be able to just copy and paste a whole order in at once. Now I have to piece it together bit by bit. I shudder to think what is going to happen when I have a huge order.
4. Being able to filter out the Mac downloads (maybe vice versa for others). With large orders, it really makes it difficult to see what still needs to be DL’d. Ditto for #5.
5. The blue color that showed that something had been downloaded on the Download page.
Otherwise, I think overall the site is looking pretty good, and I have not had any problems with any orders (knock on wood).
Heck, yeah—although, in fairness, I should point out that DAZ HAS been slowly adding functionality to the store, so I would expect these items to eventually be implemented.

I’m using Chrome, with my own plugin and 3dwishlist.com, a multi-purpose DAZ store tool I built myself, but am happy to let others use.

I’m on Chrome, it must be your custom items that get it working. Right now I’m wanting on a Support Ticket that needs resolved badly. I’ll pop back on this topic after I get the help I need. Thank you for the offer.

Good point! While the “S” word was not mentioned, it is still DAZ and the “S” word is already assumed.
I haven’t done any programming in years, but I am thinking that as long as both stores were written in the same code, some of the things I listed should be fairly cut and paste.
I did notice that although an administrator did touch on the zip filter, none of the other features was mentioned. Does this mean that they are on someone’s To-Do-List (like the zips which were discussed for years before the new software) and may arrive sometime before interstellar travel or not planned on at all?
I miss the ‘related items’ part that gave you hotlinks to texture sets, etc on items.
Yeah. I would have thought that the links on the right side would lead to related items, but they don’t. I am not sure how those are chosen, but a couple of times they have been some very old products (not related to the current selection).
Here is another one to add to the list that is getting more and more annoying as I post in some threads here.
-Getting notifications of replies to a thread you are “subscribed” to. I get maybe 2 notifications to replies even to a thread I created. Kind of defeats the purpose of “subscribing” (got to love that wording of it now) to watch a thread for replies and comments.
By the way with the “subscribing” to a thread is there a fee to we have to pay to get more than the 2 notifications on replies?
