    Same here. Unless thereis a great coupon (or maybe a super reduced flash sale) I may be savinhg my pennies for another day.

    I was a bit surprised that Josephene 8 Pro didn't hold up a bit longer as a 'Key' item and I'm not going to buy an item I I don't need from Today's New Releases just to get a little extra discount.

    Okay, so no scrolling banner anymore. In a way, that's good. In another way... does that mean we won't have 6-7-8 sales at the same time?

    The title of this thread is my mantra today. I had a cart of my top 10 items last night that, with the discounts, was $25.00... but I can't even justify spending that right now so I didn't... and today the same cart is $116 !! *TEARS* There's always another sale, there's always another sale, there's always another sale!!!  

    There is! :) And there will most likely also be at least one more catch-up sale. If the great price was due to stacking discounts, then you may have to wait a little longer, but there usually is another sale. :)

    Thanks, Ati :) Really kind of you. Perhaps I should start utilizing Daz as a tool to strengthen my self-discipline haha, like one of these mindfulness apps!

    Also, yes, THIS!! Where did the flash sale banners go?? And does this signal the end of the saletastic Daz we all know and love? (Hopefully we won't have to tune in next week to find out) #Dazbutnotasweknowit

    Today's sale page is inaccessible now. As well as the flash sales that have just started.

    Let's hope it's a transition. What you describe would be unfortunate!

    Odd. I had no problems accessing the pages. A CloudFail issue, maybe?

    This is how the shop banners looks for me, and it doesn't scroll:

    ^ I was just about to post that @Torquinox ! I am seeing the same. I'm hoping this is just an error due to the Daz team working safely from home ATM. The flash codes still seem to be working though and can be found in the Flash Sale thread thanks to the speedy people who keep that updated for the community.

    Great minds! :) I'm guessing this is temporary, but somebody did some work to get it to look like that. :/

    It looks good, but missing most of the stuff that we used to have in the scrolling banner. The daily sale, for example. :D

    Mine's normal

    Do you have the scrolling banner on the shop page? For me, there's just a static set of four banners, and it doesn't include the daily sale or the newly started flash sales.

    Yes it scrolls left to right as usual

    I wonder if location is a factor I'm in the Rio Grande Valley (Harlingen,Texas)

    Interesting. Maybe a cloudflare issue, then. Or Daz is A/B testing. If so, the new format is missing some vital banners and links! :D

    Possibly, his page is cached and hasn't updated.

    Agreed! Substance over style please, Daz ;)

    Perhaps someone in the great Daz machine is currently at home banging their head against the keyboard! But I think they've done a pretty great job of keeping everything flowing for us so far, all considering :)

    Or it is the moving one that was cached, now I too have the motionless banner up top and the links are not all there. Flash sales are not mentioned either.

    update: Now the end section on the left side has arrows, and one can control the motion :-) Flash banners show there :-)

  • One computer, using MS Edge, shows the classic page style.  The other computer, using firefox, shows the new style.

    I like the new layout in that it's more compact. But, I do hope the links to the March Madness and the Platinum Club are fixed soon. (including those links here, for now, in case someone is looking for them)

    Yes, I've got the slider arrows now too and the Flash Sales are back! Woohoo! Also love the layout now -- it's super slick! :D 

     

    Now... if only I actually wanted something from these flash sale banners!! XD

    Yes, the rotating part of the banner could use some kind of pause function though? Click to pause for 30 seconds, or a button to pause it entirely. Just.. something?

    It looks like the special offers for Josephene 8 are gone, though. They only lasted six days, not even quite a week,.

    My storefront page is normal with the scrolling banner. TBH thoubh I'm really interested in seeing the products used in that Wonder Woman promo. D:

  • Robert FreiseRobert Freise Posts: 4,573

    Have cleared out my browsing history restarted every computer in the house and I have the same store display that I have always had as posted in the image previously It's also the same in Firefox and in Opera I don't allow Edge to open on any of my systems

  • NathNath Posts: 2,940

    I see the alternate layout in Opera (with the VPN set to US), and the regular one in Firefox.

    The Holy Cow coupon link doesn't show Jack Tomalin's items although it does work on non-Pc+ items. 

  • AtiAti Posts: 9,182

    So it's half static, half scrolling now. Not bad, but my initial problem is that there's no way to know how many sales there are. With the scrolling-only banner, you could see at a glance if there were lots of sales or just a few. Now you have to click through the scrolling part to see how many there are.

    The scrolling section at the beginning (left) cycles automatically for me in Chrome. I do not have to click the arrows. It is similar to the way the whole banner used to automatically scroll. I like the new format, except the text is now too small to read. It lives up to the "fine print" description, for sure.
