    Every day of 2020 seems like a month so "by the end of the year" seems like way way in the future.

    That's true. And at this point literally anything could happen between now and Dec 31.surprise

    Heck, recently I'm afraid what I'm going to read in the papers each morning.  This ain't the Age of Aquarius I was promised.sad

    Radical changes usually start with a crisis, which breaks the inertia of the old system.  Order > chaos > new order.  Though I don't think that's necessary for software updates.

    True... without a giant asteroid DAZ would be run by sentient velociraptors... and based on the way world stuff is going, it will soon enough be run by sentient cockroaches or mutant spiders or something fun like that.

    And that would be worse how?

    Well, cockroach based skimpwear for one. 
    Mutant spiders can be kinda sexy, so I'm a bit undecided on that, but cockroach skimpwear... no thanks.

    Now for a moment of seriousness...

    You know what I'd love to see?

     

    Download file size.

     

    Unless I'm totally hallucinating a rosier memory of the halcyon days of the old store*, that used to be a thing until it wasn't.

    It should be on the product page, not in some other area or be something we have to ask other DAZers about and not something where you have to buy the item to find out and "if you don't like that it's so big, return it".

    Not everyone has a liquid nitrogen cooled super computer and doesn't care about how big a particular bit of content is.

    It's kind of a thing I'd imagine many people are still curious about when shopping.

     

     

     

    *Totally possibly, I hallucinate lots of stuff.

    I did some research and maybe you have a point.

    Among the things that have been listed above as "wrong", add to them this.  I just started a reply to a thread and changed my mind.  So, having learned that to get rid of it I had to delete my "draft".  So, when I opened my "drafts" (which I knew was empty), I found two drafts  in there that were not mine.  WTF surpriseno  Either that or my senility has made a big jump in the last 24 hours.  I went ahead and deleted them which will probably result in changing the avatar images of 27 random people.devil

    That would be better than the non-sentient cockroaches we have now.

    haven't encountered captcha here yet... AND I HOPE I WON'T. my patience is short, and when i'm upset, i just close a page, and the more it happens, the less i'll visit the site.

    I wonder what would happen if we tried to modify the drafts of those other people.devil

    That happened once to me too... I went to delete a bunch of half written drafts and regurgitated drafts (duplicate ones that show up after you make a post) and I read the post and went back to delete it confused as to when and why I would write something that was far more knowledgeable about content and products than I am, just as I was about to confirm deleting it I realized the thread was one I know I never visit. 
    I'm pretty sure I mentioned it at some point and I think at least one other person said it happened to them too... unless that was you... you are still a person, but in that case it was just you and me who I've know to have mentioned this.

    Also it's possible I was having an out of body experience and accidentally deleted someone else's draft while I was temporarily possessing their body.

    good thing it has never happened to an evil joker like me then, the potential to edit someone elses post could prove very tantalising devil

    Note that the drafts may contain comments from other people you have quoted.   Same is true for "Your Posts".  Anything in the editor will be included when you save the draft, and will be shown in the same order when you view it in "My Drafts".

    Right now, I am looking at the People and Wearables sets that are being offered for free with the new Kwan bundle. I have it set to sort by "New Arrivals". Yikes this is bad. So Victoria 4 Starter Bundle was apparently released before Brute 8? Hmm...didn't know that. There is absolutely no order to this page! Genesis Evolution Shapes, which is Genesis ONE is also on this page, along with various Genesis 2 bundles, with some Genesis 3 and 8 sprinkled in. What is the deal with this? The sorting function doesn't even work at all. Just look at this, is there any form of coherency to this?

    Select "Sort By New Arrivals" again. I used to select another sort order first, but it seems I don't need to jump the extra hoop.

    Yay.   <waves postage stamp on a toothpick>

    Give Magento its due, at least it's sort-of consistent — the pages where the sort order loads broken (apparently mostly these temp sale listing pages) stay broken, and the ones where it works stay working. Mostly.

    What a way to run a railroad...

    I got prompted with Captcha for the first time last night, which made me wonder if some changes had already occurred. Check the box to prove I was human, and mark 2 sets of images with trains.

     

    Dear god, I certainly hope you are joking.

     

    Whoever created Captcha should be locked in a cage with rabid wolves and banished to the darkest recesses of the Phantom Zone.

     

    I certainly don't want THAT nonsense to deal with as I come here too often to muck about with it.

    I once missed a Chvrches concert because I couldn't get past a captcha to buy the ticket. This may be what sends me back to Poser: inability to prove I'm not a bot.

    Somehow, finding that even Amazon can't get something as simple as "Sort by Price" to work gives me a strange sense of relief...

    Have some of the changes already started? For the last couple of days I've been able to see today's new items on the store main listing page without having to click in and out of another store page first; that's been an annoyance for over a year. There's also a new (and IMHO duller and plainer-looking) page footer, and for a while tonight (it seems to have stopped now) I was seeing the "Download Daz Studio" link in the page header duplicated, colliding with the Search box and pushing the entire menu line down to below the DAZ logo. I'd been wondering why all my page clicks tonight were jumping down a bit while building each page display.

    The duplicated Download Daz Studio was there for me too - they got rid of it in the meantime, it looks like.
