First feedback: the new design of the site is EXTREMELY slow.

There's a new design? I thought the CSS broke...
Loads instantly for me, except one product seems to be missing the cover image.
Yeah, CSS definitely broke. The sales pages have massive layout issues at the moment...
Very problematic. Some spots are simply unoccupied, the 'new' strip is off to the side, and the non-discounted price isn't shown now.
I do not like. I hope this is simply a break, not a 'new design'......
Can we see some screen grabs please.
You all are correct, there were a couple of changes made to tweak the design, but the "new" banner being off in space and some of the other things were not intentional.
We are on it and will be pushing up the fixes very soon. Thank you for pointing it out to us.
Should be fixed up on the main store pages now. One of the sales still looks a bit weird, but if you see anything off on the main pages please let me know.
Yes, everything seems to look fine aside from that one sales page. Thanks!
The new whitespace on the sides and headers will take some getting used to...
+1 to this. You can't scroll below the 3rd or 4th row, it becomes so slow.
Oh, and the original price is not shown in the category view if the product is on sale.
I can confirm that set to ALL the shop is unresponsive, set to 120 it improves, but some pictures are still MIA. The Whats Hots eats up even more screen real estate - it was a waste of space before now it is an even bigger waste of space - have to scroll down a whole screen before you start to see the the content. Give us an option to hide it totally so we can get to the new content...
Seriously agree with this. While every now and then I'll look through what others are buying, that's just curiosity.
I really don't need or want this info every time I visit the shop. One strip, OK, whatever, two is taking up way too much screen space.
I'll repeat what I said back on the FIRST iteration of this travesty. I'm on dial-up at home and I'm tired of just getting black non-clickable rectangles that take me three, four, sometimes five page reloads to see what is new. And I have never used (and will not use) "What's Hot" - it is a waste of connect time, download bandwidth, and screen space -- check my order history; I'm one of the people who put products on the "What's Hot" banner.
I've saved these images for a while; this looks like a good time to post them - first, 'store with links'; every now and then I get a store page that looks like this before it flashes over to the unuseable placeholder crap. This I can use, even if the product images don't load. Normally, what I get is 'store without links' which will eventually get me about a 90% fill of the placeholders - but never the new items for the day. Third is a sample featured item page after three reloads (and five minutes of no network activity) Please explain how I find out what the missing items are.
The original prices are back.
I actually thought you were joking or mistaken when you mentioned that there were two rows of 'What's Hot?' now. Why would they do that? As well as being an inconvenience to have to scroll past every time, it would just look plain daft - a row of scrolling images that's so inefficient at scrolling far enough that there's got to be another one beneath it. Then I looked, and saw it. And it does look plain daft and will be an inconvenience to have to scroll past every time. The products at the end of the second row might have been hot once, but they must be barely lukewarm by now.
This. Big time. I have zero interest in what others are buying. All this does is chew up screen real estate that could be put to much more productive use in another way. I ignore it, I scroll past it. One carousel for this is annoying - two is seriously irritating. I don't make purchase decisions based on what other people buy. I make purchase decisions based on what I, personally, need for my art. This What's Hot thing takes up far too much screen space.
Another vote for zero interest on what others are buying. Don't care and does absolutely nothing to influence my own personal purchases.
If you want to see what other people are buying, you can sort by Trending Now or Most Popular. I agree with the sentiment that What's Hot is an annoying waste of space and time.
Speaking of which, the dynamic loading of store item pics frequently locks up with the spinning circle if a particular page has too many pics to load. For instance, the $4 sale catchup had numerous empty icons and had to refresh frequently to get them to appear. It wasn't as bad as in the past with the huge store events but it's still something to look into. Perhaps it's limited by the number of sockets in a person's browser?
Wow, talk about annoying!
This change was necessary, exactly, why?
I find the rolling banners annoying even in the regular search function, and ALWAYS go for the "See more" option, because it's annoying to have to scroll through all that content rather than be able to see it nicely layed out on the page. And that's when I am searching stuff. But the "what's hot..." it's totally useless.
Because I'm annoyed as hell, I decided to empty my cart and not buy anything for a while.
Download and run Adblock Plus.
Click on the icon wherever it appears on your browser, in Opera it is top right, and in the drop down menu click on Block Element.
Move it off the window that appears and hover the cursor over the banner so it is highlighted, not just one image but the whole banner, click on it and poof it's gone.
I no longer see the banner with what's new :)
Totally agree. 1 row always displayed was already annoying enough....
The really sad thing is that even on a decent DSL line, I've found sites that "upgrade" how they look do so without regard for what the vast majority of users want look worse than what they did initially.
One more post, then I'm out of here - this is what I get on my laptop; as you can plainly see there are no items in the store, just the banner line and the two "What's Hot" - and no, I'm not going to waste time scrolling down. You want me to buy something, present it on the first screen.
Now I'm off to see if I can come up with something in greasemonkey to strip out the "what's new" (my adblock plus does not give me a 'block element' option).
I have used Adblock for a long while and the option to hide an element has always been there. Perhaps it is different for different browsers.
This is what I see and I have clicked on the Adblock icon so you can see the option.
Turns out it's an add-on to ABP -- and it seems to work quite nicely; THANKS!
Another bit of randomness, don't know if it actually is related to the site tweaks.
I'm seeing something weird every time I log on to the store from the store main page; after the usual short wait while the login is negotiated, I'm never sure which page I'll see next. Every now and then it's the same page I was on, sometimes it's Fastgrab or my Account page, and the other day I actually logged in and was taken to the Forums page (then auto-logged in to the forums).
<headdesk>
I don't get the two rows of What's Hot thing. It's ugly, it's hard to read (is #2 across, or down? Do they alternate, or are they just two rows pasted there?)
I actually liked the What's Hot thing as a quick 'at a glance' reference.
This new change is excessive and a design travesty.
