    ...however the previous version worked fine so why break it?. This go to the bottom of the next page rubbish gets really frustrating pretty quick. Seems more like bad coding.

  • There sure is a lot of wasted space now on some of the pages where you look through props in various categories.

    The left side is mostly blank. The thumbs on the right are too tiny for old eyes like mine.

    I've been without 'normal' internet for a few months, and I thought the changes I haven't liked were only due to trying to view the site on a cell phone, which was TERRIBLE, by the way!

    It's a Christmas surprise! They get a bonus if they go out of business by March.

    ...It reminds me of a certain situation happening in the outside world that I can't discuss here.

    Yeah, the store page 'filters' seem to be taking up about a third of the horizontal space now.  It is hard to understand what they think this accomplishes.

    Well, looking thru cataract eyes, it increases the white fog I see, which creates headache, which puts me in a bad mood, which decreases my interest in spending money on products I don't really need that badly. So in the long run I shouldn't complain... Hey! I just made myself happy ;-)
    Happy Holidays!!

     You call it "wasted space," but it's actually "sustainable space" because it's a curb on color population. Of course, now the space will have to apologize for its privilege.

    i got a response the next day, but from the response it seemed like they could not reproduce the problem wiuth the page going back to #1 after viewing a product. Also , the search function on sales pages was not recognized as I was told to click the question mark on the search box on the upper right of the page and use the search criteria that comes up. That is actually pretty good and possible to find PAs the old way, but that doesn't help for sales . 
    On the small icons, it wa stated they would put that in as a feature request but I could zoom my webpage bigger.

    I think that "going back to page 1" is a problem with the browser add-on, not the official site.I've mentioned it on a number of occasions in that thread for the add-on. What I mean is that if there are several pages of items and I am on page 5 (for example) and I click on a thumbnail to view an item, when I hit the Back Key to go back to the page that I just came from (page 5) it takes me back to page 1 instead. This doesn't happen if I uninstall the browser add-on.

    He's... he's... uh... fine... heh heh, just a little Christmas humor, you know! Nothing to worry about, he'll be here same as always.

    Really gutted about the Daz Deals plugin... I suppose there's never a good time for things to go wonky, but right before Christmas (in the middle of a big sale) was unfortunate, to say the least. Not sure if I'll buy anything more until it's back up.

  • No search by wishlist, no sale.  Shockingly, I do have other things to do with my time. :-P

    For me too. And if I crank my screen size up to 150%, I can use my desktop like a giant phone, but I still only have rows of 3 with big white borders on each side. Zad: Cuz we do it backwards.

    Zad - I like it. That explains a lot, actually.

    It is a mobile site. Pull your browser edges in until they wont go any farther and it all fits in fine.

    I have just been doing a search. I searched for the term "Glamorous", and then switched sort to 'Newest First' and left 'Hide Items I Already Own' unticked. Looked for Glamorous Vicki (GV3) by Jim Burton. It's always useful to do searches where you should know the answer - you can check the search reliability. In GV3's case the SKU is 1171, so should have been on P5 of 5 in the search results. So. Why were some G8F characters on P5, below V4 characters with much lower sku's? And why was GV3 on P2 of the results? This gives me zero, zilch, nada confidence in any search I do from now on.

    *Update

    hyperlinks for coupons show. But sort by wishlist, drop down filters not showing.

    Darn

    I also am now able to use daz deals extension on chrome. For the longest time I couldn't (even before the site change) and used it on Edge. 

    To the developers of daz deals, thank you very much to get it working again.

    Yeah, I've been noticing a similar thing in the store sales pages: G2 and G3 products appearing before G8 which is only having the effect of stopping me looking for possible purchases. I don't buy G3 or G2 (or older) items any more and I usually stop looking through the pages as soon as I reach the first G3 product.

    Hello everyone! Starting this week, we’re beginning the process of testing changes and enhancements to the Daz 3D website and user experience. Our first round of testing will streamline the checkout process with a new look and easier navigation so you can get back to creating your 3D art easier and faster. After that, we’ll begin testing improvements most of the website in further rounds over the next several months. 

    Our main goals:

    • Improve customer experience with checkout and cart
    • Added clarity around products
    • Improved category system
    • Updates to search and website navigation
    • Revamped designs and user experience
    • And more to come!

    A few major pieces of the website are currently being redesigned, including the forums and gallery search, however those won't be updated this year.

    I assume the new format for the list of items in an update because it sure isn't an improvement, Nothing wrong with the old way except that sometimes the "show wishlist" box was missing. Now  2 items in each row are blanked and when I go to the next page it starts at the bottom. Am I supposed to scroll bottom to top? If so there is no advance at the top. If you want 5 items per row instead of 6/7 like it was, why not just make bigger icons. While you are doing that I would like to be able to ad an item to wishlist from this page.

  • My product library on the website is showing up completely empty of products. Is this part of the website updating process? My products still show up in DAZ Studio 4.15.02. Thanks.
