One thing that I am noticing is, it appears that when you do a store search, the products from some vendors get preference over others, no matter what sorting filter you use. When I did the v4 clothing models conforming search, the vast majority of the products were from one vendor. Granted the one vendor does put out a lot of clothing. I am using the newest to oldest filter and there are newer clothing from other vendors that also match the search that should show up. I was also getting products that were not for V4. Bottom line is the store search still sucks, the marketplace still sucks.

End result, customer will have to adapt to a system they do not like or move on, which is what I am doing. Tomorrow will be the first of August and it will be the first time I go over a month without spending a dime in the Renderosity Marketplace. It will most likely be that way until the site changes either management,  the layout or both.

There are some nice things about the new layout, but the overall experience is severely lacking. The negatives far outweigh the positives. You can see from the amount of negative threads and comments all over the forums that there are more people who are unhappy with the new site in general than there are people who like it.

You may say that the programmers are working on fixing the font colors, that is a start but the font colors are not the biggest problems the site has. I am more than sure that the site will go through yet another overhaul within a few weeks to a few months. Hopefully when that happens the site will return to its former glory.

When I visit any other site, Daz, RDNA, Content Paradise, Hive Wire, Renderotica even. I can usually find what I need without having to navigate through a maze. I can jump from one category and figure to another without leaving the page I am in. If I want to see what hair sets are available for V4 and then M4 right after, I can. Everything I could possibly want to look at is accessible from one page. There is no way to do that here other than the store search and the store search sucks. The store search does not just suck. It's the worst I have used. I have had better luck finding a product for the store using google. 

Having every product I click on open up in a new tab is terrible! Personally I don't just navigate one site at a time. I have usually other tabs open from other sites. I don't need Renderosity adding to my browsers already taxed work load.

Another thing that this site use to have that other sites still have, is better product information. I can't even tell if a product is compatible with studio or not. Before, whenever I opened a readme file it would download automatically. Now it opens in a new tab. If I want to download it I have to right click and save link as. Not really a big deal but still inconvenient.

It seems to me that the site if more focused on promoting the Prime Membership than actually getting things fixed.

One thing that did get fixed from the last batch of updates is the add to cart and add to wish list buttons. Having the wish list button be bigger than the add to cart button was stupid.
