"It was answered long before that. Everything you’ve dredged up unnecessarily was previously brought up and addressed in another thread which became similarly nonsensical as it got derailed by similar diatribes. To sum up, if you don’t like it then simply ignore it."
No one needed an answer to this because it was already answered in my post. Your response is just to be a troll and talk down to people who have questions that actually want to be answered.
Also it was brought up long before I brought it up, yet it still seems like a stupid idea the way it's used. Because if it wasn't, there wouldn't be so much responses to my "Second" thread on the subject.
"It’s really no surprise to me that those who consistently and loudly express their displeasure with nearly everything are also the least helpful in offering substantive and useful> suggestions on potential ways to improve things."
I haven't seen anyone complain about my suggestions except the people who make these posts. I have a lot better ideas than what I've posted prior but I know you guys wouldn't want to do it so I never bothered to post them (because I wouldn't want to do it either). I'm not sure how capable the site manager is at HTML, CSS, Javascript, jquery or WordPress to want to bother implementing it.
1 - You could make a scrolling site banner (This could be annoying to keep up to date).
Throw that in a DIV with a z-index of like 20 or whatever and just put pictures of everything that's coming soon. But it would be annoying to update this every time new content comes and goes unless there's a backend that can control the submitting and removal of coming soon content. You might even be able to put the WordPress post listing in there and it would update as new content comes. But removing is another subject. I don't know how the backend of this site works.... So that something you need to figure out.
2 - Make a Popup DIV (that aligns to the right) with all the upcoming post with a scroll which people can close out on the homepage.
3 - Make a scrolling or fading text in the top Nav bar with a list of all the coming soon items. There's room on the very top next to the user name for that...
4 - On the homepage make a right side DIV\section where you can scroll through all the upcoming content. This would be the similar to the Popup Div but can not be close.
And this is on top of the other suggestions that you ignored. So don't act like people aren't giving suggestions. I have a feeling you didn't even read any of my post in this thread or my prior thread to see why I made this in the first place.
It sounds to me you just wanted to come to berate anyone for questioning why is this being used on this site. After it was explained to me I gave suggestions.
"To date virtually every statement against this feature has amounted to “but it’s confusing to me” or “I don’t like it because I want the item right now!"
Once again You haven't read why I posted in the first thread. It has nothing to do with being confused. It's about delaying post that people forget and people just grabbing it on other sites after the fact.
My suggestion was to hold on to it until you're ready to post it. It had nothing to do with wanting it right away, or paying extra points to get it right away. Don't confuse me for someone who wants these things for free day one.
Like I said before I don't care when it's release here.
I made this because this stupid feature just makes the post library congested with useless post until said useless post is released. Which is why I said make a "new tab" to move it out of the "all post" section.
Will you look at that, a suggestion!
"If anyone actually has genuinely helpful suggestions or considerations on this topic it would make more sense to communicate them directly to the staff in private messages."
For one I would think that the "Staff" would be to busy to answer this question every time it's "privately" asked over and over again. Why bother them with the 1 millionth ask of why is this being used? When you can ask one for those millionth why?
I could ask Monk or any of the others why this is being used but I don't like taking up their time even if it might seem like an important thing to ask. I posted this because I know someone else out there knows why it's being implemented but I also want to know what other people think about it.
I'm sure there's people who can explain why things are done the way it's done with out talking down to the asker and is willing to actually read other people suggestions and not assume the reason it's being asked is because people want to not buy themselves or use points to get said items.
"It’s that simple. It would be really wonderful if people could return to conducting themselves like grownups and not like toddlers throwing tantrums because they didn’t get a toy they want."
You ever read what you write? Because it almost seems like you're looking in the mirror when you're posting your response. You want to sound like a grown up but you sound just like a toddler yourself. So I think you should leave this subject alone because it has nothing to do with the title of "my" post\thread.
I don't want to get my thread locked again you know...
It was answered in an older post that got blocked. It has to do with purchasing something from a vendor then turning around right after and posting it soon after. They're saying that a savvy person can look at a date and time of a post and track it back to the relative date and time of a purchase.
From AnjaBear
"The idea that we can post something with a “STARTING DOWNLOAD DATE” to me seems to solve a couple of issues for those of us who post.
1) We don’t release the item near the date of release, and
2) The product is ALREADY IN THE BLOG, preventing duplications, as it is already in the queue."Which is why I suggest putting those post in a different section of the site. Make another tab at the top of the site. Why do we need a tab with both Community and F.A.Q? Why not put both of those under a tab called "Help".
Then make a tab called "coming soon" and throw all those empty post under that tab so it doesn't clutter the "All Post".
Also do anyone even use the Activity tab? There's a lot of poor navigation choices in the Nav bar.
@Helion
That's the point I'm trying to make. This delayed posting stuff just makes people forget about it and half the time the only way they remember it was suppose to be release is when it shows up on other sites.
So that's just a waste of points from those who would have just grabbed it the day it was posted on the site.
I said it before there's no point to doing this coming soon crap because if it was really to prevent "buying post tracking" they could just simply use a wordpress feature where the post wont appear until said date, no preview bullcrap.
This is just a pointless trolling exercise now. Because there's clearly better ways to achieve this security issue that they want to deal with.
But if they want coming soon post for everything lets have coming soon for everything! OLD and NEW!
You know what lets just post everything old and new at a later date.
If that's what people think is the best why bother only doing it for new items. Lets just do it for all items new and old.
I'll just wait for it to appear on 3Dload, renderstate, 3dcu or the myriad of other sites that post zonegfx stuff at a later date..
Why waste my points waiting for it on zonegfx. It's going to appear there sooner or later anyway. I'll just know it's coming because of the 2 weeks advance notice from zonegfx.
I could careless.
I'm trying to help the new item post out by telling you that these kinds of post just get thrown to the waist side and people forget it's being release only to notice it elsewhere.
Then people just grab it where they see it.
But if you guys want to troll and think that's great, sure do you.
One more thing, I'm not sure you guys get the meaning of this phrase
"grab it where they see it"
But seeing how you're doing what you're doing I guess you know what's best.
You seem to think care about the tease of the item? I could careless.
My concern is the waste of post listing for empty post. I can give a damn if it's release the day it's in the store or next year for that matter, I don't care.
I understand the technical issues with posting right after purchase.
What I'm trying to say is don't put preview post in the list of post that are available to download. Move it out of that category altogether (or preferably get rid of the idea). It's just a bunch of wasted clutter.
The fact that I forget that something was suppose to be released it doesn't matter to me one bit. It gets lost in the shuffle big deal I'm going to see it on some other site on their available to download page when it's ready anyway. Then I'm like "Oh yeah that was suppose to be released... But I'm here anyway might as well just grab it".
If you don't want to release it day one. Don't make a post saying it's coming out in 2 weeks. Just hold on to it and keep it at that.
In fact! I know WordPress has a post option that lets your post appear at a given time or date without it showing until said date.
Why not just use that?? Don't give us this preview bull crap with empty pages. There's no excuse for using it.
This is not needed at all.
Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs
https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-body-morphsHD Body Shapes for Genesis 8 Female
https://www.daz3d.com/hd-body-shapes-for-genesis-8-femaleYeah, it's just a dumb gimmick. lol. If you don't want to post it right away. Hold on to it.
It does nothing for anyone who see it.
Yeah I mean?
It's posted no one can do anything with it. Then people forget about it and it ends up on other sites and people just get it there first instead of getting it when it's first posted?
It's just stupid??
Just post or hold it until you want to release it? Why clog up the posts with stuff people cant access to begin with?
They really need to get rid of this feature or move it to a whole new tab or something call coming soon or something. But get it out of the All Post list.
Well you can find people if you use the information they posted here. But if the person no longer logs on to the site. That's a different story.
Well I'm glad I made this post because I had a really hard time trying to figure out how to find people.
So it's very helpful all-round.
Ahh so is Riza (Adelasia) is dead account? Because a few of their new post are dead links. Going to try and contact them. Thanks for the help.
@littlepleasures
I wasn't talking about the clothes I was talking about the character morphs. A prime example of this is:
Shirley Lee Character with Hair for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Female
Or these:
Haman Karn For G8FWhich is annoying because you want the clothes but you have to install the character to get it, because they know people don't want to buy the characters because of how laggy it makes your PC. And I know you can go in to your morphs folder to remove the morphs but it's really annoying.
As for the Iray yeah it maybe basic but to produce the results you need in 1/10 the time it takes to do something similar in another render engine or program is what makes it better in my opinion. The last I remember people who pay you don't care about the engine you use but the time it takes you to get the the final result.
If any other render engine or program out there can produce the ease and speed of Daz I would be using it in a heartbeat. Granted Daz animation and Dforce is a whole other problem itself. But for me it's all about putting down an environment, a prop, a character, and a render setting and I'm done.
JessicaGet me to that in any other program in the same amount of time and I'll never look at Daz Studio again.
... I need to stop complaining and just do that damn Donut Tutorial in blender already...
Speaking of blender you guys have any beginner tutorials channels on YouTube you can recommend? I'm really starting from Scratch.
My problem with Genesis 8 is loading time for importing the model into the program. It's more of a Morph issue than a Render issue.
I've notice Genesis 8 clothes are bundled with a lot of characters and it's the worst thing because every model you add to your library slows down the use of the figure with in the program.
Instead of making 8.1 it would have been better to create a version 9 with the efficiency of Genesis 3.
I'm at the point that every character they make I don't even bother looking at them anymore. Which is why I find Genesis 8.1 pointless.
As for Iray. I have yet to see a render engine that's as easy to use and capable of rendering even the crappiest of model and still make it look realistic. That's the one thing I give Daz over any other 3D program out there.
Daz Studio is like a Sims game that can make near realistic images without banging a nail in your brain to produce photo realistic results. Every time I submit a render to Getty images they keep asking me for a model release and I keep having to tell them "Yo, this isn't a real person!" and that's using Genesis 3.
The program camera interface and animation ability on the other hand is as bad as burning hemorrhoid.
I'll be honest if another render engine out there comes out with the same ease of use and is able to be use on more than just Nvidia cards I would be quick to start using it over Iray any day though.
