Weighing in...
I face many of the problems already stated above, and the ones that really bugged me are the horribly stretched thumbnails and the cropped model images. I really would like a return to the old method of retaining the aspect ratio of pictures and doing a resize to fit the frame.
Problems not mentioned so far (to my knowledge) are:
- I like to use Facebook to advertise designs, and I like the thumbnail that appears on Facebook whenever I share a link to a Shapeways model. As of this new update thumbnails don't appear on Facebook.
- I don't mind the 'from' price showing on My Models, but the price shown is not even accurate to my cheapest material. Thankfully these prices are invisible to the public, but I'd appreciate some consistency.
- Not only does the 'Remember me' checkbox doesn't work, the site logs me out after too short a period of inactivity. I had to remember to 'cmd-c' this post just in case I was logged out while typing this.
- Minor gripe, but the UI style for 'edit product' modes look different off and on.
The good:
Bugs aside, I love the new picture display UI on the model page. The 3D view especially is not flashy, but it's robust and serves its purpose.
Looking forward to having all the bugs fixed. The site will look nice when it's at its 100%.
