Given that the holidays are over since round about two weeks, we are now talking about the DAZ definition of "short".
LOL, well it's clear now the Galklery doesn't lead to many sales.

Not so clear.... I recently had a conversation about the various COVID vaccines and why they could be developed so fast while there is no vaccine for HIV. I explained that the answer is due to the differences in the viruses; COVID produces an antibody response that concurs immunity so a vaccine is possible while HIV produces an antibody response that does not confur immunity. The effort was in creating the "vaccine" (which is really a set of mRNA instructions to tell the virus to express proteins that the immune system can see) in a form that could be stable enough with ultra cold freezers and safe enough. Likewise, this is why you have flu vaccines but don't have cold vaccines. My point is that, if DAZ3d would have an infinitely sized set of programs so the the could work on keeping the Store working, fixing all the problems of the transition, and getting the galleries up at the same time, we would not be waiting. Unfortunately, in the real world, people have to triage.
The alternative way to doing major modifications is to do them a bit at a time. Do the store, do the gallery, do the forum and finally do the overarching bit that ties them all together.
In DS the programming is deeply object oriented. Even integers are treated as objects. The idea in OOP (Object Oriented Programming) is you can change/totally re-write one object while affecting no others. Taking that concept, which is deep, deeply embedded in DS and failing to apply it to a website code which is almost certainly also written in an OOP compatible language to save time and effort is a stunning oversight. It requires about 10% more thought and planning at the outset, and saves huge multiples of that when a project is modified.
As a hobby c++ programmer and website tinkerer from scratch, I remain to be convinced that there is a huge commonality between a vaccine analagy & website programming. It's more down to a programming approach, one will land you in the manure, and the other will permit relatively easy changes that affect nothing else. It's down to making correct programming choices at the outset. The fact the gallery is in the manure will tell you whether or not the correct choices were made at the outset.

Wish they would fix the Gallery it iwas one of my resources
"Daz Soon" even has a Wikipedia entry.
Potentially, it is related to relativity. As DAZ is moving with almost lightspeed, "soon" is getting longer on our timescale. On the DAZ timescale, it is just "within a few moments". We should blame Einstein, not DAZ
Hilarious!
