Here here...the new version is a poor relation of the old...but we seem to be stuck with it.

Not according to the stats on the bottom right of the page.

Seems daft if there's some sort of ban on using/recognising "celebrity" faces..inevitable that at some point they'll find their way back onto the system so why not just put it back to how it was before this wretched update.

In the meantime how many who loved the old version are going to give up on this new version - the incredibly slow waiting speeds for images to generate & over complicated way of using this version (compared to the simplicity of the previous version) are very off putting...am I better off coming back in 6 months (or longer)...?

Fair enough - I hate to complain but for me the site was perfect as it was - if in 6 months it's as good as it was then great - but it's a long time to wait though to get back to where we were!

Yes but it's not just the fact that it no longer recognises "celebs",it's the fact that some of the old styles are nothing like they were - tintin comic,franco/belgian comic,50s enamel sign,vintage comic,vintage pulp art etc etc are now Nothing like they were or are anywhere near as good..how is this progress?..surely these styles should've stayed as they were even if there is some sort of new engine running this site.

Personally speaking It's become useless to me..whether that will change in 6 months,who knows?..just feels like it's gone backwards..what happens if we all get used to this version then he decides to "upgrade" it again & we're back to square one?..sometimes new isn't always better.

Ok,but what is the reason for this update if it's putting us all back who knows how many months..all seems a bit daft to say the least.

"Months" though!!!....how is this an improvement?...seems like we've gone so far backwards.

Yes it was great for that sort of thing...I can only hope that in a few months it will have learned what "celebs" look like when trying to get a resemblance...the old version used to nail most of them.

The thing is it's taking SO long to wait for just 2 images that i'm not prepared to wait just to see how wrong it is...the old version would create dozens of images in seconds.

I'm guessing it's cost money to make these changes BUT if I had a website that users absolutely loved then changed it and "most" users hated those changes,i'd change it back in an instant..."the customer is always right" (D-Fens).
