One annoying complaint with MatArt has been their naming convention for downloaded material. I'm very pleased to report that they now have much more descriptive names.
By contrast a typical August 2011 download was labeled:
MET-ART_sg_604_hires
While I doubt that these folks will be going back and renaming the earlier stuff, just the prospect of all new offerings is a great thing that should make all MetArt fans quite happy.
Now we all know that movies are not the primary draw at MET Art, but I've enjoyed some of them a lot. Up to now, the movie viewer has been the site's weak point. At one point in the past there was a seek bar, but then even that was disabled. Even in the larger size, you couldn't watch at anything like HD. All that is in the past.
As of yesterday, Met Art has a very nice JWPlayer for watching the movies, and we can now watch them in HD, when that resolution is available for the video and in full-screen. It's about time, but it's a welcome addition.
NB: They're having some technical issues with it at this moment, but when I logged in this morning for my daily perving, it worked great. :)
On checking my email this morning i found an email offer to join Met Art and get Nubiles for free. Having never been a member at either site before i was tempted at the thought of signing up to both for a year knowing that Met have a great $99 deal for 1 year memberships, however on clicking through to the sign up page for Ccbill i discover the join price is $199.99......how the fuck is this a special offer??
Met-art has re-designed the updates page. Met-art is constantly tinkering with the site design to improve the Met-art experience, to make the site easier to use.
The old update page was basically a listing of the most recent updates (photosets and videos) with a nice-sized thumbnail of each cover sheet. By clicking on any thumbnail, you would get a full-sized page of that cover sheet.
In the new update page design, you get a reduced number of update thumbnails. The updates are now sorted into a photoset grouping, and a video grouping. Before, the photosets and videos were lumped together, and sorted by date (most recent to oldest). By clicking on a thumbnail for the cover of a photoset, instead of getting a larger, full-page version, you now get 14 tiny thumbnails of photos within that set.
New to the updates page is a section of thumbnails that shows the Live Met Cams models.
Also new to the updates page is a listing, with thumbnails, of the top rated Metart models.
Personally, I liked the old design better, it was simpler, and showed a larger amount of the most recent updates.
But for someone who is just browsing, and is new to this site, the new design does a better job of showcasing the huge content that Metart offers with a membership.
All of this information was available before, but the new design places more information on the primary updates page.
And the technical expertise of the site design is impressive. The thumbnail links work easily. You click on a thumbnail of a model in the highest rated section, and it brings up a listing (thumbnails) of that model's photosets and videos.
Looking at the list of updates on the site, I might have to revise my opinion and add this site to my list, as I see a couple of sets shot by the legendary (well, in some circles) Roy Stuart...
Actually, would be much obliged if somebody with a membership could let me know how many of his sets there are there?
Met Art gallery pages now allow you to:
1. Rate the series, the model, or the photographer separately
2. Input tags for each series
3. Return to recently viewed content (their starred "Recent" button)
4. Control viewing options such as number of thumbs per page, whether the thumb opens a pic in a new window, and the default resolution of opened pics.
These are nice improvements, but I did notice one change. It used to be you could change the default photo viewing resolution right on a gallery page, but now it always uses the "browser options" setting whenever you go to a new page. So you might, for example, change the view to "low" but get "high" on the next page.
Perhaps this seems like a quibble, but I did like being able to reset the default without having to go into the browser options area.
Just the same, the overall improvements show that Met Art continues to find ways to enhance the user experience.
UPDATE: They're going to fix the problem I pointed out here (see replies).
Met-art is now offering lots of different affiliate deals with various partner sites - not just from their individual e-mails, which has gone on for a while and caused a bit of controversy when I commented on one and linked to the offer - but on the site itself. I assume everyone sees the same offers as I do when they click on the site.
Pretty cool offers - some that I've never seen made before - on sites such as Nubiles.net and RonHarris.com
There have been many site improvements lately. The design has been enhanced and ease of navigation has greatly increased. The models are as delicious as ever, and I actually think they're getting much more stimulating. I find new content more erotic and less artsy than in the past. The poses are more explicit, but the photography is world-class. High-res content now comes in resolutions up to 39 megapixels -- enough to make my 24" monitor seem tiny and let you see as much detail as your heart, or penis, desires.
Some of the greatest improvements I've seen are in the erotic movies and live webcams. The erotic movies are, well, erotic. For the most part, the girls have gotten away from the cutesy posing and goofing off to fill video time and are much more sensual and seductive. And the hotties on live webcams are a real treat. They're not the two-dollar whores or sleazy sluts with dildos you usually find on live webcams, these babes are classy, seductive, and friendly, and they really know how to push my buttons. I would have joined for this alone.
More than I entended to say, but I like to give credit where credit is due.
I happened to notice my regular Met Art email and clicked it figuring it would be the usual Met Art + Met Models offer, instead, it was Met Art + Nubiles.net for $29.95. Anybody else get this offer? I haven't been on either site in awhile, so I may have to take this offer.
