Simplicity vs Complexity

Version 1 made it simple to an artist portfolio by either increasing/decreasing the results per page. All the tools to accomplish this were in plain sight.
In version 2 the artist portfolio page it's more complex and there are no instructions on how the functions work. There is a tool icon on the right of the sort by pulldown if you'd like to scroll or sort by pages. In order scroll through by page/s you need to turn off infinite scroll in the tool bar. Now if the artist has thousands of clip in his/her portfolio you can reduce the number by reviewing the options (which is limited) in the tool bar.
Sending a PM to other artist using V2 has its own set of problems as all icons are missing from the bottom of the text box. So if you'd to post URL or Clip you now have to type that info in. Or send message using V1.
Viewing an artist's PUBLIC PROFILE page directly which buyers/fellow artist have never been able to do. Then why is it called PUBLIC ??? The same goes for collections.
There are three ways for buyers to send a message to an artist
1) If they know his/her screen name they use artist directory.
2) Find screen name in the forum if they've posted
3) Key on the screen name on one of the artist's clips.
Sure allot of back doors to go through to send a message.
Then there's ingenious idea that if you'd like something add/done on this site you must submit to SUGGEST a FEATURE.
Come on people there has been a group that has been asking for Payoneer which dates back to 2011. Now some of those may not a good understanding of the English language and have no idea what suggest a feature means let alone that it has to be vote on before you'll even think about it.
To summarize it's a work in progress and may the time the NAB rolls around in April 2014 they have fix this the better
