As it is right now, ROBLOX has updated the page headers to be simplistic, and the catalogue to be minimalistic and easy to use. The problem I see now, is that the character page is the complete antithesis of the rest of ROBLOX, and I honestly can't remember the last time that page had any sort of sprucing up of any sort. You've got plain-text links to scroll pages, and the way items are presented is a throwback to when the catalogue was nearly unworkable. Yes, I know someone is going to come around and say "The catalogue was perfectly fine those years ago!" And I will tell you it was only fine to you because you got used to it. Honestly, consider it in its entirety, it was not very appealing in the slightest and relatively hard to work with, that's why it got upgraded. Trying to convince me of that is tantamount to someone in their nineties convincing me that we don't need air conditioning. The grew up without it so they might not need it, but it certainly is a luxury of all sorts.
So now I propose this: In the same way that ROBLOX revamped the catalogue, revamp the character page as well. Remove the plain-text Java links in favour of the new semi-animated template for item thumbnails that is present on the catalogue's home page. Organize the items currently being worn into categories such as "Hats," "Clothes," and "Body parts," instead of having them mixed together in a hodge-podge of whatever was equipped first. Perhaps, in the working of all of this, also change the rendering of the character preview from a static image to a WebGL render (which would automatically default to a static preview in case the current computer is incompatible with WebGL, which should be very few) so as we might be able to view a 3D, rotatable full-preview of our characters instead of just a single, unintuitive angle.
Maybe with the WebGL preview, you could also make the "Body Colour" box and the "Preview" box the same, clicking a body part in the preview might allow you to select a new colour? That way, you'd free up space to allow for an even larger inventory box so we wouldn't have to scroll through as many pages just to find one item.
At least, with that, it's not a pain nor an eye sore to click through seventeen pages of gears, hats, or shirts in order to find that one item, and - at the very least - would remove the unprofessionalism that comes from hosting what might as well be an HTML1.1 document, when the rest of your website is clearly being pushed to HTML5. |

First of all I would like to say that I did not like the new updates they made on the catalog. But, your idea is good so I will support. Being able to see your character from different angles is a good idea and should be added.

| The group layouts were pushing it a bit, but I accepted them after a while. I still haven't gotten used to the new catalog layout, and the new in general layout is beyond ugly and confusing. |

I posted the private group forums thread February: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=62322623
and this one three weeks ago: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=76051370
I think that's the most recent ones.

On an unrelated note, ROBLOX failed at revamping the "Account Settings Page"
It is so difficult right blurbs nowadays :/
Anyway, supporting and bumping. Best of both worlds :3
