Search Button and Logging In

Posted in Figure Realm Comments and Questions

Why force people to get accounts in order to search for figures? I'm not seeing any possible benefits from it.

Can we go back to the old style search? The new one with a limit of 10 customs per page feels restricting.

The Desktop version of the website should be showing 20 customs per page. Only the Mobile version will show 10 per page.

I see. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

It's a resource / website stability issue. Performing a search is expensive in terms of server resources. If we don't require a user to be signed in to perform the search, then every bot, crawler, spammer, etc on the web can also do the searches. At any given time, there's usually dozens of some sort of bot on the website. We don't want them hitting the search features and bringing down the website.
