      New layout is good. Thought font was too big at first but didn't take long too adjust. I thought you had reverted back to old version but then realised  it was my bookmark was pointing to the browse.php (old search) instead of search.php (new version) which might account for a few others seeming to go back to the old version. I guess with auto logins and password managers not everyone goes through home page.

      If you are still taking suggestions just two minor ones,

      Change the ratio and bonus stats to yellow to make them stand out and

      Please see if there is anything you can do with the pics which are 10 pics by 1 vertically and just are unviewable when zoomed. I know it is to do with the original pic resolution and can't offer a solution myself but thought I would ask.

      Basically - great work.

        A huge THANK YOU for the improvements to the site, both aesthetically and under the hood.  A large complaint I have is when scrolling through the Search page, if I'm scrolling down to view more and I hovered over a title to Quick View the photoset, my mouse gets caught in the description field. NOrmally, it wouldn't be an issue, but some of these descriptions can go on FOREVERRRRRR…. Some people are just overly verbose in the descriptors, and not saying to cut it off, but it'd be helpful if it was collapsed into something that resembled a [see more] hyperlink that expanded the description into the full text. It would save me and I'm sure others a ton of frustrations when scrolling.

          The only solution I have found for this so far is to move the mouse to the far side of the page where the categories are before scrolling the page. This forces the main page to remain under the mouse cursor. As well, in the top right corner of the search page, you'll find a button that will toggle between the short description and the long description. The short description option will also solve this problem.

            Oh well now I look stupid, LOL… I don't recall the option toggle being there when the design change first happened. I'm just now getting around to putting my feedback on here. That makes a huge difference and doesn't annoy me as I like to hover over the title and basically I had to move cursor over to the edge after every hover before scrolling if I didn't want to get caught scrolling thru a description that was an epic novel.

            Thanks for that tip!

              Hi, the new design has horribly large fonts and rows that make one search result take a third of the screen. This is very impratical, all I do is scroll and important info is lost among tons of unnecessarily large objects.

              See screenshot for comparison. There are 6-7 result rows in the old design in comparison to just 3 in the new design.

              Please note that turning off the snapshots won't compress the rows. When the snapshots are turnet off, the rows remain the same heigth but with there's just more unused blank space where the snapshots used to be.

              Overall I can imagine this working nice on a touch screen but it is very badly designed for a desktop browser UX. Please turn it back or at least make the change optional indefinitely 😞

                  The new search text box is unusable on my iPhone. It shows up as maybe 50 pixels wide (maybe not even that), so the text you are typing can’t even be seen.

                  If I turn the screen to landscape, it’s okay, but still not great. My suggestion would be to get rid of the Search text on the left side, change the Search/Refresh text to an icon (magnifying glass), and move the dropdown filter to the next line.

                  P.S. sorry if somebody else has mentioned this…I’ll admit I didn’t scroll through the 16 pages of previous posts!

                    Appreciate the work you do on the layout, but I switched to old layout as I am interested in Desktop only, and the new version was less usable than the older version (which is excellent).

                    I understand mobile users will prefer the new layout, but it would be nice to preserve the option of the old layout (Desktop version). Would be interesting to see how much site traffic is mobile vs desktop.

                    Thank you!

                      It would be nice having a yellow background for items in the wishlist (like the green hue for snatched ones) in the search page.

                        @srblock:

                        … in Browse view ... the popup box sometimes is very wide and goes off the left side of the page. This is only happening in Safari ...

                        Same thing happens in Firefox when hovering over the elipse  ::)

                        ….. Actually hold that. I just realised the bookmark I use (https://www.gaytor.rent/browse.php) is actually the OLD layout  :blind:

                        Now that I'm using the new layout, am instantly in love with the optiions to show images, view compact/wide, and  :love: :love: :love: the toggle for long description.

                        THANKS  :cheers: :cheesy2:

                          it's a nice look, but the font is way too big for title and description. the description box ends up with a scroll bar. completely messes up trying to scroll whole page if the pointer is hovering over one of these boxes. ugh. screen shot previews are too tiny to be of much use. hovering over screen shots should enlarge them, not sure why it's the title that is the hover zone. camera glyph is redundant, since clicking on photos also zooms.

                          personally i prefer the old layout. it's more compact and presents more information quickly. especially if i'm on a phone or tablet. i do like the new color scheme, the grey/white is easy to read. the green and dark green quickly let me know what i've downloaded before and can scroll past. top menu bar is better organized and displays important information and links easily.

                            Please
                            Improve the search function so that
                            searches on multiple words are possible
                            searches can go back or forward more than one page at a time ( I hope the screen grab makes that clearer)

                            Thanks

                            PS Hated it at first but would not go back for quids

                              Great work so far….would it be possible to anchor the title line. As it is now when you scroll the individual item feed to see the description the title disappears behind the item directly above it, which in turn makes reading the description either difficult. It also gives the sight itself a  appearance of unpolluted. Cheers!

                                Using the large fixed image preview from the search screen - the floating menu bar at the top covers it (possibly drop the float down by that many pixels or make it float on top of the menu).

                                Also the image previews are in a single vertical column on the left only. Very hard to 'inspect' but maybe class mythumb was intended to be 'floating' so that the images would fill the space? Or reusing the case in the Browse section please! Throwing in a 'float' is instantly better but with gaps

                                Edit: the Browse page doesn't respect the mover image setting. But the hover images are stacked correctly - so there is definitely something funky with the fixed size image hover!

                                  Thank you for the update. I'm loving the new cleaner mobile layout, especially the torrent image browser.

                                  I'm using Samsung Internet Browser v12.0.1.36 on my Essential Phone and I'm having problem clicking on the torrent's title. Everytime I do it, the screen flashes a preview of the first three images of the torrent for a nano second but it does not load the torrent page. It does not matter if I zoom in to enlarge the torrent's title text. It happens with most torrent links. Please try multiple links on the page when trying to reproduce the bug. I was able to reproduce the problem on my Mi Pad 4 as well.

                                  I had similar problem with the previous version of the site, but I was able to get around the problem by clicking near the beginning of the torrent's title.

                                  I stumbled across the cause of this bug last night. The torrent page will load when there is no more than one image on the torrent page. Torrent page with multiple images just flashes the preview images and not load.

                                  With the Description toggled to Short and Compressed mode, I can open torrent page with three or less images.

                                  Solution : In Profile, when I switch Thumb Style on Browse to Thumbs appear at mouse position, all torrent page loads as expected.

                                  For the phone layout, could you please bring back the quick download torrent file on the torrent listing page. Maybe as an icon after the camera icon in the torrent's title. Alternatively, move these two icons to the beginning of the torrent tag row and replace the current image tags with text links. This could free up space for additional torrent description texts.

                                      I did a bit of double checking.  The problem below appears to be associated with the old IE 11 browser.  I did the same commands under Chrome (Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and the issue DOES NOT appear.
                                      I am leaving info below in Just In Case it helps someone else.

                                      (and yes, I am using the antiquated IE but only with GTRU.  I separate everything else to the modern chrome or firefox  :-))

                                      Just saw a change occur in search that I'm not sure was intentional. The change may have been intended to help phones maybe but from accessing via a PC, it's not a good thing for me. 
                                      Example 1
                                      this is the search page from earlier that I had not closed. it shows all the info stats and links on the right of the screen.
                                      Example 2
                                      This what I just got when I did another search
                                      There are no stats - links at the right
                                      BUT then I change to Full Screen and the info and links are there.  It appears that the main left column is now a fixed width..

                                      NOTE I Really am getting to like the NEW style especially when casually seeing what the latest posts are.  I will just deal with description results screen when I am doing a specific search by going to full screen as needed.

                                      Search example 1.png
                                      Search example 2.png
                                      Search Example 3.png

                                        Hello,
                                        Good work ! 🙂
                                        but I just have a small problem: the number of thumbnails giving the subcategories is limited (apparently) to 2, while in the old design they are all displayed!

                                          Joker, the tweaks and improvements over the last couple of weeks have really been helpful.  It's looking great and the new site is much easier to use than the old site at this point.  I especially like the dropdown menus at the top of the page.

                                          There are a lot of comments and suggestions in the "Suggestions & Site Feature Requests" subforum that you might want to read:

                                            1. The look of the website in the mobile version is ugly, it always crashes and the browser says 'gaytor.rent is not matching'

                                            2. the page names of the torrents are too long, the images incorporate taking longer to load and are cut as below.

                                            3. The search box in the mobile version is so small that I can't even find it and the 'search' button is out of alignment
