New Design

Zipperface

Since the redesign seems to be a work in progresss I won't comment other than to say it seems to be going well. You'll get lots of noise about it, I'm sure, but people hate change. They forgot that they themselves had to grow up at one time. I DO like that the site is much faster now. Oh, I still think that Feet should be its own catagory.

I really like the progress on the redesign!

I just saw the extended view on the search pages, and to me it seems to be the best of the search and browse features.

It works well for the way I use the site. I see some other proposed tweaks, and I will see how it all works out.

Thanks for a HUGE effort! :cheers:

@box20062:

I think new layout is too wide on PC. Search results have no margins on left and right, so text ant table cells is near borders of screen. It's inconvenient.

I echo this comment. The search page wants to expand to full window width with no margins, and with a wide-screen monitor, this is clumsy. I suggest a maximum width. This might mean reducing the number of displayed thumbnails, but we had that in the previous search screen when mousing over, and it was not a problem.

I do like having the torrent description and thumbnails "live" rather than only on mouse-over, although it increases the server's upload. It's also a good way to identify "deadbeat" torrents that have no description and/or thumbnails. Eventually it would be nice to have a gate in the upload process that stopped torrents with no sample images…but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I commend the hard (!) and conscientious work of the moderators and programmers who are clearly trying to make this already-excellent site even better.

I also came here to make this comment. Having the preview pics is nice but the search.php page is just far too wide. I love the rest of the redesign but browse.php is the perfect width for a torrent list page imo.

@ftlnewsfeed:

Not a fan of the images being on the Search page, but because I think that people should be able to see them if they want to then I'd like the option to turn them off via a setting.

yeah ..don't worry.. at the end you will find some toggles on that page where you can switch between long and short description, if you want to see pics, all pics or no pics. etc… give it some time. it'll evolve for the better.

Glad to hear about this, I was wondering why it keeps changing for me - sometimes it was like the old design with no preview images on the list, and other times they were there making the list very long to scroll. I agree having the option there for those that like them is good.

That was my only gripe really, everything else is fine, the font size is more manageable. Appreciate the work being put in to making the site more usable and modern

Minor bug in browse page.

In the browse page, if the picture selected is one of those tall, multi shot pictures the entire shot is shown in the browse page. In the old page, it appears as if these overly tall pictures were trimmed to a reasonable height.

2 examples: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=a26f5a2be8cc3a63eca3c72c00219918fc54edbd57941b56

Hope I was clear in my explanation - Mark

I'm sorry but this is awful, all I see is the name of the torrent and pictures with no information?
I would be hard pressed to decide on what to download with this minimalistics display, the old one was fit for purpose, this is not. If people wanted to see just pictures and little else there was always the browse function, not sure how this is supposed to be the slightest bit better?

Hey, I wanted to thank you for the new option to see all the miniatures under the name of the torrent! That makes it easier to browse and find torrents.
I like the new design, but I have a problem in my cellphone: I can't see my stats directly, like in the desktop version. It only shows the "Profile", "Affiliate", "Messages", "Details & Stats" and "My torrents" buttons, but I can't see my ratio, I can't see my seedpoints, and I can't access to the page to trade points for UL GBs, so I have to switch to the desktop version to look at it.

I hope this can help.
Thanks.

@mm51233:

Couldn't switch it back fast enough, takes much longer to scroll down on non-mobile. I don't need to read every full description unless I decide to click on something. Not better for me, not sure why it's assumed to be better for all.
A shame this doesn't offer something like a desktop version (old display) plus mobile device version (new display), depending on what is being used, like FB.

I'm ashamed that as an individual I can't keep up with the development power of Facebook and Microsoft and Co. Shame on me. Sorry sorry sorry

But people must also understand that after such a long time with a design from 2006, it is time to make some changes. I see the statistics of how many people use the site from a mobile device. The reasons are many and varied. Instead of questioning them, I have long since decided to support them fully. Unfortunately I lacked the time until now. It is not done in a few hours. Instead, I will let you participate in the process a little bit and I will also be fed by your feedback.

Those who follow this thread here attentively have already noticed that opinions differ greatly on some points. None of you is wrong. With the next update you will be able to customize the layout to your needs. For the next hours, maybe until tomorrow, you will have to be satisfied with the current version. Even then it won't be the final version. But I'm sure that in the end I'll be able to do more than just fulfill your wishes!

Let me finish the search page. then i go over to make the browse page better.

finally i will make tweaks to the cellphone view of those pages. The Design is somehow "mobile ready" but not fully optimized for the cellphones. be patient !

PLEASE ,it was OK like it was before!
If i wanted to see images of twinks getting fucked i used to check but not like this Please dear make it configurable at least

The new design is a bit confusing for me… I guess I will have to get used to the new layout, but, for example, the fact that all the personal information is under one heading seems to be less visual than before. The same happens with the "Torrents" one: now you have to click to find the options...

Changes, though, are always good
Let's get used to them, then.

I think the new design is nicely streamlined and well thought out. Sure, there are glitches here and there, but those are being corrected. The folks here seem to work hard to provide us a great, free experience. They often get a rude response for their efforts. They want your input, of course, but even that can be accompanied by a "thank you" … look around the world today and imagine how the simplest courtesy can make a huge difference.

teste999

The new layout is amazing and its faster. But I still missing tools to filter the search results like per date and size… it'd be very very useful.
Thanks.

First, thank you for going to the effort to update the UI. I know this isn't easy and I appreciate the effort taken to make things more usable and visually nice.

I tried the new UI and switched back after 5-6 pages.
I'm using this on a laptop and everything feels positively huge and takes up a lot of space. This may be a big ask but can we make things smaller so we see more per line and the fonts aren't so large. I liked the older UI's clean look with only text and images appearing if you hovered over.

Now, it's a sea of images and it's a bit overwhelming. Having one image may help but 5-10 images on each line is just too much. Maybe it's me but it's too busy and hard to focus on what you want.

Thank you for giving us the ability to provide feedback on this

The new layout and especially bigger font sizes for some elements (e.g. navigation) are mostly fine, but having the thumbnails visible for all torrents is very disorienting for me. Even more so because the category pictures kind of get drowned out by that as well.

mitchymo

I am honestly not a fan of the new look.

The old version 'search' was so much cleaner looking. This new version is too cluttered with thumbnail pics that don't even enlarge when you hover over them, and the scroll bars mean that when i scroll down the page and the curser stops on a torrent which has its own scrollbar, it stalls the overall scrolling process.
Also, i don't wanna see some of the pics as i find some things too vulgar, its not so pleasant as before when pics only appeared if you hovered over a particular torrent.
Lastly, the ratio colour is dark red making it impossible to actually read without sticking my face to the screen. Why isn't it white like the bonus figure?
Those are my reasons for disliking new design. I was one of the ones that reverted back to the old design, but since its gonna be scrapped….
These are just my thoughts. I do like the idea of having that background colour with theme name in the corner of the icons. And i love that the top of the page looks sleek.

Hi. I also reverted to the old design, I just don't like the new design, too many thumbnails. I reverted immediately. I hope it is possible to leave "old design" function (as xda developers forum have).

Thank you for your work

Hello

I find the new design of the search page quite inconvinient because the table is too wide on the desktop.

Thanks

I would respectfully disagree. Many commercial webmasters like to make periodic changes to give a new "look and feel," but there's no need to fix something if it isn't broken. The new frozen pane at the top of the windows is a welcome feature, but I don't see much advantage to many of the other changes. I suggest an approach of, "What do we need to fix?" and then fix it…not "What can I change for the sake of change?"

That said, I again appreciate the hard work of the many people in operating this website. I'm a little disappointed that there isn't more of that appreciation shown in this topic thread.

The neew design may grow on me, I'm currently eh on it. The biggest issue I have is that the search pagee is way too wide on PC, it lookeed a lot better when there were borders seperating the main content from the edge (like in the forums).
