New Design

Joker

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

@beep:

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.

@miken14:

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?

@Yott:

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.
Thanks.

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!

@mcondor:

Minor bug in browse page.

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

@Yott:

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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).

Fredhead

I use the site through the Search view. I like the new update… looks very clean, but I don't like all the thumbnails on the page. I also have issues when I scroll going into another scroll bar. If we can keep those off, or make it an option, I'm great with the update

billganz

I find new design much harder on my eyes. I'm having to really concentrate to focus on the links that will take me to torrent info page. I'll go back for as long as I can

jdo143

Hiya, thanks for the good work! However… the extended search view is quite crowded with all the screen caps, and it's difficult for the eye to grasp the file name/title, screen caps and other information such as file size, statistics etc quickly. Some may like it, but sorry: I don't. In the condensed search view, it would be nice to have a slightly larger font size, please?

bearbearbear

When using the Browse feature, it doesn't scroll infinitely for me now. It loads about 3 1/2 screen height's worth and stops. Reloading doesn't help.

bi4smooth

I like the new design - and I'm especially impressed that you've clearly tweaked the layout based on on user feedback!
WELL DONE!

One thing I noticed today on the Search page: in the first column, where it appears you're trying to show the list of categories/sub-categories, they're not always showing the full list. I see up to 5 (1 big, 4 small) on some torrents, but there are missing ones on some. In particular, it looks like when there are only 4 total, only 3 show. (Sorry if my naming doesn't match yours).

Also, I use a DARK layout, and my ratio is under 1 (I don't know, I think I get penalized by the fact that I use a VPN proxy) - still, the text is supposed to be RED – but the font color is too dark to read. I have to highlight it to read it. (And, I'm creating new torrents with some of my older stuff that I've re-coded to be smaller to try to improve my ratio!)

Otherwise, I love that you're working to make things better!

iheatrad

It's probably already mentioned but I do have a few suggestions.

1. The column on the right (info, DL, wishlisht add) should be bigger.
2. When we're on the monitor everything is really wide and not compact like the old design, in this case, moving the menu to the left side (vertical menu) might help
3. I would suggest an option to toggle screenshot/thumbnails.
4. Please tweak the size of thumbnails and the category. Now, the category is bigger than the thumbnails. It should be the other way around. Also, I notice that the thumbnails are equal width, it should be equal height for better and more organized looks.

I attached a screen shot for you maybe it's better to represent some points.

i prefer the old design as well.

it works better on a standard laptop screen.
is it possible to give a choice permanently ? old vs new

on the new - what bothers me most is the mix of font sizes. i struggle to read some of the really smalle fonts.

for example… on the main header, you have 'Torrents' , 'Search' 'Form' ...in one size... and then the UL / DL / Ration / Bonus details in a much smaller font. that i find very frustrating, because my eyes don't adjust that well to the size difference.

I like the grey look. But for me the search results are too busy in the new way. I don't need to see the thumbnails at the search results. It takes too much browsing.
