      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?"

      I have plans that you may not recognize yet. I'm not changing the website because I'm bored. I see that almost half of the hits on this website come from mobile devices. This was really not foreseeable in 2006. But I just can't keep ignoring it now. Try to "update" some software from that time. Many things that used to run in the past don't work just because of updates. I cannot stop Chrome, Firefox and others from updating the software and standards as well. Is that why you shouldn't update anything? Like, never touch a running sytem ? This maybe work at home at your desktop. But not for a site like this.

      Hello dear members,
      Again a new day begins for me and I am happy about your numerous feedback. Even though some of you may not always be so understanding of my changes, I am confident that in the end I will satisfy most of you.

      Currently I have left you, with the so-called "Extended View". Sorry for this, but every now and then I need a break. I've been sitting at my computer more than 14 hours a day without interruption for the last week and I can't really take a break. This would only delay everything even further.

      Some people like what they see and a few others find it simply too much information. Now please just wait for the next version. There you can change the view in real time. These settings will remain constant until you change them again. Also on your next visit. So everyone can customize the user interface to his needs.

      With the menu you will probably have to get used to the fact that it will be a little different in the future. I personally don't like this colorful thing from back-in-the-days anymore. And it's really technically not up to date anymore. There won't be any more switching back and forth !!!! this is only possible now, so that during breaks in development, the site doesn't stand still here. But THEN it is over. So I would get used to it.

      I read your feedback carefully and take it into consideration as best I can. You will notice this with the next update ! At least those of you who follow this topic here.

            I think it is very neat and I haven't encountered any problems on a Opera browser.

              This has already been said, but I wanted to add a voice to the long picture complaint. I only ever use the Browse page, and in the previous version the pictures were always limited to a manageable rectangle, EVEN when they were actually a super long picture in reality. Now that whole picture is shown, which makes browsing way harder.

              Also, on Chrome hovering over the info icon usually puts the info box too high, so I can't read most of it, as it's off screen.

                The new design is fine.  However, I switched to the old design because I live in a house with others and use gaytor.rent on a big old desktop  and don't like them seeing the pictures large and upfront on my monitor.

                  First of all, congratulations for the new design. Overall it looks nicer and modern than the old one.
                  There are two things though I dislike and have already been mentioned by other people:

                  • The long thumbnails on the browse view;
                    and
                  • The thumbnails size on the search view (maybe they can be smaller with overing?) wich also makes every record "stripe" to much taller to be confortable, in my opinion.

                  I do have a question: on search view why there are some records light green and others dark green? I Didn't find the answer for this…

                  Thanks for all your effort and keep the good work.

                    1. When finishing a report on a duplicate torrent, the last line says something along the lines of “If this is true, you will get 50 seed bonus points.” Using the word “true” implies that it’s opposite is “a lie” and that if the report is not the truth, it is a lie which then makes the reporter a liar. Might I suggest using the word “accurate” instead? There is no judgement if something is inaccurate, but there is if it is a lie. Small thing, I know, and completely unimportant, but like I said, I’m an editor…

                    "True" primarily means factual or consistent with reality.  The opposite of "true" is "false".  It is not true that everything that is not true is a lie.

                      Hi,

                      The design is cool but is there a way to disable pics of torrents movies when we're searching? I like some fetish stuff but some other stuff in that category shock me. With this new design, it's hard to look away even if i try reading the title before… so it'll be great if we could disable all those pics and keep the mouseover thing.

                      You are probably already aware of this, but you can turn off straight, bisexual, and scat categories on your profile page.  I have scat turned off because I don't want to see photos of it unexpectedly, either, especially when I'm snacking while browsing.

                        @holbrook78:

                        Looks good, at least so far.  A lot of redesigns seem to cause more problems then before but this looks to be fairly clean.

                        an incredible 279 users have switched back to the old version. probably because the font was too small in the beginning? It's a pity that they don't get in touch here why. In a future version (where also this forum will get a huge version jump forward) there will be no way to activate the old design. i can't please everybody, but i'll try my best. So give me your feedback, and as exactly as possible what is not as good as before in the new version, so i can work on it.

                        Well I find I am quite used to the old roster, where you would see the category ( or sort the category, then go by studio or title,… Then, if it suited me, I could drag my mouse over it for the images ( if any ) and take a quick look before opening the link. Now, if I accept the newer layout, all is in preview and somewhat hard to see ( as I get older perhaps), and I'm thinking, it's no great improvement. However, regardless of my personal tastes, if these layouts cause less server pressure then I'm all for them. For me, since the data has been obtained arguably from dubious sources, staying afloat and running as efficiently as possible, is priority here.

                        My two dangly bits,
                        Jay (postwhore02)

                          we'll see if I get used to it. but I liked the old design. nothing was wrong with it. this is too "Web 2.0" unnecessary

                              1. On the search page the “number of files” is not grammatically correct when there is only one file. It reads: “1 Files.” Should be, of course, “1 File.” This has no effect on functionality, but I thought I’d mention. It.

                              i can not find it.. you talk about search or the (pic)browser?

                              Never mind about this. I just looked it up on the new version, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. I guess I was thinking about the old layout. Just to be clear though, I was referring to Search.

                              It seems that the majority of people don't like the thumbnails. While I personally like the feature, it's not vitally important to me, and getting rid of them would help solve the the problem of how few entries are visible on the screen at one time. I like the idea of having an option of which type of view we can have.

                              Are you currently in Brazil? If so please be very careful and stay safe.

                                I appreciate that you’re trying to make the site better, but honestly I don’t find the new theme to be a huge improvement. On a vertical iPad Pro there is plenty of space for your navigation at the top but it’s all hidden behind the hamburger menu (though sometimes I can actually trigger the desktop version of the nav to appear on some pages, and it’s much more usable). That’s not mobile friendly… Font sizes are also smaller than standard minimum sizes for mobile.

                                This feels like an old theme retrofitted with some mobile things vs. a truly new responsive theme that would work at all sizes and have modern icons, etc. There’s  a lot of random borders and buttons styles and old icons everywhere that look like they’re left over from an old desktop theme. None of your icons looks like they’re @2x size or SVGs so they’ll look blurry on any mobile device.

                                  Really like the new colors, love the fact that messages show up under my name and not as this big red "hey you got a message" thingy on the screen.  I like that you have the option of pics or no pics in the search list, I didn't think I would but then it is an interesting preview function.  Also the system overall seems to be much faster.  And the top of the screen information laid out well.  Overall great job!

                                    I would appreciate your feedback on today's design update. Some of you have already reported about fonts that are too small. It is always very important to know where exactly on which page you see a problem. Then we save ourselves unnecessary questions back and forth. Of course I am also happy about every positive feedback, without any change wishes.  :cheers:

                                    The website is visually ugly and has layout problems, as the images are above the description and are facing several bugs.

                                        The site feels really snappy loading today and the listings are back to without all the preview images. Just about perfect at the moment.  :police:

                                        oh, I did a search and the thumbnails are back in the results listing. It seems sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off?

                                          seems like, you got problems on an Android Device? i do not have one (yet) on IOS it looks fine.
                                          can anyone confirm, it does not look good on Android?

                                          look at the script name on top .. is it "browse.php" (the old script) or is it "search.php" (the new one) ?

                                            I very, very, very much prefer the compact /browse.php layout. Can you give members the option to have that layout?

                                            Simpler still, keep the script as a link in the "Torrents" pulldown menu.
