<![CDATA[The New Picture Browser - Feedback]]>A new "Browse" by pictures beta version got public tonight (UTC). Please feel invited to give here your feedback. Thank you in advance for any positive, critical and constructive voices.

[box title=History and Purpose]
History
The idea of the picture browser grew from the members feedback about improving the descriptions, where many members said to use the pictures rather than the descriptions to decide to download a torrent.

As a first result of that feedback, the "Browse" and "Search" result list pages were amended to show "tooltip" tumbnail previews when hover with the mouse over. As a result, some members were started to speak about browsing pictures when going through the torrent list.

Another aspect are the complains about torrents being not downloaded after having completed the download, thus not generating upload. Indeed with some hundreds new torrents daily, many torrents get out of view back many pages already after a day and the download concentrates very much on the newest torrents on the first pages, where no torrent stays for long.

There is as well a certain inspiration from picture hosting sites blogs like seen on tumblr or the picture search results on Google picture search.

Purpose
The picture browser is meant as an alternative approach to find torrents, not to replace the "Search" result list list, by scrolling through randomly presented pictures, get attracted by one and look to the torrent it belongs. This way it is hoped members will discover torrents, studios or models they would otherwise have ignored.
It is not meant to search for any specific content (e.g. by date, studio, titles or models). It relies on the pure attraction (or distraction to scroll over) of the pictures.[/box]

It was decided to go live with an early version, after only a few days of internal testing in order to gather quickly a wide feedback from the members for further improvements and to test it under real usage server load.

Therefore the desired feedback should not be "It sucks" or "Wonderful new toy", but providing arguments why. For example in describing what doesn't work well, ideas for better functions, etc …

saved categories as defaults.  This one appears to start off with all categories enabled.

I would like it if it started off with just my saved categories, becuase now the first thing
I have to do is expand the categories list, and then select my categories!  😞

Other than that, it is still something I will continue to use to explore.

Thanks - Mark

Sadly the old one had scat all over it, amongst other things I find undesirable!

Personally - I'll put on hold my posting till old concept is back: it simply pointless to upload good video materials if you can't advertise them with good pictures. By the way, I noticed lots of guys started to upload old files to get extra points - cause it's harder to trace and report duplicates now. Anyway, good luck with upgrading your system. Looking forward to post again.

I hope it is just a question of a few days.

I initially hated it, but learned to love it as I went along. Now I feel like I have "picture brower" withdrawl!

I' not sure if it will be ready today, but what I've seen looks better than the version taken off and will have additional functions.

Now whatever I click - SEARCH or BROWSE - I get the same page with download links, not pictures, which make a choice much harder. C'mon, guys - get it back like it was just few days before.

Cause I have the same page - regardless what I click "browse" or "search".
Please, tell its temporal.

BOOOOO! I don't want to sit and have to read descriptions and have to sort out individually every single one!

If you all were to figure out a way to browse torrents the old way, but, incorporate photos without having to roll over the link ,as is the case now, it would be the ideal situation.

... just wait a little bit more.. the new version will cover most of your suggestions and get rid of some other problems  :cheers:

I already know that.  I don't want to click. I just want the old search to pop up.  Thanks

I am not trying to sound  pushy or anything but there have been a lot of great suggestions..  Bug fixes and possible improvements … since Early this year.
Did we give up on making this a REALLY Awesome feature?  :cheers:

You click on Search and you browse regular (if nothing entered as search), you click on Browse and you browse by pictures.

I don't mind as long as the old search is still available though.

Thank you!

in addition i added a scrollbar on "file list thumb if it extends the maxheight"
the thumbs get layouted with masonry to save some space
tootltips are visible a little bit longer. this enables you to get into the tip with your mouse and click on links inside

…
(2) I think that, as a result of this change, something about the "comments" popups on the old search page was damaged.  I used to get a popup of user comments when I selected the comments link on the search page.  Now, I get an hourglass and nothing happens.  Very occasionally, if I then move my mouse cursor, I get the briefest view of a popup which should have appeared, which vanishes again before anything can be read.  I imagine that this will behave differently in different browsers, but that's a sign that something isn't as it should be.  Something got broken along the way, here.
...

This should have been fixed finally. We, the torrent staff were already crying for it  :cheers:

Especially since we still have the option to use the regular search. COOL 😎
