The New Picture Browser - Feedback

alfa66

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.

Sorry but it's just horrible. Worst choice ever guys. Go back to the older page. Cheers.

Not good unfortunately, its just a flood of images without any structure at all, its just a screen of jpegs.

Would much prefer the original format only because it needs no explanation, instruction or figuring out.

Understanding the 'search' tab takes you back to the original format but without the default options ticked, can this be fixed?

Thanks

common boys… CLICK ON SEARCH and everything is like always.... i don't understand the hate. browse and search always pointed to the same script you already know. now one doesn't.

Worst choice ever?!? maximum lame comment of the year !

Joker, if you claim it's so good, explain to us how it's supposed to be useful?
Right now it's a random sea of images that is NOT following our category choices, with a random number of pictures per torrent.
And it's slow as pouring molasses at the North Pole.

If you want to improve it,

ONE PIC PER TORRENT
include the torrent name at the very least
FOLLOW our category preferences. Mine is showing about 50% straight or bi porn and I have that turned off in my profile settings, so this is NOT working right now.

Sorry, guys, I can tell somebody put a lot of work into it, but right now it is absolutely useless in terms of finding anything I want to watch. Thumbnails are important, but without knowing any other information about the video (category, tags, even title) it's just not a useful tool.

And several of you guys keep saying we can have it the old way under Search.
This is not true, Search does not remember my category preferences.

Hi Guys,
I can understand the logic of making 'Browse' and 'Search' different - I never could understand why they were basically the same.
The only problem I have is that in the Search page, you can not set default categories, as you could in the old Browse.
Popper said in the chat window a couple of hours ago that you could set default categories in your profile. I have just checked, and there are only default categories for Browse. I did check to see if they applied to both Browse and Search, but they don't. Neither are any selections you make in the categories in the Search window remembered between visits. Is there any chance this could be fixed?
Thanks for all your work!!

it was programmed with the random option set as default. this shows basically just 1 pic per torrent.
before putting it live i just added (to quick) the option to show it by date of uploads… this can be enhanced. can you please give this a little time as it grews on feedback and ideas. you need more patience

i just forgot to add those str8 and bi filters.. which should work now. and the search button now has the same function as the old browse function before. hope that helps to be less confusing

I wonder if it would be possible to set the search feature like the old browse feature where it will only show the catigories that are chosen in a member's preferences.

it is exactly like this now. your pre-selected categories work on both, the new browse with thumbnails or in the old browse (now search)

@binded:

a option to add a next page after loading so many images either a hard set limit or a profile option that you can set your own limit
the page just goes for ever takes a crap ton of memory and page slows down after about 600megs used at 750 it was unusable

in random mode not a problem, but agrree, not in sort by latest torrent.
i guess a button to clear the browser and continue loading would work..

give it some time

Joker

now it appears a black "Clear browser" on the left bottom of the page when you scroll.. you can remove all pics and continue browsing to save memory and so browsers from collapse :blind:

Too much going on, too much clutter and repeated pics, agreeing with adventurous, keep it one or two large pics and the name of the torrent and organized please…

The First image I clicked on took me to the video, but the comments state that none of the 3 images are anything to do with the video. Had I known the comments I wouldn't have bothered clicking the images. Is this going to be monitored or some option to exclude these videos with misleading images?

I agree with a previous comment that the number of images needs to be limited, and I think making them display at a universal size would make the overall outlay more uniform and easier to follow. Thumbnail sheets are useless, these are often too small to appreciate images at the best of times but on this it's just a waste of space (memory)

I view the old list and go by the titles first, then check the images (hover over so I see all related images at 1 go) along with the description and comments. The image page doesn't let you know where one lots finishes and the next starts, so you could think something is in a torrent when it's not unless you check every image.

The overall concept is nice, but still needs a lot of work I think, so WELL DONE, but keep improving it.

I do hope that the original will not be removed, as for now I don't see me switching.

shiftless

I don't want to browse by image. Seeing titles is better.

Joker

dont worry guys, it was not intended to have this new browse way as a replacement - more like a new way of browsing beside the regular way

manyLoads

Please don't waste any more time on this pic browse thing. It sucks.

Yiazmat

It's a nice feature, since we still have the "regular" search option, the problem is that some people think that it was replaced.

I'll use it specially when I'm too lazy to roll over the titles to see pics

SOOOOOOO Happy you kept the old option in Search.

I'm on Windows 2000 with an old celeron computer with 260 K ram.

it took a few seconds and my system crashed. I had to reboot!

did that 3 times and 3 times crashed.

thanks

there is no reason for us to drop the old browse page, but anyhow we do live in 2k14 - you cannot blame a website for not running on such a crappy system. sorry
