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

      please avoid stupid no-brain comments like that or the database might get a hiccup and remove you like this guy

        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  😉

        instead of reading people start crying. what a stupid community

          since i'm lazy when i'm tired, and i'm tired A LOT, i'll be using this…A LOT. 🙂 found some stuff already. 🙂

          maybe an option in the profile to change the default way search currently works?
          default is browse so people who don't read this thread (even if they look at it -lol) won't cry about pic browser, option is to restore search to it's default behavior.
          checked categories are saved, but not active if the setting is to default (old) search version.

              why? people can get aware of it, and if they not like it or need to search something switch over to the old way while clicking on "search"

              before "search" and "browse" lead to the same script.

              one thing is still different: search opened the browse page with no pre-selected categories from profile, while browse took them from users profile.

                  Some of the descriptions fall off the side of the page.  Specifically, if you hover over an image in the second or third column on the left-hand side.

                  I've attached an image.  Hope it helps.

                              For me, yes  🙂 and I see the torrent title is displayed in the tooltip as well, now.

                                Hate it, I won't be using it.  Takes forever to load.  Good idea though, love that the site keeps getting upgrades.

                                  I like it Joker. Obviously not perfect but once fine tuned its a good system

                                  My request would be is there a way to have two different views like a toggle between grid and list for example where list would have the cover photo for each torrent and the title and maybe size beside it? Sort of the old list but with the cover photo displayed and blown up and with less but more important information. I know its more work for you but I think it could be useful.

                                  Just a thought anyway. Otherwise I like the change 🙂

                                    Okay, after some thought, I do like the idea of the change but I'm not a fan of the new browse page as it currently stands. I have 2 complaints about  it.

                                    first: I hate hovering over a torrent and seeing something that just doesn't turn me on or that I find unsettling, like open areses. I then instantly unhover. At least with the normal "browse/search", there are sub category thumbs or descriptions which might give you some warning about the content you might see. And then it's my fault for taking the risk. With this new browse, everything is instantly dumped right in your face, big dicks, small dicks, daddies and sons, fisting, interracial etc… Having what you don't like unchecked in your profile doesn't always mean you won't see it. I'm not talking about the recent bug fix, but the fact that videos still appear under wrong categories or are hard to place under just one category and so have their "main" category set as say.. "hunks" or "bareback" but that contains "twinks" and "interracial". Whilst I understand that it's hard to decide which category something should belong in, the browse page forces you to view it all.

                                    second: forcing a user to download so many images is never a good idea, it's bad internet etiquette and some users may have slow connections, download limits etc...

                                    I understand where the changes are coming from but I think this first draft needs some work, if you want some sort of "recent upload" thumbnail preview, I think it might work better with fewer images, i.e the last 10 uploaded torrents (excluding ones from categories that are unchecked), and in some sort of carousel rather than a screen dump (it just looks like a bunch of random images). That way it could also be contained in a small "banner" like module and it would be easier on the eyes and the bandwidth. However the problem still remains of seeing things someone might not like. Is there a way to take into account the "sub categories" for each torrent, and filter the torrent if any of these also match anything unchecked in the profile. For example, I have "daddies and sons" unchecked but I'm still seeing torrents that have this as a sub category. It might also help to rename it from "browse" to something like "browse images" or "browse thumbnails" or "browse torrent images".

                                    Apologies if any of this has been addressed, as it took a while to write!

                                        I can understand certain people liking the new pic-browser, but I'm not really a fan.  It's just an unorganised stream of pics which makes the screen waay to busy for my taste.  I like the old browser better, it's more organised and clear.  More to the point.

                                        If the pic-browser stays, I hope that there will be an option to turn it off or on in our personal profile.

                                        Just my 0,02  🙂

                                          There is something in these comments I don't get: Why to switch the new picture browser off in the Profile?

                                          Just don't use it and continue to use the "Search" which got the usual presentation.

                                          The picture browser is not meant to replace the torrent list, but as an alternative way to discover torrents.

                                            If that option stays in, it's good enough for me  🙂

                                            Furthermore I was just voicing my opinion as requested in the first post.  No need to get snappy.
