      The new picture browser is an interesting option. I'm glad the search feature is still available. I know that many guys base their downloads mainly by the photos, but I like to see the stats - file size, comments, and description - at the same time as the photos. I  :love: gaytorrent!

        I tried the new picture browser again today, and I see there have been some slight changes (since the last time I used it) that made it more comfortable; in particular, the pop-up of the title and description seems to work better now, and makes it much better for looking over what's new than it was when I first tried it.

        I have a number of new comments.

        (1) when people create a new torrent, it would be nice if you provided some mechanism whereby they can exercise more precise control over which of several images will be used to illustrate the torrent as a pop-up in new picture browser, and which will be used to illustrate the torrent on the older search page.  At the moment, as far as I can make out, the first image to be uploaded to a new torrent announcement is the one used as a popup on the old search page, and the last image to be uploaded appears in the new picture-browse and on the page of the torrent itself (before you expand or leaf through the other images).  I think you should allow the uploader to select his exemplary figures for these two purposes.

        (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.

        (3) I still think you should add a control to the main page of a torrent that allows that torrent to be added to the "wish list"–this feature is only available at the moment on the old search page, and so users who prefer to use the new picture-browser have no way to mark a torrent for their wish list except to go back to the old search and choose the wish-list control there.

          In brief:

          (1) Something going beyond that proposal is in preparation
          (2) That is noticed and reported by many users and will be fixed ASAP
          (3) That made it already to the long "to-do list"

            I never post here in the forum, but I had to chime in here to say I LOVE the new picture browser. Especially since we still have the option to use the regular search. COOL 😎

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

                (2) should be fixed now
                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

                  Oh, good!  I'll be sure to test it today, and see if I can confirm (as a naive user) that things are working more smoothly!

                  Thank you!

                    I think it's confusing and prefer it the old way. Not everything can be transported by pictures.

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

                          We should have the regular torrent browser set as default, and then people can choose to go to picture browser if they want.

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

                              Well I  thinks the newer "Browse" feature is still at 0.8
                              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:

                                Where can I change the default to be the old search browser.  I don't like the pic browse and please don't tell me I can just click the search to go back to the old way. I already know that.  I don't want to click. I just want the old search to pop up.  Thanks

                                  indeed it took a while since i find some time to make the necessary changes…

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

                                    I'm Not a fan of the new photo browsing option. 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.

                                      What happened to the browser??? BOOOOO! I don't want to sit and have to read descriptions and have to sort out individually every single one!

                                        You don't need to - just press the 'Search' button and the old familiar world awaits 🙂

                                          OK, guys, WTF??? Is the old interface coming back or no???
                                          Cause I have the same page - regardless what I click "browse" or "search".
                                          Please, tell its temporal.
