New Design
-
To be honest, I find the new search page way too cluttered compared to the old one, especially because of the thumbnail pictures (that show anyway when you hover over the title). The side scroll bar also makes scrolling down the full search page more difficult.
As a general rule, I far prefer sites with cleaner layouts and more blank space.
That said, you can never please everyone. Maybe we'll all get used to it in time!
-
I like it, the only issue I've noticed is on the search pages, when hovering over the title of the torrent to get the picture preview popup, the top of the first image is hidden underneath the new page header.
any updates about this issue? still having this problem
other than this, i still prefer search (old) -
I like the older design better because it loads a lot faster and with less stuff to scroll through
-
sorry but the new layout drives me crazy
why fix what's not broken?
In Safari it seems now everything is so big and a lot of space wasted, scrolling through the page now seems forever; I quite like the old design - compact and easy for the eyes. See the screenshots - this is how the new layout looks on my screen compared to the old one.
-
I actually like this one better. It's nice to be able to see the description without actually having to click them. Saves time :cheers:
-
I was not a fan of the new layout with all the thumbnails and other stuff on the screen…but once I learned how to tailor the display to my liking using the three little toggle buttons on the right of the screen (see image below), I can now make the display the way I like it...and I think it's better than before. My thanks to the designers for including these.
I would urge other Gentle Users to fiddle with these buttons and see what they can do for you. You might find the results pleasing.

Overall I like the new layout very much! It's such much neater and the little thumbnails are really fantastic. Everything looks much smoother and in general much better. Great work!
My only suggestion would be a slight tweak to the previews that appear when you mouseover the titles. They almost always pop up a preview upwards, which is hard to see in its entirety. If they popped up downwards instead, they would be much easier to see and more helpful.

The Search Page is getting much better and I loved the icons that show / hide the images and descriptions but there are some things that need to be improved:
- Reduce the font size used in the name of the torrents and the name must be displayed only on a single line;
- The distance between the torrent name and the description could be reduced;
- Reduce the font size used in the description and, if possible, leave the text "justified" for better alignment;
- The color of the hyperlinks must be changed, it is black and with the new background color, it is very difficult to visualize;
- The images of the categories should be better aligned and, if possible, display the complete image (the small images are cut);
- When an icon is activated to show/hide images and descriptions, I think it should be a different color indicating whether or not it is activated (White/Green);
- The symbol ♺ could be a different color, perhaps green, to stand out among the file title;
- I realize that the space that each torrent occupies is very large, and when the information is hidden, it ends up having a lot of space without anything, I would like a more compact listing when the description and images are hidden.
Attached is a preview of how it is and how it could look.
PS: I couldn't align the description text in photoshop so I got as close to the justified as I could.

It looks very nice so far, totally dig it.

I like the new layout but one thing im not a fan of under "Search (new)" is it seems a little cramped. I like the old hover over to see more pics vs show thumbs to keep load times down. Nothing major just my opinion. For now i'll keep using Search (old).

I switched back to the old design last week after seeing all of the problems with the new design. I posted my complaints and changed back today to see the progress. Some of the problems have been addressed, which is good. :clap2:
But it seems like the new design has become far less efficient.
I can only fit 4 or 5 torrents on the screen at once now, whereas with the old design I could fit 11. That means double the amount of scrolling, so I don't see how this larger design is an improvement. Toggling the descriptions is a nice addition, but the torrents don't get smaller when the descriptions are off. It just cleans up some of the clutter.
Can you make the fonts and the spacing smaller so it's actually using all of the space available?
-
Thanks for making the "old version" of the search page easily accessible.
As I believe I said before, I find the new design of the search page off-putting. Too much clutter of information, making it hard to focus in on what's important. Each time I have tried it, it just frustrates me and gives me headache - so I give up.
Everything else in the new design seems fine (thank you for all the effort and care), but I would not recommend moving ahead with the new search page design

that is the point!! Finally you will have ALL those views in one and you will be able to configure it how it works best for you.

if i would give up this quick and listen to people with no visions, this site would not be available today at all

And finally comments like that show me, that some of you already get the vision BEFORE everybody starts clapping at the end. Im sure almost all of you will!
thanks for this.. yeah.. the font sizes are now little to big.. i tweak it again in my next update. hyperlink colors already change now.
expect an update by tomorrow

Chrome user.
- I like the darker theme. The forum page numbers on the bottom left are difficult to read .middletext (I didn't realize this thread had 10+ pages until I swapped theme back) Edit: And the 'post preview' .post is also black on grey there (missing .windowbg's white).
- The hover-thumbnail-preview going off the top of the screen was annoying enough to swap to "top right mode", having a selection of first thumbnails is pretty good and getting used to.
- Preview of description is solid choice. I'd prefer the previous title and description size but a mild bit of zoom out fixes that. Really dont like that the description scrolls only as it occupys a lot of the screen and it captures the mouse scroll to the frame and in some cases you cannot scroll the page at all ever. Id suggest no-scroll, potentially with click-expand.
- Is there a rash of "original upload" reuploads? I thought that kinda thing wasn't allowed? Is there a way to search for a NOT with a dash, or have an option to exclude previously uploaded things, maybe a 'reseeding' category?
- Infos - far too much. Suggestion - just '10 hours ago' and the other date data in the hover. Same for Freeleech/time. Size of DL and the number of files (and put it the DL stats column?). I'd suggest using a simpler looking 'direct download' icon tho! (+Wishlist
Download) - The hover over file stays up for a loong time. It must have different vanish code than other popups.
hope it helps!

Thanks for the effort you put into this. For me at least, the overall feel is very jumbled. It's hard to tell where each new entry is. They all run together. And when you add the scrolling effect within each main window, it gets a little dizzying. Maybe add a little blank space between each entry?
-
Some more icons I made
could you please contribute your icons here: https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=66791.0
i really like them so far..

Honestly I would take anything dark as long as it's not a white background. the thumbnails are amazing! scrolling now is very easy and faster when you're seeing everything in front of you without clicking on every torrent to see the details. I used to miss good torrents that I didn't notice because their title wasn't interesting enough, but now you can't miss anything uploaded.
-
I think the old design is a lot cleaner and practical. Having scroll bars in some torrents with long descriptions is very awkward and in general seems like the list ítems in the search are very bulky which makes you scroll down a long long page to see the same amount of results as before. Also, the Font is too big for my taste, just an opinion.
The Torrent detail pages seem alright, I don't know if there was a change there, however the search page is not very practical.
Hope this helps.

I have use a browser extension that blocks web content from third parties and I highly dislike having to whitelist (It's just this item https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js) for this website now to use the menus and show the thumbnails. The old design didn't make me do this. Please make the old design permanently accessible.

Hi,
I like the new look very much, but I switched back to the old layout because there is no switch to logout.
