New Design
-
It does look cleaner.
But the Bright yellow font is still hard on the eyes.
How about a more soft gold color?
And the ratio red font color is too dark - very hard to read.
How about an update of the category icons. Always look to busy to me and difficult to see when they are the small ones…
I am willing to contribute icon designs as per attached to help.

As with others I found the text in the individual torrent description fields to be too small, when I enlarged it using the PC's setting (yes I'm that old) the whole page started to look weird. I was struggling (even with my glasses on) to see the text in any useful manner.
I found the other changed to be OK, I could navigate OK and found what I was looking for.
Cheers

I agree that it is much more mobile friendly, but…
(A) More clicks to get around the site, and
(B) Can we get seed bonus info in the header (maybe under ratio?). I like to keep an eye on it and not let it build up too much.

It would be good if you would stop the afddition of :
onto images of some posts.
It is useful to be able to download covers and art for use in media players but this ruins the image.

Thanks for the new font size. All looks great now. Great Job.

Hey! Thanks for the hard work and the possibility to give you a feedback!
I have a problem in the browse section. Some torrents have enormous images that make it difficult to immediatly see the description i have attached a pictore to show you the problem, the red square show you that the image presented is a very long "collage" of several pictures an it makes it difficult because you have to scroll down sometimes far down to be able to highlight the information button Thanks

I keep getting 'plugin blocked' in chrome. what's with that?

Hello!
Congratulations on your work as a designer on the site, it looks amazing!
There are some points that I think can be improved:
-
Category icons need to be more modern to match the new site;
-
The number of characters that appear in the torrent name could be increased;
- The description of the torrent, when I place the mouse over the "…", the window that appears, it is out of alignment:
I would suggest doing this: remove the description from the list of torrents and place it in the window that appears in the preview of images, the images would be below the description and side by side, the result would be something like this:
And again, congratulations for all work!

Overall, I like the look and feel of it. My one suggestion is to include the user's bonus points on the dashboard. I never look at my ratio or even think about it, but I'm constantly checking my bonus points. Thanks for letting us give feedback.

colors.. i am color blind and not much of a designer... so any helpful thoughts are welcome..meanwhile we have the ratio back on top of the menu. the color change from red to white once you are above 1.00.. maybe it should be displayed always in white color now.
i have to read the feedback and see what i can do. stay tuned.

Hi,
It looks like a lot of hard work has been put into the redesign. I love the cleaner and more streamlined look, although I am finding a few things are now buried under a few clicks instead of being on the main page - the downside of the cleaner look!
Using Safari on iOS.
The torrents display list is great and the picture pop ups when clicking a torrent link display nicely (much improved over the previous browser version).Thoughts so far:
1. The login screen. Any way to make the login button appear on the front page until you login rather than having to click the menu?
2. Menu system clicking on iPad. The menu buttons are on the top far right of the screen, then the pull down menu options appear on the far left (you can select the first pull down menu options by clicking on the right-hand side but not subsequent menus).
2. The torrents upload/download, ratio and bonus amount are ‘hidden’ in a submenu. Normally I quickly check that I have uploads/downloads displaying in the top menu - it’s an easy way to make sure I don’t have any tracker connection issues or that my VPN hasn’t fallen over. Personally I would like this to be on the main page at the top somewhere.
3. The Torrents Search/Browse buttons likewise being buried under a few clicks. I realize there are a lot of menu options, but perhaps the most common options people use e.g. Torrents or Forums can be added as a direct link on the main page?Cheers

P.S. I just noticed that in the header you do indeed have quick links for torrents/forums and the ratio information. In Safari on an iPad it doesn’t appear in portrait mode, it just displays in landscape mode.
So if that information can be squeezed into the space in portrait mode as well that would be fantastic -
like the color scheme, less garish colors. still can't up or download, that part sucks.

I loved the new design update ;D

Overall I like the new look. I like the recent changes including the larger font size and keeping the ration/bonus/etc. info at the top. Would love to see "Search" shown on its own rather than being under the Torrent menu as it's something that I click on a lot, but if I now nee to click twice instead of once so be it. I also love the suggestions made by SuitAndTieX as there seems to be a lot of empty space (when browsing from a laptop). I can understand interacting with the Forum on a phone or iPad, but I am curious to understand why someone would use a phone or iPad to browse the torrent list. As I download files to my laptop hard drive or attached storage, how do you download when using a phone?
Thanks for all the hard work. Love the site and appreciate everyone's contribution to it!

are you still in love?
or did you love it until you found out something was wrong? :cheers:like the color scheme, less garish colors. still can't up or download, that part sucks.
Can you give me some more details? The best thing to do is to contact the helpdesk. Then our moderators can see how they can help you.

I will deal extensively with the menu and depending on the window size I will bring more or less functions into direct access. I'm even thinking about a small configuration option for each individual. e.g. a selectable menu item will always be visible, even in the smallest view. But these are all new ideas that still have to be tried out. Give me a little more time.
Also all suggestions of SuitAndTieX make sense and will be implemented. Also here in search-mod a lot will happen depending on the window size.
There were already suggestions for a new icon design above. What do you think about it? I really need help there. and someone who prepares photoshop files for me. There are always some new categories (like trans) coming up from time to time. And if the designer is gone, someone else has to do it. I'm not so good at it (as you can see).Understand this new version as a work-in-progress version. Of course I hoped for feedback from you and now I get more and more what I expected: You are all really great ! Thank you for taking the time to think about it.

I have to agree with flox38 above. I don't know know if it's related to the redesign or just something I noticed coincidentally for the first time today, but in "Browse" some torrents have ridiculously tall vertical-banner type main images that are just way too big. One of them forced me to scroll down nearly two pages to get to the end of it to get more torrents to load and then scroll back up to see them. A maximum image height in browse would be amazing.
Other than that I mostly like the redesign a lot. I'll have to get used to the new menu (specifically the Torrents drop down), but I realize I'm a creature of habit and I appreciate the work that went into this. It's looking good!

The new layout is absolutely beautiful, and even seems more functional. I immediately noticed the cleaner look the moment I logged in. No complaints / Just praise.

i saw this myself.. there will be a maximum height of pics. if they are higher, the system cuts the rest. i dont see any other solution. i dont understand why people upload such strange format pics :crazy2:

I want to respond to this positive message on behalf of all the other positive comments:THANK YOU :love: :love: :love: !! I am glad that you like it so much. The new layout is not yet perfect. You can see that from the comments of the others. But I think we all notice that this update will bring fresh wind into our site. Your feedback motivates me to go through code that is more than 10 years old. A very rocky but necessary road. It opens the doors to some completely new features you wouldn't even dream of. You can be curious. But first the layout has to be adjusted to our satisfaction. After that I have to take a look at this forum. Its a mess. No search and destructed design. I'm afraid of it because it's very complicated (it even needs db downgrades before it can be updated..) and the forum will be offline for several days. Just a warning: Not everything will be the same as before. I ask for your understanding in advance. But after that I can finally unleash my creativity. No doubt: you gonna freak out !

I'm not so good at it (as you can see).I'm very good with photoshop and I can even prepare a file to be used as a base for future categories, so if a new category comes up, it would be easy to create a new icon to match the others.
It would be a little difficult for me to select images to use, but if there was a small group or a specific forum for suggestions of these images, it would be very nice and I would offer to help in editing.
