New Design
-
Ona desktop system, the new layout uses MUCH larger fonts and so FAR fewer results are viewable at a time, which I find is a big disadvantage. An ability to change the size would help.

something broke on the search page
it just went fullscreen to use all the space your browser has to offer
can i disable the descriptions, though? It doesn't look well
i tried revering back to the old layout but that didn't help -
Hi to the design team!
The idea of a new design is really good, but I'm not sure why GAYtorrent should be 'more mobile friendly' as down-/uploading takes usually place on a stationary PC. But anyway, I have two things to report, which are irritating me:- Within the new search listing it's now more difficult to identify each torrent, because the font sizes are similar and due to the more space between the torrents you see much more text and cannot easily identify each torrent - that was much earlier in the old version
- The text description are not visible completely - I don't know why this is that way, but I'm using Firefox and my screen is set to 125% scaling (with a 2560x1600 resolution)
Both topics can be seen in the screenshot.
All other aspects are really good! Thx!

If I use number page bar I can't go beyond the number 10001-10050 (page 200).
I use Firefox and Tor browsers.200 pages is maximum. use the search option for less result. the Pager (as higher the page as more work it is todo for the database. so this option to page till the end will not be available anymore for performance reasons)

well.. at the end i might put some toggles to change the view in realtime.

i tried revering back to the old layout but that didn't helpthis was not my intention.. so when you use the "old layout" the search button directs you to the old version again

1. i change the colors again… the title has now a light yellow color which makes it easie to seperate each torrent. also the background colors are now more different to reflect the different torrents better.
2. the description: if there is to much, a little scrollbar should appear (only if to much text avail) this is how it is ment to be -
One of the things I am really liking is the better contrast of colors. I had to switch back and forth a bit to double check, but both the dark grey being a little more darker and the green in a few places popping more make it easier to parse (at least in my head). Everything is looking a lot more sharper and distinct. The paler green of the notice/message area really shows how much better the new colors improve the site!!!

I generally like the new layout but:
1. I'm seeing more and more pictures in picture view that are either too long or too short. (You cant click on the picture if it's too short since the hover popup covers the whole thing. And the long pictures just takes up too much space unnecessarily)
2. The search view on pc is spanned across the whole screen which makes it very hard to take in the information because you have to move your eyes a lot while there is too much white space in the middle. The old layout got this right but there is no option to turn off search 2.0.I look forward to the final version of this but for now please let me change back to old search view. Thank you!

I actually like the older one, altho this one looks clean and less laggy. BUT, I do think ratio should be highlighted or in evidence please
requested by many so far: the stats are "ALWAYS ON" again :cheers:
I do like, as the screen width gets smaller, that the stats "disappear" in sections and then all together. A small minor suggestion that might help, having the up and down numbers on top of each other (Stop it, just, no. Stop.) instead of side by side (as the others are stacked) would eeck out another few pixels before disappearing.

i have no final ideas yet, but i like to add also the messages to the view. so you see again ALL informations as long your browser size allows it.

1. i have to work on that module…. actually i am on search2.0 how you call it.
2. it is ment to be fullscreen. you just could decrese the size of the browser window. i have plans to add some of the pictures here too. so you see even more of each torrent without to have to click. maybe there will come a switch to toggle between a "smaller" view and the lets say "extended view" -
I like it, especially the main index pane (strip) that stays frozen at the top of the page, even when one scrolls down.
…
Members can be reminded that pages can grow (or shrink) with browser controls (e.g., "Cntrl" & mouse wheel).This is definitely worth noting. If zoomed in too far, some elements from the top bar disappear (traffic statistics, active torrents, ratio, bonus…).
For the shy:
Holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and moving the mouse wheel up or down will enlarge or shrink the web page contents (which direction performs which action depends on your system settings). In most browsers, Ctrl-zero on the keyboard will restore the contents to their default size (also called 100% zoom).You can also zoom in or out using just the keyboard:
Zoom IN: Ctrl and + (⌘ and + on a Mac)
Zoom OUT: Ctrl and - (⌘ and - on a Mac) -
I very much appreciate all the work that has gone onto this, and i do find a lot of the design much cleaner and friendly, but….
I regret to say that I find the SEARCH page is filled with too much information for each torrent. It feels like I am being assaulted with more information that I want, and this makes it difficult to identify and focus on the information and torrents that I do want. And because each torrent is given more real estate on the page, there are fewer torrents on the screen as you scroll through; I find this very disorienting as it is hard to tell where I am on the page - it is disorienting I much prefer this page as it was: giving me a very brief teaser with mouse-rollover to access to pictures, helping me decide quickly if I wanted to explore the torrent further. With the new layout, I found myself developing a headache trying to weed through what is worth reading and what is not worth reading, and finally giving up. Sometimes less information is actually more, because it helps one focus and choose. Too much information defeats that purpose.
But, again, thanks for all the care and good work.

Honestly i'm not going to complain much i have only 2 requests (with 1 bonus)
1. I only use this site on my computer and when i click on the photos while i'm looking to download a torrent, usually the images all come up on the SAME page and i can click from right to left then X it and still have the original page right in front of me. It was neat and easy. Now as soon as i click on a picture, i'm out of the torrent page and i just have the JPEG. So then i have to load the previous page again, and the same thing with every other picture… Can you fix that please, sir ?
2. The BROWSE button is kind of... the most important one ? I wish it had been chosen as one of the main tabs at the top of the page.
Bonus : I wish the option to keep the old version was never taken away from us.....EVER ! And i say that for every site that has updates :afr2: But is the reasoning that it will start fucking up after a while ?

pls go back to how it was. the current one is messy

1. can you clear your browser cache? this still should work as expected.
2. Other people think the "search" button is the most important one. DAMN is it so hard to click one more time?
3. if anything changes in your life… do you complain or try to get used to it?! -
pls go back to how it was. the current one is messy
uhmm there is a button for that, as stated, multiple times.

I would appreciate your feedback on today's design update. Some of you have already reported about fonts that are too small. It is always very important to know where exactly on which page you see a problem. Then we save ourselves unnecessary questions back and forth. Of course I am also happy about every positive feedback, without any change wishes. :cheers:
I love the new streamlined design. For me it's easier to navigate. I'm on an older mac device and it actually seems to work better than the previous incarnation.

The cleaner layout is nice, but it would be helpful, I think, if you provided the ability to control some aspects of the search page.
- choices of how much description to display, and an option to provide it via hover popup or a click-to-expand button on the item listing instead
- choices of displaying the category thumbnail image or perhaps a primary uploaded image related to the torrent.
- perhaps choosing from a selection of column styles where there are full scrollable description columns as well as shortened minimal description columns; expand this to even having individual columns for things currently combined into one, like the "Info" column, which could also allow for a category image column and a torrent image column.
For my use, the current new version is exceedingly too spread out and too noisy. I intend to keep using whatever the default is as you develop this, though, just in case it's just something I need to get used to.
Also, just to mention, I have never really used the "Browse" option, but I think it would be more useful to me if it offered a way to easily indivicate what I've already downloaded, perhaps like "Freeleech" is overlaid as a banner, or dimming the image until it is hovered over.

there will come configuration options of this view… at the moment, you see also pics in that view.. i would call this EXTENDED view...

New design is much, much, much better that previous one.
:cheesy2:

The link to Search has now been moved out of the Torrent drop-down menu and put back on the menu bar. That inconsistency is confusing. If you are going to use drop-down menus, commit to them. It took me a few seconds to realize that Search was really missing from the drop-down menu and then to spot it in the new location.
