One very very minor issue. I did a tag search on concert, and got 3 pics returned.
The thumbnail of this one[ Link ] said it had 4 comments where as as it only had 3. Dunno is the maths are going wrong somewhere. using firefox 3.0.8


Could be cached results.

on the front page, where it shows the thumbs of pics and movies with recent comments, if a particular pic or movie has been commented on several times recently it shows up more than once in the list.

This is because the search results are set in an session, as I never considered people searching 2 things at the same time. Is this really a must?

I kinda think alot of people would try to narrow it down. If I didn't know any better I would click a bunch of boxes
thinking it would help the search. If it's not a huge issue, it may help to be able to do multy searches.

I wouldn't consider it a "must" though.

I frequently search the Movie Gallery with multiple windows, and I experience the same situation cubsatl described with tag searches. It is an annoyance, but if you're going to work on the search pages, I'd much rather have you try to fix the forum search page so the "all words" checkbox actually restricted searches to only results that contained "all the words"

There should be a better way to notify members when they have new mail in their inbox. It is much easier to see new mail in V5 because an envelope appears in an otherwise unused area of the page, compared to the beta site where a single character changes in a line of text

I am missing a direct download option one you've reached the page with the movie player.

Or am I just missing a subtle strategy to make some $$$ by forcing people to become paying "members" in order to be able to download stuff directly?

In that case I will be able to do without WBW altogether - there are so many boards around...

Cheers

Yeah, I just noticed I had a PM from yesterday morning and only just now noticed it. I liked that feature on V5

@ FredCouple

Downloads from the Movie Gallery have always been based on the credit system. (Sponsor members have unlimited credits)
However the download link is in a slightly different location in the beta version (it's under the movie information on the lower left)

Do you have any "credits" available? If so, were you logged on?

I hate to put down the new design, but my first thought was that it looks like a significant set back in the area of design quality. The current home page is a lot more visually appealing than the new one. I like how the current theme utilizes white text on dark backgrounds for headings and sort of "boxes off" different content "modules", it really helps you scan through the page content faster. But yeah... hate to say it, but the new design looks like a real amateur approach to web design while the current one is slick and looks like a real professional put the whole thing together.

I do like how the top 5 babes and movies have the mini thumbnails now. I like the forum pages and some of the other misc pages too, they look nice. Although I'm not feeling the look of the buttons at the top (new topic, watchlist, search, etc.) I noticed the forum page is broken in IE6 (as are several things in this shitty browser), I attached a screenshot of that page in Fire Fox 3 and in Internet Explorer 6. On the "showpicture" page I like how the current one has a more "centered" layout than the new one... this -> (http://whatboyswant.com/showpicture/1141191/1/) as opposed to this -> (http://dev.whatboyswant.com/showpicture/1141191/1/).

I'm a web developer/designer myself so i know it can really piss someone off to put down their work. I love the site and I remember the last site upgrade when the design changed and I remember that I really loved it and was excited about it the moment it was launched. You don't usually see that kind of design quality on a site with this kind of content. I really think the current site design (meaning just the look and visual appeal) still has life left in it and shouldn't be abandoned just yet. Take a moment to check out this article from A List Apart (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/redesignrealign), it's all about product/website redesign and offers lots of great advice about the subject.

On the "last forum posts" some of the titles are too long and go onto 2 lines, but they're still cut off.........you can't have it both ways. Either have it on one line and cut it off, or go onto 2 lines and don't cut it off until the end of the 2nd line.

Really not sure if either of these are bugs, but they really looked out of place. IE 7 I believe.


Links somewhat covered up by the background.


Hope this helps.

Can you please 'rescue' us by showing us one of your professional looking layouts?

I absolutely agree. I know a little about design myself (studied with Adrain Frutiger for a while), and as far as readability and recognizability are going, the current design beats the new one by far...

@ Diz-X

Nice way of talking to somebody who contributed some $$$ to this site (apart from running a thread with over 100,000 views). But I won't be put off by any of *your* lame comments, my little Dutch friend...

@brownell

Do I get this right? You only can download stuff if you are a paying member? "Free Members" are allowed to download movies only up to a filesize of 5 MB???

Why should one put in all the work to find long (and huge) real amateur movies if nobody can download them without paying?

Please, brownell, help me to understand...

Cheers

FredCouples

P.S.: Ok ok, I got it - free downloads are still possible in the "Forum"...and they will remain "free", right?
