New look

Slow as hell to open pics

Not a big fan of the new design, but I really hate how slow the page is now. Used to be you could click around on here and it would load almost instantly, now it has to load for several seconds almost every time you click something. Very disappointing.

I'm trying to figure out how to set my view settings to 200 per page (instead of the default 25). I can't seem to find it. Am I missing something?

Will be added later on, it's not available now. but will be in a couple of days. Sorry.

Wow...i did not know that the best Site of the world gets a new look. On the first look i must say that i think the renewing is very modern looking, and has a good feeling. Now i will test it intensivly ;-). All the best for the Whatboyswant-Team!!!

Bugs are to be expected on any new start. I'm Notech and I'm just stumbling my way thru for a bit.

So far I like the speed.

I keep seeing the comments about how it's a new site from the ground up, and how everything needed to be recoded. That's all good and well. As a former programmer myself on some HUGE coding projects for some huge, well-known corporations (i.e. individual projects worth 6 figures), coding from the ground up does not mean changing the user interface. You can recode from the ground up to your heart's content and still leave the user interface as it was, or darned close to it.

So I'm not really sure why people keep saying the site changed because all the code needed to be changed. Those are silly comments from people who have never touched a line of code in their lives, and don't understand what goes into it.

That said, the site is starting to grow on me, and the speed is slowly improving. I still hate the front page. It looks like Windows 8 (which is just awful), but apparently that's on the list of things to fix. Maybe the new site won't be so bad.

Hope the scrambled pic issue is at the top of the list, because I'm still getting them.

Try cleaning your cache (or just press Ctrl+F5 when you see a pic like that).

There was nothing wrong with the old format. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. You messed up.

It was broken on some parts (see previous posts) and the old code wasn't workable.

I am very sorry, but I think it is horrible.

Care to explain why ?

I think those comments have to be understand as : the site had issues and the code had to be rewritten, so a new site have been built from the ground and it was the opportunity to change the design as well. Of course it could have been kept quite similar, but let's be honest, the design was out of date (even though I understand the complains about the front page).

I don't like no longer having a user score.
It helped in understanding the activity and stuff of the members. At least it was easier at a glance before.

Me either. I've looked at a bunch of pictures and have not had that issue.

I don't doubt that the problem is on my end, but I can't figure out whats changed on your end so I can fix it on my end. Every pic is scrambled now, before the site change they all looked fine.

It's no longer possible to make a search by category in the top movie option I already miss the old look...

Did you try cleaning your cache or is the problem also occurring on pics you have never seen before today ?

It's a missing feature that have already been reported

I think Diz planned to have something to reward members according to their activity (at least it's in the suggestion at the moment). I hope it will turn out well because I too miss this idea of having a "gamy" feature (Assman also posted something about that earlier).

Perhaps out-of-date, but it was usable. I haven't seen a single comment in this thread saying that the old design was awful or behind the times. All you hear is praise.

No, it was not useable. Posts would be automatically wiped-clear if they contained certain characters. A forum that randomly eats posts is not a useable forum.

I've just uploaded 16 images, and although I saw a screen confirming it, my total 'uploads waiting' didn't increase from the 30 that were already there. Is that a glitch?

Have you tried using a different browser? I've noticed that the performance of the site is appreciably better in Chrome than it is in Firefox, for me.

Looks fine to me

Yes I've cleared the cache, no luck. check post #51 for a screen capture Diz asked for in response to my post #41.

Your babe queue says 46 pictures are waiting to be moderated, so it seems to have worked.

the light background suck cause it uses more energy and my eyes is getting tired more quicly looking at it and i wonder if my uploaded pics is going to reappear or its lost forever?
