That would get you a dislike.

Way to be helpful in your criticism.

They're still there. The number just isn't showing.

I don't like being critical because of the hard work gone into this but feedback is always good regardless of it being positive or negative.

My gripes:
Too slow
The old site was more clear and compact making nagivation so much easier.
Scrolling up and down is sketchy.
Too much space between posts and larger fonts against a white background increases the screen glare. Why is there so much space on the left hand side for the user avatar? No need for it as most of it is blank space.
The black background looks cheap.
No. of comments on each pic avatar missing.

Wow, quite the reaction.

I think as with anything, change can unsettle people very easily. However, making demands like 'change it back or I quit' aren't exactly helpful. The new site is a work in progress and what Diz is essentially doing is giving everyone the chance to have their say in what works and what doesn't. Sure, it may take a few weeks to get everything spot-on, and I daresay there will still be certain aspects that people don't like, but now is your time to speak up. But you should be saying what things about the new look you do and don't like. Not many website owners would be so open to ideas or opinions, and Diz doesn't HAVE to change anything if he doesn't want to.

I logged onto the site literally about 5 minutes ago, and I've not really had much of a look around just yet. Things I have noticed have already been mentioned I think:

- the site seems very slow.
- my uploaded babes have disappeared from my user area.
- my favourites have disappeared from my user area.

I'm not really a fan of the home page either, but that IS after a very brief look. The last version was neater and easier to see what was going on. I can't decide if that's purely because it's new and will take some getting used to, but at present it does look a little 'all over the place'.

I'll play around a bit more and I'm sure I'll have more opinions later, but will things like the favourites and uploads appear a bit further down the line?

Your favorites are in the "babes" drop down menu

I agree. If you have a problem with the site, let Diz know what it is. Just saying it sucks doesn't help anyone.

Agreed, but I think it will get better....I hope.

They're still there. Just click on the 0 or "babes uploaded"

I think Diz said that they will be transfered over soon.

I have been here a long time. I just wonder why the extreme change? Ive seen changes before and learned to like them but this is now the run of the mill porn site! I can deal but need answers to the scoring voting and status question! Im sure some find that stupid. IMO you can look at porn in a million different places what grabbed me with WBW was the game of trying to see how much I could move up and gain points! Ive made a damn ton of votes and have run up a hell of a score and I cant see it! This will cause me too leave! I hope its just something that hasnt been fixed yet but damn why even put this new version on if u know its full of holes?

here I come chan and IE! WTF guys

You used to be able to see up to 200 Top Babes
Dividing the uploaded babes by day uploaded is a good idea but how it's displayed now isn't practical
The thumbnails are too big, not enough fit onto the page
Everything is too big, not enough information/pics fit onto each page
Everything loads too slowly
There should be "Last" and "First" buttons next to "Previous" and "Next" buttons wherever these buttons are located
Too much wasted space everywhere, when only one pic/video was uploaded on a certain day then the entire rest of the page is wasted
The genius of the former WBW was the amount of pics that could be perused at once, now there is too much scrolling and clicking. It's inconvenient

First of all, you all had a chance to try this version before and let know your opinion on it in the multiple betas that Diz ran.
The new site is not perfect, there are bugs and missing features but just saying "it's bad" without example isn't helpful.

A few answer to common questions though :

• uploads and favourites are no longer visible directly on a member profile. For your favourite you can go to Babes/Movies > Favorites. You can't see others favourites though.


• the watchlist is now called favourite too and you can access it the same way as pics/movies : Forums > Favorites


• the site is slow because of all the caching and imports the server are doing to go from the old to new site. I hope it will be faster later


• you can no longer tag unless you are a permanent tagger. I'll create a thread about that when everything is settled.


• there are no more user score but Diz said he was thinking about something to highlight the community interactions.


• you can now unlock "members only" picture with credits.

To finish : good luck Diz

Still better than the last one.

I LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!! Gonna have to learn it but it looks good. Keep up the good work ya'll.

My criticisms so far:

- Can't change # of posts per page

- Hot or not broken

- "Who is online" does't show what page the person is on (this was a good way to find spam-bots in the past)

- Tagging headers get in the way when trying to type tags in. Have to down-arrow to the actual tag instead of just press return

- Home page lags

- Watchlist/Favorites in order of topic creation, not in order of topic most recently posted

- Too much empty space in the gallery comments

Just don't understand why they did changed something what was totally OK ?!?!?

Things get stale, it needed a new look. It also needed some things fixed, that over time developed bugs and were no longer working, and lastly...people were asking for some new features.

As with any new site for users, there will be a learning curve...there will also be some bugs to work out, but I suspect that nobody joined the site in the first place because of how it looked...we all joined for the pics, videos, forums, etc. All those things are still there, just how you access them has changed a little.

Ok. An apostrophe in the word don't broke the character set in a pm. :/

I like it. Always a few bugs after a launch, but it looks good and I'm excited to explore it. Nice job folks.

there is a ton of deadspace between like... everything.

and the mobile site scales like 15% too large.

Agreed. The gallery comments are especially bad in this regard.
