My Beta UI Thoughts
10 years ago
General
Quite liking it to be honest. I'm SO used to the light FA though, so wandering around in the dark is so foreign to me now. It's still simple enough to use, so I'm content and I'm enjoying the control panel being so accessible.
I think the only things I'm not a fan of is the placement of the advertisements at the top right of the page. It really takes away from the banner. :( I do have an ad blocker, but I wanted to see what it looked like without it on.
Not a huge fan of the notes section, rather, the overall size of the website. At 100% it just feels like font is too big, so taking the website to 90% feels just right for me and my eyes. XD;; I use a large screen, so its like "WOAH ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" But yeah, I'll stick to 90% viewing! XD
Love the search function now. So much easier having a field to do a quick search.
Hiding of favourites - I always have mine hidden anyways. It just felt cluttered when I post stuff. I know it's bad to think of it this way, but hiding favourites now means people won't find other artists nearly as easily. Sometimes another artist catches your eye and you follow their submission to their pages. I feel like there will be less finding of others - I think its how I've found at least 1/3 of the artists I watch.
And lastly the parental advisory logo was great where it was. :< Now it's joined forces with the submission text box making it really feel unbalanced. I do like the keywords are sort of a border above the comments though!
Overall, happy with the new UI. I'll be sticking to the beta so I can get used to the functionality. New tax year, new website year! Heres to the new bits!
Cheers for making progress guys! x

Edit; If you follow scraps and go to "Next page" it takes you back to the "Gallery."

I've been using the dark settings since... and I'm amazed at how many people customize their profiles for dark. Some of them look so much nicer....but eh. Probably switching back to light soon.
Might have to look into this myself and see how it works... as for a big screen I tend to use a TV so a zoom would be a great idea.
SO laps while your in such a good mood n full of energy...

That being said, I can't sake the feeling that we've seen this layout pop-up somewhere before as a beta from a year or so ago. But that could be me
