FA UI beta
10 years ago
Aesthetically, it certainly LOOKS much better - not nearly as blocky as before. The site finally looks more like a modern site. No earth-shattering changes, it still definitely looks and feels like FurAffinity - just smoother and crisper.
Functionally, there's no major difference that I have encountered yet. I haven't tried to submit something, though, so I don't know if the process there has changed or not. There are some layout changes, though, that I'm a little iffy on.
1. The front page. It's nice having the journal/announcement thing on the right. However, to make room for that, they took away the split category thing for new submissions to reduce the total number of new submissions showing on the front page. And, with no separate literature designation on the front page now, it essentially means it'll be impossible to catch written work on the front page any more. As a writer, I am not happy about that.
2. User profile pages. Everything's been shuffled around. The user profile info is no longer at the top of the page, you have to scroll down to see it. In its place is where the submissions/favorites are, but like with the front page, things have been compressed - now you can either see the user's latest submissions OR the user's latest favorites, but not both at the same time, it's a toggle option. That's not as bad as losing the literature from the front page, or as bad as the user profile info now being secondary, but it's still a bit annoying.
The new beta is a step or two in the right direction, I think, but since it's functionally nearly identical to the previous version, I think there's still definitely improvements to be had.
=EDIT=
Minor bug report: images that are wider than your screen don't produce the L-R scroll bar when you try viewing them full size. (example: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16036317/ , vore for radarn) I assume this is just a beta bug and not a serious coding problem. If you hit "download" to view the image in a screen by itself, it's fine.
=EDIT2=
The text in your message center and in user's favorites galleries are messed up, the username for a particular submission being ran up against the end of the submission's title. Also, the grey/blue/red border on submissions designating maturity level is much harder to see ATM.
