Topic: Revert to old search layout

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

Also here to drop my two cents.
The setting to make thumbnails smaller exists but they're still larger than they were before.
The cropping is pretty awful, and even when disabled the borders still irritate me because they look like they're part of the pic.
And these two settings are not saved between sessions, unlike all the other user settings.
It also looks bad on mobile, arguably even worse than on PC.

I get the idea behind the update but I don't think it's ever applicable. I hope it's reversed soon.

I've been trying to limit my porn intake so for a while now I've only been looking at the first five or six rows but NOPE, now instead of having fifty images to look at I only have eighteen!

I am... so sorry.
I wish you speedy recovery.

I am like many others quite unhappy with this change. It has made the site quite a lot more frustrating.
Previously it was easy and convenient, with high quality version of the full images, but small. We could get an idea of what they were. Now it's cropped and blurry, and I barely know what I am looking at.

Please revert it, it's so unpleasant.

there we go, figured it out eventually; this should make the borders look like they used to, I think:

.posts-container a, .posts-container img { height: fit-content; }
.posts-container .thumbnail { align-self: end; }

1 thing I noticed: outline in the parent/children section under the posts is not aligned with the thumbnails even after your fix

Admins can direct the designers though.

It's going to keep happening until there are like an announcement (with instructions of how to revert if possible) before new features or changes go live, and no, people won't go to discord or the test page to check about upcoming changes/features.

first youtube making GIANT thumbnails now E6
what is with this dumb trend, it's always universally panned

The new layout is a definitive downgrade by hiding large part of the image, being overly large, having truly excessive whitespace and being horribly blurry. I thought my userscripts had broken or something, this is deliberate?

Thankfully the CSS overwrite reverts most of this awfulness, but still some images are cropped :/

Could this be put under an optional theme for legally blind people or something?

Updated

Why change a recipe for success?! The old UI was perfect.

Agreed, it makes the mobile experience awful. I'm not scared of changes or getting used to new visuals, but this just wasn't it.

.posts-container a, .posts-container img { height: fit-content; }
.posts-container .thumbnail { align-self: end; }

This mostly restores the old look, but sadly this breaks the new "Image crop" setting, meaning that it will now always crop the preview icon. :c (Which looks absolutely abhorrent on large or wide images)

it's obviously harder to read now

the previous style was much better because:

- i have 250 posts per page, and now i've got to scroll a LOT more. or set zoom to 25% and just not bother...

- if only that were the case. with the previous design, 99% of the time you could see the whole pic without opening the post page. not anymore.

- even on mobile, the previous style was way more readable. it sucks when there's only 2 columns with 'squared' pics.

yeah, i get it – the squares look 'nice' because they're more evenly distributed

but i believe this is exactly the case where functionality must outweigh beauty

Yeah this is pretty godawful on PC, haven't seen on mobile yet. Where's the revert button? Please don't tell me this is a permanent change...

It's ugly and wastes space. And the suggestion of using the desktop site to switch card size to 'small' just gives me smaller thumbnails still spaced three across when I switch back to mobile view, so the net effect is a lot of empty wasted space.

oh, weird. uhh... I'll just change it so it only touches the stuff that uses .posts-container (the grid view stuff).

.posts-container img { height: fit-content; }
.posts-container { align-items: end; }

(I will say that I think with these changes it's still slightly different than how it worked before, I think the click region used to be the entire grid area and not just the thumbnail itself)

omg this layout is horrible! all the images look very blurry now! wth! i get you want to spruce up the site but why mess with perfection!

please revert it!

And in the process of trying to get something similar to the old layout, I seem to have disabled the display of tags on the search and individual image pages.

i had to check the date, i thought it was april fools. It's so bad. Everything is so blurry and terrible looking... Thumbnails are PAINFUL. if it's not a joke, did someone hack the site and vandalize it? What's going on? Why hasn't it been taken down for maintenance if that's the case?

poppintarts said:

Revert it.

I wonder why people are never given choice, it's always you're forced to use something terrible until enough people bring up it's issues, it's then either reverted or here to stay. Where's an opt-in feature, opt-out
beta testing etc..?

How people somehow leap from bad ui design to the site being hacked is a phenomenon that should be studied
If the site were hacked why would said hackers mess with the ui rather than taking data and leaving without a trace

y'know what, this is the moment I appreciate the custom css field.
Please, just roll this update back and bring this idea back to the drawing board. you can see the outrage in just a few hours. Horrible on desktop, awful on mobile.

anicebee said:
How many misleading_thumbnail posts will need to be fixed now that the alpha channel seems to work for thumbnails?

It doesn't, sadly, it's just a blue background. Websites are averse to transparent thumbnails/previews.

Clearing cache and forcing refresh unblurred the thumbnails for me.

EDIT: OK, this works only on some cases...

thank you that helped a lot
i still think the new ui isn't as good but at least the site is usable now.

Geez, not a fan of the change either, but the criticism here is pretty brutal.
Hope the Dev/Devs don't take it to heart and use it as fuel to strive for better,
Dood.

Nope. still darkened bg bars and big square outline.

Also!

Some thumbnails appear cropped/low res while others are full size (even on the same search page) though i have "full" image crop setting. (maybe its cache, i need to try clearing cache didn't help)
blacklisted/deleted square was white(ish?) before the update, but now it's transparent black and SO oversized it overlaps the text next to it like, in half. (w h a t ?)

Am I alone on this one?

Updated

Like others have said: using the gear icon options with "full" and "small" and it looks the same as the original. I can't tell if it's different than before this update, which means it's a very subtle change if there is anything.

Am also having extremely blurred/out of focus thumbnails on desktop, will try the clear cache & refresh idea

p.s. the new "image crop" is extremely bad for making the thumbnails for any non-square images, it's just a pixelated mess, recommend to just revert that feature

Same issue with the blurry thumbnails. Plus cropping by default is a terrible default.

Probably something to do with the fact that 150 pixel thumbnails are being stretched to a 256 pixel <picture>/<img> tag.

Do I need an RTX GPU for this site and to enable DLSS upscaling? /s

It's a bad change, old UI worked fine. This fixes no problems and introduces new ones.

It reminded me of updates in many "messengers" that strive for something... constant updates for the sake of updates (I don't understand - why such changes in a site with porn).. The result is inconvenient for the end user.

I really hope that everything will return to how it was. But deep down I understand that nothing will be returned.

I am having large and blurry thumbnails as well (Chrome, Android).
The update also made most thumbnails cover the views/rating/favs bar on my phone lol.
E621 should revert to the normal design.

Man I don't even care about the blur, just that they're fucking gargantuan and it broke blacklisted avatars to overflow into textboxes. I'm assuming (or rather, hoping) this was an error rather than something deliberate.

Because some people just want to watch the (digital) world burn? This was a bad update. Among many bad updates. It really feels like they don't care about the users anymore and just decided to change things for better or worse and just be done with it.

Put together some CSS that makes Full+Small look almost pixel for pixel exactly like the old layout, doesn’t mess up Crop+Small or Crop+Large, and should in theory Just Work with Full+Large if/when they roll out larger thumbnails

Edit: added a bit to make blacklisted avatars not overflow

/* restore old layout */

@media (min-width: 800px) {
    body[data-st-contain="true"] article.thumbnail {
        min-height: unset;
        max-width: var(--thumb-image-size);
    }
}

Searches are still blurry after clearing all data

painful thumbnails..

so we all just need to give the feedback that we disliked the change and want it back like it was before or at least make it something one can change

I hate when people who don't have experience in UIX try UI.

One thing they absolutely failed to realize is that the more image space you use on a page, the images in the image space on the page dictate your colors and background.

The problem?

e621 is now BLINDING on bright displays, because the majority of the display space is the image thumbnails, the majority of which just have plain white backgrounds.

This means instead of being a comfortable dimly lit blue that it always has been, it's IN YOUR FACE BRIGHT WHITE across most of the monitor. That's even more annoying to me than the blurry icons.

I really liked the old, much much less IN YOUR FACE ui. It was comfy.

for me, it does not look like the original, it looks as if there is a lot of empty blue space

eranormus said:

There's now 10 rows instead of like 7 or 8, which used to dynamically scale a little IIRC.

A lot less blue background, and the icons are smaller than they used to be.

It's better but definitely not the same as it used to be.

I hate it, why the fuck are they doing this? Can't they at least test it before pushing to production?? cmon, y'all can do better than this.

ima just but my 2 cents in but, i feel like there should be a setting that allows people to change back to the old ui
cuz, shit is way to big on my end and i know there is a setting for it somewhere but i cant find it

I don't understand why in desktop mode it's at all an improvement to have the thumbnails cropped. What's even stranger to me is how the option to disable this "Disable Cropped Thumbnails" is only for mobile mode, and it doesn't even do what it says it does!

I may be an outlier here, but I tend to use desktop mode on my mobile device, as I preferred the look of the thumbnails in desktop mode, as well as always having the search bar and tags to my side. The latter has not been changed, but not being able to see the full image in thumbnails, as well as the desktop mode in mobile now only showing two images per row, is really irksome to me. Imo, it actively makes the site more difficult to use, and is a direct downgrade from what the UI used to be. I don't get why the desktop mode has been changed to be closer to the mobile mode. It makes sense that one mode would be catered to desktop while another for mobile. But I digress.

None of these CSS customization things seem to work for me on mobile, which is where I mainly use e621, so I basically have no fix for this change. I understand that the developers are trying to update and improve the site, and they no doubt put in a lot of work into these changes, but to me at least, it makes the site more difficult and tedious to use. I really hope that this is reverted, or at the very least provide an option for the desktop mode to act more like how it used to, with uncropped thumbnails and maybe an option to choose how many images you want per row? I just hope someone who has the power and means to make change listens to people's distaste for this change and does something to quell our concerns.

To a limited degree you can unfuck it on the search page using the gear icon under the search menu, it still looks... slightly off? I don't exactly have a screencap of yesterday to compare, and it doesn't fix the blacklist avatars escaping issue. This is going to wind up being something else to set every time I sign in... fucking hell, can it at least be mirrored to the themes page?

vladspellbinder said:
Guh, why do people keep insisting on replacing things instead of adding new features...

Yeah, that'd be crazy ... You're welcome, btw.

If you want a more constructive answer, it's because there's only one main developer, and a patchwork of occasional hobbyist contributors, so feature additions mainly come from dedicated community members taking it upon themselves (such as myself); our main developer has their hands full just keeping the site up to date and fixing bugs. The site's open source, so if you feel that strongly about it, you're more than welcome to pick up a shovel and pitch in; be the change you want to see in the world, and all that jazz.

Additionally, every new option would add a new column to the database, and that would quickly balloon out of control if every single change had a toggle on and off, not to mention the problems that would cause for having to maintain two different implementations simultaneously. Again, we only have one dedicated developer.

I empathize with the frustration, I've felt it myself, but maybe chill on the anger; the maintainers aren't stupid, the things that they're doing are for a reason, just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You're more than welcome to have reasonable discussion and debate about those reasons, and present your own reasons against it, but I'd recommend against constantly shitting on the people developing the site, who are mostly doing this pro bono; constantly being the subject of whining might encourage some of them to just not work on the site at all... Just a thought.

For changes that might cause some irrevocable harm, they do; some partially temporary UI jank is not worth the hassle.

I'd really love to dispel this notion that there's some team of paid developers working on the site; there's a revolving door of hobbyist contributors and one dedicated developer who integrates their changes and maintains the site in general. Tailor your expectations & anger accordingly.

Yeah i really don't care for this change. I'm fine with the static spacing, but i'm really not a fan of how colored thumbnail borders look on "full", or the transparent letterboxing/pillarboxing (and of course the broken deleted/blacklisted thumbnails in comments/forums, though I'm guessing that's a bug). The whole page looks way too busy if you're not using cropped thumbnails, and you lose a lot of visual information with the thumbnails cropped.

This doesn't seem to do anything for me, on either mobile or desktop mode. Is this supposed to try and fix the cropped images? I copy and pasted it verbatim in the CSS customization section and saved.

Not necessarily
currently, we have 28 bitprefs (0-27)

the bit_prefs column is a bigint (max value: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)

effectively we have have 63 preferences total in the single column, so we are at less than half capacity (35 remaining slots)
many of the currently taken slots are also unused (0, 1, 14, 18, 21 - 5 unused) and could be repurposed by clearing out the values from current users, making for an actual total use of 23, leaving 40 remaining

Realistically it is not that difficult to add a few preferences here and there, one preference could span a few bitprefs if needs be to avoid adding new columns
I have actually done this myself when I integrated hoverzoom into my fork, it covers 4 bitprefs and never needed a new column
despite all of the additions I've made in my own fork I still have 31 available bitprefs

Considering they're also whining for devs to change it back, perhaps they'd best rethink that thought process.

Try these:

article.thumbnail a {
  background: unset;
  height: fit-content;
  width: fit-content;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-top: auto;
}

article.thumbnail > a::before {
  top: auto;
  left: auto;
  margin-top: 0.5rem;
  margin-left: 0.5rem;
  border: 1px solid var(--color-text-muted);
  border-radius: 3px;
}

I used to think that until I started seeing software updates that changed the UI of software so that there would be something to point to as 'new' or 'innovative' or 'enhanced' without adding new functionality. The latest example is with my Samsung tablet, which recently got an Android update... that changed the boot screen. Previously, it would start up and go to the lock screen, which I had configured to display the time as:

14:23

Now, the lock screen still displays the time like that, but when the tablet boots, it boots to a lock screen displaying the time as:

14
23

It's still perfectly readable — but it's not how I want my tablet to boot up, there's no explanation for the change, and no setting to change it back. It's a niggly little detail, but it's a change that does nothing to enhance the tablet's functionality, is not documented anywhere, and appears to have been done purely as a cosmetic change that every user has to accept. It smacks strongly of the Korean societal 'deference to superiors' as a corporate "we decided to change this, and you are expected to simply accept it; your opinion is irrelevant".

On the actual situation you're comparing to I know my phone did that during an update and you can change it, but it's really obscure
I had to tap and hold on the lockscreen while it's locked, then I got prompted to unlock it, then it would take me to an edit screen
I have no idea if there's another way to get there

It's not much better, it is still configurable but it changed the options I had already configured and how to change it is obscure and not in the settings where it belongs

This seemed to work for me on desktop, but alas, using the desktop mode on mobile still has things be slightly cropped, and there's nothing I can seemingly do about the two posts per row.

It only does something when Image Crop is set to Full in Search Settings. I didn’t write the CSS with mobile in mind, and there’s no way to directly change search settings in mobile mode, but I just tried it on my phone and you can turn mobile mode off, change search settings, turn mobile mode back on, and the search settings should stay applied and the CSS should fix the weird background and borders. The idea is that the CSS doesn’t change anything if Image Crop is set to Crop, and with Image Crop set to Full, the CSS is supposed to make the layout as close to the way it used to be as I could manage (for reference, here’s a screenshot of a page I happened to have open before the change went through, here’s a screenshot of what the same search looks like to me now on the new layout but with the custom CSS, and here’s a screenshot of the same search with the new layout with no changes (all screenshots were taken with Image Crop set to Full and Card Size set to Small in Search Settings))

i haven't checked the site in a while, mostly since i barely have anything to post here anymore,
but why did they change the icons to be large, blurry, cropped versions instead of the not-cropped easy-to-see versions that were before?

Dang. That's what I'm here looking to get fixed. Get it from 2 back to 4. Guess I'll just have to wait.

Did they even test the update before pushing it? who in their right mind would approve this

My biggest issue is with the blurry thumbnails. It makes it impossible to make out some pictures from the thumbnail especially when the picture is entirely line art. I'm also not a fan of images being cropped as you can miss out on important details that normally might get you to view the image rather then pass it by. Talking character or things that give what the character is doing context. Tags are a great way to find what you are looking for but sometimes artists and posters forget to add all the tags so there is a chance things you are looking for can be lost in the crop.

Is it just me or has the site been a lot slower since the update?

not just you, also an issue for me

I, for one, like the larger thumbnails. The small thumbnails are still an option for those who like them. I agree that the large thumbnails probably need to be rebaked so they're not just the old 150px thumbnails scaled up, and its kinda dumb-looking how non-cropped thumbnails still have a square border around them... but I hope big thumbnails stick around for those of us with big monitors.
