Topic: The new site looks and feels weird to use.

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

The new site features are very strange compared to the old site. I don't really like how we cant see what the top scored posts are for the day anymore. Personally, that was one of the best features of this site and is why i prefer it over FurAffinity or other sites similar to them. You can still see the "Hot" posts, but to me it seems a little buggy. Another change I found strange is that you cant change the theme of the website anymore. I used to use the red and black theme with the stars on the top and now the site just seems too strange now.

Here's some things that I also dislike about the new format of the site:
*The cropping of the blue bar under the thumbnails aren't as long as the thumbnails, as they were before on the old format.
*The thumbnails of videos and gifs don't tell you which is which.
*There is no home screen with all the mascots made by different artists.
*There are no longer rounded edges on the thumbnails on posts.
*You can't search for specific tags in your favorites list anymore

Now here's some things that I do actually like about the new changes:
*The Favorite button is now underneath the posts instead of underneath all the tags
*The spacing of the upvotes, downvotes, reply, and report buttons on other users comments is further apart.
*The location of the pool post changer thingy is now above the post instead of on the top left. (still debating if i like the one on the top left or on the top more)
*the overall quality of viewing the posts seems to be a lot nicer. It could be that it is taking up more monitor room.
*The new size mode of the posts

Here's some things that I think the site could use a little improvement on:
*Changing the "Hot" posts back to the original "Popular" posts. It looks a lot nicer and seems less buggy. I still cant tell if the "hot" posts are for daily posts and how they're organized. Idk if they're organised by score or by how many favorites it has, but it seems random.
*Make the edges of thumbnails rounded and put the make the blue bar underneath it fit with the thumbnail instead of having it span across the normal length. To me at least it looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
*Let the thumbnails show if the video posts are a Webm or a Gif. This will help a lot when searching for specific videos.
*Put back the search bar in the Favorites menu. It helps a lot with searching for specific posts that has a certain type of tag in it.
*Allow changes to the theme and even attempt to let us upload custom themes. Kind of like how Google allows you to have a custom background on the search bar.
