Danbooru 2 upgrade on Feb 16, 2013

See I don't use Greese Monkey or any other script. I really don't think we should have to install external scripts to make things usable.

Also the more Danbooru 2 looks more like the original things work actually better as guess what the old one wasn't broken and doesn't need to be fixed.

I think the pool bar is much better at the bottom than the top. There are at least several others who feel the same.

You'll probably get used to it soon. If you don't, you can always install the script.

Just a minor stuff, but did the old pool bar used to have that "pool:" thing like

<<prev Pool: Blahblahblah next>>

or was it like

<<prev Blahblahblah next>>

instead?

Because I prefer the latter if possible.

Moving pool bar to the bottom is just another failure from the point of new danbooru UI, and again it's not question of feeling - it's an objective fact.
When pool bar was at the top, you could easily browse pool by clicking next (or prev) - because these buttons were staying mostly at the same place (or at least very close when sometimes other bars appeared). In fact, the most desirable change would be to stay with pool bar at the top with absolute priority given to it (before child bar, resize bar etc) to make the prev/next buttons locally (in this pool) absolutely static.

Moving pool browser to the top left (as it was at the begining) was only slightly worse than top bar: it stayed in place (very good) but it's harder to return to click if you went away with pointer to browse translations (for example).

Putting pool bar at the bottom is the worst solution from these three. If you do browse pool using it, then with every post you need to focus on finding the next/prev buttons as you don't have slightest idea where these buttons can be this time. Disaster.

EDIT: I'm kind of wondering if we shouldn't break out the UI design discussion into its own thread.

Since no-one else was moving the discussion, I did. forum #9066

On topic: Has anyone mentioned yet that the left and right arrows key both send you back in a search/pool, and only space sends you forward at the moment?

I'm I the only one that has this problem?

The arrows have a fix already, it's just not yet implemented.

I'm confused - 3 bugs I logged are apparently fixed & closed, but I'm still seeing them?

The update isn't live yet.

Just tried arrow key navigation ... Every arrow action set the pool BACKWARDS an entry. Even when I hit forwards.

But more are pointing out its a stupid idea. I mean why are we 'fixing' things which are not broken again? And really the "Install a Script" isn't a solution. It's just covering up a mistake and pretending its not there.

I shouldn't have to install a script to easily navigate an image hosting website.

Will be fixed when the next update eventually goes live.

UI discussion in forum #85247.

And there are a number of people who don't think the pools at the bottom is a mistake. Opinion seems to be split.

Why no one cares about the mobile version? It's impossible to see notes in danbooru 2 and the pool bar is just a clump of links. I'm sure there are other mobile users who are experiencing the same problems.

I've just tried to upload from a pixiv manga source and got a long error massage. Upload didn't finish/succeed either. Is anyone else having troubles with such uploads?

I didn't have a problem just now.

/me fails

Ah, nevermind. I've just figured what I did wrong.

I can see notes same as before.

Using Dolphin 7.2 on iOS.

Something's up with deactivating blacklists on a specific page. Clicking used to turn a tag on or off, but now it seems to deselect the other tags, so I can't uncheck more than one tag.

And when is it going to happen? Well, approximately at least

I doubt anyone except albert knows that.

Getting failboorus while reading comments now.

Update is finally here.
