Honestly can't speak for the power users here, but as a casual that mainly lurks through mobile, I'm for one having an easier time navigating the new UI.
Only "complaint" on my end is having to give one extra tap/click to access my favorites, but maybe someone more tech literate than I can list out any real bugs or issues that can be ironed out when it's stable

Thank you for this! I appreciate having an indicator for responses to your forums threads but ALWAYS having a notification about responses or threads somewhere in the forum not related to you is annoying.

I mean, I feel like there's several reasonable reasons people wouldn't want to join a Discord server for a NSFW website. especially on mobile, where it's kind of difficult/impossible to log in to Discord from two accounts at once so you'd need to do it on your main.
Seconding this. Wouldn't this have been a big enough change to justify setting an announcement a few days before rolling the update out? I can't imagine too many people are on the discord (or check the forums when not discussing a recent update, for that matter)

Change doesn't need to happen if people don't like it.
True, it doesn't need to happen. Also, if people don't like a change, it doesn't mean it shouldn't have happened. People shouldn't be gratuitously disturbed, but nor does their dislike indicate any definite problem exists outside of them.
People often hate or like changes for reasons that are extremely superficial IMO. And superficial opinions tend to be easier to propagate than well thought out ones, so the sense of 'whether it is liked or hated' is liable to be informed mainly by what is most visible: superficial opinions within your particular social bubble.
https://xkcd.com/1172/ is a pretty fair take on the general dynamic.

So thanks e621 team, a new interesting change from e621.
I'm definitely not a fan. I mean to be fair I'm autistic so I don't really like changes in the first place but I really really don't like this. It just feels unnecessary and weird. Everything worked perfectly fine before, why add all these new buttons? Feels like it overcomplicated something that didn't need to be complicated.

I mean, that's how its worked for like... forever(?), I think. had everyone really just never notice that was a thing until the style was changed slightly?

Yes, thank you for putting this better than I can—*this* is what I mean when I say I think it’s a bad sign. Rebrands and redesigns are often in the interest of the worst groups.

Hey boss, not everything is a self-report for disagreeing with something touchy—can’t say I’d play devils advocate for them myself, but you can be neutral/iffy and push for people to be allowed to do things (identify with, at least)… I guess this is just a version of that

New UI and yet I still can't preview tags by hovering over the thumbnails most of time. Only on user avatars will it give me any info when I hover my cursor over the picture. Anyone else having this issue as well? Was hoping the new update would've fixed this.

So because people like to create threads instead of even glancing for existing similar topics, I found the solution in THIS thread. To simplify, go to Account, Settings, and then Advanced. At the bottom of the Advanced Settings page is a section called Custom CSS style. Copy/paste the following code in the text box and click Submit afterwards.article img { pointer-events: unset; }The original solution was put in the sticky of the Bug Report section of the forum. Pretty dumb to hide it there, but I'm grateful that there is, in fact, a fix for this.
Im not really a fan of the new main menu. As its job is to welcome new users in with something quickly understandable and navigable, while letting older users get to where they want with minimal holdups it kinda fails at both.
From the perspective of a new user it seems all over the place, while yes there's two big buttons to go to what many people want there's so much else all over the screen it slows you down if you don't know what the 1000 tabs everywhere are. The old one was better as it had fewer tabs to distract people, and allowed older people to navigate to the forum or there account, or log in right there. Now you have to go to the top left to search for what you want then realize oh I wanted to go to my favorites, so you search till you find your account on the other side of the screen then can finally do what you want.
Also it is a complete tone shift from the rest of the site. Everything on it from the curved transparent boxes(without drop shadow so it kind looks like a blurry mess with no real border) all the sizes just dont seem constant with the rest of the site, also the color #1f3c67 only ever appears to distinguish a box within a box not a weird thing sticking out along the box, and the vibes just arnt the same (I know great reason).
The header makes no sense as well why is everything on the left except the account?????? also the icon for appearance makes no sense and why does it need a button on screen at all times, I don't think anyone is going to be like oh today I feel like a hotdog theme will go well with my afternoon goon sesh. Also when you click on it the blue menu highlight box thing doesn't go with it making it seem like an afterthought. The discord and subscribe star buttons arnt really nice either. I get it you need to make money but that's stuff you click once in you life.... it doesn't have to be on the screen all the time.
Lastly it just feels sad and corporate and doesn't have any good reason I can think of for existing other than to "modernize" it.
It seems alright on mobile though
So please don't keep going in this direction, and I would love to know why some of those decision were made and why anything was changed in the first place.
I really don't mind it too much. Sure, it will take some time to get used to, but it's not the end of the world or anything.

Change the theme to bloodlust and hit the colourblind filter, it'll change the dot to orange and it'll be less intrusive for the time being. saves you from fiddling with the CSS/disabling it entirely, I guess.

I mean, if I'm being completely honest, the landing page is kind of a relic in general.
but, if I remember correctly, for a while after NG we didn't have one and we just dropped users straight into /posts, but there were user complaints and it was eventually brought back. I mean, I like the mascots, but-- ehh...

also, I think that var(--color-link-active) looks a little better for the forum notif dot than var(--palette-text-red)
Only thing I am annoyed about right now is that I can no longer find "search for myself in comments" anymore. Was an easy way to see if anyone had replied in a comment I left (ie. Artists who are active on e6). I'll get used to the rest with time, but man I really liked having that.
While I welcome some of the changes I have suggested for mobile browsing being made (e.g., enlarging the "Search forum" textbox, making posts more navigable by shifting the tags to the side instead of being beneath the image), I can't help but notice the navbar being broken now and appearing to clip into each other or run off the screen (e.g., the "Discord" link is partially eaten up by the "Themes" icon, the "Mark all as read" link only shows up partially as "Mark all as", the "More" link is completely off the screen and requires scrolling right to find it).

your mentions in comments and on the forum are still linked on your user page even if the user homepage isn't easily accessible.

Just saw it, it's pretty cool. Feels nice.
I definitely didn’t expect this relic of a website to get a “modernized” look to it, and not having a fast button to /users/home is a bit disappointing, but I’m sure it’ll smoothen out in due time and the more clunky bits will be fixed.

(also i'm not sure the update affected these?)If you're talking about the help page as well, there in the nav bar (so is more) at the very bottom (that'll be rectified soon)
Where is the "more" section?
I can't see it anywhere.
Edit:
I have had to 'zoom out' in my browser settings on both mobile and desktop devices to get the 'more' section to be visible.
The 'more' section should be located further left, beside the 'help' section.
If the new design is going to have a crowded top-menu it should prioritise 'more' to the left as it has extremely useful features located within it.
The 'subscribestar' section could be literally anywhere else other than the main top-menu.

Wow, i was surprised to see a new interface, and it looks uncommon, but still looks cool, i need a time to get used to it
I miss the easy access to the user home page and having its replacement be on the far side of the screen's a bit weird, but otherwise I'm good.
mta_2_train said:

UI options are a God-send for weird autistic people like me. I hate random UI changes, they just annoy me and take getting used to - Then after I've adjusted to and gotten used to the new UI, it gets changed again. Shits me to tears.
Mobile version has become much better, desktop version has become worse. As many have already said, home page used to be clean and iconic, now it's more on a generic side.
What concerns me more though is that such redesigns often come with a change of direction. Which is to say, hopefully we won't see, say, Nintendo-related stuff disappearing, part of content getting paywalled and so on.
caught me off guard

I can no longer find the tab that shows me where someone replied to me or mentioned me on a submission.
I wouldn't mind that but originally I could click on "profile" at the top of the screen and ould see that as an easily access tab, now it goes straight into my uder profile and now I can't find anything that indicates anyone has said anything to me.

cinder said:
No, there will not be an option to revert back to the old version.
so... why not?
this seems like a pretty polarizing change, and adding an option to revert to the old layout would make 99% of people happy
I only use the desktop ver. mainly and... While it's not awful, I think it's worse. I don't much care for a notification that there's new forum posts, but it makes harder for me to find someone that replied to me in the first place. Feels kinda backwards. Also not a fan of the account/login button on the top-right, although I suppose that's kinda the norm nowadays... Idk, I'm firmly of the camp "don't fix what isn't broken".

dba_afish said:
it's literally true.
An archive doesn't go around purging and banning huge chunks of content out of nowhere because advertisers pressured them into it.
And a good archive doesn't exclude certain people from being archived, either.
This site is basically social media but with furry porn instead of selfies. I download everything posted here that I like because I can't trust it to be here in the future.
Anyway, as for the topic of the thread. I don't really care for the new UI. I don't hate it but I prefer the Old-Internet style of website. At least it's not Sankaku levels of web 2.0 enshittification.
It's annoying that some links are on the right and sometimes iconified for no reason. Literally no-one benefits from having a dot on the Forum button because of its velocity.
I think there should be an option for old/new theme as well.
unhelpfulconsensus said:

Exactly, this single option prevents any and all complaints. Because then its easier for everyone to both adjust and if they want to, stay on the old format and have the iconic home page back. This solves all problems and helps Autistic people adjust in their own time.
To other people asking, you can still find mentions its just much less obvious now, its in your account to the right of your posts in "mentions".
So we need to login to a NSFW discord just to see incoming site changes?
cinder said:
You keep saying that, and it's still not true.
All changes get deployed to e926 a week ahead of time, with changelogs posted to discord, a discussion thread there, and a ping to users who opted into receiving notifications about site updates.
Just because you refuse to participate in it does not mean that you get to proclaim that you've been blindsighted.
To be clear, not all of what I said there applies to e6's changes. Some does, and I'll touch on that, but I was responding to the general statements that "people don't like change, but not all change is bad", "people eventually stop complaining over changes, they grow to like it", "sometimes things need fixing, change always happens", and that voicing displeasure with changes is being entitled toward developers. I gave my counterpoints from a relevant perspective.
I didn't know e926 had the changes ahead of time. Though I wouldn't have a reason to look at e926 if I don't first know a change is coming. Fair enough that it was known on Discord, though considering these complaints of not having a heads-up keep happening, it should be expected that a fair number of people aren't looking at Discord to keep up with such alerts. It's hardly just me, and this isn't the first time it's come up. Discord isn't a reliable way to communicate with this site's users.
cinder said:
You keep waxing philosophical about how changes are only good if the changes are good. Presumably, you believe yourself to be the arbiter of what changes are good.
Not sure what you're getting at, but the things I find good are things I find good. I don't claim to speak to what others find good.
cinder said:
I have already explained why the changes needed to be made – but you ignored that and asserted like five different times that I have not.
I have communicated, responded to feedback, and issued a patch today that corrected some of the issues – but you asserted that I have been quiet.
Aside from that tangent, your responses in this thread have been a confusion reaction image response to a user complaining about enshittification (honestly, a fair response to what you were responding to), then a response saying you didn't break what wasn't broken, the UI was reworked to make it functional on mobile, and there won't be an option to change it back. Then gave a line of custom CSS to disable the new forum post indicator and said you'd add an option in the next release. Then said it's the same number of clicks to get to the Hot/Popular page, and the missing search bar on mobile is fixed in the next version.
The only reason given for the change was a vague "UI was reworked to make it functional on mobile". It's not clear how that led to all this either being necessary or getting broken on accident. There's nothing about why changing the mobile UI had an effect on the desktop UI, or why certain links now point to different pages. There was no response about the changes that broke plugins or broke re621/tampermonkey scripts, about the Forum link italicization breaking (though the fix with the dot was silently made at some point), or that the navbar has noticeable alignment issues (which could very well be my or my browser's fault, but without a response I have no idea where the issue lies; other people have reported issues with the navbar which may or may not be related). Similarly with previous updates, the tags no longer being shown when hovering on thumbnails and the P/C/U/F status indicators disappearing from thumbnails, which happened at the same time that the thumbnail grid broke, there was no response when these issues were brought up in the bug reporting thread. No idea if some of these were accidental, or what issues we can expect fixes for or if we just have to make do. As it is, I only heard from another user that P/C/U/F being removed was intentional, and they said you might be persuaded to bring them back, but there was no post about this where I could make a case to bring them back (I gave my case in that thread, but no response from an admin/developer; it feels wrong to call you out publicly for a response, or privately message you out of the blue, to give a long-winded request to restore something I don't know if you actually care about hearing or not).
I'm not saying you should be responding immediately to every report, obviously you don't have to do anything you don't want to, and especially on recent changes it can take a bit of time to look into the reports, but it does feel like we've been getting ignored a lot when bringing up issues, and lately can't even be sure if the issues we raise were things done intentionally or not. We just see things change in a way that seems wrong, make a post in some thread that seems appropriate/the bug report thread, and hope for the best. Might get a response, might see it silently fixed, but mostly we're left in the dark not knowing anything.
cinder said:
Needless to say, I consider that kind of behavior to be quite rude.
I apologize if I'm being rude. That's not my intention, I'm just trying to explain how it seems here.
So, my coin in the hat;
This seems pointless from the desktop end and just seems... like change for the sake of change? Youtube flashbacks, really. I can get making a mobile-specific layout, but it really shouldn't be used as a basis for desktop stuff, or cause changes desktop-end.
What is the point of having a forum if you're going to disclose important/large-scale changes only via Discord? It seems trivial to just... use the extant newspost function to give updates for this sort of thing, and to point people to the SFW/Test site and to drop a stickied "user feedback" thread for those changes.
It's like rearranging everything in the kitchen
The only thing I can really "complain" about this, is the inability to access the account settings, including seeing the "welcome" banner in different languages. While minor, if it's there, I'll eventually figure it out, but if it isn't, it'd be nice to have access to that menu if possible.

Would make it a lot easier if the sign in button was closer to the middle when going to https://e621.net/.
The changes on mobile look nice, the drop down menu is definitely easier to use. Didn't need to change the desktop version though in my opinion.

Account settings are accessible by clicking the gear icon in the top right.
Alternatively clicking "Account" then in the subnav, "Settings"

Like when Reddit did it's redesign into a more modern UI, but they have to serve the old one to a dwindling user base
In defense of the users of old Reddit, the differences between the sites were more than stylistic. The new interface would try to force mobile users onto the buggy app through modals which (towards the end) couldn't be disabled and by prohibiting NSFW content from being viewed on the browser. On desktop, there are those of us who prefer full-width web pages, which the new interface was certainly not. These, and some other key functionality limitations, kept me on old Reddit until the blackout.
As a 10-year lurker here, the new e621 mobile interface is sweet.

watsit said:
Nor does it mean all change is good. As a developer myself, I know that people can get upset over change, but I'm very careful in the changes I make that can affect the user experience. I first make sure there's a clear benefit over the known and potential drawbacks before even thinking about changing something, and when I decide to make the change, I put out feelers to my users to see how they think about it before doing it (more than just figuring out if I should make the change, it helps me know how to make the change to be as smooth as possible too). And importantly, even after I do it, when people bring up the change, I explain why I made it and the benefits over what it used to be like. And I keep open the possibility that I may need to change it back if there's enough reasonable counterpoints or dissatisfaction (which has happened for me a few times). Communication is the main factor; I try to make my intent known before affected users get something changed on them, and even after the change is made, I'm open to discuss why I made it and consider any arguments about why it was better previously. I'm not perfect, no matter how much I try to be careful with my changes, there can be unexpected issues other people see that I didn't consider. Additionally, even more than the work for the change itself, I try much harder to ensure there's a practical, easy option to change it back when possible for users that really prefer the older way. And even if I can't provide an option people want, I'm open to help guide others in making the option.
Hey now, don't put words in my mouth for me. I never said all change is good. I definitely agree that it's a good idea to communicate before/during/after UI updates, and sure communication here hasn't been great. But the way I say it, some effort to listen to the community is better than none. And I guess that the biggest thing to keep in mind is that you can't please everyone with something like this, it's just not possible.
watsit said:
That's a bad way to look at it. Especially after months of complaints, people going silent doesn't mean they finally accept it as better or "not as bad as they thought", it just means they got tired of their complaints falling on deaf ears (or getting pushback from users that don't see the problem). Eventually complaining gets to a point where continually bringing it up the problem is more disruptive than helpful, more moderation gets enforced on the topic, so complaints will naturally go away with time. But that doesn't mean people who voiced their dissatisfaction are then on board with the changes.
I never said everyone liked it. And sure, it was buggy at first but it was being actively worked on. And, not to mention, they actually did listen to suggestions. They removed the new structure of the DMs screen pretty fast. I'm not trying to say that silence is good. I'm trying to say that sometimes the people who make the most noise tend to only be making said noise because something changed, whether it was good or not.
watsit said:
Trust me, I know that something can "work" but be absolutely horrid under the hood, and fixing the underlying problems it causes can impact the experience of my users. But that doesn't mean you have to blindside your users with significant changes and then ignore reasonable complaints. If fixing something breaks previously useful functionality, I try to work on restoring said functionality (e6ng went through a lengthy period of this). Communication is very helpful. Yes, things are constantly changing in tech. Sometimes it's good and sometimes its not. Change for the sake of change is rarely good, it's a sign of people looking to solve problems that don't exist and ignore problems that do. If a change is beneficial, it should be easy to explain, even if the less technical-minded people don't understand; people who can understand will (generally speaking, of course), and the more people that understand and accept the reasoning, the more others will be able to accept the changes as beneficial even if they don't understand. See again, e6ng; to people who don't understand web development, as far as they saw the site broke and it took a long time to get back features that existed for years. But it was communicated what the problems were and the benefits of the change, and work was done to restore what broke, so today even people that don't understand what the problems were do understand the change was overall beneficial, and we get to see the fruits of that work. But being silent and not explaining why seemingly arbitrary or bad changes are made, not explaining the benefits and not considering restoring useful functionality that was lost as a result of the change, makes it come across more as change made for the sake of change.
Honestly just fully agree here, not much to say.
This new interface feels incredible on mobile! Massive improvements! Excellent job guys
bruh, it's feel so dystopian seeing a booru giving you information from wikipedia (this screenshot is from e926)

Huh, that must be an upcoming feature... That's the tag wiki btw, it's user created. The user who wrote it just so happened to copy-paste a Wikipedia article.

1. Wait where's the massive gap between the search bar and wiki excerpt
2. It's not from wikipedia it's from e621's wiki. try help:home
3. You can only stop using e6 so many times in a row

Go to your profile page.
Want to see comments on your uploads? Go to the line "Posts" and click on (comments on).
Want to see replies to comments you made in the forum? Go to the line "Forum Posts" and click on mentions.
Want to see replies to comments you made under posts? Go to the line "Comments" and click on mentions.

That wiki article has been on this site since 2015. It's older than both of our accounts.
You can replace it if you've got something better, but in general wikis are useful for informing people how we prefer to use specific tags. Social media and Google AI summaries have nothing to do with it.
Revert the changes.

Oooh, this will be useful for disambiguation tags. If someone searches bolt, instead of seeing one result and going "darn, I guess there's only one post containing my favorite white shepherd dog", they'll instead see:
Ambiguous tag.
You might be looking for one of the following:bolt_(film)
...

...At least, that's presumably how it SHOULD work, but it's not giving a preview for that tag. Seems like a bug...

You keep saying that, and it's still not true.
All changes get deployed to e926 a week ahead of time, with changelogs posted to discord, a discussion thread there, and a ping to users who opted into receiving notifications about site updates.
Just because you refuse to participate in it does not mean that you get to proclaim that you've been blindsighted.
Not trying to start shit, but just pointing out that I had no idea this e926 site exists, or if I did I forgot about it. Saying that all of this happens as you say is like vogons saying it's fine to bulldoze the earth because the plans for it were only four light years away.
That said, no the changes aren't earth shattering, literally or otherwise, but a heads up on the place such changes are also going to happen on would be nice as well. I think it's kind of weird that we should be checking other (frankly) irrelevant locations when this place has its own forum anyway

Theoretically you might be able to replace it with a pseudo element actually.
I don't think you can attach any click actions to pseudo elements at all, actually.
I kinda wish twitter advanced search engine wasn’t shit so I could browse nsfw art of obscure media i kinda into it, like bunny maloney, it should work like tumblr search feature, people thought twitter was a good alternative for tumblr after the purge, but they shadowbans accounts with nsfw art on it.

The Account link no longer takes you to the welcome page with links to check various comments/blips/etc mentioning you or comments on your posts (the profile page does still have a link for comments on your posts, but I don't see a link for things that mention you, and I miss the Welcome messages in the various languages).
That's my greatest complaint as well.

People keep saying that, but it's just factually not true.
The UI was reworked to make it functional on mobile. And people have complained about it, yes.
No, there will not be an option to revert back to the old version.
I was already using mobile before and everything was fine.
