- it uses up too much space. Instead of "simple and modern", it just looks bulky to me. (look at Gumpyyy's picture). This is the only real complaint I have, actually. Next one is minor.
- Using different colors for different sections in the index makes things more confusing instead of being a step towards simplicity and user-friendliness. Unity is an important factor concerning that, and this includes the color scheme. (very minor)

- I'm not a fan of infinite scrolling, but as opposed to the other points I brought up, this might just be because I'm not used to it yet. We are creatures of habit after all, and it's easy for us to blindly oppose new things for the sake of maintaining the status quo. I think in terms of practicability, infinite scrolling might even outperform the current system with pages, so I am open for change in this area (even though I don't like it as of yet).

Simplicity i guess

Personally, I like the clean look

Here is something for everyone who hates the bright style of the new page. A (almost) complete gray skin :D (I guess many people will hate me for using multiple fonts)

having that big achieves nothing besides making it more clunky.

It's alright but, imo I am actually a fan of the old form design.

It's simple and easy to look at.

personally, I am not satisfied by the look of the new website, at least yet. the only thing I really liked is the achievement % :\

Concerning the missing features, it's not done, they just give the players the possibility to take a look at their work before it's done.

For the word "Jizz" in the address (Dudes, when I type it in google, the first link is a p**n website -_-), they're not giving an example of maturity...

Oh, and I think they shouldn't have removed this

This exact box you can't see and that doesn't get converted in the new forum.

It's "just" a sub-domain. the actual domain is just ppy.sh.

Pagination as you know it is gone forever. It makes no sense.

Tell that to a person looking for specific information/a particular post in a massive thread that just so happens to be directly in the center of the thread. With someone who has tens of thousands of forum posts, I find it hard to believe you've never appreciated the concept of going back in chunks rather than having to load everything irrelevant in between.

But... whatever. It is your design and you can do with it what you choose. I very highly doubt that I am alone, in any case.

EDIT: and if you're very deliberately ignoring corner-cases in your development, that's hardly a good precedent.

I tend to focus more on text. A design that can handle large blocks of text and would not have its designs distract me while I read them would be appreciated. The designs look cool and very !next, but the devs might consider giving an option to make things more compact?

The following comparison is not made against the old forum.

Pro:
+ design style
+ design style
+ design style
+ design style

Con:
- pagination (this is a religion)
- width (as other people have pointed out)
- permanent link to each thread (we don't have that right now)
- one-line-per-thread list of each topic (like an abstract in an article, scan tens of posts at a glance)
- option: fixed-width font when editing post (I'm a programmer)

Now, I'm patiently waiting for new functionality to come in.

Hmmm...one thing I noticed is that the new one failed to show the < and > character in the profile page.

Taking about the forum design I guess everything takes time to get used with, but the fonts could be smaller like the old one imo

how is remembering a page number different from remembering a post number? you can already jump to a specific post.

It's okay but I favour the current looks, as they are cleaner and better structured (for now). The design itself is not my preference.

Another thing that I've recently notice is that sometimes it will double post by itself.

I think we need a small tutorial on how to use the new forum.
Infinite scrolling seems to be an unknown/unintuitive concept for most people. Can't say that I would miss pages that much either though @Halogen and I've spent a big amount of my time online in forums for the past years. I think it works just as well and it doesn't even compare to shittyness of redditstyle they used for the LoL-forums
Check dis out:

As for the small arrows on the post number it would probably be the easiest if you removed the one pointing to the threadstart and make the one pointing to the end bigger. No clue how you can make this goodlooking while keeping the circle-shape but for usability this would be very good I think.
As for the top-bar, I think it would be best if it grew larger on hovering over it so you have an easier time clicking on the navigation links.

And smileys seem to be a bit too small/misplaced compared to the text as their lower edge is way below the baseline of text but don't get to the topline of it either. :o

I feel like half the people here are only complaining just to complain. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the design, imo. The only valid issues I've seen so far is with the large amount of white space and how narrow the forums are.

With the former, white space is just plain ugly and that can unanimously be agreed upon. However, proper spacing is still important (which the old design lacks and causes everything to be too bunched up).
With the latter, that's mostly just a matter of opinion. There's nothing wrong with a narrow design in principle, but the thing that bothers me most with it is when posts in a thread get even more narrow after the OP. That doesn't really make much of any sense to me as a design aspect, as there are much better ways of distinguishing an OP.

As far as pagination goes, there's nothing wrong with it. If people know what page to look for, then they should also know the approximate post number to look for. Post # = Page # x Posts-per-Page.
However, I will say that having the current post number be clickable doesn't make much sense. In fact, it might be better to make it so you can use that "current post" number space to type in the number for the search, instead of having to click the search icon to type it in. One less icon to worry about then, and better convenience.

Aside from those things, I find the design itself to be beautiful overall, and I'm sure it will only continue to improve. Functionality will be added later and it's not even worth commenting on yet until it's actually implemented.
And I still don't get why people are complaining over the test domain name. Who even gives a jizz about a temporary name.

You kind of have a problem if you think you need a tutorial though. The design should be as intuitive as possible, meaning anyone should be able to figure it out.

It's not so much that autoscrolling is a foreign concept moreso than it just being something I don't enjoy using all the time. In some cases, I find it useful, while in other cases it's just really annoying to not have pages. Autoscrolling has been around for a while now on the internet, so I'm sure most people that don't like it have had enough time to "get used to it", and still don't enjoy using it.

@Top Bunk: Most people will "complain" or give critisism, since that's what's generally helpful and a reason to post in the first place. Saying "Omg this looks great!!!" doesn't really help getting things better. In general, if people don't mention something, you can assume they thought that was fine, and works well as it is.

Actually I never encountered infinitescrolling on a site I'm actually using before so I'm not used to it and since I consider myself to be an experienced internet user I just assumed that a lot of people would feel the same.
The first time I tried to get out of a long thread I scrolled to the top and tried to be faster in clicking the header than the page would load the next posts I scrolled to so you can see where I am coming from.
It took me 2min to figure everything out so you may or may not say that it is intuitive but the stuff I pointed out certainly hinders intuitive use.
Pages are more intuitive in the way that everyone knows how to read a book and has an immediate guess when being in a thread for the first time and seeing pages. Infinite scrolling isn't a thing you know from RL though, mainly from smartphones(and im not a smartphone user) so it is naturally harder to operate when encountering it for the first time - which is why a tutorial might not be a bad thing.
Once you got it, it is very intuitive as everything makes sense in itself but you will inevitably get undesired results if you try to use it like a conventional forum.

Why is pewdiepie not on jizz?

The problem here is that it's mostly complaining with lack of proper constructive criticism. I'm not saying all the posts are like that, but a majority of them are (even the longer posts which pretend like they go into detail when it's really just pointing more directly at what they're complaining about). At the very least people should say why they dislike something and what can be done to further fix/improve it. Especially considering the new site design will be implemented regardless of the people who dislike it. So instead of those complaining without a basis, they should at least attempt to make reasonable suggestions.

Also, let's not forget important things here. 1) Peppy gets the final say in the direction everything goes in. 2) You can't please everybody, so people will be forced to settle on compromises and deal with things they're not satisfied with either way.

Actually we know full well that this thread is a farce that doesn't matter because Peppy will do what he wants to regardless of what anyone and everyone thinks because fuck you that's why.

It looks pretty nice. I can't exactly put it up for comparison right now (502 MB RAM on a school PC, wha), but whoever did the design has done a great job.

Just as an update, we are now loading image dimensions before images are displayed. This means that scrolling upwards in a thread should feel much more natural, and overall performance should also have improved.

You'll also notice that this means we could remove the "expanding post" logic, improving the experience further.

Mentioning something I posted in the wrong forum a day ago...

The design is great, plus I love the color scheme of it. (And it being bigger to view ofc, especially on phones)

Only two things I don't really like is the pagination removed and the wasted space, as mentioned by other people.
For beatmappers in particular, clicking to a particular page helps to see mod posts more conveniently imo (also I doubt people can really remember that much post numbers lol... Especially for those who frequent the forum such as the requests section)

Others are really good imo. Dunno if it is feasible, maybe an option could be included in user settings to allow switching between infinite scrolling and pagination.

Just my 2 cents after being a lurker of other forum software, as 90% tend to use pagination anyway

It's way different. In a good way though. I love the design.
It will take some getting used to of course, being so different and all, but other than that I think it's great!

There is a chance that final version can be good, but now I'm really sad.

Only thing I really want is an option to choose between new/old forum style, since I'm satisfied with old one most of all. This new one is too... modern for me personally. I like old paging and old spoilerboxes way more, because it was easier to press them as a pagewide link/hovering, not like it is now.

Hope for keeping both styles to make everyone happy.

Given how this current design and the new design are using different software (iirc), I highly doubt there will be an option to choose one or the other.

Change is often a necessity, so for those that can't adjust to it, then oh well. Deal with it.

Since there's a thread. One thing that's been kinda bothering me both on the old forums and the new ones, is that you don't really scale it with the browser window:
SPOILER

Is there any particular reason you don't prefer more automatic scaling? It looks kinda silly to me with that long pink bar at the top, but then only half the space is actually being used.

Also, I'm also one of those people that prefer to have pagination. Having autoscrolling is fine, but I'd like there to be both tbh, since there are cases where one or the other is more intuitive or preferable.



I thought the circle/wheel was something you could click on to scroll through posts quickly, but instead clicking on the upper or lower half of it (probably the arrows) just takes me to the top or bottom, which I didn't find that intuitive. And what's the purpose of clicking on the page number? For now it seems like it just goes down a few posts or something, but I think clicking into a textfield where you can put in a page number would be more intuitive than having the page jump thing inside the search button.

SPOILER

And the quote thing is nice, but I think you need a dismiss/discard button, and make it a bit clearer that the button is for quoting.

Well, you're probably aware of some of this already, so eh.

Well, I'm quite satisfied with the design (I usually make simple typography design for my desktop wallpaper)
oh, and I really like the triangle(s) btw, it give me an energetic feeling
just one flaw, it has so many empty space in here, ex: like the header design at forum front page
suggestion:
maybe you can add another menubar on both sides of the empty space ;)

but overall is good :D

I really like the design but 2 things which dissappoint me:

1) You need to scroll down to the very bottom to reply to a post? Makes it kinda weird when a post has 100 replies like this one.

2) You can't click on the timestamps when you get a mod (I hope this isn't intentional)

I have tried the new forum on my Android tablet. It works well on the default, stock browser, simply dubbed "Browser". However, I also have tried it in Chrome (on my Android tablet, too) and the reply box doesn't appear, only a button which says "Load more". Is anyone else experiencing the same issue as me?

You could also click the reply button on the post you are currently reading (to the right) and then delete the quoted post content if you don't need it.

It gives me a more of a chilly feeling with the bright colors on the top of the page but the sides are white (gray) and is disturbing when you read forum posts (as the topic post color is also white). I like the new layout but this is the only thing I've found annoying. It'd be nice if you could change the color of the side of the page from white (gray) to something slightly darker so the eyes can concentrate on the topic board instead.

I like it. It looks pretty nice, and I think it feels close enough to pagination that I most likely won't be bothered by the lack of them (since I can fairly quickly figure out where a certain post is in a long thread by dividing it up in chunks in my head, probably).

The whole bottom bar is a bit big, especially when you're not using it and just reading a thread. Maybe make it smaller, and show the whole thing by moving the mouse downward?

And I still think

is the part where you should type to jump to a specific post, and use the magnifying glass for actually searching for words within the thread, since a magnifying glass almost always means searching.

Maybe you can add a reply button onto the navigation bar as well, since you can't post in a thread without either going to the bottom or quoting someone.

Both of these features are already in the final design, and should go live this week.

Well, for me this is a little confusing xD I feel the old one is more simple...
And why new.ppy.sh not osu.ppy.sh :/ ? Like the topic starter said that jizz is the slang for sperm... I think it's not safe for underage children :3 and I feel a bit disgusted reading osu! website's address has "jizz" :'v

Edit: ouch it seems like someone has asked it already xD

Yes it does? Clicking a thread will take you to the last read.


So according to peppy, the option to go to last read post is already available, but I don´t seem to be able to find it. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I did what peppy said on his post, but it takes me directly to the first post, so what am I doing wrong here?

ey, while you're here: your current concept of page navigation is perfect; had I known this would have been the end result, I'd never have made any posts involving forum pagination because yeah, what you have here is great. Once the ability to type in a specific post number is added, I mean... it doesn't really get much better than that, haha.

I like the change to the pagination, but it was a little weird scrolling to the bottom with the ticker register the post number at the top of the page instead of saying I was at the end (like right now while typing the post, it says I'm at 121/122). Just a minor thing though.

Its seems to be better day by day. Actually I already liked it when it was firstly available. The font is kinda hard to read at first but can get used to it. You did a great job.

It's being improved a lot, even if I don't use it that much, I have seen a lot of improvements later on which are appreciated.

One more thing I wanna add is the fact that some flags are barely comparable, in a sense that they look too similar to each other, when it should not be like that. USA flag is similar to Malaysia's, and the same goes to some others. Also coloration could be better done, as some countries have literally THE SAME flag as other one, but with darker/brighter colors.

Also, this version looks a lot better on the cellphone, so that's something really really good, but it consumes a lot more of RAM for some reason. Maybe you can work on that, as well, I am having some freezes sometimes.

Good job overall!

Instead of ease in drop shadow for hover why don't you make it the animated triangles at the top of the page?

Dunno if it's known, but here's a quick heads up:

Clicking on the "view this blahblah new design" on the top of the page leads to (picture) when youre not on the last page (ex. go to page 7 and click the thing)

It also breaks if you move to another page and then head back to the last page. First page always seems to be fine though.
This is likely because the new forum design fetches pages differently from this one, but still tries to use it in redirecting the link. Like how the url will have start=105 or start=120 at the end of it (the number goes up by 15 per page), compared to the new design which goes by post number, using ?n=129 (or whatever post number you're looking at) to reach that post.

The only easy solution I can think of for that is if they remove what page/post it directs to and just redirect to the first page/post of the thread you're on. Since those will always be the same as each other with only a topic ID, not leading to any specific page or post number.

I think page navigation is way better now. The bubble used to get in the way of the post button on my tablet. As Kurokami said:

I actually love this change. It's something new and I enjoy this change. After coming into osu 2 years ago and getting into it back and forth I've seen countless changes and haven't been disappointed once! I douibt this will change that streak when it's fully finished and implemented.

things that still not implemented..
different color of posts of users that bubbles / qualify
noticeable status of someone is BN or not
badges (charts champoin , osumania champion , elite mapper , etc.)
note codes like 01:17:749 (1) - 01:20:572 (1) - still appear as unclickable text / code

well that's what i can found...

The new forum design looks even better now the body is wider and takes more screen space. I use it all the time, except when I have to check my PMs.

However, I found something which might be worth looking into. The "tiny" font size:

In the old forum, the tiny font size looked like this:



However, in the new forum it looks like this:



It's barely readable! The other font sizes look fine, but the tiny one looks decompensatedly small. Please look into that.

Just previewed my post in the new forum. After expanding any boxes, I've seen that there is an extra blank line inserted between each of the lines of code in the bbcode section for CODE /CODE.
  1. I hope the devs can remove this extra line.
  2. I hope the devs also decrease the font size within the code sections such that it does not exceed the normal font size.

Hi. I'm here to report a bug. Marking a forum as read in the old forum makes it entirely unread in the new one.

I don't know whether this might be already planned or not but it would be splendid if you could manually pull one of the languagespecific subforums out of the "Other Languages"-forum and place it on top of the language-forums to improve the accessibility.
Having to scroll to the very bottom and having to precisely aim for "Deutsch" is not very appealing and discourages me from using that subforum.
If pulled up I could also see the latest post in the subforum which would be great to check for new posts.

(and I still think the subforum-navigation when scrolling in a thread is too small)

Apparently, I can't find it either yet, so there is none I guess.

What I noticed just now is how you diferentiate the thread listing and the posts on threads: in every thread we have infinite scroll from first post till the last while in the various subforums (ie. FR, G&R and so on) there still is the normal pagination.
Is this intended to be like this? Becuase imo this is what makes it still weird to have the infinite scroll for someone (at least for me)

It seems to take longer to load pages such as the beatmap listing, compared to the one on the current website.

The only thing that I don't like now is the quality of beatmap background preview. It's not the best but I hope it will be fixed

It'll be smoother and more swift after the general move happens. It's still in works!

Is it just me or the audio preview is gone from mobile site?

Also, why we can't hide our favorite maps on profile like using a spoilerbox? It takes so long to scroll.
