The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@Background Pony  
Something that I liked about DerpiB is that it went straight to the images. With the current homepage, not so much.
 
To be honest, having the current homepage turned into a “news” or “recent activity” page would probably be a good idea. Actually, that would let them take the space being used on images and fit more information in there. Heck, the current news button is down at the bottom, so that would actually make site news more visible.

Keep the forum topics. If there’s anything that’ll get people to stop posting those damn tv memes, maybe it’s reminding them that the forums exist.
 
Get rid of the “Top Scoring Images.” It’s basically just a shortcut to “here’s some porn that got posted recently,” which doesn’t look so great on the front page.

We’ve made some major tweaks and revisions to the homepage, which we think will resolve most problems people had with it.
 
If not - well, let’s hear ’em!

Hey, we have featured images now. So that’s gonna be mostly Trixie and/or Twilight, right?

>Derpibooru should be first and foremost be about the images.
 
Are you serious? It’s never been about that. At least not since the Migration from Ponibooru. It’s always been about our reactions to the image.

Looks a lot better. I’d put featured at the top, since it’s, y’know, featured, but that’s the only change that comes to mind.
 
Good work.

I do anticipate the image list being a homepage option. We should probably also make the sections expandable. Though good design would suggest otherwise, it may be worth making the Featured Image section the top–or better yet make everything widgets users can add/subtract and arrange. (This would take nontrivial JS but would be facilitated using something like jQuery UI.) Oh, and AJAX updates up the wazoo.
 
Although Clover assures me there are issues that must be prioritized first, my focus at least this weekend will probably still be on improving and thoroughly testing the search controller.

Probably? ;-)
 
AJAX updates, major UI reworking - all of these things would be nice - but let’s face it, we’ve got waaay bigger problems to sort out before we start attacking the nice-to-haves.

Or if you’re not logged in, e.g. a new viewer, you’re still going to get big ol’ QUESTIONABLE pictures, plus the unfiltered “suggestive” pics.

I just think it looks ugly and don’t really care about activity on the site other than new image uploads. If I wanted to see forum activity, I’d go to the Forum tab. If I wanted to see the newest comments, I’d go to the Comments tab. If I wanted to see the streams, I’d go to that tab. The featured image thing, I don’t mind that one, though I’d rather it be at the top left corner like Ponibooru because I’m old and set in my ways. And for my watched images, again I can just go to that tab when I want to see them. This new setup is redundant and visually busy, and it just looks ugly to me.

Uhhh…. A thought about comments…
 
While I don’t have anything filtered or hidden, do the comments displayed in the recent comments box have any kind of filtering applied? Because seeing a perfectly reasonable comment to a filtered image could be pretty unpleasant to some people. That’s why they had it filtered, after all.
