delicious support forum - What do you dislike about the new design?

-ani625: I miss the old del.icio.us already!
Give it back damnit..

-killerjay_47: Too flashy. I liked del.icio.us because of its simplicity. I just don't like the new interface. Too javascripty for my liking. I'm also not a fan of the color scheme and everything being shaded in different colors. I really liked the old interface! It didn't try to glitz everything up; it worked and it wasn't distracting. y y y me too. too javascripty y. & old colors better yes. & simple better y. too distracting now y. I guess I'm too old fashioned. It'll probably grow on me in time..

-53os: first things first all of the new icons are sort of gross. y d n like the icons but prob most ppl do. delicious is the site I check most frequently, but i honestly don't think im gonna be able to handle this. to be honest, as soon as someone buys del.ishio.us and pipes the rss feeds into a classic skin, they are gonna get ALL of my traffic. ooh hope that happens. Its just.... there was no need to update it guys. i dont want to be some bitchy troll or anything, but honestly... you know it in your hearts. it just didnt need a design change! well in fairness it did ~eg took v long to load, many tags extendg sidebar way down page. at least give us option for classic view when logged in. that'd be great,wish poss, seems prob not. seriously I really love this site and im seriously sad now

-I'm all about a revamp though I gotta say, I preferred the old look. I would be happy with this design if you brought the pink back. It really made the popularity rating stand out a lot more. My eyes would zap to the dark pink links so quickly. Now it feels kind of dead, no pink, no life. I'm not even into pink regularly, it's an annoying color but it was so part of delicious and it worked perfectly. I just saw the lack of pink and immediately had to comment. yes the shaded pink among the blue text was nice. and the text taking up the screen, unframed. I'm sad it's not like that anymore.

-it'd be really nice to allow for some kind of custom CSS stuff or skinning. I really miss some of the standout "red/pink" styles on the old site for things like "link not shared" etc.
Also I am not sure why yet, but the new design doesn't seem as readable or scanable as the old one. Anyone else agree?

-I'll certainly give it more time, but for now the new design seems eminently less scannable, maybe even cluttered. One big issue is the location of the tags: your eyes have to constantly jump about. yes.!that does make big diff dsnt it! And I agree, the "shades of red" backdrop was a much better indicator of "link heat" than raw counts.

-It might sound dumb, but I reeeeaalllllyyyyyy don't like how my tags and the edit/delete are now reversed on each bookmark. Call me OCD, but I had a certain order for tagging particular things, and the right-alignment of the tags messes me up! me too.

-It's hard to read the light blue copy.
-agreed as it's not schemely bold as before, especially light blue links.
-Light Blue text on a white background. no web designer would ever make that decision.
-Legibility is poor.

-I'm not sure if its my monitor or just me but the colors of the text seem quite faded and cause me to have a hard time keeping track of information.

-Where are my unbundled tags? Don't tell me I have to make a bundle called 'Unbundled tags' just to get my unbundled tags. huh funny. that's what I did, right away. so (see below) this makes three ppl mentioning this. and makes me like others. Don't. Like. It. If I can't figure it out by the end of the day, I'll find a different site.

-We're all very used to reading the old Delicious bookmark layout, so any kind of new layout may not seem as readable at first. If you spend some time getting used to the new format, you may find it more readable. Items are lined up better now. yes that's the framing I dislike. boxing. white space. lines. whereas before it was the text itself. Part of why we got rid of the pink color was because it was impossible to read for colorblind people huh, and the new blue box varies in shade too.

delicious support forum - Sort search results by number of times tagged, and by date order:
I don't particularly understand 'relevance' as a concept, as its not defined its hard to grasp how you measure 'relevance'. wonder wh this is in ref to? is there a relevance quantifying feature swh?
So could have the option to sort our search results by absolute number of times tagged, and by date first tagged. y I wld like to be able to 'jump to' a date. just in viewing pgmrks, but sure also in viewing search results.*
at lst can do this by way of page # in url & more quickly using date-tagging eg view all 0807 then move back by page #.
am surprised ppl requested alphabetical sort more than (?) date parameters for view.
*also now there is difference in mode btw viewing pgmrks (from recent down or by tag) & viewing search result pgmrks. cannot edit the latter. wld like to see that altered. whoa. also when viewing a bundle, can't edit. no no good.
...ah, reassuring:
delicious support forum - edit bookmarks in a search result list
-After searching in my own bookmarks it is not possible to edit or delete a bookmark directly in the search result list.
--I hope to see the edit feature (from search results) returned, too. Missing it a lot right now.
-britta: Yes, we plan to include that later. It's unfortunately tricky to implement, but we'll work on it.
-OK, good to hear. just wh I was going to say. As it is possible to edit when chosing one of my tags it mostly can be done this way. y that's wh I wld have said.
..see am not so diff, not so unlike others..
like finding evidence similar mind workings, what want: unbundled tags like before, simple & easy to scan. easy to edit.

I do hope can move the tags back to the lower left (and edit/delete can go back to the right) ---- that should help. able to see tags & notes in one eye direction.

delicious support forum - tag bundles, top ten, and all tags:
I wld like to be able to choose which tag menu item is on top. Personally, I like the top 10, THEN the bundles, then all tags. Others may prefer all tags on top. eh. I want no top 10, no all tags, just the bundles. and when viewing by tag, wld like related tags not to take up all top sidebar. but I accept that conceptually that is appropr. ...ah but should be collapsible.
from main What do you dislike? thread: -Why did you make it so we can't collapse the Related Tags section of the sidebar? Maybe you didn't realize this when you decided to implement that particular change, but Related Tags can be a REALLY LONG list. I don't think it was collapsible in old design, so maybe that's how it came about that it is not collapsible here. but, before it has its own column, inside from the main tags column, rather than in same column above the others.
-Maybe a "Sidebar Order" section on the Settings page? It could also allow users to decide whether they even want to SEE each of the sidebar sections.
yes. this seems sth may probably add.
-britta:We'll think about this - thank you all for the suggestions. Also keep in mind that you can collapse individual sections by clicking the little grey arrow on the left of the section title.
-Britta: Thanks for the reply. I understand that we can collapse the tags but that just doesn't really help. I think it is the librarian in my I want the hierachy of having and expanded bundles section above the expanded all.
-TOTALLY agree. I want the following order: Bundles then ALL tags and then Top 10 (which I don't even want but can stay at the bottom I am happy). y that's wh I'd like.
ALSO: uncategorised as an option. I really just want to see the nav how it was y me too: Expanded bundles as I choose, and then all uncategorised tags in an expanded list. first thing I did in trying to adapt to new view was to create a bundle called 'unbundled' to duplicate this. currently can view bundles, then view all = unbundled amid bundled tags alphabetically. but have to go to tags-settings-bundles & check highlight box to see the unbundled tags distinguished from rest.
int, already being requested by beta users:
-Michael.Massing: Speaking frankly, I'm guessing there must be some business-driven reason Delicious is so fixed on the inevitability and primacy of the top 10 list. oh. of course th makes sense. If there was any feature that was more widely and vociferously excoriated during the beta testing, I can't recall it. int. As before, I would prefer that all the now-collapsible categories be made both orderable and optional. yes. Oh, and did I mention bringing back (ahem!) "non-bundled" as one of the categories? int th (at lst 2) other ppl besides me want this.
-You're kidding right? This stupid retarded "top 10 tags" can't be eliminated like the cockroach unwanted guest that it is? huh there's the vociferous excorciation.
-Michael.Massing: As mentioned elsewhere, there's a workaround if you really want to suppress the Top 10, by specifying a bundle name, e.g.: http://delicious.com/Michael.Massing/bundle:Michael%20Massing
oh I see. when viewing a bundle, the sidebar d n show top ten. it shows that bundle (under wh its tags) then All Tags then Tag Bundles so I can use this, where "view" bundle contains date tags of current & stimes prvs month eg at present = z0807 z0808
http://delicious.com/mcassimatis/bundle:view
then update the date tags in 'view' bundle as wanted.
so can view recent tags in order without words "top ten" appearing on the side. I notice too, that that always loads uncollapsed. so does seem likely it's a marketing thing.
-Yeah, again, +1 to being able to choose where things go in the sidebar. I had been doing before, sort of, by using punctuation in my bundle titles to control the order in which they appeared. But now that I apparently have to have my Top Ten tags and also All Tags, I have a lot less control. And I really don't care about my Top Ten tags, so I'll be killing that posthaste. There very likely is a business reason it's still around, which I totally get, but if you're going to force us to have things in the sidebar, at least give us some control over where they show up.
