Honestly, the cleaner layout makes it look childish, many of my time saving shortcuts are gone, and there is no presteige anymore, suddely a noob can look as experienced as well, me who has been here for several years. Also i dont have the money to buy the materials for scanning anymore, im married and have a daugher... this is really disapointing.

It's confusing and I'm having trouble finding the newly posted wallpapers Genred(is that even a word?) categories is sort of annoying, as well. I think just by series is good enough.

i like the old MT

Err, don't take this the wrong way, but I gotta agree with everyone else here. I think I liked the old setup a lot better. Also, where's my friends list?

Same here the old one was a lot easier to go through. And press Control Panal on the left side and it should be on that page ^_^

I love it!

i'm confused, but i'm sure with time i'll get used to it...

Several years? You have only been here for over a year by a few weeks. But... I don't understand what point you are trying to make. You're worried about how a new person can browse a site, and it will make you look bad? Eh? It makes no sense... please explain yourself.

I cant read my notifications.. lol theyre still tweaking it so just be patient all ^^

Personally I'm not minding the credit system, I seem to be doing fine anyway lol. Oh, and an easy way to access you're favourite, regularly visited gallery groups, is to add it to your list in My Anime. Then you can go to your userpage and click on your "Watchlist" and it'll take you to a page with all the categories for the anime that you added.

I think it ok k except eor the contalpanel.

Personally I think this system is horrible..they have taken the out the fun and made it so people have to work to be able to view other people's art. There isnt much free sharing on MT any more

to be honest, I don't like it at all. The older version before this one was
the best among the three versions. well this is just my opinion.

Well it looks pretty interesting, EXCEPT FOR THE CREDITS SYSTEM, i do not think that a site that actually is made to SHARE images might implement a system in wich you need to earn creadits to download works you like.

i have to agree here. that system is not a very wise one. i will stay but i can say i wont be submitting anything or downloading either. and the groups limit is not such a good idea either. four max for being an admin? not wise since there are alot of people who have done at least 5. i am not one of them i only have three. also points to start a group not wise my friends not wise at all

im sorry but i really hate this new look i find it confusing and i cant find just one particular series any more. argggghhhhhhh!

Heres what i got to say. THIS SUCKS! i get the download message too just like Odysseus and when i posted in one of my groups, the post came up on someones guestbook that i dont even know. My groups are way too hard to get to. but i do like the advanced options for the groups. and what the hell happened to the signature images? and the credits?!? WTF thats just stupid. we worked hard for levels and there gone now. and...and... well im just pissed at this extramely confuzing new MT and They should cahnge it back. This one sucks. Heres more complaints. my userpage is all messed up, where the hell are my notifications?, i cant get to my groups bearly at all. my avi changed back to an avi i had about 3 weeks ago, the friends list is gone,

Quote by SebastianvonKaneIt sucks, you know, and I actually told it to Sheqel, but who knows if he did really listened to me.
No galleries? No search? And the "Quick Reply" form doesn't show text properly?
(You know, if your type a long line, it will just go beyond the frame).
I want MT 2 back, right here and right now!

and i agree here too. Sry to say it, but get this crap out and put MT 2 back. Im done for now but i will be back! Im not nearly done complaining yet!

um....sory but agree of saying the old is better than the new
i don't know where is the gallery submit is?
but they work this one so hard i guess it's ok we might get use to this

No being elitist for YoO.

I'm torn on the new layout. This WAS a bit drastic of a change, but most of that has already been said. Basically, this is a whole new community (and I will traet it as such) even though I have been roaming around here for a while.

I was thisclose to reaching lvl10 before this change, and it had been a slow process as I mostly lurked around. I am therefore a bit torn with the credit system. While it allows me to do the things I'd been patiently waiting to reach lvl10 to do, it will force me to do more here and lurk less. I see there are more forums that have been added here, so that, for me, makes it more likely that I WILL contribute more (NOT an artist and don't have much art to contribute otherwise, so THAT'S out). I guess we shall see...

I understand that there is a new version, and with all new versions there are going to be bugs. Not a problem, I can wait them out as most of them will probably not affect my level of activity here. That said, the new version is a bit more confusing, a LOT less user-friendly in terms of navigation (and MT was not all that great for navigation in the first place). I HOPE that it is something that will be worked on and made easier. After all, the last thing you want to do is make it harder for people, especially NEW people, to find what you have to offer (think of how many major coorporations have lost money because their websites were confusing to customers).

With all of that said, I will take the stance of "wait and see", and reserve my final judgement for later in the hopes that these problems are fixed.

However, there IS one thing I would like to see changed immediately: the lack of recient gallery submissions. With the new system in place, as far as I have been able to tell, it is impossible for anyone to see the latest pictures, walls, etc. that have been posted to this board. To view galleries, one has to go to the proper genre (BTW, how do we know which series is in which proper genre?) and then view the images. Only then can we see if anything new has been added to that particular gallery. There are going to be, mainly, a lot of people who used to submit their artwork here that are never going to have their stuff seen and/or commented on, certainly not to the degree they MIGHT have gotten, simply because it won't be on display to the masses like it used to be when it first gets posted. I'm personally not a big fan of fan art, but I have seen some excellent pieces in the past because they were on open display and I saw them whether I wanted to or not. With this new system, because I'm not a fan, I likely will not go to the dojin genre, will not see the art work there, and therefore not comment/fav/download something that might have otherwise caught my eye under the old version. This will only cause those who do this kind of artwork to post less and less of it, because they won't get the comments they might have otherwise gotten from people like me. Same could be said for those who don't particularly like ecchi (for example) but might have commented/fav/downloaded something that caught their eye under the old version (simply because they were FORCED to see it when browsing through the recient submission), that now WON'T go into the ecchi genre (or whatever other genre... pick one) and therefore the people who post stuff there also won't get the same kind of feedback they used to.

If you bring nothing else back from the old version, I'd highly recommend that you bring back the recient submission gallery pages, or at least make them as easy to find as before (like on the front/home page)... just in case I missed them in all the confusion.

There's my 2 bucks worth.

I definitely agree with Richcelt on that one. Recent gallery submissions on the front page were usually my source of veiwing new submissions as I almost never really took the time to browse through if I didn't see it first. Without it, a lot of new works will go unnoticed by tons of people, and a lot of feedback and support will be lost. Definitely one thing that should be brought back

I also find it quite pointless to have to use credit points to download your own submissions, I mean gee, they were our personal works in the first place, we should be able to see those at the least without using credits.

kyaa! i dont like it at all T-T. my poor page too...oooh take it back!

I've read just a few pages, but obviously the big point of contention is the credits system.

It's kind of like pulling teeth- in the short term it's gonna hurt, but sometimes you have to, to fix problems. I remember last week it would take anywhere from 10-30 seconds to load a page, and sometimes I'd see the "too many connections on line 14" message several times in a row. Whatever you think of the credit system, you do have to admit that pages load _much_ faster now, and animated avatars look much smoother now.

One long-term downside I see is that the potential exists for a lot more spam in the forums and such. A way to combat this might be to award credits for _valid_ reporting of spam. Another problem will almost definitely be a decrease in submissions; some tweaking will be necessary in regards to how many credits are earned and spent, and for which activities. One solution might be a "sliding scale" to where the more submissions one makes, the less it starts to cost them per submission. This would make things a little easier on frequent contributors; meanwhile, beginners should be encouraged to make good use of the "sandbox" thread. This probably isn't perfect; I'm just throwing ideas around.

Bottom line is, the credit system is gonna take a lot of tweaking, but it just might work. There is, after all, some visible improvement already, as Keltosh pointed out.

hell with this.. my userpage is a mess.. n where did the levels go? how do we diff between the newbies n all? man this SUX.. i want the old MT
