Feedback Wanted - New Look Photography Tag

ajapayne

Good morning and seasons greetings everyone.

The Community Platform team has been busy beavering away updating the look and feel of the photography tag and we want to know what you fabulous photographers think of the updates.
The changes are over on Preview and it would be great to hear what you think of them.
The bulk of the changes are visual and include thumbnail views and a lightbox so you can open the images in full size (up to your screen size).
The guys over on Contribute have been helping with bugs and issues already so now it is time for you guys here on photography to tell us what you think.

This change is for you guys, so be honest, be brutal, and most importantly, enjoy!

Speak soon,
Blake

Actually I just think you guys have done a great job, it looks really good to me, and will hopefully get more giffgaffers involved with photography now that we will all be able to see the stunning photos members take 😃

Hi ajapayne

The Community Platform Team has restored the thumbnail views to the Photography Tag much quicker than I expected, so thank you for making it a priority. I would even say that the new look is better than the one we had with Lithium because it's cleaner looking and easier to see the photos.

A couple of points I would like to make however : one is that personally I would prefer to see the avatar n the bottom right of the box rather than in the top right where it obscures part of the photo. The other is that there seems to be a lot of white space on the page and even with my Firefox browser set to 80% I can stil see only six thumbnails.

@guy_ow Is there any chance now (or early in the New Year) of you taking the changes we discussed to the tag pre-Flarum further?

Edit: corrected to replace Lithium with Flarum 😅

ajapayne looks loads better! But I must admit I don’t understand why the photos are cut at a slant? Maybe keep them straight? Otherwise looks brilliant 😄 great job! 👍🏻

I've only recently found these photography posts and chats and hadn't thought to try to look at them in full screen! Now having tried the new option I like it and it'll be great for viewing on my phone (so far it's only been seen on my desk top computer). Keep up the good work! Well worth doing I reckon. 😄

Looks more modern with clear presentation. Is Snow Bacon the new mascot? 😹

essie112mm Hello

Yep it is certainly something I can look into in the New Year I reckon - will need to dig back through my notes to refresh my memory of it all first 🙂

I like the new look photography, it looks cleaner, more inviting.

claire1uk I’m glad you like it, but... if you could have anything change, what would it be?

Getting previews back in the photography section will be great.
