#bad UI

[zemathememequeen]

Ok, no, I actually want to talk about how bad the new discord mobile design is as a user.

If I get a DM on discord, then a little notification icon appears at the top of my discord app alerting me of this. To view the DM, I then have to swipe to open the server list, and then look to the bottom of the screen to see that it's a DM. Upon tapping the messages icon, it opens the messages, and where is the new message? Near the top of the fucking screen.

Compare this to the old layout. The notification appears in the top left, and I swipe to open the server list. I can now not only instantly see that I have a DM (or DMs) because my eyes are already looking at the top of the screen, but I can also see exactly who has messaged me because it shows me their icon. And if more than one person has messaged me, I can not only see that too, but I can also choose whose message I want to read first.

In addition, not only is it significantly more inconvenient to view my DMs, it's also more inconvenient to get back to the server list.

It utterly baffles me that discord would change this design. I have to go through more screens now to see my DMs, and I have to move my eyes from the top, to the bottom, then back to the top of the screen to view them. It is just straight up worse design! What were they thinking???

What is this Scroll nonsense and how do I get rid of it?!

I know @staff likes to change the UI from time to time, but this abomination makes it so difficult to navigate this app! Please reverse it to how it once was, or at least make the previous navigation set up and option!

Trying to look up something and there are only tutorials on how to DISABLE IT! qet54 I need to enable something I am at my fucking edge and will commit acts of heavy bloodshed if if these SEO maggots from HELL don't die. If you see news of a gingered haired girl committing such acts of bloodshed than you'll know it was ya girl Iris. (This is not meant to be taken as a threat)

Anyway, if anyone would be so kind as to inform me as to how you enable the desktop notifications then that'd be very useful.

When I make a haircut appointment at my usual place online the interface forces me to choose whether I want a men's haircut or a woman's haircut. Which is the same "haircut under 25cm" service from the same master for the same price, I just need to hand in a gender as a part of the ritual. So what I usually do is choose a different option every time. Last time it was a male one, this time it was a female one. I have been going for pretty much the same style for the last year or so, but sometimes it's flowers and shopping flavoured, and sometimes it's guns and woodchopping flavoured, I guess.

Anyway, the hair clipper somehow decided to bite into my ear and cause an overdramatic bleeding today, so now I can say that, statistically speaking, the female version of my hairstyle is way more bloody and violent than the male one.

Okay, see this? This really bugs me.

This is not well designed UI. Why would they do that? Why would they put that gem there and bump the shop icon so it covers the notes? This is stupid.

That not everything is designed to generate engagement you stupid fucking automated prompt? #BadUI #FailSite #LeaveMeTheFuckAlone

Days since Tumblr updated the sites UI: 0

Tumblr please stop updating the user Interface.

For the love of everything good on this hellsite, Please just leave it alone! I don't want UI changes I want a functional video player.

Like look at this shit.

No not the birds, look closer.

What the fuck is this??! Why dose it look like this? Why did you feel the need to change it?

What happened to me being able to see the original poster, who reblogged it from them, who reblogged that, and the person who reblogged it onto my dash? I liked being able to see how it ended up on my dash with the last two or three people who reblogged it. It was like seeing a note being passed a few rows ahead of you in class.

Now it feels like I'm reading a work email that got forwarded to me from my boss or something. I don't like it.

Saw a post I thought did not need a community label. Knowing that there are different categories, I thought the button to suggest a community label would bring up a selection of categories and possibly a button to mark an improperly placed one. Turns out that button doesn't even have a confirmation prompt, so I contributed to the problem. But tumblr claims it's not a big deal because moderation goes through things manually. Even though I just saw that can't be the case.

The most egregious thing about the "snooze Tumblr live" toggle is that it doesn't automatically reset when the snooze time is up.

My bros, this is not how a snooze button works.

Just got hit with the sidebar, lads. Feels bad. Looks worse. Another swing and a miss from @staff.

[agent-smiley]

the messenger notification in the FB app won't go away no matter what I do so now I can never use that app again

[angryraptor13]

@staff I miss the happy speech bubble. Please fix.

WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE DID THEY TOOK HER?

[mekkthemighty]

One UI 7 got forced updated on my phkne and I just spent 20 minutes figuring out how to fix everything it just did

The main one is the notification bar became near impossible to access cuz it opens quick settings instead, if anyone else is having this problem heres how to fix:

Open quick settings for the umpteenth time, hit the edit pencil, hit panel settings, select "together" and your frustrations should be over

is there any definitive reason why the "top posts" function at the top of blogs is just... objectively wrong most of the time?
