Comment on Site Update: New Features by ikazon
It's just like I said after the poll about the Smartphone OS. I voted None with that for a reason beyond honesty.
They are turning this place into another Youtube. I hate the default "today" homepage and their side-scroll lists. WHEN WILL SITE ADMINISTRATORS EVER LISTEN TO THEIR USERS!?! People actually use things called "computers" and it is greatly inconvenient to have to try to get through the side-scrolling lists.
And before anyone says anything like "Oh, it's still at the top, just click here-"
No. We did not require that before and it should not be a requirement now. If there is an option to set default homepage of Deviantart to avoid the side-scrolling setup, then I want to put that thing in. Otherwise, it's a crap move.
Besides, Deviantart, tell me this: How is a site that is meant to feature art and literature ever meant to be optimized for a 4.5" screen? Hmm? There's all kinds of small details one misses within artwork when it is resized to such a small point. And good luck ever trying to read stories or anything of any real length on such a screen. No no no no no.
Smartphone/tablet optimization-a fancy term for "screw computer users"-is a horrible idea that should not have been implemented. The smaller portables should have to yield to computer setups, not the other way around.
