Description

The eclipse is a disaster! I didn't test it because I don't know how it works, but it dissatisfied most users with the new schedule they made. Looking at the screenshots they provided and polls from other users, it's clear enough that it's a mistake. Most of the gadgets on the old site didn't exist. Everything is big, unorganized, chaotic, and cumbersome. It looks like an Internet version of Windows 10 that Microsoft launched on the market three years ago. There is no way I'm going to use a newer version of the site you provided for us. If you launch this, many professional illustrators will leave. The site will end in the same way YouTube ended five years ago. It's gross! It looks like an art station. Likewise, it's not friendly at all. Look at this screenshot to see how our galleries will look in the future. I wrote a suggestion, by the way. Please share this. (deviantart.zendesk.com/hc/en-u… ) Good luck!
Join our groups, DA-Revolution and Stop-Eclipse , to cease this madness. Here's a message dedicated to the administration: thumb767436852: Here's another one. It's related to the new copyright infringement rule.

THE NEW PLACE TO REACT: Thank You for Your Feedback on Eclipse! Last week, we announced the Beta launch of DeviantArt Eclipse — a completely redesigned version of DeviantArt that puts more emphasis on artists and their art. As a Beta release, Eclipse is still under development and only available to a small portion of the DeviantArt community. We use the Beta release to gather feedback that allows us to closely analyze deviant engagement and sentiment. Over 4,000 deviants have already tried Eclipse and many have shared their invaluable and much-appreciated feedback. We’ve received nearly 1,700 individual Eclipse feedback reports — including 407 bug reports, 532 feature requests, and 748 pieces of general commentary. Our team has read through and triaged over 60% of these reports and has a goal of completing all of them in the coming week. Thank you to every deviant who has taken the time to share feedback. Whether you’re someone who provided a few words or several paragraphs of candid response, we appreciate the passion you have for

re: EclipseNote: This journal is now many months old, and a lot of things i talk about here have since been fixed, or at least addressed. Not all of them, mind you; and the gist remains: Eclipse is vastly different from the current “Green Site” and introduces many changes, and not all of them for the better (in my opinion). Feel free to continue to share/mention this journal (you have my thanks!), or read Part II of my analysis.

Alright, where do i begin? After having used the Eclipse Beta for a while, i have collected a bunch of thoughts – and i have also submitted lots of them as feedback via the appropriate channels. Regardless, i Here's a forum thread related to this topic. (forum.deviantart.com/devart/ge… )

Original:

As you can see in screenshots provided by V0IDSPACER , the engineers of DeviantART Inc went low by stealing the design from a professional site art station.

Now let's get back to the point.

The icons look more blurry and have a dreadful image resolution. Same with the pictures.
The thumbnails of the pictures are too big.
Too much space.
Harder to navigate.
Slower to browse DeviantART Eclipse with Chrome.
Scroll down, no option to click from previous to next. (Endless scrolling wonderful.)
The header for the image should be sized down a bit.
The layout looks bland and boring.
No option to hide your activity or turn yourself visible or invisible.
No widgets.
Vote up a comment. What is this, Twitter? Nobody wants that. People will abuse this.
The layout looks awful and primitive.
No CSS Journal skins.
No custom boxes.
Inbox looks gross, and it looks like a poor clone of Microsoft Outlook Express.
Visible location. Do you have an idea of what cyberbullying is doing with user data? They misuse, steal their identity and use their data to perform unlawful actions that are illegal. Congratulations, I already see this site ending on the court, because of this dumb move. But, it's optional. It doesn't matter, it's still garbage, and it shouldn't be allowed.

We want a real "eclipse." Not a poor copy of Art Station and social sites, but I'll be honest, I prefer an old design because it's better and more friendly. As for Eclipse, move it to a mobile version, and everybody will be happy.

Widgets. They should stay where they are!
Make thumb codes for images, stamps, and pixel art available.
Make image HTML codes for GIFs available.
Make existing CSS coding for backgrounds for custom widgets available, as well as existing journal skins.
The ability to move the comment section wherever on the page rather than being stuck directly below.
The option to change your page to whatever theme and color you want is not limited to the widgets. The option to choose is better than black and white. For example, a space theme, a Halloween theme, a nature theme, and a cartoon theme
Allow animated icons for more frames than the usually limited frame that is available to function.
Better quality for both non-animated icons and animated icons.
Animated icons and non-animated into a bit bigger sizes.
Bring back the previous help desk platform. The old one was a landmark, and it was superior to the new one.
Expel the Protect Art team and Daniel, and return the old rules of reporting copyright infringement.
We also need the option to remove comments, and here is why: Spammers, death threats, chain emails, and trolling. I was spammed five years ago with death threats and nonsense gibberish comments, and hiding or flagging them is not enough; it makes the comment section look messy. Then again, removing comments would let abusive users remove their evidence for art thieves and harassers.

Something tells me this will not end well. I already see many members who will leave the site because of this stupid update. If you read our comments as you claim, then listen to our advice and forget about this nonsense. You will lose the reputation of millions of members who spent tens of years trying to build the site that we use today. You will exasperate volunteers, senior members, professional members, professional illustrators, and ordinary deviants because of this new update. I could count tons of them, but many people have done it better than me. Eclipse looks too complicated, primitive, and weird.

Whoever came up with the ever-so-genius idea of never-ending scrolling in someone's gallery gets no respect from me. Including this ridiculous eclipse! I can understand when the administration wants to experiment with the new browsing technique, but this isn't what I meant. This never-ending scrolling jolts you so much; it's no wonder why people loathe that function so much. Yes, I am aware of the option that allows you to disable it, but when you visit someone's gallery in eclipse or incognito mode, it becomes aggravating to watch how hundreds of drawings are popping out each second. I prefer an old way of browsing someone's gallery by clicking the next page rather than cracking a wheel button on my mouse until I reach the bottom. Sometimes, when you try to “fix” something, you only end up making it worse.
