I knew once I saw the atrocious collections UI pass without comment like a rancid fart in an elevator filled with bodybuilders, that this abomination was coming to the main site sooner or later...
As someone with eye problems, I need to use windows scaling and more to even be able to read for more than a few hours a day, and now I can only see 2 freaking mods at once on the page unless I hide the filters, in which case it jumps to a whopping three. Clearly the evils of shrinkflation has gotten out of hand, if it is coming for our very UIs.
"that have not been updated for over a decade." Was it broken? Unusable? Is McDonalds going to put pickled pigs feet on their burgers next, because they haven't changed their recipe in over a decade?
"Improved Accessibility" LMAO, I have blind spots and severe ghosting, I can't even use the site anymore at the zoom I need. Great job breaking it, my hero. A wheelchair ramp into a lava pit is not "Improved Accessibility".
"these details make the site feel less polished." I guarantee you that no one can tell unless they have wasted their lives on an art degree.
It is the same old story in UX design: about once a decade some new hire or bored oldhead thinks they have to earn their keep or some nonsense and decides to destroy everything that people have gotten comfortable with, that JUST WORKS. This garbage belongs on a mobile site or buried in a shallow grave alongside windows 8's UI, not contaminating my desktop PC.
Post a poll on the main page, for everyone to vote, and let's see what the actual users have to say, or at least have to gumption to admit you don't care; all the criticism in the world evidently doesn't prove anything to anyone given the fingers in the ears going on in this thread alone.
Heck, the way things are going on the site these days, you could even use the list of people who voted they didn't like the new UI, to purge the site of dissenters against your regime, a clear win-win for everyone.
If I seem angry, it is only because I am furious. The only reason I am risking a ban by merely posting on these accursed forums is because the site is dead to me, as in literally unusable.
