No, I’ve always had center-aligned off. The tags look like they’re more stacked on top of each other than before.

@Background Pony #9324  
…I am not experiencing this. Might be something on your device.

@Background Pony #9324  
They are now narrowed like everything else below the image.

@Princess Luna  
Can they not be narrowed please?
 
I admit that one is largely personal preference. I don’t have any practical reasoning for that.

@Background Pony #F3FE  
I am for full width tags on left-alligned. Long tags or images with lots of tags (collabs for example) will generate painfully high stacks of tags otherwise.

@Princess Luna  
OH that’s what that is… I hadn’t noticed yet.

@Background Pony #F3FE  
@Lead Pie  
Agreed, Things were fine before with narrow descriptions and unnarrowed tags. This is getting silly and not addressing the actual issue, just making more tiny ones.

So, plan is to show both artist credit and upload credit, up top, artist on left, uploader on right (if different from artist). However, before that, the plan is to move back uploader credit, but with time first and badges removed. Additionally, metabar being spaced out should help that whole area look better by being less cramped. This is a WIP mockup:

@Princess Luna  
Just to clarify, what does it look like when the artist is different from the uploader? Your mockup appears to credit the upload to Sweetie Bell3, and I’m not sure if that is the uploader or the artist just by looking at that. I approve of this idea, though, I was thinking of suggesting the same thing. And thanks for posting a mockup, this makes it a lot easier to discuss.
 
Oh, and for those of us who like using the keyboard shortcuts (like S for source,) one more couldn’t hurt. If the artist name up top is a link to the artist tag, could the A key be a keyboard shortcut for that? I dunno how many times I’ve seen an image I liked and immediately wanted to see more from the artist. It’s a little thing.

@WingbeatPony  
It is meant to communicate “Uploaded [timestamp] by …”. The artist presentation will take some development so is still very speculative at this point, and we’re still collecting feedback.

@Princess Luna  
Sounds like a good idea, but I’m not sure about the exact layout/spacings yet.  
I think I’ll give my feedback once it can be tested out. Might prefer the size information on the lower row since it can differ in character count/length quite a bit.

@Princess Luna  
I’m really not sure about removing Badges from the uploader info. Since you have cases such as Duck badges. Or the badges that are specifically for people uploading well. Which would now not be visible.  
And it’s also hiding the artist badge. Which, yeah. Is already covered by their name then appearing on the left with their tag. But still feels like a loss. People like the little pictures.

@Zeb  
This.

Motherfu-
 
There’s a separate thread for this shit

@The Smiling Pony  
I’m not the one who cross-posted the mockup here, and my comment did include a new feature suggestion, so don’t look at me.

@Zeb  
Show only duck and artist/other relevant badges :V

Oh hey, I just noticed that the forum info at the top of forum pages is smaller now, and the user dropdown icons for stuff like Watched and Favorites are different now.
 
Was this just rolled out, or am I just really slow to notice these things? …I’m betting the latter.

@Jarkes  
Most of the icons went through a small redesign. I really like the new Hide Icon, alto7gh it do3s bother me that its flipped from the view symbol. I’ll get Over it though.

Now all the tags are left aligned.
 
I’m giving up on giving feedback on this site. These bush-league designers don’t listen and don’t know when to stop either.

What’s going on with the top bar now? Ugh, I swear, phones are taking over…

@Princess Luna  
IMO extra spacing just makes it look worse…
 
This is with 150% zoom PLUS 150% scaling

This is with 67% zoom PLUS 150% scaling (effectively 100% zoom)
 
https://i.imgur.com/8mLNmRk.png
 
Most of the time I browse the site at 150% zoom PLUS 150% scaling due to that it takes full advantage of the high pixel density thumbnails… but… yeah… it just looks silly to me… but one guy’s opinion out of many…
 

 
I’m not exactly quite sure what is being accomplished with these changes…. but, personally, I liked it a lot better how it was like a few days ago
 
 
But, again, just one guy’s opinion out of many… I guess it mostly looks silly to me with all the extra space just not being used… if it was all just one big bar of space that’d be one thing… but… with it split up between icons like that…
 
I probably just have to get used to it
 
Okay… showing the 100% zoom image was kind of silly…. as I don’t know if anyone would browse the site with it looking that small… but even the 225% zoom [150% zoom, 150% scaling] (the top one I linked) looks ridiculously spaced out to me…
 
Okay, I changed my mind… this isn’t just something to get used to… it’s actually much worse.. even with 225% zoom

@Rainboom Dash  

 
[Raises hand]  

 
Edit:  
Wait. Think I forgot the extra bits you did with the 100% Zoom.  
Ignore me~  

@Zeb
 
What I want to know is why the hell is everything in the bar above the image so spaced out now? The picture you linked under ‘raises hand” is how it’s supposed to look but now there are giant gaps between the nav buttons, rating buttons, etc; like it’s set relative to screen size or something.
 
I really want to know what this designer is doing, what they think they’re trying to accomplish, because everything they’ve been doing so far is just terrible. I’m actually getting angry about this now. What was so wrong about how the image page was before they that felt the need to go and mess everything up? I mean, sure, they put the top bar back the way it was with the uploaded information on top but it’s like they just couldn’t resist messing something else up.
 
Somepony tell them to stop!
