New Look For Popular Page

March 1st, 2014
Has anyone else noticed the fab new look to the popular page? Or has it been so long since I checked it that I never noticed? Well done, Ross! love seeing pics in the larger format! @scrivna

I hardly ever look at the popular page but it sure has changed since I did check it out last. Not sure if I prefer the new or the old, I do like that the pics are larger but not liking the scrolling and I kind of liked seeing all the pics together as they were before.

I seldom check anymore partly because of the small pictures. These are so much easier to see!! I am liking it!!
March 1st, 2014
I take a look every few days or at least once a week. This is a way nicer format I think.
March 1st, 2014
Awesome! Much better then before! :)
March 1st, 2014
Much better! I love not having to click on each small image to see the picture. Great change Ross.
March 1st, 2014
I like this format nuch better - I shall be visiting more often now... thanks for the improvement Ross.

@timandelke thanks for pointing this out
March 1st, 2014
Much better! It looks more like the trending page, which I think has been very successful. Well done, Ross!
March 1st, 2014
I like this new format too!!! :)
March 1st, 2014
@timandelke Oh thank you for sharing this information. I had not checked the page for quite awhile. The new format really showcases the images much better. Thanks!
March 1st, 2014
Ah, yes, so much better! I too had practically stopped looking because the set up wasn't great for browsing. This is much better. :-)
March 1st, 2014
LOVE the new look! I had pretty much given up on the PP after the trending page started. The larger format really highlights the pics so much better. Thank you, Ross!
March 1st, 2014
Nice!:)
March 1st, 2014
Love the new format. Thanks for sharing the news. I didn't see it often, mostly because of the little size.
March 1st, 2014
I love it! There was something to be said for seeing your photo in that smaller images collage format...it made them all look so GOOD, including yours, and you would think "Wow, my pic is up there amidst all those amazing pics." So we just lost that. But, I like the large pics already opened up so we can see them.

Looks really good in new format!
March 1st, 2014
I check the PP a lot and I love the new change. Thank you Ross.
March 1st, 2014
I'd given up looking as it always seems to be full of cliched $#!+
March 1st, 2014
I like the new layout, but for those of us with sucky Internet connections, the pp page now takes so long to load, that it keeps timing out! :(
March 1st, 2014
I don't bother with pp and with it's new design just makes it more of a hassle
March 1st, 2014
@houdiniem
I agree Emily, it was far nicer to see the images at a glance, can peeps be bothered to scroll down
March 1st, 2014
oh its been done to the new face page too - grr, don't like it , its slow to load, takes time to scroll, wont be looking at this regularly anymore
March 1st, 2014
@scrivna. ..love it!

@scrivna Love the new PP :D
March 1st, 2014
Wow this is fabulous thanks for letting us know and thanks Ross
March 1st, 2014
Oh, like the Trending page. Much, much better.
March 1st, 2014
The resolution looks much clearer, but I miss having the "shuffle" function.
March 1st, 2014
It is great! I like the bigger picture, too!
March 2nd, 2014
Much better @scrivna! Thanks!
March 2nd, 2014
When viewing on my phone or a tablet takes 5x as long to view, bad design planning, thanks for heads up on new faces too @kmrtn6

@scrivna Is there a problem with the new PP ? My latest photo that appeared on there has suddenly disappeared, yet is still at a high position (according to the link that Alexis Birkill made ) I'm not really bothered by it, just wondering if there is a glitch in the new layout ? Thanks, Caz
March 2nd, 2014
Does anyone know if Alexis's @abirkill awesome extension is now broken with the new popular page layout?

I noticed my photo from yesterday is on the Popular Page, yay! But I didn't get my magical Alexis fav notification, nor is it showing up on my list of popular photos: http://alexisbirkill.com/365project/popularpage/getuserdetails.php?username=archaeofrog

Would be bummed to lose that feature; it always made my day!

(Also, I will be another note of dissent on the new design - doesn't render well on my netbook or tablet, and I rather liked seeing them all together. Easier for one to catch your eye than scrolling a long, long list.)

@cazann @archaeofrog Thanks for letting me know! I hadn't spotted that the new page layout had broken my tool.

Please don't blame Ross for this -- my tool is completely unauthorised and unofficial, and it's entirely expected that it will break if there's a layout change.

I've updated my page to process the new layout and hopefully continue to provide the same statistics, but it'll take a few hours to make sure I am able to get the same level of detail regarding how photos move up and down in popularity. Please do let me know if you spot any problems with it.

@abirkill Such an awesome service, you rock!

@abirkill Very cool Alexis, thank you :))

I'm one of the minority that prefers the old PP... I liked the collage. I agree you can see the photos better on this one. Just a matter of getting used to it I guess.
April 22nd, 2014
@scrivna Hi Ross, I am wondering if the algorithms for PP still work with the new format. As the pictures are so nice and big now, there is no need to 'view' them. I find that I get quite a few fav's on some pictures, but they don't come up on PP.

hi @888rachel in short... yes, it does
