As i promised a while ago, i'm starting to share the features of my incoming new site with you. We are working hard and around the clock since 2 months now to deliver the best possible experience to my site visitors and subscribers and hopefully you will appreciate the attempt to innovate and entertain you and you will help us to test and fine tune the new components.

The first piece is the gallery section from the new incoming members' area.

Check it out, test it and enjoy a few free galleries at

http://leevanadis.com/RESP/

The idea behind the gallery was to to make it responsive to any screens' size, accessible from any device and modern browsers and tailored around you, making pictures and their availability to you paramount.
I'm not going to explain what you can or cannot do with it, because i want to test how user friendly is, having you using it just following your instinct ;)

Remember: this is in beta and it runs in a beta server and it's not completed, yet. I would really appreciate it if we could keep this thread alive and seeing it populated with your feedback.

bugs
possible improvements
usability
graphics
colors
etc

If you need to report a bug, please post the following:

bug
how to reproduce it
browser and its version used
device used
attach a screenshot when possible

If you feel to suggest an improvement, please post the following:

improvement
a sketch over a screenshot to make us understand better ;)


And of course, if you like it or dislike it, feel free to say it here and why.

Everybody who has contributed with ideas and bug reports by whne we will launch my new site will be rewarded with one week of free membership to the new site.

Next week, i will post and show you another piece from the incoming site.

Just having looked at it myself, I can't see anything majorly wrong so far. It loads smoothly, all the buttons are responsive, and each image comes up in an appropriate aspect for my screen. The only minor nitpick I have is the option at the top "Select images for donwloading", obviously that needs to be fixed, but it's only grammatical and not really having to do with the site's layout or usability.
 
I did not have any problems scrolling through the galleries, opening individual pics, going back and forth between pics, slideshow, downloading full gallery and downloading selected pics. Did laugh at the line "Your download should be start now" when downloading selected pics. The zip files extracted into neat little folders.

I got a boner and now i need to :rubbel: thinking of you :blowjob: me :D

Thank you so far, guys. I'd love it if you left your browser version and device also when all seems to work. That would help a lot. Zipped and download cart is consistent? Checked buttons are there when crossing galleries, selecting, deselecting etc? Is it intuitive enough? Suggest colors and graphics changes if any. Do you like the chance to zip your own gallery cross galleries?
 
Firefox 19.0.2 on a computer. Zipped and download cart is working excellent. Checked buttons are still there after switching galleries, no problems deselecting either. Colors and graphics are okay, and i love the possibility to add pictures from different galleries into a zipfile.

The same for me; I run Firefox (the latest) on my laptop, carts are fine, buttons remain. The colors are meh, but I honestly don't have any suggestions as to how they could be changed. Creating your own zipfile would be a nice touch.

Using Pale Moon 19.0.2-x64 (a variant of Firefox, but with a faster engine) on a notebook.

Apart from some nitpicking I haven't got much to add:

As mentioned by Apollo 'donwloading' should be corrected. When right clicking on an image '(c) made by Fabio and Pimple' pops up, and clicking on it leads to the main page of Google instead of...?

Usability: it's self explenatory.
Bugs: no bugs, all works fine.
Colors: I'm not to happy about the blue box where some descriptive title should be in. A more neutral and transparant color might do (grey-ish).
Structure: I don't like it when there is no border between content and the edge of the screen. It makes it look cramped. But that's a personal preference.

Great job!
 
I am using Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop with Google Chrome 26.0.1410.43 m

I have one bug, it appears random. See the picture below, when this happens I can not do anything, I must close the tab to get out of it.

Maybe it is an idea when you click next the picture that it also closes, that works faster and nicer I think.
 
As an interface designer I have following ideas and feedback:

"Select Images to download":
Problem 1: What is a button actually has to look like a button. Right now it's just a text. Simply misleading design, you have to take care of that.
Problem 2: Text is misleading, it should be: Download selected images, right now you might think: If i click here, I can select what I want to download

The hook to select pictures:
Isn't easiely seen at first sight. You have to experiment here. Maybe a normal checkBox with a grey hook indicator will work better here. Use what people are used to.

General:
The website right now is okay, but at first look it's too heavy. For mobile users that might be Okay, but when you are in front of your PC, there is a picture wall from the very left to the very right. This is simply too much. Better leave one thumbnail per row away, and create empty space on the sidebars. This way the User "thinks" he has more control over the site, he has more of a "document" type picture-wall to view. However, on the mobile it might be best to keep it like this, haven't tested it.

Whenever you are viewing a single photo, the buttons could be a bit more descriptive. The X and the Zoom are Okay, but information and play definitely need a tooltip (when you hover over them with the mouse). At least for me it was like: Okay, let's try out what these buttons are. Don't make the user an experimenter. Let him check the page out and he has to find out quickly where everything is and what it does.

Pure Positives:
The page will be very good if this style is continued, it hasn't to be remade entirely. I like the general idea behind it!

Thank you Tass for your feedback.
1 and 2 were already on the list and not yet implemented just because the header and footer will be totally different and matching the whole new site.

Cool beans on the other suggestions. I like the tooltip or more intuitive buttons and the checkmarks definetely need improvement.

Ok guys. We have added a few of your suggestions and are working on others.

http://leevanadis.com/RESP/

1- fixed some text
2- replaced download text with button
3- thumbs checkmarks are now green + and red -
4- smoothed the rectangle when mouse over on thumb

(3) should make the thumbs selection more intuitive and immediate than it was before; i'm sort of satisfied with those icons choices, but of course let me know what you think
(4) the same: i think we have picked a nice grade of violet grey which fits well in the rectangle purpose without shocking (previous blue, plain bright white) or saddening (there is enough grey on the page imo) lol Let me know
(2) here stand my concerns; i agree with tass2 about a button being the most natural choice, but, as it stands now, it feels a bit too cluttered to me. Consider that on that header we will have to fit a Sabrina Deep logo and a navigation section too; opinions are ideas are greatly welcome. Button-style wise, we have replaced the LOAD MORE THUMBNAILS one on bottom of +24 images galleries to show you a button-style alternative: do you like it? I'd like to follow a pattern about buttons so i'm wondering if we shall use the same kind for the DOWNLOAD SELECTED IMAGES one. Have your say.

Godsembryo and tass2: we are testing some alternatives to leave some right and left margins, but what we have come up with so far doesn't make me happy: either we abandon the idea of footer and especially header fix or we add margins to header and footer as well or otherwise adding marging to left and right only to the gallery body it makes it look as if it was an iframe and it feels poop; another "problem" is portability over mobile devices: our initial idea was not to serve a different layout for mobile devices, but if we add margins it is not going to look nice and consistent on mobile screens. Anyway, we are still working onit and hopefully we can figure a honorable way out ;)

Please please please, send your feedback and ideas and until the next.

Maybe an alternative to give it breathing space is to add some more space between the images. And it wouldn't feel that much like an iframe. The white background of the images would have to be black too because of the contrast otherwise, but a white border on the images might bring back some contrast.
