pics.bbzzdd.com rollback to 2.x

With all the complaints about the site speed and all, I am seriously considering rolling back to the old version.

The question is, if I can make the site fast enough with the new version would that be acceptable, or just to hell with it go back to what worked for years.

yes dude, the old version ruled.

sure the new version is prettier, but it isn't nearly as functional.

not to mention speed.

I see two options:

1. Turn off a lot of the stuff enabled right now in 3.xx. All the mouseovers, lots of the last-viewed stuff.
2. We could pretty up the interface of 2.xx and keep a lot of the stuff we shoulda put in right away, like the gallery view and marking stuff private.

YES

I like the old format, where i can easily see the last 25 pics, the top 25 recent, and it was once click two view a pic, not 3.

Why do I have to click twice to view a picture when I'm browsing a gallery? It's annoying.

I vote to make 3.0 quicker. Failing that, rollback to 2.x

EDIT: I think sully (yllus, but I always read it as sully) said it best.

Hell yes.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the new features of DannyBoy's 3.0 but my two complaints are:
  • 1) I prefer the old simple interface and not having to click 3 times to view a pic.
  • 2) SPEED. A lot of AT'ers were whining about bbzzdd's sluggish response times and I can confirm it is very slow. This isn't necessarily because of 3.0 but I remember 2.x being faster.

Again I have to give mad props to Modeps for hosting pics.bbzzdd.com for FREE :thumbsup:

The speed and old interface (the clicking 3 times to get to a picture) isnt so great in the new version. Anyway, mad props to all involved.
