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 simple design of the original bbzzdd is what got it to take off IMO. The original design was almost perfect for what is was. People liked using pics.bbzzdd.com because it was fast, reliable, simple image hosting (and of course FREE!). I think you would find very few people are using all of the new features that cause the slowdown with 3.0.
 
im gonna go with yes roll back

however if you can make the new version faster do it and then give the user the option on which version they wanna use
 
Sorry, I'm sure the new one took lots of work, but i was really supprised when you switched. Not really the speed that makes me mad, just the interface I could live without, and the fact that it opens like 3 new windows before I get to see the full size pic.

The pic size is not really the problem. The problem is the software is hammering the database doing all the little bells and whistles. It's killing the back end.

Keep in mind that will even be slow because the system is getting hammered by 3.0.

I just clicked the sh!t outta your ads
 
The new version kicks ass as far as features go. You said in another thread that the problem is being fixed for those who complain about speed issues. What IS that problem and how is it being fixed?

If you can speed up thew current version, that would be ideal. The old version didn't have the features and functionality.
 
The problem is just an abundance of database queries tying up CPU time. You would think that bandwidth would be a problem, but the guys who've generously donated b/w and server space tend to locate themselves on pretty damn large pipes.

With some reorganization of the UI I could make 3.xx a lot more friendly, but if everyone would simply like to go back to 2.xx anyways...

careful. i've read stories of google cutting off ad money because of abusive clicks. doesn't matter if someone else (besides the site owner) did it.
 
God yes

As an alternative, would you be interested in mad hardware donations? A dual opteron should be able to handle the backend, right?
 
I like the gallery option, but I hate having to double select a picture. The hot key and click doesn't always open the image directly for me.

Plus who cares about all the exif and stuff.

we want the b00bies.....ducks ain't so bad either.
