Instead of a new button, why not just have *clicking* the search bar itself be the trigger of a dropdown advanced search? This gives you all the real estate you need to add things like "Tag Search" or whatever.

One concern there is if it would be weird when auto-suggestions kick in... And it still wouldn't be clear when you're on a results page that certain filters are in effect, like if you arrive via clicking a tag.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about auto-suggestions. Scrap that. I'd stick with this concept then.

That's why advanced search is a separate menu all-together, though. The easiest way to add a button is just have a button below the auto-suggestions.

See, I'd be tempted to say that by the time you're into advanced options, you aren't looking for suggestions - you already kinda of know what you're getting into (because you'd have a specific author in mind, etc.) I dunno.

Hey, this just more of a Desktop suggestion really.

RE: the new bbs skin.


Could you look at maybe a bit extra padding and up to 1.5x line spacing on the main text? on desktop at least.

Seems gudd on mobile

Response to Mobile Layout Suggestions Thread 2018-12-21 18:42:16


I couldn't find a general suggestions place in the forums, it got buried in all the shitposts, but I'll put it here if that's fine.


Maybe see about setting up ether a way to setup live streams, or have a way to embed Twitch, or Picarto streams somewhere, and maybe make a little notification to tell if one of your favorite creators are currently live? It would be a way to keep people on the site so this place can be a one shop stop for all things creative or something. Because honestly I don't find myself checking those sites like ever and gravitate to ether here on youtube daily.


Possible? already suggested? Stupid addition? i don't know, I just think that would make it interesting,

Response to Mobile Layout Suggestions Thread 2018-12-25 09:42:00


I have a couple of suggestions, though more desktop related.

  1. For profile page requesting ability to revert to default icon/background.
  2. Floating "respond to this topic" button on the bbs.

@liljim I'm having issues setting the mood on posts to the forum on mobile. The issue could be reproduced on my desktop firefox in responsive design mode.


Instead of setting the mood, the post disappears as if I clicked outside the modal box

This is nice. I'd like a separate section for "Reactions" too bcuz omg, they can be overwhelming, esp when I log in and have 20+ notifications but they're mostly just users making faces at my posts.

When you see reactions in your feed, you can click the gear icon and hide reactions from that particular item or for all items of that type, although I have a feeling that would also hide them from the dedicated reactions feed.

One for the forums, in the mobile view there's no option to jump to the last page of a thread from the main board like you can on the desktop site, you need to click into the thread, scroll down to the bottom, then click through to the last page.


Fine for most threads, but a bit of a pain for stuff like Clubs & Crews were everything is going to have multiple pages.

We're particularly interested in your mobile experience on the new pages (currently just collections, the feed and a few scattered pages). If you don't like something, try to think of what we could change to make it better and clearly explain that change. If you're handy with Photoshop, mock-ups are especially fun.

If you don't have any feedback yet, try taking some time each day to check your NG feed. I've made mine a button on my iPhone homescreen, so I can check on it just like I do with Twitter.

You should make an option for people who like the old layout. If users had an option/setting that could change the layout to the old layout that use to be on NewGrounds, they probably might enjoy it more . It doesn't really improve the sight but I think it's a cool feature.

No, just make the small ones bigger. Or maybe I should just browse horizontally on my phone. I usually use newgrounds on desktop anyway, so it's nothing I'm too worried about.

I feel the top menu buttons could be bigger, I can access them just fine but they dont look that user friendly.


As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be on Newgrounds.

You know , a judgement zone for art and movies plus scouting lists could be useful since im on iOS and desktop versions of the site can be too small for me and others so you could judge , vote and see discover new artists on the go instead of going all the way home to the pc or laptop to check it.

I using Safari on iPad mini 2, and i have to say, Everything don't work there. The Navigation menu, rating system and comment isn't working on Mobile version. Even submitting artwork don't work as well. I can't put title and info and artwork as well. The only thing it working is the home page but that it.


I can't even go to my profile page or even the drop down menu that I have to go to Classic Page to go to my profile.

Do you have an ad blocker running? Do you see the top nav bar with the "NEWGROUNDS" text?

If you browse the games section on mobile, it only shows games that are tagged as mobile-friendly.


Sometimes games get in here that aren't mobile-friendly and other times mobile-friendly games don't get tagged. I believe there's also still a bug where if someone updates their game file, it resets the mobile-friendly status, which is kinda hidden in the current project system - this is all getting fixed in the new project system that's coming.

Ah! Even better. I just noticed plenty of games I try to play on mobile gives me the error. I thought that there was a system not yet implemented. But it's great to hear that it's all getting fixed later down the road.


We should consider a mobile mod status for users who regularly game on mobile :3

There's a goal to solve that but it's on the backburner right now while a bunch of other stuff get's finished. Once the whole site is mobile-friendly we want to keep making it better and better there.
