yea this looks worse on mobile i concur.
The new layout is ugly as hell
The moral of the story is... Change is Bad.
More like change that no one wanted is bad.
Copied this from another post, but here's what one of the admins said:
"We had several issues we were working through with the past system and our advertisers wanted to see the site cleaned up from a content standpoint. We’ve worked with them and made the changes in order for us to start generating revenue again.
We are going to have an open work session with any super users that can make it next week to discuss in a positive way a happy medium of user experience and the new updates".
Idk if this is a good news or not. But just keep the forums updated for awhile. Hoping for some new announcements or smt.
it sounds very corporate speak ngl. doesn't surprise me that advertisers pushed this, they just want constant upward growth
No but seriously, I hate it too. It's just f**king ugly! Whichever corporate shill redesigned this website has no taste! I will not get used to this!
more like they just changed how things look (made them uglier and less efficient) and didnt add any of the stuff people were asking for.
That's Disney evil!
Well I just hope these were all just "testing the waters" type of sh*t and they'll probably fix and improve it somehow.
EDIT: idk what happened, but I can't even edit a profile! The edit profile option is gone! It was there when I logged in and edit a few stuff, but then POOF! It just....gone!
It looks like the website, JustWatch.Although the yellow bars on the new layout reminds me more of IMDb lmao.

But I still have problems with editing all profiles, especially inaccurate casting suggestions!
Has anyone thought of making a browser addon that restores the layout in the mean time?
Has anyone thought of making a browser addon that restores the layout in the mean time?i would love that, bur i don't know enough about making browser addons to do it myself.
i'm honestly concerned about the readability of this site in the new layout. the text size for the title, subtitle, and plot summary on stories is tiny - i think the words "story plot" are bigger and easier to read than the title! the font is also very thin, and that plus the subtitle being grey against a black background is NOT a good combination for readability. on browser, i need to zoom in to at LEAST 150% for it to start to feel comfortable to read, and this is coming from someone who doesn't have significant vision problems. i can't imagine what it's like for folks with more severe visual impairment.
the tags on a story don't stand out at all, either, and like everything else they're much too small. when i'm browsing stories, they stand out because their little bubbles are bright blue - but then we run into the problem of the text contrast. there's a few websites that offer free text color contrast checkers. i used one on webaim dot org, and the blue background (#00b3e5) with white text (#ffffff) only had a contrast ratio of 2.44:1, which is considered a "fail" for readability.
as for the roles on stories, having the text overlaid on top of the images looks....bad. it's cutting off actors' heads (in fact, the images of suggested actors all seem to be cut off at both the top and bottom, meaning a lot of pictures that have been uploaded don't look very good), and, despite the small gradient, the text is hard to read on any images with a white background.
tldr; the new layout not only looks bad but it seems to be something of an accessibility nightmare.
Why can't I like other comments?!
For some reason, you have to refresh the page to see if you liked a comment. Also, it doesn't show who else liked the comment, unlike the old layout.
Also, speaking of actor profiles, country flags are now not visible on actor profiles. Previously, country flags are usually present on the profiles of a actors from a specific country/nationality. Now, they're not visible anymore.
And I can't even edit actor profiles for SOME REASON smh.
And I can't even edit actor profiles for SOME REASON smh.You and me both! I’m ticked! Same for the flags!!!
I have been exchanging emails with an admin, they are aware of the backlash.
Funny how the admin said the advertisers wanted the site cleaned up, but all they did was make it more messy.
I've noticed the new layout and I just wanna say, the new layout is to me rather nauseatingly ugly
Paris Vega posted this to the official Mycast subreddit (r/mycastio) four days ago. (www (.) reddit (.) com/r/mycastio/comments/1lbgzn6/mycastio_updates/)
We're going to be making weekly updates to MyCast to keep it more stable than before and also to try and improve the design. We appreciate your patience. It's been a wild year. The platform is much more stable than it used to be, but we've got a lot of work to do to make it easier to use. Thanks for all your suggestions and keep them coming!I do wish they'd like. Actually post these updates onsite. Especially now that you can't post offsite links anymore so it's ten times harder to show them here.
