@Shinsimilla, "I don't like only tiny icons for the watering and temp details etc, the old one was much easier to see what you're looking at." just seen that if you click on them (tiny icons) or nutrients, you have a pop up with the old displays

@Xabii, couldn't agree more! I have been saying this to them in private messages and so happy to see other people saying the same thing. The potential of this site is amazing and it was semi decent when I joined, but there has been no care for the community and no responsibility taken for the last 4years or more.

@GrowDiaries, it would be nice if there were actions to statements. PC/Desktop users do not like the new interface because it is to much mobile like. Why don't you stick with the old interface for PC users and "simply" (I know it is not simple) fix the bugs. And keep the new interface for mobile/app. The thing is tho, that PROBABLY won't happen because, and I assume that you, as a company, lost touch with your Community which are also your Creators, no Creators = no content = dead website. For example a quote from one of your replies on this blog post: "@HerbalEdu, thanks for letting us know! We've fixed the bug you've described. The thing is the time will come when we will not be able to support both versions of the platform. So the idea is to make the new version of the platform as convenient as possible!:facepunch:" BTW, "when we will not be able" translates to "we do not want to", there is a solution to every problem if one wants to solve it. Users report consistently that the new Interface is not more convenient, and give feedback, which then does not get applied and it gets worse. Your solution to that, say that you will stop support for the old interface at some point??? My advice would be to make a big Poll, advertise it BIG on the front page, let your users and Content Creators vote on what they like more. In the future, do the same again, give voting options for possible features and let the people choose if they like it or not. I will be honest with you, if you stick with the new Interface I am out and so will others, it is super annoying to use and I gave more than enough Feedback and all that came were empty promises and making it worse. You do yours, I made my decision, there was a time when there were no good alternatives, but not anymore.

This is a joke. The draft function totally fucks with the old overview because you can't add new weeks properly. I used to edit the last week - copy text layout out of it - exit edit - add new week and paste the layout. Now it always wants do edit the week from the draft, so the draft saves even when nothing was changed. Videos in the new overview don't always properly play, a simple click on the 6 field overview plays/pauses but no indication whatsoever that a play/pause did happen except the video playing or pausing. You can not open a video to a bigger view by clicking on it. You can open a image for a bigger view - scroll to the video which then does NOT PLAY and there is also no option for Fullscreen view. Still only 6 images max shown for each week and then you gotta click in and SCROLL DOWN, super weird and toxic UI design for PC users, mobile app maybe OK but PC? HOLY SHIT. Still impossible to zoom in on images once opened in the new design, works in the old. Nutrients taking over to next week.... this has been a thing for at least months, am I missing something? "Goodbye, Old Layout!" setting prioritiies straight I see. Deleting some fair to say unnecessary extras that no one really cared that much about, I mean you do it once on Diary creation, common. Promoting that just shows that there is nothing really interesting to talk about but you gotta talk about something. GOOD THAT THERE ARE NO BUGS PRESENT. You are making the Website horrible to use for PC users, forcing mobile features on PC is bad, I do not swipe on my Monitor while I chill on the Couch, different setups require different solutions, you want to make 1 all rounder, does not work. I hate to write all this but Growdiaries is the 1 really good source for detailed information on specific strains from Growers which pour their heart in and you make it worse and worse.

@James, thank you very much. No experiments this grow; unlike my other diaries. I am looking forward to smoking this for pain management; and will be taking cuttings defiantly.
