So I'm a little confused. Did anyone else who has updated discord get this weird new layout?

@Kaliah I do not have the new layout you described earlier, it must be rolling out to certain users. Or, maybe I have the wrong app version? But all my apps are up to date. It’s interesting how some apps take a while to update for certain people.

Kaliah

@miguelorduno6 Yeah, I'm not sure why or how I have it and others don't. Either way I really don't want it.

Miguel Orduno
Quiet public

@Kaliah I don’t blame you for not wanting it, I hate when developers do that, like if the app works, leave it be!

Kaliah
Quiet public

@miguelorduno6 Exactly. I want what I was used to, not a stupid new layout. I don't even like it. The old one was better in my use case.

@Kaliah "i updated specifically to see it and then didn't. Sad

Kaliah
Quiet public

@tmmahaff That's so weird. Why did I get it then?

MythicMuse
Quiet public

@Kaliah no idea. I know others did too though.

Quin

@Kaliah @tmmahaff Gradual rollout probably, like the pronouns feature.

Kaliah

@TheQuinbox @tmmahaff I wish you could opt out of that

@Kaliah I tried it for the fist time yesterday and thought it was word. Don't if it's gottten weirder since then, but either way, not a big fan. Will probably have to larn the program, but yeah.

Kaliah

@hallen Yeah. I don't at all like it

Brandon Tyson

@Kaliah So my iPhone 8 doesn't have it, so it'll be interesting to see if my 2020 SE gets it.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@BTyson That's so weird. Why did I get it then

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah It could be a gradual rollout. As an example, the App Store only showed that I could update to 193.1 even though you have 194.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@BTyson Yeah. Maybe it is. I really wish I could go back though because I don't like or want it, like I've said 35 thousand times.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Welcome to iOS.

Kaliah
Quiet public
Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson We need sideloading. Android? I'd just grab a 193.1 APK off like apkmirror or apptoid, install it, and be done.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson The EU cunts are gonna get sideloading on iOS, but we aren't. Asdlkjasfdlkjasdf

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Wish you could do that on IOS. If I could revert back, I absolutely 100% would. Maybe I'm just opposed to change, but this has been the interface I've used for 2 years and now I'm having to do something new? Right now? I hate that.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Yeah...because like you've yet to say your actual problems with it other than that it's different.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah You could write a review in the App Store about it.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@BTyson as if that'll go anywhere. Still probably not going to make a difference because it probably looks good, and that's what matters to people. Forget accessibility, this looks better, so it must be better

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Okay but like actually what's your problem with the new interface? I'd very much like DMs to be their own tab. I haven't tried it yet, but that sounds nice as hell. No more wasting like 45 seconds trying to find the god damn DM button.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson My problem is exactly that. I don't want DM's in their own tab. I really don't. I prefer them at the top above the servers. And I also don't want my servers at the bottom of the screen as a second tab bar. Oh and did I mention that, if you have more than like 4 servers, you have to click an extra button to see the rest? I have lots of problems with the new interface.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson No, you didn't, hence my utter and complete confusion. Sending 50 replies to different people just saying that you don't like it is a very ineffective strategy for letting people actually know *why* to avoid it.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson I did talk about the changes in a public post, though. Before the one at the start of this thread.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson You didn't. At least not the ones that I'd actually consider bad. DMs are in a tab ,and the server list moved. Who cares?

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Maybe I care. Maybe other people won't like it like I didn't. That's the changes that annoyed me. I don't like any of it. The only one I didn't mention was the extra servers button.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson That's the only annoying one in my case. If you don't like updates that change UIs for no good reason that's totally understandable, all be it exceedingly ironic given your posts about Windows 11.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Windows 11 didn't have anything that broke my productivity. Other than the quick settings thing, which I actually do really hate.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox We could always make another thread for this one, but were you able to go in and remove the ones you didn't need?

Kaliah
Quiet public

@BTyson @TheQuinbox Yes, but I still don't really like it. I prefer the old windows 10 thing. Especially if you click on stuff from windows B, like the network and stuff like that. I much, much prefer how windows 10 did that.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @Kaliah I don't know if she posted this in the original post but it sounds like you have to hit a button to show more servers now if you have more than I think she said 4 if I remember right.

Quin
Quiet public

@BTyson @Kaliah Yeah, she didn't. That's horrifying.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@BTyson @TheQuinbox Yeah. And it's completely random. Sometimes it shows your first like 4, sometimes it doesn't and lets you scroll, sometimes it shows like 5 and stops... It's such stupid BS

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Yeah that's horrible. Might want to edit your original post though, because I personally give 0 shits about redesigned UIs, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. That, though? A lot of people will care about that.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Yeah. Changing an entire UI causes a lot of problems for me because 1, I don't do well with massive change like that, and 2, it is not explore by touch friendly at all. For example when exploring by touch the servers are unbelievably small and hard to find. Things are just unbelievably broken.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Also, why the hell would you want DMs above the servers? That was always *super* buggy for me. Like, I'd hit the direct messages button, and get like 2 of them, then a random fuckin' server. Like what?

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson I never had any problems with that. The servers were scrolled down the left side of the screen and I could touch on them, and the channels were in the right. Clicking on servers and stuff would change the channels in the right. That's simple and easy. This just makes it complicated.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Yeah no, it never worked like that for me, the swipe order was always weird. I *never* explore by touch though, so maybe that's why? I had no idea servers were down the left side for example.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Nope, they totally are. And I liked them by that. Also you think the swipe order was weird in the old layout, just wait until you see the new one. It's completely fucked up there too. I used the old interface by touch exploring, which is why I liked it.

Quin
Quiet public

@Kaliah @BTyson Oh well that would make sense then. I never explore by touch ever, so it was weird.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Yeah, then I see why. The old interface was great if you explored by touch, this one... Really is not.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I have to incorporate explore by touch into my use of Discord even to not run the risk of the app crashing if there's a long message.

Quin
Quiet public

@BTyson @Kaliah Oh yeah, once again welcome to iOS. Not sure if that's an iOS problem but it doesn't happen on Android and it's build with a cross-platform SDK so shrugs.

Quin
Quiet public

@BTyson @Kaliah Fun fact, another uniquely iOS problem is swiping left from the text field just throwing you somewhere random in the messages list.

Kaliah
Quiet public

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Yup. Yet another reason I always touch explore it.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It's still weird that you never had the app crash completely when hitting a long message, whereas both me and Kaliah do, I think. Although 194 hasn't been offered for my SE yet.

Quin
Quiet public

@BTyson @Kaliah Oh I have. Just on iOS though. That was my whole point.

Quin
Quiet public

@BTyson @Kaliah Although I don't think that's an app crash. It apparently stays rendered visually.

Brandon Tyson
Quiet public

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It is for me, because I'll get thrown back to the home screen, and VoiceOver doesn't say "active" when I navigate to it in the switcher.
